Guilty Pleasures

I have to admit that I have a really bad habit. I watch the Bachelorette/Bachelor. Seriously, the show is epic fail every time, but I just can't turn away.

I'm admitting this just so I can complain that the show seems to have found the two craziest people from Salt Lake City and put them on TV. Michelle from the last Bachelor was a complete and total nutjob. She was seriously scary.

Then this time, they've got douche-alicious Bentley, whose only goal seems to be to publicly humiliate the Bachelorette as much as humanly possible in what little time he has on TV. What a catch!!

Of course, he has definitively proven that women flock to jerks like moths to light. It's only the second episode and the Bachelorette has already begged him to stay. As in "please, please, please, please stay...please". Oh, it was so pathetic and Mr. Jerkface was just lappin' it up and making fun of her to the side camera. Obviously anyone who thinks they can find lasting love on a TV show does not have realistic expectations, but the producers should bounce this dude as he's clearly stated he has no interest in this women (except for degrading her, that is).

Bentley is a gross, sad man. So sad.

Rejeanne's Photographic Escapade

While no one was paying attention for all of 10 minutes, Rejeanne took up photography. First, she laid in Crimson's bean bag chair and figured out how to turn the camera on and take a picture:

Then, she ran out to the hallway mirror to watch herself taking pictures or maybe to try a self-portrait. Since she doesn't really talk about her motivations, we just have to guess about these:

Once she felt she had mastered the classic "self-portrait in the mirror" so popular for the youngsters on Facebook, she convinced the most beloved poriferan in her life to pose for her camera:

Better late than never, right?

What Gets Me Through

I survive winter by thinking of flowers. How I'm going to steal them from around town. How I'm going to grow my own. Thinking of this is the only way I can live through the -20 plus howling windchill. Those days are gone and the flowers have finally arrived. Not a moment too soon!

Rejeanne's Hair

I finally broke down and took Rejeanne for a haircut. She was NOT happy about it, but she does seem happy with the end result. She looks awfully cute with this short hair, but it is sad that she had to get it cut after we have been growing it for 4 years. Today was her very first haircut ever!

She hates having her hair brushed. She hates having it styled. It is super dry and super fine and gets horribly tangled and/or breaks off in the prairie wind. I think we will have a happier Rejie now.

Pics tomorrow!

What I'm Doing This Week...

In addition to the usual stuff, I'm sewing an hour a night. It's manageable!

oh my!

me (to Lee): I don't think John Paul II has been dead long enough to be beatified.

Cyrus: *hits me with a boot*

Lee: What did you say before he hit you with a boot?

Me: I don't know. I think he whacked it out of me.

Crimson (to Lee): She said something about Long John Paul the Third being christified.


(Well, guess we know what Saint JP does during Lent...sells fish out of a drive up window!)
