One of my favorite shows would be Big Brother. I did watch the first million seasons but I have caught the last two and I have not been impressed to far with this season. 

I guess I'm not a regular poster. There are times when I feel I have tons to say but never can i seem to find a way to put it into real words. Working at a helpdesk gives me pleanty of stories to talke about. Even the three kids tend to have drama and excitement about them. They themselves are like a telenovella just wating to air. But why can't I seem to find constant topics. I'm thinking of picking just certain days to just write about certain topics but it seems so forced. I'll try to think of something and find a way to make it witty and clever. You know laughable material.

Saturday we were out and decided to eat out. We went to Ruby Tuesdays. I don't recall if I have eaten there before but I'm not so sure I'll be visiting them anytime soon. It wasn't a huge deal that we were told it would be 20 minute wait. I've waited a lot longer for a seat at a restaurant, but there were many seats available and we were second to next in line. So I'm thinking WTF.

We sat for 10 minutes waiting for a server. They all passed us by. I was starting to think we were in a "no wait" zone and was about to leave. We finally get service and put in an order to an appetizer to share with 2 of our 3 kids. The older kid was smart he was out with friends. I believe we ordered a sampler and it was great. It did take a while to come out. I had time to play two rounds of Deal or No Deal on the iPhone. 

Once the main meal came I think we had already sent our drinks back twice. My flat Sprite and my husband flat Coke. Even after sending it back it still was flat. Now the food was great. Very delicious. However while the food was luke warm the plates were blazing hot. They were way too hot to touch and not just the adult plates but  our kid's plates as well. That really pissed me off. I was ok with my hands burning but when my kids are crying cause they burned their fingers just trying to eat...not kosher. 

There was even a part of the meal where we could hear the people at the next table talk to the manager. Apparently the two ladies got their meal but the gentleman at the table's meal was wrong. They took it back but he never got a new meal. The server offered to get a new one but he told them the ladies had long since finished their mail and he just wanted to leave. The manager ended up giving him a gift card for a free meal. At least I know I wasn't the only one with a bad experience. 

Happy 4th to all Americans. "Today we celebrate out Independence Day". I totally love that movie with Will Smith. 

When did I become old? My oldest just went to his 8th grade dance last night and while I don't feel old at 3x, I can't believe High School is next. I still remember my High School days.

I didn't attend a traditional school. It was an all girl school. Apparently the oldest all girl public school in the United States. Whoopee,it didn't feel so special to me. Not only didn't I get the pine for the boy that sat three rows ahead on the left but that place was an estrogen-fest of purses, shoes and hair. 

I was an average student with average grades, so should I have higher aspirations for my son? Should I stress A's and B's when I use to brings in more C's than A's and B's combined? Things were so much simpler when he was in diapers.

I am a lover of all things Spanish. I love the culture, the people and the language. Someone could yell at you and call you and your mother all sorts of things in spanish and you could sit there and say "that's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard." My main goal in life, besides raise my kids to eventually leave the nest, would be to be fluent in Spanish. 

I love a man in uniform. I remember shortly after I got married I had recruiters come to our home to try and get my husband to enlist. My dream was to be an Army Wife. Well actually, I wanted to be an Air Force Wife, but a military uniform looks great no matter the division to me. Of course just a few months later September 11th happened and I was so glad that my husband hadn't enlisted like I was pushing because I'm sure he would have gone oversees and it would have killed me.

But there have been husbands and wives who have enlisted and have fought oversees. Some of them have not returned. My heart goes out to those who have lost family members that have chosen to serve our country. They were brave and should be remembered and thanked.  Today we honor them. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY.

So I was reminded yesterday that I do, indeed, watch reality shows. I love the Amazing Race. I don't see that as people doing stupid things. That show is about teamwork and being exposed to new cultures. I love that. To compare that to it's stupid counterpart. MTV's Road Rules or Real World/Road Rules Challenges. I don't like drama. Well, ones that aren't scripted. 

Hell's Kitchen is my favorite. I hate when Gordon Ramsay yells but I love food so I watch. I know it's a huge contradiction from what I said above but at the end of the day I love it. Maybe I'm a sucker for a man with an accent. Plus the fact that he cooks, fine by me.

Hired, I think, is the most responsible show on MTV right now. I do watch Teen Mom and 16 an Pregnant but not to see the train wrecks that they try to portray. I do see that MTV is trying to bring in the viewers to let them see the hardships of being a teen age parent and I think they are trying to help but most of their shows are immature and I think they lost their way as a music channel. Hired is a great mature show. These kids coming up in the world today needs to know how to be adults and live in the adult world. After the Spring Break parties and and Real World Moments young adults need to know how to be responsible and get a job. The what to do's and what not to do's is great. MTV gives me hope with this show.

I just checked out one of my favorite tv websites today: Futon Critic. They have all the info on what shows are canceled or being picked up. For a tv-a-holic like myself, I know what I'm watching and when. Well, I just found out 6 shows I watch have been canceled. I knew Dollhouse (Fox) and Miami Medical (CBS) was done but the Deep End, Flash Forward, the Forgotten (ABC) and Mercy (NBC) totally took me by surprise.

Whatever happened to the shows that made it, at least, past 6 eps. You get all set to watch a show and find it's been replaced by Got To Dance, Arranged Marriage and Dating in the Dark. Have we lost good quality shows with actual actors in favor to reality tv.The CW is even doing a show called Shedding for the Wedding. WTF.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I like watching tv, you know the shows, the ones with paid actors giving me entertainment. I'm over attention-seeking fame whores doing stupid stuff and embarrassing their family for money. If I wanted that I'd see a Jim Carrey Movie.
