He finally believed me!!!

Normally hubby doesn’t buy into the “hippy stuff” I make us do. You know, the simple things like turning off the light when you leave the room, not turning on the water until your ready to wash your hands off, stuff like that. Well the other night we were watching “Blue Gold: World Water Wars” on Netflix and he changed his mind.

He watches documentaries all the time and usually they don’t really interest me but this one held my attention for a little while. He was all over this movie. Watching it he decided that we can no longer buy anything made by Nestle because of what he say in this movie. I went online and looked to see what brands they owned and which of them I have bought in the past, it turns out that there were only 2 of their brands that I buy, Beneful and Haggan Dazs. Watch the movie and think about where your water comes from.

1st day back to work

It’s Monday night and I am bone tired after a full day back to work. Well not really. But I am tired because I was really into watching my Boise State win their 14th game this season!!!!! In case you didn’t know it I am a HUGE football fan and wanted to go to the game today because they played here in Arizona. It would only have been a 4 hr drive one way, lol. But that’s okay. I got to watch all but the first 5 minutes of it on TV. Next year we are going to a game in Boise where I will get to kiss the blue field.But onto another topic.

The kids were not ready school. Most of them came back to me cranky and tired. I know Savie was not ready because she had a MAJOR meltdown. She’s never been this bad before but she hit and kicked me. I was not happy so I sat on the floor with her and held her arms and crossed my legs so she couldn’t do it again until she was calm. I’m upset because my other kids saw it but she has no one to blame but herself. I just don’t know what to do with her sometimes. SHe is getting out of hand and it has to stop soon. My nerves can’t take it much longer. On the plus side though she keeps telling me she loves me. It’s so cute the way that she says it but that does not erase what she’s done, you know?

I have decided that this summer I will be closed one morning a week so we can go to the pool. Savie and I never got to go together. She went with a friend once, and then a couple times when we were on the road but I would like to see my new body in a bathing suit, you know? I’ve lost plenty of weight so I should be able to get into a newer bathing suit. Am I selfish? Probably but that’s ok. I have a right to do that every now and then.

Well she’s woken up and it’s almost midnight. I need to get to bed. Have a wonderful night everyone.

DWTS week 9

This is going to be the week that Ty goes. I love him and the way that he dances, when he loosens up, but I think that this is the end for him.

BALLROOM ROUND

Shawn (with the Quickstep)- That was cute! I love the song, one of my favorite movies, but that was upbeat, cute and quirky all the things he wanted.

Ty (with the A Tango)- wow the intensity that he has when he does this dance. I loved it, all that was missing was a smouldering cigarette in her mouth.

Lil Kim (with the waltz)- Beautiful song choice, beautiful dance. That was sweet and soft and romantic dance. I liked it.

Gilles (with the Foxtrot)- Great song, one of my favorites but the dance didn’t do it for me. There was a lot of posing and other stuff. And of course Cheryl with the hair whipping around.

Mellisa (with the V waltz)- She looks so beautiful even when she just stands there. I love her hair when it’s curled and long like that.

OK  with the pros teaching the stars and trying to teach stars i know that Ashton is going to be good but I’m curious to see how the others handle it.

LATIN ROUND

(no one needed the image of whatever it was that Len said lol)

Shawn (with the Paso Doble)- I don’t know maybe I was hoping for something a little more dramatic but that just seemed a little blah. It didn’t give me chills like I was hoping.

Ty (wiht the Rumba)- Oh that was cute, he did his solo will his wife. that was just adorable. But the hips were painful to watch but I think this is the end of the road for him. Sorry Ty but it’s time to get off the dance floor and get back on the bull. And of course the lift police was there.

Lil Kim (with the Salsa)- this is her dance!!!!!! Bring back the booty!!!! I loved the trick!!!! That freaked me out for a minute but that came out sooooo good. There were a couple of mis-steps there but that was so her and that was just so much fun.

Gilles (wiht the rumba)- Cheryl!!!!! She cracks me up, “that comes naturally”. Wow does his wife know how lucky she is??? Cause I’m pretty sure there are a couple thousand women in the world that will take him. Get the hose and cool off the room!!

Mellisa (with the Samba)- that was cute i have to give her credit for that. At least she didn’t fall off the counter like the other girl did. She didn’t shake as much as I thought she could have, she probably shook more when she was a cheerleader, lol.

DWTS week 8

Well with LT out of it that means that only Lil Kim will have a skimpy outfit, lol. I love when there is a team dance, you get to see just how they work with someone that they don’t like that much. I wonder what happened to Melissa.

Gilles with the Lindy hop- what is with Cheryl and her partners hurting their arms? This is the second one, true this time it’s his collar bone but still. This was a good dance I wasn’t that great in my opinion but what I know. I give him a 6 for tonight.

Lil Kim with the Paso double- wow that’s all I can say. That was fierce, powerful and she bounced on her butt. She looked so serious that it gave me shills. I give her a 10 for this one.

Chuck with the Cha Cha- I am totally not surprised that he got kicked in the head it was bound to happen. Maybe he should wear sating more often; he seems to move so much better in it, lol. That was cute and fun and upbeat I loved it. I give him a 9.

Shawn with the Samba- tips from his mother? Hmmm interesting. That was cute but for some reason that seemed slow and a little weird. Mark seemed to be doing most of the dance she was just there. I give her an 8.

Melissa with the jive- why did they have to keep saying that “even though this was the practice and you were just marking”? We know that but get to what you liked about the dance already. Poor Melissa.

Ty with the salsa- wow what happened to him? He got a spray tan and was just a wild man on the floor. Throwing her around like she was a rope. Just all over the place I loved it!!! I give him a 9 on that one.

Team Mambo- I have no words for that. To busy laughing over the ending but I like that a lot. I wonder what team tango has up their sleeve.

Team Tango- yes they were better but I still like mambo better. Two different kinds of dances so there was a lot of differences between them. I like Team Mambo better, they were more fun to watch but Team Tango was better.

DWTS

Yes I know that this a few days late but I wrote this the night that I watched but just haven’t had a chance to post until now. tThings have been a little hectic at work.

David- I liked his dance. True he’s not one of the younger people out there but he did hold his own. That takes a lot.

Lil Kim- The sex appeal of this should be very easy for her. The dance moves might be a little hard but the the lifts were very impressive. I had shivers from thi. I’m speechless.

Chuck- It was cute but what do you expect from Julianne? I knew it would be cute and that she would put a lot of fun stuff in it for him but it was just ok, I give him a 6.

Lawerance- This should be an easy one for Edyta, she’s got the legs and lines that lawerance might be a little uncomfortable with the wife. Nicely done but Lil Kim’s was better.

Ty- Wow that was pretty good. He did get a little off but he wasn’t that far off. I liked it a lot. I was hoping to see him throw her around a little more but that was good. A 7 is what I give him.

Mellisa- Wow. She started to slow down towards the middle of the dance but it was so good. I wanted to dance to!!! I wanted to be out there dance and getting thrown around the floor.

Holly- this should be a little easy for her. Looking sexy comes easy for her so it seems. Nice dance a little safe but her back hurts also.

The Woz- Wow that painful.

Steve-O- Wow that was….something. He was a step behind the whole time and it was so hard to watch.

Gilles- How can a sexy French man not be sexy in this dance? Can we say Antiono Banderas???? Get a hose that wasy hot and sexy. I think I need a cold shower. Wow karrie ann. Yes the wife is a lucky woman.

Shawn- She’s so cute. The smile is just adorable. That was so adorable. That was just cute and fun and high energy. I loved it.

Tom Cruise

I don’t usually watch the Today Show but this morning I had to, Tom Cruise was on. Now before you start thinking that I’m a big Cruise fan (even though I do still like some of his earlier movies) that’s not why. I was watching 3 years ago when this happened and was curious to see what would happen this time. I was personally offened when he made the remarks he did last time he was on but he was also making a big deal out of the whole “TomKat” and all. I didn’t see the show myself but I did catch the video online.

Did you watch him this morning? I thought, that for the short amount of time that he was on this morning he slightly redeemed himself. Just slightly. I’m still not to interested in watching his movies and think he’s a little out there but he did say that what he sid last time didn’t come out the way he meant it to so that’s a start.

Dancing with the Stars

I was all ready to start watching this around 8 tonight but then the football game got good, lol so I didn’t even get started until about 9:30pm.

Brooke (salsa)-(I am so sick of seeing Brooke (just kidding). I really want to see her mess up somehow.) This was not a good dance for her, she was trying to hard and she looked tired. I wonder if the babies were keeping her up last night,lol. I guess I shouldn’t have asked for that.

Cody (paso dobla)- I love her voice when she gets exicete. Interesting choice in music and outfits. That was a good. I liked it.

Warren ( mambo)- I love him and want him to win so bad!!!! I love watching him dance it’s just fun and flirty and cute. I have to vote for my man.

Lance (mambo)- I love him to but it’s more about Warren. Nice hold there Lacey, all I can say is WOW you have some control there. That was beautiful. Sorry Warren but that was so much better than yours.

Second Dances

Brooke (salsa)- I think there should be a rule that says you have to wear red and a dress to do the salsa, it just looks so much better. Not that the gold thing wasn’t bad but wow, could you pull my shoulder out a little more. Did you notice that she did the same air spilt as the por’s, lol?

Cody (salsa) another golf out fit? lol. She’s holding her side on those turn jumps I wonder if it hurts a little. There was a small mis-step but it was good.

Wow look her nose, she looks very Rockabilly but he just looks goofy, lol. I wonder if it’s because his teeth look so white.

Warren (jitter bug)- Ha ha ha ha ha, that was cute. Poor baby looks a little tired after all that.

Lance (jitterbug)- I hope his is really good, for his grandfather’s sake. That had to be a little un-nerving, losing a shoe at the beginning of the dance. He did really well, all things considered.

Did you hear what happened?

I think that if you’ve been anywhere on the blog this past weekend you have heard about the big No-no that Motrin had. If not check out this post first, then mine, then this one, and this article. I even got in on the action.

Now as far as I know

• the ad has been pulled from the website
• several bloggers got the ad agency on the phone (kudos’s to you guys)
• there were over 1,000 post/comments about this

Now I always knew that the power mommies have is massive, just look at how quickly we can get a shild to stop doing something with “a look”, but that coupled with the power of the Internet?!?!? That makes us so powerful and informed. We have so much control that car ad will be changing in the future. No longer will ther be some beautiful, leggy woman sprawled across the hood of a car showing the whole world her boobs, Ads making woman look, and feel, dumb will become a think of the past. Our day is coming ladies, our day is coming.

The nerve of some people

Have you seen this ad? I was over at Crunchy’s Blog and saw the post about it I headed over to check it out myself. I was, and still are a little, pissed off about it. This is beyond rude, disrespectful, unprofessional, and so many other things that I can’t think of right now. How can something that is so nice to do, a great way to bond with your baby be turned into something so crude?

I won’t buying any of these products.

Dancing with the stars week 7

This will be a first for me, usually I post this on my other blog but I need to start posting here more often so here goes.

This week it’s two dances, their individual dance and then a team dance, this should be fun since they have never, in the history of DWTS, done this before. Team Cha-cha v Team Paso Doubla-

Warren (foxtrot)- I love that they are able to drop in on other dancers practicing so they can get a better look I love watching him dance. That was beautiful and graceful. I am so happy for Kim that she finally has someone that is willing to put in the time and effort into it. I give him a solid 8.

Susan (Paso Doble) -She’s to careful, she seems to walk thru her dances even the fast ones. There was no fire and anger in this one for me. It just seemed a little blah. I don’t know what they judges are seeing but I give her a 7.

Maurice (Cha-Cha)-His smile is back!!!!! i know this song and that is not what it was meant for. Yeah for him!!! Even with the bad foot he was good. I give him a solid 8.

Cody (waltz)-This should be interesting. Edyta having to pretend to be in love with someone, that’s so funny. But seriously how hard is to to pretend your in love with her? LOL. What is going on with the dress? That thing is eyesore. That was beautiful, even with that fugly dress of hers. I almost wanted to cry. I give him a solid 8 maybe a 9.

Lance (rumba)- Lacey is getting a little negative. She sounds like his girlfriend (if he had one ha ha). I love watching them dance though. They put little thigs in their dances to make it their own. I give them a 9. (I have to vote for them a little more then Warren.)

Brooke (foxtrot) -Like she needed a push, lol. Beautiful song, beautiful dance. Very 30-ish with the dress, the hair, and the music.

Team Cha-Cha-

You can see that Toni slows down for her. She misses a lot of things on her part but he always covered for her. It was really obvious during the dance. She is the weakest link in this team.I have to agree Lance/Lacey was the saving grace for the group. I do think that Cody was pretty good it’s just Susan, she threw the group off.

Team Paso Doble

Wow that is just powerful. That was so much better then the cha-cha. everyone was good, Maurice had a small mis-step but he recovered so nicely. That was a great group dance, everyone had a powerful part and then came back together. I agree with them all that this was much tighter then the Cha-Cha.
