Reality Shows

I'm a little short on time today but here goes....Okay.... so I'm sure that many of you are going to roll your eyes at this one... but I have to admit... I'm a big reality show junkie!!!! Why you ask??? Not sure! But I seem to find myself strangely drawn to many of them. Now give me a break... I'm also a huge fan of Hannity & Colmes and the O'Reilly Factor. But you will at least be glad to know that this year (which is the first year) I have been able to stay away from Big Brother.... but I have in the past watched that one religiously!!! What brings this up is of course... American Idol was on last night. And I have to say that I usually pick the winner right away... this year... I'm just not sure. For me.. there is just not one person that really stands out for me. They are all actually very good... just not seeing a star in any of them. I of course, like Brooke White, David Archuleta (although he's almost too nicey nice), David Cook and Carly Smithson!! Carly is a good singer plus I just like her name... if my husband would have let me have another child I wanted a girl and would have probably named her Carly!!! But we know that's not gonna happen now!!!
Anyway, I've added a Poison song to my playlist....why .... well because in case you didn't already know Bret Michaels (as many of your washed up celebrities) has his own reality show... Rock of Love 2 (and yes... there was a Rock of Love 1... where he almost found love). Anyway... I think I find myself watching this show just out of plain curiosity as to why on earth people actually choose to put themselves in these crazy situations... I mean really ... like Bret Michaels is really going to fall in love with ONE person and remain faithful to them... I highly doubt it! Plus, it's just plain fun to watch how some people act... I wonder are they really completely messed up in the head or are they just looking for their 15 min. of fame. I would say for most of them it's both!!! Which brings me to The Girls Next Door.... yes.... I on occasion watch that as well.... now really I don't spend all my time in front of the TV... but once the kids go to bed... sometimes I just want to sit and get lost in complete "unreality". The Girls Next Door... well... I just can't figure that one out either. Holly...who is the main girlfriend... I kind of understand... and at least she is like 36-37 years old... and she is getting a good job out of the whole deal. But then there's that Kendra (who just turned 21 in one of the episodes)... now what's she thinking... I mean do you really think that she is having sex with Heff.... I mean he's older than her grandparents.... anyway, it's all a mystery to me. And I think that sometimes I just watch because I keep thinking that the more I watch that maybe I'll get it all figured out... but honestly, I doubt that will ever happen... I think they are all crazy!!!!

Anyway, enjoy the Poison song... cause really if the 80's mean anything to you at all... you love a good "hair band"!!!!

Also, just for fun... here is a picture of my niece Illyssa and my nephew Ricky who were here over Easter weekend for a visit. They live in Kansas City and try to make it for a visit every few months. We really appreciate seeing them... and I can't believe how old they are.... wow....guess that means I'm really getting old!!!!


BEST THING ABOUT YESTERDAY: Brock got up out of his bed last night and came downstairs, crawled up on my lap (as I'm watching Rock of Love!!!) and in that extra sweet voice he uses when he is trying to melt my heart ... or get away with something he's not suppose to do... he says to me "mommy, I want to cuddle with you and could you sing me a lullaby".... man... now how can you send him back to bed after that!!!!! So we cuddled and sang!!!! I love it when he is being sweet!!!
