Weekly Happenings

Last weekend, ~24 weeks

I consume ridiculous amounts of candy. This week, I decided to go without.

Latest guilty pleasure...I know it's not even Valentine's Day yet but I love me some Cadbury eggs. Yes, they are only in (a very few) select stores. If you want to know where to find them in the Charleston area, let me know. I've got the hook-up ;) 

HA! My candy break lasted for about 6 hours. I figure with Lent right around the corner and my tradition of giving it up during that time, why deprive myself now?! So, I decided to try and simply reduce the amount I eat each day. This is going well.

Also....

The crazy ladies of the OC are back and it looks like they'll be bringing the drama this season. Yet again. The new cast member, Heather, seems tame, which I'm sure she's not. Otherwise, why have her on the show?

Did anyone catch the RHOBH reunion pt. 2? Not as boring as the first part. I have to say that Brandi Glanville entertains me. My mom told me that Camille isn't coming back next season. Eh, either way I'll still watch every week (and all of the re-runs). 

A Taste Of Home

Last night, Mark and I indulged in some Skyline 3-ways. They tasted just as good as I remember! Luckily, Mark loves all Cincinnati classics: Graeter's, Montgomery Inn, goetta (did anyone see the Man vs. Food in Cinci?!), LaRosa's, and of course Skyline.

To Mark's disappointment, I will not be dressing up for Halloween. I will, however, be wearing an orange blouse that I purchased at F21 a few weeks ago. I consider that to be a decent effort.

Count on me overindulging in the sweets department though....

I've got a bone to pick with Kim & Kyle Richards, who are being kind of nasty this season on RHOBH. I always liked Kyle, but this side of her is not pretty. She's clearly in denial of Kim's problem(s).

I will say that Brandi Glanville is just as looney as I expected. No surprises there.

I like the looks of Charleston's upcoming forecast. 70's sound just fine to me!

THE Dress

Kate Middleton's wedding dress, on display at Buckingham Palace has seen a record number of visitors- over 600,000. That's pretty remarkable.

The Middleton sisters have the best hair! I need to know their secret(s).

Did anyone catch on RHOBH last night that Lisa, "Just had lunch with the Duchess of York yesterday"?

Monday Night Highlights

I have to say that my week has not started off well. However, Bravo's Monday night line-up turned it all around (I hope?).

RHOBH newest additions:

Brandi Glanville = media whore. No doubt she will stir it up with the other ladies.

I have to admit that I've never heard of Dana Wilkey prior to the show. It seems like they were brought on for no other reason than to bring the drama. Fine with me.....

I love everything about Courtney Kerr. Her hair, wardrobe, and accessories are ridiculous.

Too Far?

Since Russell Armstrong's death, more and more details have become public about his and Taylor's relationship. Unfortunately, none of them are good. On top of a 'leaked' photo of Taylor's battered face allegedly at the hands of Russell, we've learned of several occasions where he threatened to kill her- once over not having veggies on a pizza? Just crazy. People (I'm assuming Russell's family) are accusing her of exploiting the situation for money.

Obviously, I've been following along on the new season of RHOBH and her behavior is increasingly erratic. While I certainly sympathize with the situation as a whole, I think Taylor has some pretty major issues of her own to work out. I'm interested to see their journey through counseling and trying to repair their marriage, which ultimately didn't work out.

What did you all think about the Emmy's? I was under-whelmed by the fashion, generally speaking. I thought Jane Lynch was pretty hilarious and did a great job. I don't watch a lot of the shows that won. (Hello, where were all the Bravo nominations?!). Perhaps, I need to expand my TV horizons?

RHOBH Premiere & Most Eligible Dallas

Did everyone watch the RHOBH premiere last night?

Of course, I tuned in and was interested to see how they would address the recent suicide of Taylor's soon-to-be ex-husband, Russell. Overall, I'd say that I wasn't impressed nor disappointed with the way they incorporated it. It seems that critics' opinions land on both sides of the fence; some praising the show for the way they addressed it and some panning it. I still plan on watching the show because I enjoy it and for me, it's entertaining.

After the premiere, my new fave, Most Eligible Dallas!

The love triangle between Matt, Courtney and Neill continues to evolve and it looks like next episode we will see things between the two BFF's heat up.

Can I just say how I am baffled that Matt continues to find women who put up with his antics? If I showed up to a date and there were two other women there I would be G.O.N.E.! Common sense, right?

Apparently, he dated Audrina Patridge and Vienna Girardi for a hot minute....

Someone loves him a reality TV "starlet".

Done And Done

Not a great start to the weekend for JLo and Taylor Armstrong. Both have announced their respective decisions to divorce today.

Obviously one is a much larger celebrity than the other, but I feel that both were oddly mismatched.

I have a feeling Taylor and Camille will be going boy-crazy on the upcoming season of RHOBH!
