Stream of consciousness rambling

I haven't posted anything in a few days. Not that I haven't wanted to, or that I haven't tried. Nothing came. I sat here at least once each day and nothing. I think I was trying too hard to come up with something witty and clever to talk about. So I am giving myself permission to talk about whatever floats in my head. And if you have ever had a conversation with me, you know that this could go all over the map!

Mother's Day was nice. It was peaceful and relaxed and I didn't have to cook or clean. What more can you ask for? A beautiful corsage, apparently! It was a good day. I don't think I had to clean up any cat puke either. Now, THAT'S a gift! Not having to clean the puke is a gift. That looked like I thought the puke was a gift. Surely you know that is not what I meant?

I am picking up my tiny little daughter Rachel Pie at the airport today. Hooray! It has been a long semester away since we didn't see her at spring break. Seriously, how many college kids want to spend spring break with their parents? So I understand. But it makes her getting home now all the better!

Then we are heading up north for my nephew's graduation from college. So we will be road tripping for a few days and then back home. It should be a fun trip getting to see a bunch of family all in one shot!

Amazing Race just popped in my head from the Mother's Day paragraph! That poor Luke. I thought at the beginning they were going to win and be at the mat waiting for hours for the other two teams. But that is never the way the final is, now is it? Whoever is in the lead at the beginning never wins. I think Tammy and Victor were extremely deserving of that win. And you know, perspective is everything. The whole season I am watching them and thinking "awesome, intelligent, well educated" and that sort of adjectives to describe Tammy. And then she pipes up and says something about the skinny, awkward little Asian girl describing herself. Huh? I also loved at the end when they were carrying those damn heavy pigs and Victor kept telling her, "when you think you can't go anymore, just give me 3 more steps". To me that was way more supportive and encouraging than what Jaime was doing to poor Cara! OMG!! That Jaime never stopped! During that very last challenge when Luke helped her and she finally realized she should return the favor, that's when I saw a shift in her perception. I think it is going to be a huge eye-opening revelation when she sees what we saw. Talk about a moment for personal growth!!

This next couple of weeks is all the big season finales. I was wrong about Grey's Anatomy, the finale is this week. Oh, and this week is Lost, Biggest Loser and Survivor. Probably a lot of others, too.

The other night I clicked on HBO on demand to see what was on. and there is a series that started last year that I had never watched called In Treatment. So I went to the beginning of Season 2 and started them in order. This is a wonderful show. It's sort of like a 2 man one act play each time. I really enjoyed it. It stars Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest. What's not to love there?

Ooooh, did you see House last night? OMGGGGG!!! Wth was that?

One more t.v. comment and then I am done: DWTS, come on already! Poor Ty Murray. He just shouldn't be in the finals. I like the guy and he seems like a really honorable guy and like someone you could trust, but his hips!! I think his fans think they are doing him a solid by voting to keep him around, but come on! It just makes it all that much more apparent that it is his time to leave. He should be home dancing. With Jewel. In private.
