Bachelor Pad... Has it redeemed itself?
So, I had all but given up on this stupid, stupid show. It has by far been the worst season and cast yet.
Buuuuuuuut... On Blakely and Tony's date, you know, Tony is the guy from Emily's season, the guy who has a kid (we freaking know Tony), anyway... They go on some backwoods, country date. Tony turns on the radio to dance with Blakely (for fear that he might get "donkey punched in the throat") and what song do we hear? "Love Don't Come Easy" by Wes!!!! Wes!!!!!! If you've ever watched The Bachelor, The Bachelorette or Bachelor Pad, you know Wes!!! Worst guy ever... Best contestant ever! And that ever-loving' song that he sang to Jillian over and over and over, and then sang it to Gia over and over and over..I even know all the words!
Well I'll watch again. Well played Bachelor Pad.

Ready Reader-pants
Okay, so I haven’t been watching much TV lately. (SHOCKER) But what I have been doing is reading. I have found that I might have somewhat of a problem on my hands. I have always been a reader. As a kid I would read anything I could get my hands on, and now as an adult, I’ve not lost most of that. Now, as a parent of a toddler who requires ALL of my attention, I don’t get to read as much as I would like to, but I seem to fit it in on lunch breaks, while drying my hair, and after Munchkin’s bedtime.
So, lets start w/ the root of all obsession. The Nook. I got the Nook for my birthday last year and it took me a long time to get used to the idea of holding an e-reader. I’m super nerdy in the way that a book is my favorite smell, and I find comfort in the worn pages and musty smell. So, I got the Nook. I delayed buying a book, because I really felt like I was cheating on my all time favorite past time.
Buck up! Slap yourself in the face, just do it!! So I did… I can’t remember my first “Nook Book” but lets just say that it was good.. there’s rarely a book that I have mediocre feeling towards. And then a realization came over me. This is one stop shopping for the nerdy! Score! So, you read like lightening (which I actually do) and then when you’re done and you have that sad feeling in the pit of your stomach, like “man, I finished that really great book – I had a REAL connection with the characters and now it’s over”.. but WAIT! As you finish, you see the “What to read next” tab…
Light shines through the window sheers, and music of the gods start pouring into your ears and I think that might be doves flying…
Ha ha, I digress.. So I pick my next book, based on “what we think you’ll love”.. which is kinda right and kinda wrong, but who cares! I don’t have to drive myself to Barnes & Noble, or Target or HELL ON EARTH (Wal-Mart). AND what’s more? The Nook prices are less than actual book prices!!
Needless to say, since I am a fast reader, I’ve read 5 books in the past 4 days. I think that is a little craze-balls, wouldn’t you say? Only 3 of the 5 books are actually review worthy (those will come later as I’m CERTAIN that I will be re-reading them-everyone does that right?).
My DVR is totally suffering my newest obsession, ahem, I mean hobby.
More later..XO

Gold Medal Worthy?
I'm sorry, I'm still mad about it... Felix Sanchez winning gold for the Dominican Republic is ridiculous! Not so much, him, as a person, but for the Dominican Republic?? This guy was born in New York, spent the majority of his childhood in Southern California and attended USC. This guy is about as Domincan as I am.
Now that I've said it, I feel better.

Everyone Wants To Rule the World and oh yeah, The Olympics
It's no secret that I watch ENTIRELY too much television. I mean, really, who needs two DVR's that can record up to 4 shows simultaneously? THIS GIRL.
I'll start with True Blood.... seriously, with only three episodes left, you'd think it would be a little more interesting. I mean, with the whole Lilith thing (ick to the hundredth degree every time she pops up) to Alcide being abjured to the TERRIBLE casting of Sookie's fae cousin and supposed jaw-dropper, Claude to Tara being mad at the world (surprised?) to Bill being a brainwashed Lilith / Salome groupie (not a good look on ANY man)to Terry being haunted by a fire monster that doesn't have anything to do with any of the story lines to Scott Foley (swoon!) being a hateful-bigot jerkface.... really, this season has been lackluster at best. But really, the icing on last night's episode that I cannot stop thinking about? When Arlene gets to Merlotte's, of course she's the only one there... NOBODY EVER WORKS AT MERLOTTE'S...but what is she wearing? A $120 pair of bedazzled jeans that are worthy of The Situation or Sammie Sweetheart from Jersey Shore. Really? C'mon costume department at True Blood... you can do better than this! You know that Backwoods Red-headed Barbie Arlene wouldn't be working at Merlotte's (ahem) and spouting off, "My kids" every 10 seconds if there were designer denim in her closet.
Now, on to the only T.V. worth watching.. The Olympics. We saw a lot of USA pride this weekend, including Phelps' last race ever. For-Eva Eva? (ha ha, OK, I'll stop) But he has stated over and over again that he will not race competitively after the age of 30. Ya hear that Matt Lauer? You can stop asking him now. I counted about `10 different interviews this weekend where he states the same. We. Are. Over. It. #TeamLochte Speaking of the Gator Nation's pretty poster boy... he admits to peeing in the practice pools... ew. Gross. I know, I know, everyone at some point in their lives have peed in a pool... but at the Olympics? Can't you just hold it? Or go in a bush? Lie to me. Too much info, Ryan. But I still have a majorly inappropriate crush on you!
And Usain Bolt's 9.63 second 100 meter dash? Wow... there are no words, other than HE CAN'T BE HUMAN! That's running at Vampire Speed! Special shout out to Sanya Richards-Ross for winning Gold in the Women's 400 Meter. Cheers to you Sanya from the Jag Nation!
That's it for now, don't worry, there is a lot of T.V. left this week- if I can fit it all in.

Here is your daily dose of cute.
Playtime is fun at my house. It involves a naked baby!!! Everyone loves a naked baby!
A little thing I like to call spelling and grammar.
What is it with people these days? Is everyone so caught up in the hustle and bustle of their busy lives (or too busy texting and driving) to stop and use spell check?
People...I know you went to school and let me remind you of a few things:
1. It is not, "I seen that on TV.". Rather, try, "I saw that on TV."
Or more commonly, "I seen u tha other day." (NO) How about, "I saw you the other day." (Yes!)
2. "Your so pretty.". There are few things that will make me more annoyed than this. FOR THE LAST TIME, it's "you're".
That is all.

KC

New look, new title..
I've been trying to get back into this ... I've been meaning to come back here and there.
So, I'm trying something new.. not that I'm not still on the never-ending quest for the perfect shade of blonde, but this time, maybe I'll find it a little more cleverly.
P.S. is "cleverly" a word?
soon...KC
