Congratulations Everywhere

My Ashley is engaged! I just don’t even know where to begin here. It seems like yesterday we were obsessing over Anakin and Harry Potter and here she is, all grown up. Here’s to a lifetime of love come easy and happiness. :bubbly: :love:

My Ben is free! Free from the martyred whining and shortcomings of the less intelligent. May he find happiness with anyone, so long as it’s not in the form of a bitter, histrionics-prone, lunatic. :bubbly: :love:

Instead, I got this…

lost-logo_0 A ten minute episode of LOST this week! Actually, it wasn’t worth 10 minutes, I just slowed it down to look at the dimples a few times. *sigh* I guess ABC doesn’t care whether we actually enjoy the show or not as long as we continue to DVR/watch it in some capacity.

The two-hour premiere of ANTM was lackluster and didn’t get better upon second viewing today. The first photo shoot was the worst concept yet….and that’s saying a lot. I’m sure it will get better, and some of the girls actually look like models this season, which is a drastic improvement over past seasons. I’d love to see an “All Star” Cycle. Yoanna would sooo take them all. True.

Top Chef will not be watched again until the next season. I can’t get over the rat face of Hosea. Maybe the judges had just watched that Ratatouille movie and were a bit too affected by it. This is the only season that I deleted from DVR, and I am so disappointed in the show. Really. I did, however, read that my votes counted and that Fabio won “Fan Favorite”. Sweet.

After my pitiful dinner of cous cous, I’m going to watch Survivor and call it a night. You should, too.

I Need Something Good

I didn’t work today because I just didn’t feel “tummy-well”. I decided to surprise everyone by showing up at lunchtime and working half a day, but that didn’t work out too well. In the process, I left a task unfinished and had to allow Mrs. Bush to take up my slack and finish it for me. I HATE that. When she called to tell me my contact was there to pick up some information, my head split open. Fortunately, she is made of gold and handled it for me.

I decided to check on a financial matter that is so bungled up I can’t even go into details. That conversation was unproductive, frustrating, and made my headache so debilitating that I took two more Excedrin while hanging up the phone. Ugh.

Poor Istar seems to have suffered the worst of it; he’s currently running around soaking wet because he won’t let me dry him after his bath. Secretly, I think he likes it. Hobbit’s looking at me like I’m the Executioner and won’t even entertain the thought of staying in my line of sight for long. Heh.

Happy Birthday, Hob!

babyhobbit1 Hobbit Lee Miller is five years old today. She hasn’t yet awakened from her slumber party with Istar to open her presents, but she plans to spend the day eating birthday treats and sleeping many more hours.

Happy Birthday, Hobbit! :love: :cake: :love:
