Thursday Thoughts

Today is Thursday and it’s time to link up with Jen at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom…

I framed NF’s first painting last night.  I love it!

Big Brother started last night and I wasn’t intending on watching it… but since it was on when The American Baking Competition usually is on – I watched it.  Annddd that’s all I need is one episode and I’m hooked.

My early favorite is Rachel’s sister, Elissa.  Rachel is from one of the only other seasons I’ve seen.  I watched that season while I was pregnant.

That’s Rachel, Elissa’s sister.  The most entertaining person on big brother ever (at least that I know of).  And they look A LOT alike.

LAST night, after big brother, was The American Baking Competition… my newest favorite summer time show (I hope they have another season!!!).  My three favorite contestants right now… (yeah I have three)…

Elaine Francisco, James Reddick, and Francine Bryson.  I would be happy if any of these three won the competition.  Ah even Darlene Pawlukowsky winning would make me happy.  So the show’s down to  5 people and I just realized that I’d be happy with anyone winning except Brian Emmett.  Sorry Brian if you’re reading this (the contestants have been finding my blog).

Last night James Reddick made a chocolate souffle in the technical bake challenge.  The recipe for it is here.  He had never made one before and he won the challenge… I was SO happy for him!  He would have been star baker if he hadn’t totally screwed up the show stopper.  You can find all the recipes that CBS.com puts up here.

On the Bachelorette this week… Ben was sent home.  Bye bye Ben!

Anyone read the Real Housewives blogs?  The comments are BRUTAL!  I read the blogs sometimes and then think about commenting… then I read some of the comments and I think whoaaaaaaaaa… don’t really wanna jump into that cyber cat fight!  Why are they so harsh and crazy?!  People are wayyyy to into Teresa’s drama.

Thursday Thoughts…

I bought this necklace for my Niece’s 11th birthday.  I have a celtic necklace I wear sometimes and she said she wanted one.  The celitc knot is charm size, but it being tiny makes it delicate and sweet.  The etsy shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pinksweetpeas – she makes nice handmade jewelery at incredibly affordable prices.  This necklace was $12 with $3 dollars shipping.

This Week’s Reality TV Villian Awards…

The Bronze Medal goes too…

Joe Giudice!!  He makes the list for calling Milania’s Aunt Melissa “Horsey Face” on the phone before meeting her for a play date.  Not nice Juicy Joe!

The Silver Medal goes too…

Brian Emmett!!!  From the American Baking Competition.  He sort of cheated by making two batches of cookies – when the rules were to present what you made.  They were kind of not clear about that… but the show needs some suspense.  I guess he just makes Silver.

 The GOLD medal goes too…

BEN SCOTT!!!  From the Bachelorette.  Ben did bring his son to the first episode to meet Desiree and he was adorable (the boy, not Ben).  If I was that boy’s mom my head would have exploded.  I don’t really understand Ben’s relationship with the mom, he says they’re best friends…   Anyway, that’s not why he won the Villian award.  He won it when he ALREADY had a rose – and was cutting guys off like a creep.  Something about this guy gives me chills… I do not trust him and it seems like Desiree really likes him.
