More Potty Horrors, Thanksgiving, and some TV chatter
Potty training is not a fun task. It requires immeasurable patience, which I don't have. I suppose this is just one more way parenting makes you a better person. On Saturday Ainsley pooped in the potty. Yea! No, wait, not yea...now every time someone enters the bathroom Ainsley wants to sit on the toilet, take her two squares of TP, stuff them in the toilet and flush. Then she washes her hands. (It's best not to discourage cleanliness in small children.)
Unless you are a parent, I'm about to bring you earthshattering news. Pull-ups, those diapers that act like undies, they cost more than diapers. I had no idea that any accessory for my child could cost more than diapers, but I was shocked to find they cost more. UGh!
Thanksgiving this year will be thrilling. It's my first turkey, but after a little breakdown, Cheyenne assures me he'll be cooking the turkey. Hmm...we'll see how that goes. Thankfully, Tiff's making a second turkey, which I've begun referring to as the "back up turkey." I'll be doing the homemade potatoes, jello salad (it's not a party without jello), apple pie, and something else, but I can't think of it at the moment. ;)
I wish you all a Happy Turkey Day and hope none of you burn your houses down with your ovens or possibly by deep frying a turkey.
Here's a little clip from The West Wing. The president is going to pardon a second turkey to save it from being eaten. Silly fun.
Click to viewChuck: This show keeps getting better and better, just like Major Casey. If I didn't love Chuck Bartowski so much, I might only be watching because Adam Baldwin knows how to deliver a punchline. The one liners from this ep didn't disappoint.
Chuck: Is anything sacred to you people?
Casey: The right to bear arms.
That was Jayne with brains all the way! Also, I love when he hands Chuck the rose and Chuck asks if there is some sort of tracking device in it. Casey's reply? "No, it's to get you laid." Mwahaha! And I know a lot of you secret Sarah/Casey shippers were sad to hear him tell her he's no interested. I, on the other hand, laughed hysterically.
Also, I really loved Morgan and Anna. It's sweet and silly and absurd. Better than the two of them was Lester trying to catch Sarah. I love the Buy More Sales Staff! Endless laughs.
Now, I've never been more upset to see someone dead come back to life. Bryce should have stayed dead. Really, maybe Casey will shoot him again. "Didn't I kill him?"
Bones: Am I the only person irritated with Brennan's dad? Anybody that plays their children off one another, no matter what his intentions, is not cool. Also, my husband explained that a person with CF has a rough life, but they can live pretty healthy so all that stuff with her niece seemed a little far fetched.
The thought occured to me last night that I really like Boothe because he is a religious character that isn't seen as a quack. His beliefs make are an important part of his makeup. I feel like a lot of characters on tv that are faithful are mocked and seen as weirdos, but Boothe is just right, even if he is catholic.
House: I'm sad to see Big Love fired. I really enjoyed the Mormon jokes week after week. As usual though, I really enjoyed House's snotty remarks to the patient and to Cuddy. I'm missing Chase and Cameron though, and Foreman is hardly on the show. House is definitely softening, two seasons ago he would have opened up the test results and told her if Thirteen had Huntington's. Here's hoping they don't try to do a romantic thing with her and House.
