Awkward

I think...well I don't think...I now know...the people I work with forget to give me my cake/card today. We take turns bringing it in (whoever had the last birthday brings it in for the next person) then we gather around and eat it. Now I know the guy who brought mine did bring it because I heard him telling someone he put it in the freezer...but he (along with other people) just left for the day.

I don't really care about the cake...I didn't want to eat it anyway...but I think it is kind of rude!

Would you say something if you were me? I think I am going to wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Awkward.

It's my birthday and I'll do nothing if I want to

Today I am officially no longer in my early twenties, correct me if I am wrong but I think 24 falls under the category of mid-twenties. Yes, today is my birthday...and I am at work. After work I will be going home, cooking dinner for myself, watching TV and hanging out with Hanna. Maybe do some laundry. Probably not. All in all a normal day.

K will be at class, my parents are seeing my brother in a play, my sister is in Boston and none of my close friends live close enough to do something.

It may seem like am upset about this, but I am not...K bought me flowers last night, I saw a bunch of my friends last weekend and celebrated, tomorrow night I am seeing my brother's play for the second time, K is taking me shopping for my present on Saturday then we will probably go to dinner or something, then I am celebrating my birthday more with my family (and Father's Day) on Sunday.

So really my birthday is getting extended to way more then one day!

With all of the birthday-ness, I am going to attempt to sick to Atkins, I did excellent last week and was down about 6 pounds, then I slacked off over the weekend and am working to get back down to my low at then end of last week. I know I can't be perfect over the weekend but I like to at least try...I also will have to have a small slice of cake at work today since it was brought in for my birthday and I can't be rude!

Over too soon

So where do I start with the season finale of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey"? To be honest the beginning was a whole lot of blah, blah, blah...an attack dog, Dina quiting work, Ashley gets a car, tours of the marble palace that is Chateau Juicy...blah blah blah. Boring. And given that it was a season finale I was pretty surprised at the lack of wrapping up the story lines.

Perhaps it was because the only real story line of this show was glorious, glorious drama...and big bubies.

Then came the dinner party, where Juicy Joe attempted to eat oysters. Why didn't we see more of him this season? Big mistake Bravo, he needed to be a central character.

The moment we were all waiting for occurred when Danielle walked into party (late.) The tension was palpable, even thought I was only watching it on TV probably a year after it was filmed.

Everything was going smoothly as Teresa shared the effect that the new bubies have had on her marriage. Then Danielle whipped out THE BOOK. All I have to say is WTF. Sorry if I offend anyone, but WTF basically sums it up. I actually thought pretty well of Danielle when she talked to her daughters about it in their house, but then she had to start something. Not necessary.

You do not get to "speak you piece" at someones family dinner party. Good for T for getting her kids out, but none of the kids should have seen that crap. I love that Caroline laid down the law. I love Caroline, and Dina for that matter.

I don't see why it matters who "revealed" THE BOOK...Danielle, you are on a TV show...someone was going to find out about THE BOOK. Move on. I don't know if you all caught this but during the cat fight Danielle said "I want clearance on this" when talking about how she needed to know "the truth"...for real...clearance? She wanted to get it on sale? What an idiot.

Jacqueline's input was boring. That wasn't the time to grow a backbone, try standing up to your daughter first. Ok, that was mean, she is sweet and I like her. I just really didn't see what her input added to the situation. Her husband did a good job calming things down though. Good job Chris.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more insane. Teresa flipped the table and had to be restrained by Juicy Joe and Dina. That was awesome. I think I would have done the same thing if it was my dinner party getting ruined. I love Teresa too.

Oh heck, I love them all...except Danielle.

I couldn't believe it was over.

Let me just say this...

working with all guys+going to happy hour with them=trouble.


Especially on a Tuesday.


I am attempting to stay awake to watch the Season finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey tonight/lamenting how short this season was!

Don't forget to ask me some questions or give me some blog topic ideas here!

Bad Blogger, Bad!

I feel like I have been a bad blogger over the past week or so...I had a lot of ideas for post...then I slacked off and now I don't know if I should use those same ideas or just move on. My feeling is, if I couldn't get motivated to post about them originally moving on is the best option.

Because I am feeling kind of lazy I am going to turn it around to you all:

Are there any topics you think I should address?

Do you have any questions for me?


Anything goes here folks...I will take whatever you give me and expand it into some new posts. I am counting on you to pull me out of this mini-slump...no pressure.

What's on TV in the Summer?

At first glance...not much. However I have found upon closer inspection there are actually tons of random and addicting shows created just for the summer.

Here is the rundown of what I have been...and what I will be...watching this summer:

Mondays---"Greek" (which is almost over sadly) so I think I will be checking out "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," which is taking over the same time slot. The I watch "Jon and Kate Plus 8."

Tuesdays---"Tori and Dean, Home Sweet Hollywood" and "Real Housewives" (which I think I will be replacing with "NYC Prep")

Wednesday---"Top Chef Masters"

Thursdays---I needed something for Thursday so I am checking out "16 and Pregnant" on MTV tonight, I like "True Life," and I think it looks like that kind of.


So what are you all watching this summer? I am open to suggestions of things I can watch or DVR!

UPDATED: Just wanted to make sure you knew I am by no means replacing R.H...there just isn't going to be a season on right after the Real Housewives of NJ finale...which sadly has come too soon. Don't worry housewives...I will never abandon you!

Show Me the Bubies

First of all, believe it or not I have never been to Atlantic City, even though I live only a few hours away. The Water Club looked awesome, I would love to go with the "Real Housewives of New Jersey", my bubies are big too so I think I would fit in...well except for the whole being really rich part. This show is raising and interesting point...does everyone in NJ say bubies?

I thought it was super cute how Caroline's family all worked out together, they are really close and you can totally tell just from watching the show. She definitely is my favorite.

When Jacqueline was first talking to Ashley about her grades I was impressed, I thought maybe Ashley was becoming less of a brat...then came the photo shoot. I can not believe how rude she was to her mom, when her mom paid for her to have a photo shoot. There is no way she should have a new car.

Dina's daughter and her cat, Grandma Wrinkle, are both really funny. Who names a cat Grandma? And dresses her up in clothes? A cat wearing clothes is one of the funniest things on the planet....especially weird hairless ones.

Over in Crazy Town, it was Danielle's birthday...how old was she turning...20, 40, 60? The world may never know. To celebrate she broke up with her "boy toy"...in a diner, with much Ed Hardy apparel present. It was the quintessential New Jersey breakup. She told her daughters about it, in a very interesting conversation surrounded by many tiny dogs (how many does she have, I couldn't tell if there were 1 or 3?) I know I am not a parent but I think it is obvious that with kids, actions speak louder then words so don't tell your girls to save the "goodies" for their husbands when you talk about sneaking into the bathroom on a date while being filmed for a TV show.

Teresa was totally the star of this episode. The getting ready for the pool scene was hilarious, Caroline is so right, Teresa is like a Barbie. A tiny, tan, Italian Barbie...with a very small forehead. I agree, she does need some bubies...and a pole in the bedroom...why not? Good for her, and Juicy Joe (who finally said "fuhgetaboutit," which was awesome.) I was surprised in the end T actually got the bubies...I was expecting her not to go through with it. But, in all seriousness...more power to her. I am all for plastic surgery if it makes you feel better about yourself and you know where to draw the line...we don't need anymore Danielle's running around.

All in all, this week wasn't super exciting...but next week looks insane.
