According to the website, runpee.com lists movies that are currently in theaters and the best time to "run and pee" during those movies so that you don't miss anything crucial.

LOL. Kind of genius in its own right, don't ya think?

Bachelorette

I was sad to see Matthew Perry--I mean Reid go last night. He was my favorite but I could tell by Jillian's body language that he would be next on the hit list. I find myself struggling to like Ed, and maybe unfairly so since he doesn't have as much airtime as the other guys so I don't know as much about him. I can't wait for the men tell all episode next week, it's sure to be great with the "famous" Wes coming back!

Big Brother 07/12/09

The game seems to be heating up! Jessie is still annoying as ever and I'm really hoping that he gets targeted quick once his HOH reign is over. Another annoying person: Chima. Her meltdown after her team lost the the food/luxury competition was a little overkill. Yes, it sucks, but everyone knows that it's part of the game. By the way, does anyone know what slop actually is? I've heard that it is not oatmeal (even though it seems to closely resemble it).

Some faves: Kevin. He is so entertaining! Also Casey, at least I think that's his name-the 40 year old teacher by day/dj by night. LOL. He cracks me up! I still want to like Laura since she is such a BB fan, but the editing of the show is not really helping her likability.

I had a great time watching Big Brother last night with Lee, Nicole, Dylan, & Josh! It's always so much more fun watching it with other people.

Big Brother 07/09/09

I am so excited that my favorite reality show is back on!! We had a little impromptu viewing party at my house last night with Jesse and it's always a lot of fun to watch it with him. Oh, and turns out he was wrong on the mystery guest.

I was a little disappointed with the 4 mystery guest choices that Big Brother had, but I know that the people I wanted are much more famous and they might not have been willing to do it without a lot of money involved. Maybe next season they will have another celebrity edition with all our old faves. Anyway, Jessie is the celebritiy that is back in for now and he is so annoying. Luckily I don't think his ego will allow him to stay in the house for very long although he does have immunity this week. My early fave is Laura. Which is odd because I usually do not root for her type, but I really liked her video on the Big Brother website. It's obvious that she is an actual fan like myself and I hope she pulls it off in the end. Time will tell...

Quote of the day

Here's your quote of the day:

By Warren Buffet regarding our economy and the stimulus package (from the article on abc.com)

"Our first stimulus bill ... was sort of like taking half a tablet of Viagra and having also a bunch of candy mixed in ... as if everybody was putting in enough for their own constituents," he said. "It doesn't have really quite the wall that might have been anticipated there."

Big Brother

Tonight is the night I've been waiting for all year! I love Big Brother and it premieres tonight!! This season they have a special houseguest that CBS has promised will be a face that we will recognize. I'm hoping that it is a former houseguest like Will, Evel Dick, or Janelle. The big reveal is tonight and Jesse says he already knows who it is so I am avoiding him. Jesse and I have this weird-almost psychic-connection and if look at him for even half a second, I'm sure I will know who the mysterious houseguest is too and I want it to be a surprise.

another laundry post

Here's another laundry issue since we are on the subject. Last fall, my husband and I decided it was time to get a new washer and dryer since I was having so many problems with our old set. We went and looked and finally settled on a front loader pair. I have been SO HAPPY with them! For starters, our old top loading washing machine used 55 gallons of water per load. Our new one uses 15 gallons per load (plus I can fit way more in the new one: 16 pairs of jeans in the new one compared to 5 pairs of jeans in the old one) so we are talking about huge environmental impact plus way less time spent doing the laundry (which makes me happy).

Second, our electric bill this month compared to our electric bill last year at this same time is over $90.00 cheaper! I know it's probably not all because of our new energy efficient purchase but a huge part of it is.

I would highly recommend anyone to think about upgrading to the new ones. Help the environment, save some of your time, win-win! The brand we went with was LG and the reason we chose them is because they were the only ones that shot the water in between the clothes as it cycled instead of dumping the water directly on top of the clothes. The washer also has a built in generator to create its own power. Oh, and also the washer can steam which comes in very handy to sanitize my sheets so that all allergens are killed.

I know this is a lot about a washer and dryer, but it is worth this long post, trust me!!

Laundry

I have got to give a shout-out to Shout Color Catcher Wipes. Those things are miraculous! I can do my whites with my colors (even red) and throw one of those things in and I NEVER have colors that run!! They come in a box similar to dryer sheets and are found next to the dryer sheets and shout stain remover. I must put a disclaimer on here that I am in no way sponsored by Shout and therefore have no obligations to give them any publicity. I just really LOVE their product. (However, if any Shout people are reading this and you want to send me free color catcher sheets, I would not object.)

Enough already!

Why is our media still obsessed with the death of Michael Jackson? Sure, it was very sad and tragic. But just let his family grieve in peace. Give 'em their privacy. I'm so tired of hearing about the drugs scandal, who is the biological mother of his children, is Michael the biological father of his children, oh no-he cut his dad out of the will---WHO CARES? Not me! There are much more pressing stories that need to be covered and topics that should be brought to light. Did everyone forget about our troops and that war they are fighting on our behalf? Why don't our soldiers get this much media attention? They are much bigger heroes than Michael Jackson! When will the circus (that is and always has been his life) finally end?

new security

I got this one on my email. A man in Mexico was tired of thugs breaking into his shop so he came up with this idea...
