Lazy Sunday, such a great day!

Today was sunny. It was a perfectly heated 68 degrees. Lilly slept in...until 7:30am. My hair straightened easily and quickly. My skinny jeans fit. Aaron is alive (don't ask). My phone is fully charged. I decided that I'm oddly addicted to the song "Green Tambourine" by The Turtles (thank you Mother!). One day closer to Kendall being born! Adam and Gary safetly made it to their destination to begin their cruise. Aaron's avocados are ripe, finally. My Hamburger Helper pan is clean (LOL!). I got caught up on Real World. Lilly is walking more. I had Taco Bell for lunch...it had been awhile! Jill and Dean got engaged! It's April Fool's Day and no one played any evil pranks on me! I talked to my Dad and he's coming here tomorrow!

Shopping with the Skanks

Oh did we have an experience today. Good God. Let me first start by saying that I, in no way, think I'm better than the next person....oh wait, yes I do, but it's because of situations like today.
Picture this: My well-dressed princess of a daughter and I were shopping at Baby Gap today, when all of a sudden we became bombarded by this missing tooth, shaply lady pushing a stroller (an ugly stroller at that) with a not-so-cute little passenger. The repugnantly dressed lady and her hideously dressed toddler pushed their way in front of Lilly and I to get to the most unattractive items that Baby Gap had to offer. Oh, but that's not all. This creature of a mother had the nerve to tell ME that there were more SALE items on the other side and that Baby Gap didn't usually have many cute things for babies, but that I should try The Children's Place. WAS SHE KIDDING ME? Am I on Candid Camera? Did this lady just tell ME, the mom with the gorgeous bright-eyed stylish baby to go look at another store? No she di'ennnnnt! (Picture me snapping my fingers while saying di'ennnnt in my most practiced Shaniqua voice!) Could she not tell that my daughter was already dressed in Baby Gap gear and that I clearly knew what I was doing? Perhaps she should take a look at MY child to get a better grasp on what was acceptable for small children to be wearing. UGH! I'm use to getting judged (because I look young and lack the left-hand ring) by the soccer-mom type but this is a first for me...getting judged by the trashiest of white trash...
With this said, I stand firm in my belief that children, no matter what their God-given physical traits may be, look better when dressed well...meaning that there's still hope for the daughter of this cow-of-a-lady! Enough said...

Life's not fair, I get that, but STILL....

I know the old saying, "life's not fair"....I've heard it loud and clear however, tonight's events have gone far beyond unfair. American Idol. Yes, I'm blogging about American Idol, judge me, whatever.
I'm not going to lie when I say that I teared up when I heard the news that CHRIS was going home tonight. Seriously? No, did I just hear that correctly? CHRIS? What is WRONG with people? Tell me that watching his "journey" clips didn't make you tear up. And then hugging every contestant at the very end of his song. Seriously. Touching, touching! I sit here listening to The Police song now, wishing that I too had received a hug from the lovely Chris Sligh. Life's just NOT fair, is it Chris? Boo.
And as much as I ADORE Ryan Seacrest (and by adore I mean OBSESSIVELY dream of he and I's life together as man and wife) I found it a little disturbing that he came out in a mock Sambalaya wig. Putting all that focus on the little non-singer only gives him MORE attention. C'mon Ryan. Get your head outta your ass. Don't worry folks, I'll take it up with him when he gets home (and by home I mean in my head as I'm laying down to sleep).
Alright, until next week my fellow American Idol critics.
Hahn, OUT.

Weekly Annoyances

Rather than take out my pet peeves on the loved ones around me, I decided that perhaps it'd be best if I just wrote about them! UGH!

1) American Idol. Seriously. Sanjuicy needs to go, as does Bald Ugly Ear boy. I swear on everything holy that if this season turns out even remotely close to last season I will STOP watching it...although I'm pretty sure I swore it off after LAST year...but after seeing my boyfriends Blake and Chris I changed my mind. YUM! I KNOW that it's "up to you America" to decide who is the next American Idol, but I can't help but wonder if America is turning the votes just for dramatics. It's kinda like prom queen in high school. There's always ONE really weird girl who gets nominated. You KNOW people just did it to be funny. I however, do not find this humorous!

2) Foot prints on freshly vaccumed carpet. Yes, that's right. Another trait I've inherited from my mom. There's nothing more I hate than seeing foot prints on my carpet after I've just made perfectly straight lines with the vaccum. Seriously. I remember having to JUMP from my door to my bed when I was younger because my mom had just vaccumed. Would it be too much to ask for everyone to stay in the tiled kitchen for a couple hours so that I can enjoy the cleanliness of my carpets?

3) Rain

4) Temper Tantrums. My little angel baby just had her first REAL tantrum, I'm pretty sure. Her back arched so high I was sure her little spine was going to snap. Her face turned a bright crimson and her nails dug into my wrists. The temporary insanity that overtook her lasted only a short time, but I'll be honest. I was scared of her.

There you have it folks. Gretchens' weekly annoyance list!
