Back to Blogging!

So it's been a little bit since I last blogged.. I've been meaning to get on here and update.. but I haven't really been up to it.. so I've put it off until now. Sorry to throw it at you all at once! But here it goes...

This picture is the only picture I have taken in the last 2 months.. it's at a random red light. If you can't tell my hair is super long! I'm debating on if I should let it continue.. or chop it off!

Old Navy

has stepped up their Flip Flip game!!!
During one of our tubing trips.. while walking across the water, I stepped out of one of my flips flops.. and in my attempt to catch it before it floated away.. I stepped out of the other one.. I was able to catch one, but not the other! Bummed, that I had to walk around the rest of the day with one shoe..but, I was thankful that they were cheap Old Navy's and not my good Reefs! I went to Old Navy to get another pair.. and to my surprise.. their new flip flops are Great!! They have skinny straps that are closer to your toes.. and the souls have the right about of squish! I'm very happy with my $3.50 flip flops!!

TV Talk

I was meaning to blog about the season finales of all my shows.. but during that time, I had to much other stuff going on... so I never did.. but I will just skim through it really quick..

LOST: was sooo good! So much stuff happened! It's been a while now, so I won't go through it all, but I will just say.. I am sooo glad I never gave up on it. I've watched every episode from day one.. and I will continue until the final episode.. no matter what!

Desperate Housewives: Also a good one! I loved the 5 year flash forward.. I had a feeling some of those things would happen. I wonder if next year they will pick up were the 5 year thing left off.. or if they will just show us how all of that came to be. Who knows.. but I am looking forward to it. Thank goodness Lynette got rid of Tom's little girl!! She was irritatingly awful!

Ugly Betty: I LOVE this show.. I am soo glad I started watching it. I hope she picks Gino!! and not Henry.. I'm so over Henry.

Flavor of Love: I was soooo happy for Thing 2! I knew she would win.. but I didn't know about baby mama!! I couldn't believe he proposed to his kids mom on the reunion. BS!

Dancing with the Stars: Kristie was the best. Glad she won.

American Idol: I didn't care who won as long as Archuletta didn't win. So I was satisfied with that.



Miss Rap Supreme: This had to be the most low budget show on TV but of course, I still tuned in! I was pulling for Ms. Cherry.. but she came in 3rd. Reese Steele won. Whatever.



I can't remember all the shows I was watching.. but the shows I am watching now are!!

Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood: I like her... I think I am going to read her book next.

The Mole: I'm not that into it.. but I watch it because there is hardly anything else on.

Weeds: I have to go to my cousins house, who has Showtime to watch this.. but it is definitely one of my favs!

Denise Richards: It's Complicated: I like this show.. and so does Diego :)

Tila Tequila: It's almost over, I was routing for Brittany.. but she got cut last week. It's entertaining for the most part. Diego sometimes watches this one too :)

The Real World: One of my faves! It never disappoints.. always some kind of drama going on.

America's Best Dance Crew: Starts today. I have it set to record!


I'm not sure but I think that's all.. it's hard to keep track! That's what the DVR is for!

#51 Read Another Book

Bright Shiny Morning
by James Frey
Photobucket

Let me start off by saying that this book was written by James Frey.. the same author that wrote A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard. There was all this controversy surrounding him, because the memoir turned out to be more fiction than truth. I will be the first to say that I am NOT into reading.. I really never have been, but after hearing all that flack.. I decided to see what it was all about, so I read A Million Little Pieces.. I was GREAT! I was so into it, I could not put it down.. I really could care less if it was all true, a little bit true, or completely fiction.. it was written so well.. and it just consumed me. As soon as I finished AMLP, I read My Friend Leonard which picked up where AMLP left off.. again. I was consumed. Loved it. (btw, I read those a few years ago)

So, that brings me to his 3rd book. Bright Shiny morning. I heard he had a new book out, so I was like shit, I gotta get that!! Welll..... this one.. was... well written! but.. not as good. The entire book is about Los Angeles. It's about the people who come to LA with a dream. There are tons of characters in the book, but it focuses on 4 main story lines.. A girl with immigrant parents, who works as a maid for a very mean rich lady, a famous Hollywood action hero.. who is married with kids, but is really gay, a couple who move to LA from Ohio to escape abusive parents, and a homeless man who lives on Venice beach. I liked the stories of these characters, but I could have done with out the "fun facts" of LA that occur through out the book.

I don't really know if it's that I don't like this book.. or if it's just not as good as the first.. or maybe I was just expecting more.

Texas Heat

Man! What is up with the GD hotness in Austin!! I know it's Texas, and I know it's expected.. but I really hate being so hot all the time. I don't even want to go outside unless I plan on being fully submerged in water!! I wish, oh how I wish our greenbelt would fill up! Sadly, not this year. I guess we got spoiled with all of last years rain! I guess we will have to continue to go south for the summer! South to New Braunfels that is.. we have gone tubing a time or two this year.. and I have gotten a pretty nice tan. For some reason.. I always forget the camera, hopefully next time I will remember to bring it along!
