Threadless

I couldn't resist last week.

Introducing the Don't Care Bears (I think of these bear more as the Care Bears but they care in the opposite way)



And Fake Panda. They had this shirt that I voted on awhile ago that I loved it was a polar bear and a black bear holding a baby panda bears hand in the middle. However, it never was made into a shirt. I still desperately want one.

PLU 4045

Why this is the best time of year (although I'm sure I say this every year) Cherries!



And I'm currently in love with hot yoga. I'm going today and I'm pretty sure I'm going Friday too. So awesome.

Why this show is ridiculous

And by show I don't mean this blog, but at times I'm sure I'm ridiculous. I mean the show "The Secret Life of the American Teenager". 

Okay, I'll fess up to it, I liked the show when it began but somewhere in the middle of last season my bs meter started going off. This show at times is rather unbelievable and maybe it's how teenagers are these days but I was never like these teenagers. Please let me know if I am/was delusional about this.

 The sad part (from my point of view) is that Isaac still watches the show, faithfully. I say this not as a jab to Isaac but because watching this show currently makes me want to poke my eye out with a sharp stick. Okay, maybe that's slightly over exaggerating it, at the very least I devolve to making snide comments loudly to the tv. And Isaac asking me politely to stop or find something else to do (I go find something else to do). I'm glad Isaac doesn't take me doing this personally and I'm glad he still likes the show. 

Two recent examples I have are these:

Example 1: Jack finally tells Madison he loves her and she assumes he has a gift to give her because he has said this. She then breaks into a monologue about it citing that she needs a gift for evidence. You know, because she needs to have something to show her friends to prove this moment. I don't know anyone who was this kind of teenager, please let me know if you know one it would help me make sense of this.

Example 2: Adrienne leaving her cell phone at home when she runs away and her father uses it to call all her friends to see if they know where she's at. EVERY TIME he calls one of her friends they have no idea who is calling them and it has to be set up in the dialog who is who. It then gets worse, even though he has told ALL OF THEM that she left her cell phone at home and he is calling them on it THEY ALL CALL HER CELL PHONE. It is then set up in the dialog that they were calling Adrienne's cell phone to see if they could find out where she was at and everyone has to reintroduce themselves again to each other because again, everyone is confused as to who is on the other end of the line. Either this girl doesn't have anyone stored in her phone book or everyone is illiterate. I think the latter would make a lot of sense for this show. Seriously!?!? I had to leave at this point (obviously) it was too big a break from reality for me.

I originally was interested in and watched this show because Molly Ringwald is in it and I was really excited to see her in something again after all these years. No more my friends, no more.

Don't forget the fakelaki

So lots to talk about. I've been promising myself to update this but every time I sit down I either have to get up to do something else or I suddenly find everything going on boring.

The most current: I got a new phone thanks to my fab-o husband. It's the new T-Mobile my touch slide. I have in the past year or two really gotten into white. My winter coats are white, and so is my cell phone. I used to be afraid of white but I have realized that I guess I'm not the klutz I used to be and I do some how have the ability to keep white white. Now that I say this everything white I wear will get ruined. Just you watch.


Isaac had his last interview on Friday for a chef instructor position at South Seattle Community College and fingers crossed we'll find out next Monday. We were supposed to know yesterday but two days is not enough time to ask for references, get them back, review them and make a decision. We've been waiting long enough to know that next Monday isn't that far away. That said, I still really want to know.
We also entertained one of Isaac's chefs from the CIA and his wife on the Monday after the 4th of July. He recently left the CIA to work for Campbell's soup company as one of their senior R&D people and he not only offered to write but he wrote Isaac a letter of recommendation for the job he's up for and he was also talking about getting Isaac a job with Campbell's in the next few years. So we'll see but it would be really cool if that happened.

Besides that we went to Longview for the 4th and it was really nice to see Susie, Lee and Grandma. Okay, back to work now.
