seeker

dear richard cypher,


otherwise or better known as the seeker, you know, i really do love your show, the legend of the seeker. at first, when the hubs started watching it, i was like "oh geez, another low budget, set in the middle ages, leather wearing, bountiful cleavage bearing tv show...." and it totally is all those things, but for some reason, it doesn't seem as cheesy as other shows of it's kind. i find myself really drawn to the characters and the storylines, i really do want you to defeat darken rahl and end up with kahlan.

there are so many things that are awesome about you and the show, example:






you have a very sweet boyish charm












you have a kick a** wizard friend, who throws frickin' fire balls from his hands!








you have the sword of truth, that only the true seeker can wield it's power and it glows when you grasp it, thereby alerting all those around you ( including your enemies, don't know if that was the best idea... ) that you are the seeker.










you have a crazy hot and incredibly muscled body that happens to look even better in tie up leather pants.















you have a total bosom bearing, dagger wielding, bad a** confessor as your sidekick












you can withstand torture from a lady in a red leather, dominatrix outfit.

(remember, if things go too far, the safe word is "strawberry")








you have alluded or escaped from the evil aladdin villian, darken rahl, so many times, i'm starting to think he doesn't really want to stop or kill you.




you know, demos brought up a very good point, as much as darken rahl doesn't seem to want to kill you, you don't seem terrbily interested in killing him either.....maybe you two should end the feud, agree to be friends and have a weekly poker game! just sayin'......




looking forward to season 2 this fall,

a special day

dear dad,


happy d-day! i know, it is really tomorrow, but i thought i would write to you today. as you know, today celebrates the landing in normandy in world war II on june 6, 1944. it's because of you i will always, always know this date. it's also because of you that i will be spending the whole day tomorrow watching war movies.

i remember as a kid that you never spent much time watching tv or movies, maybe because there were so many of us kids, you figured it was a lost cause to try to watch something you wanted. but once a year, on d-day, you put your foot down and commandeered the television for a full day of your favorite war heroes.

you were gone a lot when i was a kid, busy with work, the scouts and church, i never really saw much of you. so each june 6 i would take advantage of you being in one spot and i would cozy up with you and watch. and thus began our tradition. i really cherished that time. and as we will once again be on different ends of the country, me in the west, you in the east, i will be thinking of you as i watch our favorites this weekend.








the great escape. one of the best, longest and saddest of our movies.











the longest day. you can never go wrong with john wayne.














tora! tora! tora! an excellent story of the attack of pearl harbor.

a side note, the hubs took me to this on one of our first dates. knew then he could definitely be the guy for me.










operation petticoat. this is a funny movie, they can't all be violent, gorey and filled with heart ache. plus, i love me some cary grant.







anyways, it is because of you that i have such pride and respect for the brave soldiers who stormed normandy beach that day. and i appreciate you instilling that in me.



hope you enjoy yours as much as i will enjoy mine,

i give up

dear kate's ex-fiance (adam miller),


okay, you win. i wasn't going to get involved in the whole "jon and kate" debacle, i really wasn't. i was going to steer clear of this one. well, that was until i read about your "exclusive" interview with star magazine.

first off, let me say, i am sure you are thinking you are super awesome because you were interviewed by star, but i got news for you, it was exclusive because no one else cares!! you are just some loser that is hoping to strike while the iron is hot and gain some notoriety and quick cash.

anyways, you claim that you are not surprised by kate's behavior because she was "always chasing money" and that she wanted you to " be her sugar daddy". k, lets start with the sugar daddy thing.......eww, never, and i mean never, say that again, it's totally creepy when you say it.

you, quote "spoiled Kate with gifts, like a diamond bracelet and a gold locket...." wait, i am gonna stop you right there, if you are anything like my boyfriend at 17, i can guarantee that you gave her a glass or zirconia bracelet and a gold painted locket. i highly doubt you were giving her real gold and diamond presents much less anything from Tiffanys, so we can safely assume that she wasn't using you to get fine jewelry.

oh wait! shh! here is my favorite part of the article:.....miller not only gave her the finest in gifts, but cuisine as well: “We’d eat mostly hamburgers, fries, cheetos. A typical night out was at Ruby Tuesday’s!”

i must admit, i had no idea that hamburgers, cheetos and ruby tuesdays were considered fine cuisine......i have been dining on fine cuisine all these years and i had no effing idea! how awesome is that?

so between your fake, cheap gifts, your "connoisseurship" of fine food, and your lameness in harboring ill feelings from a relationship 16 years ago; we are only left with one question: why in the world did she end up not marrying you? the world may never know......



i am not defending kate, but i am certainly making fun of you!



p.s. i am sooo second hand embarrassed for you!

all in the name of losing weight....

dear valentine,


was their strategy back then to make food so disgusting that people lose weight because they're not able to eat it? i think it must have been.....


is this the meal..... or what keeps you in the bathroom for an hour after you’ve eaten the meal? what part of this is melon? what type of melon? any melon that looks like this is a melon i don’t think i want to eat....


egads.... what kind of liquid is in that bowl?! i think you’re supposed to let the dish water drain, not save it for supplementing your salads....and the most important question: why are the ceramic animals drawn to this mysterious liquid? am i to understand that if i make this salad all the ceramic figurines in my house will join me for dinner? (not that i own any ceramic animal figurines.... of course i don’t)


ah yes, how refreshing!!! just sit back and let the clumpy tomato gel slide chunkily down your throat.


have you ever seen a more appealing plate of greasy meat? i don’t think the pineapple will agree that this is “spectacular”


this is what i serve for dinner when i invite over people that i hate. hey valentine, wanna come to dinner tomorrow?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! that's all i have to say about this

league of extraordinary ladies

dear kathie,


if only my high school JROTC Colonel could see me now, (that's right....demos and i were both JROTC nerds in h.s.....whaz up? where all my JROTC ho's at? holla!) wait,where was i? that's right, telling you how my Col. would be proud.....and i think he would be. i believe he always felt that demos and myself would go on to do something extraordinary and awesome:



and as you can see, we totally did! thank you kathie for gifting me with the "extraordinary and awesome" award. you are such an incredible blog friend, this means a lot to both demos and myself. your blog is definitely extraordinary, you find the most amazing deals, the coolest stuff, and fantastic crafts! everyone should totally check out your site!



this one didn't really come with any rules, so i am going to pass this award onto my 6 new blog friends:

1. imogen at sneak a peek

2. cheryl at the coolest mom on the block

3. Rocksee at the porch swing

4. chrissy at a lil' dash of diva

5. becca at isn't this fun!?

6. teri at the mighty m family


you guys are all awesome and a treat for that awesomeness- a haiku of course!


an award to me
i'm extraordinary
i am awesome too


isn't it awesome to be extraordinarily awesome?

twilight is the champion!

dear mtv,

yeah, i watched your movie awards last night, i wasn't going to, because let's be honest, it's not really something that i am really into. that is, until i heard that rob, kristen and taylor would be revealing a trailer for new moon. um, hi, of course i will sit through 3 hours just to watch a 1:48 clip! fetch yeah!

so i sat through the red carpet, i don't have mtv, but x17 streamed it online, and let me tell you, the interviewer was an absolute d*ck! he totally sounded like ned ryerson from groundhog day! and he didn't recognize ashley greene and kept calling kellan, kellum! i mean sheesh dude! it's only your job to know who celebrities are and to ask intelligent questions....and you fail on both accounts.


they are absolutely adorable! srsly, why aren't these 2 together?


kristen also was on the red carpet, but didn't really stop, at least not to talk to the d*uche that i was forced to listen to, totally don't blame her!



i thought she looked really great, and while i admire her for going with something other than heels, i am not digging the chucks....


here is taylor, looking totally cute and adorable in all his 17 year old glory.





anyways, the show finally started and it was surprisingly better than i anticipated,
andy samberg hosted and did a really funny skit spoofing slumdog millionaire, twilight, the reader and star trek. must admit, loved the twilight part the best, but i may be a bit biased


and here is rob, winning best breakout male. he looks absolutely swoon worthy!!


rob, kristen and taylor to introduce to trailer!!!! *squeal with delight*



poor kristen! she not only drops her award, but also jumps to get out of the way and kinda shrieks! but she came back to finish and proudly declares " i was just about as awkward as you thought i was gonna be"

oh kristen, yes you were, but i like you a little better now because of it.


and finally, the best movie award goes to:

that's right, twilight!! holla!! slumdog millionaire can totally suck it!!

there were a few slow, awkward, boring and just uncomfortable moments (yeah, i'm looking at you keifer sutherland....) but overall i really enjoyed it and i am glad that i stayed up frickin ridiculously late for it!


we all are champions, because we saw the new moon trailer,


p.s. sorry if this letter is a little rough, a) it's really late and b) i wasn't gonna do a post about the awards, but after watching it, changed my mind.

p.p.s.- sound off! how did ya'll like rob, kristen and crew, the new moon trailer or the award show in general?
