Despicable me?

I took my daughter to see this movie......... I wasn't sure what I was in for but overall this was a cute movie. Of course we can find something wrong with everything but for the most part it was a good movie to see. It had an unrivaled villain character and his whole life was focused around doing the most appalling things to  people, the world and his rival...Victor. The movie also has 3 little heroines. The 3 little girls lived in a HOME For GIRLS BUT they are VERY strong and self sufficient. They long to be adopted and wish for the PERFECT mom and dad to whisk them away from it all. What they get is Gru (Steve Carrell) a selfish villain who is ONLY focused on his evil plots. The little girls end up softening his heart and he gets all caught up in fatherhood. It was refreshing to see a moving that was pro-adoption for those kids out there in foster care or who have been adopted.  It had some aspects that were not so adoption friendly...like a box of shame at the HOME for Girls. But, in the end the girls got what they NEEDED....someone to love them fully. Overall it was a very different twist on villains verses the good guys. It was truly a unique movie.

Housewives of New Jersey..OOOOPS they did it again!!!!!

Watching the drama between the New Jersey housewives is just as necessary as your cup of coffee, expresso or whatever in the morning. Though Monday's episode was mild compared to those of yester days it did have some profound moments. Jacqueline took Ashley to get her court papers from the post office. I wonder though......I know I'm not a rocket scientist BUT how did she get a certified letter from the courts when the post office was closed....... it was night time? Am I missing something or what. I know all court/certified letters don't need a signature but.... she MUST have a P.O. Box or something. Maybe Jaqueline's mansion has NO room in the mailbox for her daughter's mail I just don't know...maybe I'm the ONLY one with this question.


Ashley was laughing and Jacqueline managed to keep her GAME face on. She did not break out in any giggles about the situation as Ashley made jokes about Danielle suing her for pulling her hair. Again, I say...as batty as they say Danielle is she STILL deserved an IMMEDIATE apology, meaning that DAY, right after it happened.
Ashley ......respect YOUR elders!!!!!! That lesson should have been taught at home many moons ago. We will see as the season winds down if she ever FULLY RIGHTS her WRONGS!!!!!!

New Jersey Housewives/10nth Anniversary

The Real Housewives of New Jersey - Videos - Anniversary Equals Diamonds Bravo TV Official Site





Joe and Teresa's 10nth Anniversay! Congrats!
Teresa talks with Jacqueline as their husbands talk seperately about Anniversary gifts and such.
Teresa truly loves her husband and he is definately, most positively head over heels for her.....
But there is a little part of me that wonders........
I mean, with all of the "Forclosure " talk and stuff would Teresa REALLY stand by her man if they had to take it down a few notches(economically I mean).
I know, according to her he is doing VERY, VERY well in ALL of his business ventures and he is an endless cash source for her lavish lifestyle BUT would Teresa be as giddy and FULL of leopard print smiles and big tiara giggles if she had to put an end to her EXCESSIVE lifestyle to save her family or simply to save her husband from going under.
Really, would Teresa be as happy with Joe and her four Healthy and Beautiful daughters if they had to live in a smaller house or even a house that had many previous owners?

In the above episode it is sooooo clear that dear old Joe would do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING in his power to make Teresa happy. I am not sure if that's GOOD or bad because only they know their CURRENT financial state. My heart ached for him for several reasons though..............

My Fair Wedding.......Hmmmmm

O.k. Mr. David Tutera last night(Sunday) on We TV you took on a very unique challenge. Your bride Brooke wanted a Pirate wedding! What the #$%&!!!!! I have never heard of such thing BUT EVERYBODY is different.

Well...Mr. Tutera I could do a better job than what you did. Why O Why. Didn't you just STOP dear Brooke!!! I mean really......

Ok.....No, I was just KIDDING!! Mr. Tutera you are truly the Cat's MEOW!!!! I LOVE your show and how you make ALL of the girl's dreams come true!!! You take an ORDINARY theme and transform it into GRANDEUR. That is BEYOND talent. You are NOT a WEDDING PLANNER....you are a WEDDING DESIGNER!!!!!

I thought that the Pirate Theme was going to be a disaster BUT it was totally elegant.

You are WE TV 's PRINCE CHARMING!!!!!

BY the way does anyone out there want to get HITCHED so I could have a DAVID Tutera wedding.....

Just Kidding...
I'll just have to settle with watching the show and having my DREAMS come true by seeing all the brides and their lovely transformations.

I love you DAVID!!!!!

Reality Bites though ......

Diversity by way of Barbies.........

My daughter loves Barbie's....she has them in ALL shapes sizes and colors. These are her BARBIE's ABOVE.


But seeing her play with her Barbies allowed me to reflect on this DIVERSE world in which we live in.

Some people are totally against diversity.......... fighting it tooth and nail. Some are gradually wakening up to the idea...... and there are others it just doesn't effect because of where they live and what they do so they could care less......

It's OK to have your OWN views on this subject...because this makes you who you are. Weather I or anyone else agrees with your views is pointless because NO one has lived your particular life and experience all that you have.

But I do believe we ALL are sharing this world for a reason. It would be nice if we could stay safe in our COMFORT ZONE of people who look and act like us BUT how would we grow as people as individuals???? What lessons would we learn if we are constantly surrounded ourselves with CARBON Copies of ourselves for the rest of our lives........

I PERSONALLY want to keep growing as a person........

I love who I am and I am proud of that. Everyone should be proud of their culture and so forth!!! But there is room in our lives to grow from those totally DIFFERENT than ourselves........

It's OK to have frustrating views about other cultures(at times) we are HUMAN!!!! If people don't do things like us or what we view as right or wrong it could get a little annoying to us.  BUT also DON'T succumb to those views because everyone is different. Just as we have good and bad days we have good and bad thoughts and opinions. But we shouldn't HOLD on to them........ALWAYS keep our hearts and minds OPEN for NEW thoughts just as we look ahead for better days........

Keep moving and keep evolving or this world will leave you behind!!!!!!
Or choose not too....whatever works for you!!!

I totally love the arts........

This is a sketch my lovely daughter made.....
I think it's better than ANY piece of art I could ever do.

We are a family that loves the artsy stuff. My father dabbles in paintings and sketches too!

I love the Police Women of Memphis!!!!

Police Women of Memphis - PhotoGalleries - POLICE Magazine



Out of ALL of the Police women shows, the Police Women of Memphis have been the MOST down to earth group. They are just EVERYDAY women FULL of compassion trying to help their community. Sometimes the cops on these other shows can be soooooo arrogant it's annoying! But these women are soooo different. They all have different styles but one things is........ they embrace FULLY the unique and diverse population in which they serve. That speaks volumes......welll, to me a least. I can relate to these women more than any other " Police Women" show TLC has ever done. They have been yelled at, pushed and so forth BUT they still are able to put ALL that aside and SERVE and PROTECT! TLC.....forget going to another COUNTY or STATE give the police women of MEMPHIS a SECOND season....they deserve it. You GO girls!!!!!!

Can you say BOOTLEG artist?

I was just watching a cable craft show that had alot of COOL art featured. I love art. I am what you call a BOOTLEG artist. I like it, NO should I say I love to do it BUT I am simply NOT that GOOD.
Here is something I did.....
See......it's o.k.....I guess, BUT a museum wouldn't be knocking down my door for it!!!!!
Are there any ARTISTS out there.......

WHO OUT THERE LIKES TO DABBLE IN THE ARTS????

NEW JERSEY HOUSEWIVES GONE WILD........

I am NOT a total reality TV junkie BUT I enjoy watching BRAVO's .....HOUSEWIVES. Last night which was Monday night I watched the housewives of New Jersey and all of their interesting DRAMAfied happenings. There personalities are ALL UNIQUELY interesting BUT there was the incident of Danielle having her hair pulled by Jacqueline's daughter for the LAST 2 episodes. O.k. whatever MENTAL HEALTH diagnosis they want to give to each is cool. They know each other on a totally different level than us...the t.v. audience BUT I do think THAT Jaqueline's daughter Ashley was totally WRONG for putting her hands on Danielle! WHAT ABOUT RESPECTING YOUR ELDERS????? Children and young adults today feel they have the right to do anything.......
Danielle may in fact be a shipwreck waiting to happen I don't know, BUT with ALL of the name calling and so forth I can't believe that Jacqueline's daughter would do that. If it were my daughter who did it...NO matter how much I despised that person I would have DEMANDED my daughter apologize!
I would expect my daughter to stick up for me if she SEES me in harms way BUT Danielle was walking out of the event. So it was CLEAR that she was at THAT time NO threat to Ashley's mom.
I can't imagine even NOW doing something harmful to one of my mother's friends EVEN if they got on my LAST set of nerves.
Ashley's gesture to "protect " her mom is ALWAYS a blessing to have from a daughter BUT she was totally wrong to disrespect an ADULT or should I say a MORE MAture(as in age) adult than her.
THE SAGA continues NEXT Monday........KUDOS BRAVO TV!!!!!

Life is a hot mess.....

I haven't been here in a while...though it feel like I am talking to myself. I guess that's good in a way too because then I can feel free to write anything............Well, I hope not just in case.
Well...life is short. There was a passing of one of my family member's, one dear friend lost her job. So many things......but there is still hope for tomorrow.
