I am not a reality TV junkie, but I do endulge in certain shows every once in a while. I have watched Survivor and American Idol, but those aren't the ones I choose if given a choice. I prefer the ones with some character and substance - oh, sorry, I forgot I was referring to reality tv. I used to watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 until well, it just got bad, and then I've always been a little intrigued by The Girls Next Door! Now, as a spin off, there is Kendra, which is not my favorite ex-girlfriend, but still I find myself attracted to the show. I have also been catching some episodes of Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood - and yes, I've watched the two previous seasons as well!
So, last night, they were both on at the same time!!! I guess I've never realized it because I usually am passed out at the time its on - 10pm or I've watched one or the other about halfway through. Last night I stayed up the whole time and was flipping back and forth at commercials!! I think I have a problem! I mean, seriously, all I have to do is wait until this weekend and I could catch a gazillion reruns of each to catch up without missing valuable sleep!
I can't really think of any other reality shows that I like to watch - correction, that I'm sucked into! That's all it is...another way to suck precious hours of your life right out of you. I would say its a guilty pleasure, but in all honesty, its just shameful but I won't stop - they've got me now!!!!

Slim Pickins
Superhero Blue
Superhero Red
Superhero Stars/Cape
Superhero Dots/5
Pease take time to vote on the poll in the side bar of the following superhero invitations! I have decided to go with a general Superhero Theme. I might order them or make my own by using these as inspiration. I have also found some very neat superhero games to play and I thought I could let the kids dress up as their favorite superhero! I'm getting very excited and its still months away!
It only took 14 years....
To train the Hubby (with my superb planning skills)! So, I'm wearing off on him. Better late than never I guess.
Hubby and I work for the same employer, and our email server is a lot like Microsoft Outlook and has the calendar, tasks, etc that can be shared between anyone on the server. Music to my ears this morning when he came home and told me he set up a share calendar for us to use!!! This sure beats digging into his breifcase for his planner (that isn't always filled in) and adding things to it, finding out when he's off work, has training, etc, and sending lengthy emails about all upcoming events he must attend!!!
I thought he might have been ill and even checked him for a fever - but no - he just decided that things are getting busier and busier so we needed something a little more structured that we could both check, add to, change, etc and it will automatically share with the other person! Really, a man after my own, a-typical and anal retentive heart! Love you!
Side note - this is in addition the the desk calendar, wall calendar, planner, personal outlook calendar, and not to mention all the saved dates in my head I already use! I might have a problem!

Too Early? I think Not!
To start planning Little Hauss's 4th birthday party! You know me.....love to plan!
Really, all I want to get set is the date! We are already running into issues due to the fact that his actual birthday is on Labor Day! The reasonable thing to do is bump it to another weekend....before or after?
Well, I'm still a little selfish in the fact that my birthday will be falling before his and its a big one - 30 (on a Thursday no less, but you always want to leave the weekend open for possibilities of celebrating for days on end)!!! Plus, not everyone is off on Fridays (like me) so recovering from said celebrations might be difficult for those that have to work, so the best option is to have his birthday partay on the following weekend! Also, you want to ensure that everyone is in town and not still on vacays!
Now we come to the theme. He's been a little over the top about Spiderman for about a year, but lately, we've been going back and forth on other super heros and now Transformers.....hmmm? I know the logical thing would be to ask what he wants, but he's 3! He doesn't know, nor will he know if he still wants the same thing come September! Also, if you bring up the subject NOW, you risk living through torture for the next 8 weeks....trust me! I am toying with the idea of just a generic super hero party?
I do not love themey themes. That sounds ridiculous I know! I love a partial theme - like an overall theme, but not to be too matchy matchy! I just don't want ALL that goes with a said theme! I don't mind a cute invitation, maybe a napkin or cake, but I would rather fill in the rest with solid colors. Besides the fact that it is just too much of a headache looking at all of the matchy stuff, it can't be reused! At least with leftover solid plates, cups, etc....you can reuse for other occassions!
So, now, what's a girl to do??

Do you need another reason?
To see "The Proposal"? Ok, so it really was a good chick flick and belly laughing funny at times, but this is really the best reason to see the movie:
And, yes, you get to see all of that!!!

Amped up Smores
I just read a fellow blogger post on this not too long ago and thought, hmmmm, I bet that is a great treat! Well, I finally got to see what all the hpye was about last night.
Hubby and I hung out with some friends - very low key, just some kabobs and cocktails on the porch. Dessert was supposed to be smores and I'm such a fan! Really, how can you go wrong with those wonderful flavors all meshed together in one messy sandwich! I wasn't sure it could get much better, but it did! It was sooooooooooo tasty with a reese's peanut butter cup instead of the regular hershey's bar! Oh my goodness. It was heaven! I'm pretty sure I'll never go back. The hershey seems so plain jane!
I'm still craving them....good thing we don't have any of the ingredients!!! I'd be in lots of trouble!
