I got home from work to a DVR fail. So I'll have to wait until it's streamed. Did you all enjoy it? Is it worth watching?
Seriously, there is NO defense against putting your hands on a woman. I don't care how much this guy is worth, he is not a man. He is a petty, small, little wimp!
The fact that he bothers to defend himself tells you everything you need to know about this jerk. He is not sorry. He feels no empathy for his wife, and he obviously feels entitled. He called it a "playful row" -- wow, he must be a barrel of laughs at home!
I'm happy to state that I've sent off a proposal for a new series. It's going to be a young adult series and different from my normal stuff, so I may publish it under a pseudonym.
I just heard my agent is doing very poorly on the health front and he's been evacuated because of the Colorado fires. It's just so tragic. I am grateful to understand that this is not the end and that love lasts through the ages, regardless of our time here on earth. So make it count!
I wanted to write a Supernatural story for the Christian market and "The Awakening" as its tentatively called, follows a pair of high school students, charged with binding a demon that has been unleashed on their small town in the California redwoods. The above is the model I've used for their high school. I'll keep you posted. Go make today matter and tell someone you love them!!
(Oh and FYI, I'm working late at my other job, so "The Bachelorette" recap will be late for those of you who care!)
By LA standards, it's a very simple home and it's going for sale for only $5.25 million -- which for California is quite reasonable. But honestly, the outside is gorgeous. See ALL the pics here:
But could you live in a house this void of color? To me, it would be like living in a cave. It looks like the house was never finished.
Not ONE room in the pictures is a different color. Maybe this is just staged and they didn't live in it like this. I hope. Because how can you live in a house that beautiful, but that bland? Makes me itch.
We're used to Real Housewives trying to extend their fifteen minutes of fame and expand "their brand" -- as if adult women catfighting is a brand, but I digress. These shows are turning into one bad commercial.
The Real Housewives have given us the following:
New York:
Suck-it-up Knickers & a book from Jill Zarin
Skinny Girl Margarita by Bethanny
Pinot Grigio + Religious Jewelry by Ramona
The Countess' (ahem) music
New Jersey:
Theresa's cookbooks & Faballinis (sp?)
Melissa's singing
Manzo Black Water (I still don't know what that is)
OC:
Wines by Wives
Gretchen Christine trailer park accessories & handbags
Vicki's Vodka
I'm sure there's many more, but the one that sends me over the edge? This Real Housewives of New Jersey storyline with Jacqueline Laurita and her autistic son. I've been around autism my entire life. It's my brother's diagnosis and I worked in the summers at his school. My own son was diagnosed with Aspergers and I did all the treatments available at Stanford so that he is a normal kid (well, as normal as you get in this family) so when I see Jacqueline pushing this "Hyperbaric Chamber" therapy for her son's autism. This isn't just some cheap handbag that isn't hurting anyone.
Now I'm sure she's a good mother, and I know understand the desperation of feeling your child may not have a normal life. But that chamber isn't going to do squat. And I hate to think that someone might be influenced by false hopes. That they think they need this to get their child to a better diagnosis.
I was very lucky to live right next to Stanford and have the best insurance for my son when he was young. Many parents don't have this option and I just don't want to see this kind of snake oil make a parent feel hopeless.
I imagine she's getting all these therapies for free so that they get screen time. I hope that isn't true and I'm just cynical. A home hyperbaric chamber is supposedly $10k to $18k according to Jenny McCarthy.
Jillian Harris is on HGTV and she and her partner are much more likable than the original couple on this show. She has such a playful personality and it lends itself very well to the show. It's a bit of acting, and I'm not sure how much of the actual designing she does, but she's much better at this career than picking husbands. (Remember Ed?) Ugh. I still remember when she sent Reid Rosenthal home over Ed. Seriously, he was in real estate. Their partnership would have been perfection.
I'm not sure I've forgiven her yet. But she is a talented designer.
And I can't talk about Reid without his pic, right?
Jillian can't act though and that is an issue on the show...
What better way to celebrate it than Kanye getting his new little gold digger. (Okay, that's bad, and I admit to loving that song.)
I hate that I'm a Kanye fan, but I am, and I've got to congratulate him for his first Father's Day. Granted, we won't see pics of the baby until Mama Kardashian sucks the last dollar out of some tabloid. Seriously, why? Why do people pay to hear anything about the Kardashians?
Kanye is actually famous for something. And he's talented. And best of all, now he's a daddy. I hope he has a good day and enjoys his baby girl. I'm sorry his mother isn't here to see her grand baby.
Someday, this little princess is going to grow up and say, "Mom, what the heck were you thinking? You UPHOLSTERED me!"
Do you think they'll get married?
Have a wonderful day and call your daddy! Mine has already called me and told me to take down my Facebook picture. Warmth. LOL (It's my wedding day with him, and I thik it's the most recent picture of us, so it's time to update. He's a photographer, so never in the pics.)
BTW, I think it's awful they're acting like it's a big deal that Kanye was there for the birth of his baby. What the heck? Why wouldn't he be? The press really does think he's a monster. (Don't listen to that song!)
I watched Superman II with Christopher Reeve...oh how I loved his chemistry with Margot Kidder. I heard this one doesn't have any romance and the storyline is convoluted. Did anyone see it? I would rather watch the old one again, but Seth wants to see it. So I probably have to go regardless of the reviews, but I'm not expecting romance. Boo
It's looking Dark and Batman-like and I don't like Batman. Only Spidey and Superman.
I'm crying for young moms everywhere, because when my Colicky baby (JONAH!!!) was young, he would not sleep ANYWHERE but in the "Magic Chair" -- the Magic Chair was much like a Nap Nanny. We didn't go anywhere without the Magic Chair. Once, DH left me at his sisters without it for SIX hours for an annual poker game.
I was murderous when he came home. He would never forget to leave the magic chair again.
I really feel for baby product makers because no matter how safe you make something, there's an idiot out there who can screw it up. Five babies have died from the use of this seat, and I just have to ask, how? I mean, it doesn't look exceptionally dangerous. Did they put it next to a pool or something? No one should have to deal with the death of a baby, but I still don't get how this thing can be dangerous. It's like a raised blanket with a seat belt.
There are no refunds. The company is out of business. How any baby product company stays in business is the question.
