Today is a lazy day. Hump day, almost the weekend. Not too much to report today. So it'll just be one of those random posts.
Am I the only one who thinks Heidi Montag, I'm sorry Heidi Pratt is out of her ever loving mind!! What sane rational 23 year old has 10 plastic surgeries at one time? Including having 2 cantaloupes put in her chest and then wants them bigger. And then tells a news reporter that she is telling girls that beauty comes from within!!
Her and her flesh colored beard (Thanks Joel McHale) husband creep me the heck out! I know it is all an act. It has to be. No one can be that annoying and lack common sense. Please tell me it is all an act. That somewhere someone, Ashton, is going to jump out and say "You've all just been punked!!"
I broke my glasses AGAIN!! And because our vision cards haven't come in yet, I super glued them back AGAIN. I really need to get to WalMart or somewhere and get me a new pair. Along with my contacts. You should see how bad they look. Worse than the nerd with tape around the nose piece. I spilt some of the super glue on the lens so I have little glue drops in my line of sight.
But without them I am blind as a bat.
I had to sign my oldest daughter for tutoring. I'm going to try out Kaplan online tutoring. Maybe it will help her with math and reading. Both her weakest subjects. Has anyone tried them before? If so what did you think?
Tomorrow I'm going to cut my hair, probably short. Above my shoulders. It is about midway down my back right now. I just hope that the hair dresser doesn't do that , "Are you sure you want to go that short" speech. It is my hair, I am paying you, so get to cutting. It's not like I asked you to buzz cut me. Just start snipping.
I had my oxygen delivered to me yesterday. We now have this steel tank of oxygen in the living room for me to refill my portable mini tank with. It looks like one of those cryogenic tanks too. And when I fill my mini, it scares the crap out of the cat and dogs.
Lucky for me I only have to use the mini when I am winded or going to be doing alot of walking. And then I have one to use while I sleep. I need to buy an O2 saturation monitor, so I can keep an eye on my oxygen stats.

Toddlers and Tiaras
Has anyone watched this show on TLC? It is about the pageant world for little girls and boys. I happened to catch a partial episode last night. There was nothing on after NCSI and the Mentalist, so I started channel surfing and saw this little gem.
First off, I don't have a problem with pageants per say, but this show was just creepy. Or maybe it was just this episode. There is just something not quite right about shoving a pair of fake teeth in a kids mouth so they have a perfect smile. Or spray tanning your five year old so she doesn't look pasty white for the swimsuit competition.
They had this one little girl. She was 10 years old and her mom and coach (yes, they have pageant coaches) put her in a white strapless dress and high heels. It looked like a wedding dress seriously. She had about 6 inches of make-up on and her hair was teased to the heavens. Then it got even creepier... her dad or was it her uncle.. It was some male figure in her life said this , "She just looks gorgeous up there. I know she looks way older than she should, but she looks gorgeous." Shiver.... She is 10! 10 years old and looked like she was 18!
I kept screaming at the TV "She's only 10! She's just a baby!" My dear husband looked up for just a moment from his laptop and swore there was no way she was only 10. Then he caught the interview with said child saying how pretty she felt with everyone looking at her and saw her age listed. He joined me in saying "She's only 10!"
The above little girl went on to win in every category and first place for her age group. Her exit interview she said, "I feel beautiful when I win first place." Sad, sad.
A mom of a little girl who lost said, "She's just going to have to try harder next time." Like this was a math test or a basketball game they lost.
It does make me sad to see girls place so much emphasis on their outside appearance. And we wonder why women and girls still struggle with body image.
Yes, I could save myself all sorts of angst if I would just stop watching shows like this, but there is just something about reality TV that sucks you in. You want to look away, flip the channel, but you can't. You remain glued to it. Appalled that there really are people like that.
In the end, one little girl had the best outlook and the most wisdom on it all. She said she wanted to win, but she wanted the others to win more. She didn't want anyone to feel bad about themselves.
That little girl made the entire episode for me.
