I Tivo'd Jon and Kate + 8 last night.
There, I admitted it.
My thoughts....
- I'm wondering why in the hell anyone would think redesigning their kitchen in the middle of a separation/divorce is a good idea.
- "What planet do you live on?" - priceless.
- Those kids are freakin' adorable!
- "Horrification" (Kate's word) is what I feel when I look at those ridiculous earrings Jon wears. He is a total DB.
- The paparazzi need to find a more interesting "story" to follow. Really.
- The show was much more enjoyable when the whole divorce thing wasn't the underlying issue.
- I personally think that Jon Gosselin should be a 'guest' on Discovery Channel's Shark Week - stick his ass in a cage and see what happens. I'm betting the sharks would know he's a DB too.

Did you watch?
Let me admit this first: I used to watch Jon & Kate + 8....when it was actually somewhat entertaining. I even Tivo'd it for a time.
Then it became annoying. And fake. And Kate turned into Superbitch. So I took it off the Tivo schedule and stopped watching.
When the show first started it seemed to be about a real family dealing with real issues and struggling to make it all work. Now, it has turned into a show about a ''tv created' family dealing with the tabloids and struggling to get as many freebies and product placements as possible. It's not reality TV anymore...it's just crap.
That being said, I (like 7 million other people out there) tuned in to Monday's "Season 5" premiere.
What a train wreck.
Here are a few thoughts:
- in the 'flashbacks' Kate actually looked like your normal mom - frazzled, hair not quite done, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts to run errands .... this was when the show was more about the kids than Kate...but....
- ...flash foward to the present day and her trip to the party store: hair perfectly styled, designer high heeled boots paired with jeans and a cute top and coat. I'm sorry...but are you freakin' kidding me? What mom gets dressed like THAT to go to the party store with 8 kids in tow? I'll tell you who....the mom who KNOWS the paparazzi will be there and she wants to be sure that the next cover of US Weekly has a good photo of her! Gah. She's a horrible disgusting person.
- I don't feel any sympathy for Kate. She tried (very hard) to put on this air of being funny and witty and friendly and it all felt forced and fake. The whole laughing-at-the-bugs part was so contrived. No one who is that big of a control freak would laugh at swarms of bugs crashing her kids' party. Please. And she tries to put on this air of "oh poor me"...well, girlfriend, you brought this upon yourself. You are a shrew. You treat your husband as if he's the 9th child. And all this 'boo hoo why is the media picking on me' crap is just that - CRAP.
- Those poor kids. They are the only victims in this whole train wreck.
If Jon & Kate had any compassion they would stop this charade now and kick out the cameras and focus on fixing their family (if it can even be fixed -- it might be totally beyond repair).

Does winter weather make people stupid?
Yes, in fact, I think it does. Case in point: we had a little bit of snow last night, making roads wet and a bit slick this morning. And so, what do 99% of all Toledo drivers do? Well, they drive over the speed limit on the expressway, ride my ass (seriously, a few were THISCLOSE to the back bumper of my car), and then get pissed when I choose to GO THE SPEED LIMIT! Morons, every last one of them.
Speaking of stupid people...did anyone watch "Homeland Security: USA" last night on ABC? I have to admit it...I watched. (And before you all go "what the hell? has she lost her mind?"...listen - there was nothing else to watch last night. Well, OK...The Biggest Loser was on, but I hate that show. It sets unrealistic goals and well, it irritates me.)
So anyway...I was watching this Homeland Security show last night -- and let's just put this out there first: The people trying to cross our borders are often very stupid.
The people who work the borders, TSA, etc....they rock. But, I would NOT want their jobs - it looks like constant stress, 24-7. They're keeping us safe...so two big thumbs up for them. [I will try to remember this when I'm stuck in the TSA security line on my way to Disney World in April, loaded down with 2 kids, a stroller and a diaper bag!].
But, man OH man....some of the people trying to cross our borders are just STUPID. A special kind of stupid. My favorite was the Swiss belly dancer who came to the US without a work visa and without any US dollars...to find a job as a belly dancer (because, apparently there's a huge market for belly dancers in LA?). It was almost painful to watch her segement...many things were lost in translation with that poor dear.
I doubt very much that I'll add the show to my Tivo season pass...but it might be worth watching every now and then .
And so, without further ado....today 'top 5' list:
Today I am grateful for:
1. A good (great!) review at work. They like me, they really like me.
2. Being an overly organized, type-A person.
3. That there are people willing to risk their own safety to keep us safe.
4. The fact that it's Wednesday.
5. Twilight.
