Wordless Wednesday: Winter
As we all know that little rat in PA saw his shadow so now we have 6 more weeks of winter. Enjoy this Wordless Wednesday post while we wait out the 6 more weeks of winter!
Is anyone even out there?
I know a few people read this everyday, or every other day. If “K”, “S”, and “H” are the only ones reading it, is it still worth me spending time keeping it up? I truly read all of your blogs at night to see what has been going on in your lives. Even if I do not call or write I still miss you guys. I am just lazy and I am a huge procrastinator when it comes to personal stuff.
I am just having a bad night. 2 rants in a row. I better stop now while I am ahead…
I need a lemon berry slush. Anyone else? I’m buying.
What is your opinion?
“What is your opinion?”
I hate when people ask me this question. Wait. Let me rephrase. I hate it when certain people ask me this question. Or certain groups of people.
It is like asking someone, “How are you doing?” You do not really want to know the answer. It is just something you say. 99% of people are going to say “I am good.” or “Great!” no matter how they really are doing. I say good, or fine to answer that question most of the time even if I am having one of the worst days ever.
These kind of questions are not meant to be answered honestly the majority of the time. People want to hear that you are fine. And they want you to agree with their opinion. They really are not worried about how you really are or how you feel about the situation. You can tell the people who care and the people who do not. You know who wants to know how you really are doing. You know who wants your honest opinion.
Do you want to know if I have an opinion and what is it? Well hell yes I have an opinion. But my question for you is, “Do you really want to hear it?” Yeah, that’s what I thought!
The Moment of Truth
So I was sitting in my hotel room and there was nothing on T.V. I went to rent something from a Red Box but it was empty of anything good. So I came back and started searching for something to watch.
I got to a show called ‘The Moment of Truth’. The idea of the show is that the player has to answer questions honestly. So before the show the person is strapped to a lie detector and asked hundreds of questions. Then with their family and friends present they have to answer the questions. Tonight there was a woman on who was answering question after question honestly. She had nothing to hide. (Remember, her family and husband were on stage watching.) Even when the questions got to be things like “have you had sex with anyone else besides your husband since you have been married?”, and when they had her Ex-boyfriend come on stage and ask her, “do you think that I am the one you should be married to?”. To make the whole show she answered 17 questions honestly, just to loose all of her money with one “non-honest” answer. The question was “Do you think that you are a good person?” WHAT??? She answers honestly to everything else and then tries to say that she thinks she is a good person!?!
I must object to this show. Is America so desperate to see someone else so miserable that anything goes? Now I understand that these people choose to go on the show, and they make their own life choices, but this show can ruin lives. Having said all of this I am definitely watching this show again next week. I am as addicted to this crap as anyone else. But do not think you will ever see me on that show. I have too many skeletons in my closet.

Obscene Material in the Mall? Or People out of Control?
OK, so maybe I am completely in the wrong here but I am putting it out there for all of you to tell me what you think.
The picture that is below was hanging in a mall in Virginia Beach. (It is the same mall that I took Adam to on a weekly basis when we lived there for 2 years. We played and rode the carousel. We had lunch and shopped with the little boys who I was a nanny for)
It was hanging in the window of the Abercrombie and Fitch store. People had a fit and called the police in to have the picture taken down. The store was given a ticket for “obscene material” hanging in the window of a store where minors shop. SERIOUSLY??? I think it is absurd that people threw such a fit. I have 4 kids. We go to the mall. When I showed my kids each individually this picture and asked them what they thought, they each said in their own words that it looked like 4 friends getting ready to go swimming. Not even one of them freaked out about the “small area of butt” that can be seen. Not even one of them noticed it. For goodness sakes people! I see more skin then that at Dimple Dell Rec center in Sandy, Utah every time we go swimming.
Maybe I am wrong and this is a “bad” picture, but I do not think so. Let me know what you think…
