Do any of you watch The Tudors?
Addicted!
Every Sunday night Pup and I are "it's 20 minutes to Tudors babe"!
"10 minutes to Tudors"!
Even with TiVo, we usually watch The Tudors in real time.
Holy hot thighs, this show is sexy on the run. Ruthless people, crazy fashion, overindulged spoiled royals, dark castle halls with acres of walls to get pushed up against. Hand me a cold drink please.
This young guy is the most chilling and ruthless right now. Don't let those baby blues lull you into thinking otherwise.
If you enjoy sex and lusty behavior, please get your arse over to Showtime and watch.
Hooooya!
Bodies
I find this incredibly interesting.
Why, indeed, is it palatable to observe all kinds of manufactured cleavage, but not cleavage like this?
Breasts move people. At least they used to.
Small ones, medium ones, big ones. They jiggle, they bounce, they are delicious!
We have been spoon-fed the hard and large surgeon-enhanced canyon-cleavaged breasts to the point where everyone believes that is how women look. That boobs spring directly out of chests poking and prodding their way ala Heidi Montag into our line of vision. Intrusive nipples and all.
Where did it all go so wrong? When was it decided that the only acceptable body type is a boy-hipped girl with 32DDDs?
Think of all the beautiful women from years gone by.
Goldie Hawn
Rachel Welch
Elizabeth Taylor
Lauren Hutton
Jill Clayburgh
Cybill Shepherd
Marilyn Monroe
Sophia Loren
Twiggy
Different shapes, beautiful woman. A type for everyone's liking. A cover for every pot.
Why do we want to limit ourselves to one acceptable body type?

Observation
Have you noticed all the acronyms in advertising lately?
LBL
ED
UTI
IBS
Millions more yes?
LBL - light bladder leakage. Hmm . . . can the word "light" ever be in the same sentence as "bladder leakage"? I don't think so.
ED - erectile dysfunction. Let's be clear; who's feelings are we trying to not hurt? Shouldn't we really be figuring out why the wiener isn't working?
UTI - urinary tract infection. Oh, let's just not go there - ever.
IBS - irritable bowel syndrome. What does this mean really? Why are anyone's bowels in a bad mood? Can't they just drink vodka?
Every time I turn around (in my princess finery - I spin!) I'm unwillingly listening to a commercial talking about some set of letters I never knew described a "syndrome."
One of my newest peeves is the RLS. Really? Restless legs are now a syndrome?
How about these I am coining?
IIG - irritated in general. Is there a pill for this?
CLIM - can't look in mirror. I am skeered what I'll see first thing in the morning. I know I need a pill for this.
BFH - bastard from hell. The guy on the freeway that refuses to let me merge into traffic. There really should be a treatment for this condition.
Tell me your favorite acronyms! Let's start a revolution!
Aaaaaah!
There has been a death.
Yes, the coffeepot I have loved for these six years has shit a brick, bought the farm, broke a big nose (wth??), died.
Oh the sadness! It burgled and gurgled it's last breath RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BREW! I was ready to hop in Ruby with my Minnesota Twins sleep pants, Crocs, and raccoon eyes to get me some Caribou when I discovered that if I slugged the pot on the right while holding it on the left it would gurgle a bit of coffee into the carafe. OH GOD! THE INHUMANITY!
So, off I go, cheerily, (ha!) to Macy's to find me a new Braun. What?? There are no more Brauns??? Not so many white coffee makers? Finding a white coffeepot is like finding a virgin in college (boys and girls peeps - equal opportunity offender here).
I poke around the Macy's Marketplace area and after only spotting pots I DO NOT WANT (really? Black and Decker?? Do I want to saw my coffee in the morning??) (stainless?? really? Another flippin' thing to keep fingerprint-free??) I head on over to JC Penney's where the sales people are few and the layout is confusing (sing that to the tune of America the Beautiful).
I spy a lone, white, coffeepot that doesn't cost $149 (why would I want my coffeepot to vacuum the living room??) nor does it cost $19.99 (pure gristle!). It doesn't promise to do things I don't want it to do and it's white. It brews coffee.
Aaaaah, the coffeepot relief. The promise of coffee delight. Because everyone knows I have to have some caffeine relief in the morning. You do not want to witness anything different.

Pup and I are doing a mini-makeover in our living room as well. Here's a little sneak peek! I'm excited!

The Things I See
Do you see this the same way I'm seeing it?Or am I just a straw short of a McDonalds' franchise?
And why does my thumb look like it just got out of prison?
Overheard
Well, maybe not so much overheard as actually said to me while trying to browse in a furniture store.Vee got new pisses every Friday. You no see something? Vee got new pisses Friday. Vat you looking? I haf whole {incredibly ugly} set in back. You order. This leather vera nice. Touch this.
A word to the unwise. Leave me the hella alone! Grr and arg!
I told you I was looking. Does my handbag look big enough to stuff a robin’s egg blue sofa into it? Why would I WANT a robin’s egg blue sofa? Hmm? Why would ANYONE?? Could this be why there are no customers here?
Arrrrrrg!
Is anything more annoying than the store owner following you around BUGGING you. Does this WORK as a sales method? Sheesh! Where’s my vodka?
Hot Men Friday
Luke BryanI don't even know what to say about this one. I just may be tripping over the line to the dark side.
I blame it on lack of sleep.
I do like shiny things. :)
