isn't it about..... time?

seriously, you can't watch it all,
but you have to see how she looks...

glad she's gone, but man, she looks good!

and if you missed it, go watch it still...

they're in DC!!!

save perhaps jillian's fake psychology sessions...

things that make me shimmy...

yes! bout freakin time...

[not pictured: all the long sleeves and sweaters i just retrieved from my mom's.

1 candy corn
(try the carmel ones...even betta)

my first nephew:

thanks, for the reasons to smile today.

i needed them.

what is wrong with me?!

what happened to the day that i couldn't wait to show off my hilarious costume
and show up at some party and dance in the dark with other creepy people?

i don't know.

but halloween just makes me wish i had kids.

because, for some odd reason, we are in a
"lack of halloweenie mood" funk,

i am giving my husband a gift this year.

scary movies.
at the cabin.
(wish me luck)

[the only day a year that this will ever happen]

i used to care about this random, in-between holiday
that takes over the stores like it owns the place,
even if it was a hint of care.

costume's of fun meg past:

(i'm sure a series of princesses and fairies...)
cruela deville
elvis
grapes
spartan cheerleader
michael jackson
mary poppins
sarah palin*

new problem:

have to be something at work.
no ideas,
and even worse,
no motivation to be in the "dress up" spirit!

what is wrong with me?!

ps. if you have ideas,
or pictures/proof that fun meg once existed,
i want em.



*[word of the wise:
if you live in DC during election time,
do NOT be sarah palin and look and sound just like her.
you will get nearly shot in georgetown.]

BL recap - Conspiracy Theory

biggest loser these days...

has to be rigged.

we are convinced.

there is no way on God's green earth why Tracy
should be allowed to live on that show still!

no way...

they were told what to do... they signed a disclosure document.
the show is rigged.

and thus my faith has decreased momentarily.

nonetheless,
I am routing for all of them.

i have favorites, but I really like this group

...except Tracy...

miss you already...

this weekend i was in utah.

i played with these chicas while my sister-in-law
[sort of] patiently waits for baby parker to kindly step out of her body...

and we got to see jace play some hardcore soccer...

fotos by meg

then we heard cam's first recording.
she will most likely be a rock star....

Listen to Cameron's latest recording:

nusafed?

[we were rolling, she is so good...]


miss you already!
thanks for letting me stay and play

deep thoughts by jack handy's niece

i am a woman.

but i have a bone to pick with my species:

i have been drinking more water lately,
which lands me in the little meg's room more often,
which leaves me with women in a public place to "do their thing."

this brings me to my question:

ladies, "don't we all pee?"

why do we insist on having noise in the restroom before we do so?
(you totally sit there and wait for the sink or a flush...don't even pretend you don't...)

are you afraid that someone will hear you making that revolting noise??

or worse?
what if they hear a "plop" sound?

you are dead meat you disgusting creature.

better hurry out before they see who it was that dared to move a bowel in public!

you know it's true.

you will find yourself in a restroom tomorrow silently reaching for the toilet paper...

highlights

dear blog,
i wanted to repent for being neglectful....

here are some weekly highlights:


· had a meltdown because of my suspicious recent weight gain
and my inability to make it stop last week,
then listened to a talk on saturday morning that reminded me not to care.
and i cried:

"He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God’s love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

· spent the night playing house and watchin the niece so another one could come.
i like playing mom.

· baby Chantelle Lorraine Moffat was born at 5:11 on 10.5.2009.
7 pounds, 9 ounces of adorable joy.


· yesterday i was listening to my talk radio podcasts on my phone,
cause i have culture,
and heard that obamanation won himself a nobel "piece"
for "capturing the world's attention" and "inspiring hope"
where is michael jackson's piece then?
ironically, i just lost hope in the nobel peace prize...
11 days? you gave the man 11 days to be in office
before nominating the man for changing the world?!
...don't get me started...

· my coworker who never does anything for anyone else,
helped a student at 5:05.... (after his shift!).
he declared, "today will go down in history!"
a breakthrough that makes me smile.

· after not feeling so awesome for the past few days,
and coming home a groggy hot mess everyday,
i got into the car after work yesterday,
rolled the windows down,
blasted some tunes,
and sang along.
smiling the whole way.
a surge of happiness for no reason except that God loves me.

· then we played with some cute friends
long overdue!
ate good food,
laughed a lot,
and went home with smiles on our faces.

today?

today i have 2 years of homework to do...
and i have about 100 blogs left to read...
and groceries to purchase....
and a gym i should visit...
a baby i need to play with...
and a husband to spend ample time with slash go make breakfast for like now...


so far, i'm O for 6.

BL play by play- episode 2.

cause all 15 had to lose 150 in week 2.

tracy-
dramaface.
i don't care if she was in the hospital for a week

coach mo-
i like yo style

shay-
you one big A girl with a huge mouth....

julio-
go home already, you fatty.

liz & danny-
these two might be my favorite team so far.
i like that she reminds me of my mom and that he is just so much fun to watch

abby-
widow. if she wins i will shed tears of joy.
either way, i hope she loses 80 lbs and looks hot!

rebecca-
she's going to be hot.

abby-
11 poulds?!!!
see what i'm talkin about...

rudy-
he's legit.
i think the 14lb-loser in week 2
will last.

julio...
cheater. parasites aren't allowed.
19 lbs! whatever.

shay-
ok,she's growing on me.
i like the 16 pounds.


ok some of my favorites so far:
abby (der)
danny (the cute salt-n-pepper haired dad)
coach mo (the motivator)
dan (der. he's still kickin in round 2)
liz. (old ladies rock)

not sure i love:
tracy. she bugs.
shay. still deciding.
sean. kind of a girl.


either way, i think this season is going to make me oh so happy.
i am loving the twists so far.

tune in so you have a clue what i'm talkin about...
and then tell me what you think...

wickedly pink

i have visited the theater a bit lately....

and i feel revived.

(jeff mclean, our friend, is a fabulous warner)

(husband liked it. good sign....)

and now i have a small wish to be on stage again.

alas.
i enjoy my current state so much more that i bear the tinge of theatre-y emptiness.


wicked tour- get em.worth it.
legally blonde? its online. watch the whole thing.
(the girls are not worth the trip, but the boys are!)

tv talk - BL and glee part 2...

welcome.

this is tv talk,
so lets talk:

who got a whiff of glee round 2 this week?

anyone, anyone...
oh- the 2 in the back...

no it's ok, i didn't mind most of the singing either.
the black chick's was awesome,
"i bust your windows out your car"
with cheerio back-ups.
awesometown.

but the rest?
no, not so much.
not as funny as it should be, to be real frank.

really you would rather watch the main guy sing
or the cheer coach say anything...
am i right, am i right, or am i right?
seriously.


but did we get to see Biggest Loser yet?

if not, that is your homework this weekend,
go to your mom's where she has it taped on her vhs
and love on fat people.

[coach mo, danny, and liz may be my favs so far...]

tears.
the stories are good this time.
and bob and jill: no mercy.
so it makes it fun to watch.

it will be an inspiring season
and we will be wrappin it up here on tv talk as we go...

why?
cause i can't keep my mouth shut.


what'd you think?


oh, and don't even get me started on the office....
i died after the intro alone.

set your dvrs for real this time

one of the most inspiring spots on television

enjoy.

twilight zone memorial moment

for the past month,

and my husband and co-workers could vouch,

EVERYTIME i check the time randomly,

it is 9:11.

i didn't know whether to be freaked out by it or not.

last night, when it happened as usual,

and i exclaimed,

"OMG, what is going on here!"

i remembered that today is the day.

maybe i was getting a reminder.

i was supposed to stop and think of the room full

of scared teenagers in a high school english class

or the scared look on my teacher's face

when she cancelled class and stared

maybe i was supossed to remember that day that i went home

and it hit me that thousands of people were now without families.

and i felt guilty for being safe.

i am grateful to be where i am, to live where i live,

and to have the freedom we do.

i hope that the worst is over.

[and i can't believe it took 8 years

to make this day a holiday...]
