Coming Clean

Ok, I'll admit it. I don't care for 'Jon and Kate, Plus Eight'. I find it stressful. Taking care of one baby is enough work without watching eight of them running around. Plus, I don't find it all that 'real-life'. It's hard for me to believe that the special things they do during certain episodes aren't thinly veiled supplier freebies. Also, I don't like the way Kate treats Jon. Cut him slack!
That's all.

I watched it during the last season, if only to be able to feel grateful after it was over. Grateful for the fact that we only have two children and for the fact that even if I can be cranky, she's crankier.

I always wind up feeling thankful after I've watched it.

Apparently it's a girl thing.
I agree it makes me grateful I only have one. But it also makes me think about how you have to live the life you are given and while I am a little disgusted by them selling their children's lives (ala the Dionne quints but that was a CRAZY situation) They have used this situation to provide a life and memories they wouldn't otherwise have had.

I watch Super Nanny for the same reasons.

It MUST be a girl thing....

I do not think she is that awful to Jon. Havent' you heard him be mean back? That is part of why I like it---they fight and it is still okay. They love each other and get over fights very quickly.

I secretly want to send Marin to college in PA and marry Joel. ;)

2024 Olympics?

Next week the US Olympic Committee will decide if they'll bid on the 2024 Olympics (I'm betting they will) and may decide on which city they'll put forth to host.  There are four cities on the host list: Boston Los Angeles San Francisco Washington DC I've long believed that if the US bids on 2024, they will win.  The US hasn't hosted an Olympics since Salt Lake City in 2002 and no summer games since Atlanta in 1996.  Given the importance that the US has, particularly in funding, a 28 year gap is a huge one. So who gets the nod?  I have absolutely no insider knowledge but I'd like to make some guesses.  Pure speculation to follow. San Francisco is an interesting choice.  The Bay Area is certainly beautiful.  I'm guessing (I haven't checked into it) that there are enough venues in NoCal to satisfy the sporting requirements.  Between the professional teams (six?) and the number of big time colleges, there must be.  Throw in the big mo...

Box Elder Bugs

Yesterday morning's breakfast started badly. I'd split my bagel in half and was ready to toast it when I noticed a BOX ELDER BUG sitting on the toaster. The FP Gal tried to help remove him but it looked like he went into one of the slots. Not cool. She then shook out the toaster over the garbarge while I helpfully supervised from the other side of the kitchen. After that we couldn't see it in the toaster. So...we did a test run to smoke it out. Nothing. After careful inspection I finally toasted my bagel. Carefully checked it for embedded insect. Found it clean and ate it. Whew! This morning I sliced my bagel. And found another Box Elder bug on the toaster. The FP Gal was still asleep so I had to take care of it myself. Kleenex over mouth, eyes barely open and a quick paper towel latter it was gone. Seriously, if I find another one tomorrow we have to sell the house.
