Sunday BBQ

After a lazy Sunday morning and afternoon N and B start preparing the BBQ. I watched D in his pool doing swim aerobics in what seemed to be 300 degree weather. I know I was only out there a short time but it seemed like forever.

D was showing me all his super cool swim tricks. Here he is showing me the front crawl thingy.

This is what he called a twist. I called it a triple sow-cow but he didn't know what I was talking about.

Young people....

I'm standing on the upper deck looking down at the pool if you were wondering how I got these pictures. I mean, it could have been on your mind...

Here D is showing me another cool swimming thing.

This is his 'Grand Finale'. He was right. It was Grand and it was the Finale because B and N were done preparing the best BBQ steaks and potatoes ever.

Nummy....

Plus, we had this raspberry cream crumb cake - Holy Weight Watchers Points Batman!.

Jolie Holland Concert

After some nummy sushi we headed over to the Varsity Theatre and waited in line for Jolie Holland. Luckily, we made it there just in time to get in front of the line.
Our tickets said the show started at 8:00 but the doors didn't open until 8:00 and people were still arriving at 9:00. The show didn't even start until 9:30.

Sean Hayes opened and his name surely suited him. He was in a 'hayes' of something alright. He sounded great though and I will be looking into more of his music even if he admitted he was a Virgo...

Jolie came out and wowed us with her beautiful voice. Although she sounded great the chick is whacked out on something or she is just that ditzy. If she is that disorganized without 'enhancements' I fear for her..

Unfortunately, she had to stop the concert and point out some rude people talking near the stage. What was worse is the people that were talking were standing right next to us on the platform we were sitting on. They were horribly rude and wouldn't stop being obnoxious and loud. Eventually, even after Jolie made the comment about them being rude, they got even louder.

I had to take some action because it's my biggest pet peeve when people are rude in public. It's so immature. Once I asked them to keep it down, they eventually finished their drinks and left. FINALLY!! Too bad there was only two songs left to enjoy without their yapping. Ahhh well. Either way the concert was great despite waiting so long for it to start and the crazy talkers.

Jolie is someone I would like to see again. I think she is a great singer.

Sushi Anyone?

Lately I have been on a sushi craze. I'm obsessed with sushi. I crave it all the time and being it's so low in points for weight watchers - I love it even more!

Prior to the Jolie Holland concert on Saturday night I brought over the ingredients for some sushi rolls and Jamwall1 and I proceeded to make sushi for the first time.
Here is the results of our tedious chopping, rolling and snacking...
I had some trouble at first with the rolling but got the hang of it. I know what to do differently next time - that is for sure.

We sat and ate sushi while we listened to Jolie Holland. It was nice. Next time we have to make a little less being we couldn't finish it all but I think Jamwall1 had some left-overs for the next day...

Movie Time...

Star Trek:The Search For Spock - Having watched Spock die in the last film I was surprised to have Spock involved in this film too but we are talking about Science Fiction right? So the whole movie was ok. It was sad that Kirk's son had to die and everything but he was a bad actor anyway. (although he had a nice butt) I still can't get over how poorly the films are made in comparison to today's movie making but I have to remember the technology available was quite different as well.

I'm such a movie snob...

So the whole "Live Long And Prosper" and "The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few - or the one" quotes finally make more sense to me. I mean, they have always made sense but I get it now.

See, if my parents would have let us watch movies as kids I wouldn't have to rent old sci-fi flicks and critique them now - instead I would have been wowed by the movie at the time and would have nothing better for me to compare it too.

...the scars of one's childhood.... (mom, I'm totally kidding - you don't need to call me)


Star Trek: The Voyage Home - OK - the chick from 7th Heaven and the dude from Back to The Future and Taxi was in this flick. It through me off completely. I mean he was the Klingon enemy and HELLO?!? - that guy can't be a mean guy!

Yes, I know these are old movies but having never seen them before and knowing what other things the actors have moved on too since is just difficult at times. It's totally my problem and I get it. It's still funny though.

I thought the whole thing about the Humpback whales was peculiar. It never explained WHY an alien probe wanted to communicate with them and what the hell were they even saying to each other? It made absolutely no sense to me and I laugh through a lot of it.

I mean, come on... HUMPBACK whales? Seriously, was this film just made to bring awareness to the plight of whales? Not that this is a bad thing of course because no one wants to bring a species of animals to extinction but it was an odd plot.

I did enjoy the crew being back in the 20th century and having to deal with our craziness of the times. My favorite part was when Spock put that neck thing on that punk rocker dude on the bus.

He reminded me of similar characters I have seen like Worf from Star Trek Next Generations, Teal'c from SG-1 or KA D'Argo from Farscape.

Good movie but weird.

Netflix movies being shipped:
Star Trek: The Final Frontier

What A Pain!

I'd love to post about my weekend with pictures but I'm unable to make the picture thingy work on blogger here at work. Oh well. I suppose you will have to suffer with whatever else I come up with.

Poor reader people...

I Didn't Go Back To Bed...

Batman Begins - Loved the flick especially since it told the story about how the whole Batman deal started. I mean, it's not like I had time as a kid to get into comic book things. Plus, knowing all about batman is something I need to know to impress my Nephew. He is gaga over him, like, times 1,000.

What was wierd was seeing Katie Holmes in the film. I mean I couldn't take anything she did seriously because all I kept seeing was Tom Cruise with devil horns next to her trying to bring us all over to the dark side of Scientology. Kinda like this...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Ok, I love Star Trek but I'm more into the Next Generation than I am into the older stuff. Even so, this movie was all that bad for being done in 1979. I laughed a lot at their graphics and special effects but it was something to keep my mind off the pain from last night. The movie was kinda slow moving for me but it was ok.

Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan - Ok, this flick wasn't too bad but I seriously couldn't get over the fact that they had the dude from fantasy island playing Khan. Granted he was probably a huge star back then and it was a great gig to be a Star Trek enemy in a film but it still was hard to watch knowing he was Mr. Fantasy Island. I kept imagining the little dude saying "D'plane boss! D'plane!!"

This movie also was kinda slow. I put some laundry in, unloaded the dishwasher and emptied out my fridge for cleaning. I mean, I was up and doing stuff most of the movie which means it's not that great of a flick. I have to admit though that when that Khan dude put those slug looking things in the officers ears - I about barfed. That was gross. Especially since I have had an ear ache for like two weeks now. All of a sudden my ears hurt worse after seeing that.

I need help.

Lately...

Last night I had to cancel a date with S because I wasn't feeling well. I still kinda feel lame but I'm getting better slowly. Tonight I am seeing Jolie Holland with Jamwall1. It should be a good time if I can feel better. Her music is very relaxing and I'm looking forward to hearing her new songs from her recent album release.

I'm exhausted. I suppose being more social lately is my culprit but I'm having a good time. At times I wish I had more energy but this weather is zapping anything I have left.

I haven't been able to rollerblade and get my training in for the 10 mile tour in August. I know I will be able to finish it just fine but if the heat doesn't start to subside I might be in trouble. I have been walking on my treadmill and walking at work indoors as much as I can to keep my legs agile.

Sometimes I wish I could run. *sigh*

I woke up too early. I need to go back to bed I think - that or start my laundry.

I'm going back to bed....

It's Too Hot!

I just finished weeding my monstrosity of a garden. It's already 82 degrees and I'm sweating my guts out. I'm nearly burnt as well. It's 9:15am and I'm nearly burnt.

There is something wrong with that statement.

Very wrong.

What's Wrong With Me??!?

Ya know, if this was the weekday I couldn't get up to save my life but because it's the weekend and I can actually sleep in for however long I want - I'm up at 7:00am with no problem.

Dear Mother Fricken Nature.

I write to you in disgust as I sweat my guts out just sitting here in a so-called air-conditioned office building. If you take a look at our weekend forecast you will see why I'm so irate but I'm sure you being 'all knowing' and all that crap - you already know what I'm talking about.

I realize that you have to 'change things up' a bit to keep everyone on their toes and maintain your 'control' over the entire planet but isn't their a way we can all just get a long? Enough is enough!

I'm not like the Arizona, California & Florida peeps you are so found of frying the crap out of. I'm a Minnesotan ok? That means I get upset when the weather fluctuates above 72 degrees and I sure as hell don't care for the thing you insist on calling humidity.

I like the cold; in fact, I welcome it! Which brings me to the topic of our winters the last few years. Have you forgotten that we expect the snow here? I mean, yes, we got snow but did it last? Were we plowing it into 8 foot high piles on the corners and cursing when we were trying to make a left hand turn into traffic?

NO. We were not, okay?!? There was nothing!

I mean, I was only allowed to make one snowman before you decided to melt the crap out of it in a few days. Being we had to endure the joke you called winter I would imagine that you would give a break and let us deal with a half way decent summer, ya know?

Am I asking for a polar shift? NO. I'm not. It's not like it's gonna kill you to give us a few cooler days so we can maybe do some exercising or gardening outside without wondering if we're gonna keel over if we don't drink a gallon or two of Gatorade.

Maybe it's possible you are in cahoots with the Gatorade people? Are you in negotiations for a contract to sell more product? I mean, I could see this being some sort of incentive on your part to keep up this monstrosity of a heat wave you are condemning us with.

100 degrees? Are you kidding me with this?

Sweating my guts off in Minnesotan hell,

Kid Jacque

YIPIIEEE!!!

Remember when I raved about this movie? Well I adored it so much that I wanted to get the soundtrack.

I believe I have waited long enough to enjoy the wonderful sounds the movie had to offer. I can't wait until it comes in the mail!!

FINALLY!!

It's true - my main man Hasselhoff is free for the taking...

Maybe we can live on a beach and have Kit be our butler while I put sun tan lotion all over his life-gaurd muscle body while he oogles abnormally large breasted woman...


NOT!

My Hair.

Well folks, this is me after the hair cut and after I got to style it. I opted to NOT straighten it and let my natural curl come out because well, it's a pain in the ass to constantly be straightening my hair.

You still can't see the cool looking red in my hair from this picture but you can see the hideous short cut bangs that my hair dresser felt it was important to torture me with.

I HATE SHORT BANGS! It's gonna take like two weeks to grow these puppies out. I'm mean, FOR REAL!? UGH!

So all my pampering is finished for a while but I seriously need contacts again. I took off my glasses for this picture but I can't see the camera. Not that it matters to you as a reader but I thought I would give you too much information.

IT'S FRIDAY PEOPLE!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!!

I wanna go home.

SPA NIGHT!

So this is what I looked like before I went in, remember?

See how damaged the ends are and how blah the color is?

Pretty icky huh?


You add a martian bowl shaped dryer thing on your head with some foils and your head magically reshapes itself...

Kinda like this!

It's like I'm Houdini or somethin' huh??!

So anyway, you can't really see the red highlights in the picture or the dark brown ones but I swear to the reality TV Gods that they are there.

Once I was done with the cut and color they trotted me off to another room where I got my very first ever pedicure.

It was everything everyone has ever bragged about but way more. I FRICKEN LOOOOVVVEEDDDD it!

Like. A LOT.

So here are my finished toes. Don't you just love the color? I totally bought the nail polish so I can do my finger nails like them.

It's like they'll be twins!

So my spa night was fabulous and I enjoyed every second of it. That is, until the bill had to be paid but I saved for the occasion. I figured that I needed a hair cut desperately and it was my treat to myself for losing 35 pounds.

The only problem I have is that I have to wait until I drop another 35 before I can go back...

Do I have any more carrots???

I NEED YOUR HELP!

Remember when I looked like this and my hair was this long? Then I got it cut and it looked all sassy and short and angled and stuff? That was in April.
I haven't had my hair cut since and you can tell from this picture that what I have right now... It ain't workin'.

As of tonight - that will change. I'm going in to get a pedicure, hair cut and a color. Although I say color - I don't mean all over color. I mean, I'm gonna get sassy bright red streaks in my hair.

Kinda like the color on this chicks hair. I kinda like the cut but not sure I would have the patience everyday to maintain such a style...

What do you think?

This style is keeping my length but giving me some much needed layers which will thin my beast of a hairdo.

Then there is the boring bob I could go for or I could go with my last hair cut but angle the cut much more and not worry about putting it in a pony-tail. That was the only reason I kept it the length I did on the last cut...

Finally, this picture is similar to what I have now but I would have to even out the back and front (since the last cut was angled) and then just have the red highlights instead of the yellow you see in the picture.

I need help people - I need someone to tell me what to do. You can't expect a chick like me to be decisive at a time like this....

HELP.

Dinner With The Birthday Boy...

To celebrate Jamwall1's birthday I took him for some sushi and sake at Origami.

(I have my hair pulled back here but as of tonight I'm getting it hacked off... )

Everything was great but my favorite thing on the menu was unavailable for dinner. I was disappointed but it wasn't the end of the world.

For dessert we headed over to Cold Stone Creamery for some ice cream. Being a good girl however, I chose the Sinless raspberry Sorbet and opted to only eat half of a like it size and take the rest home. I'm sure my two glasses of wine at dinner took any additional points I might have been able to have.

J had a great time and I'm glad he enjoyed his birthday celebration.

Bathroom Cubicle - OMGosh! I couldn't imagine coming back to work to see this....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMWALL1!!

Our friendship is very dear to me and I hope that you have a wonderful day.
You deserve it!

It's The Truth...

Last night I weighed in at my Weight Watchers meeting and lost another 2.8 pounds. This means I have lost a total of 35 pounds total with 17.8 of that weight being lost through weight watchers.

I'm proud of myself.

I have achieved something that I didn't think was possible. Not because I didn't want to do it but because I didn't believe I could. I actually didn't even want to join. I thought about it for over a year and felt as if I would be seeking a new low if I admitted I needed to pay someone to help me learn how to eat.

I mean, I grew up with a mother on Weight Watchers. At one point she lost the weight she wanted too and mainted it for years. In some crazy way, I felt as if only older people had to join Weight Watchers. As if it was a club for mom's or something.

Even though my mother had prepared our food according to weight watchers all of my young life I have always struggled with weight. Although I struggled as a kid - I didn't get fat until I left home and had to fend for myself. I chose the wrong foods. I didn't eat enough of the right foods. If I lost weight it was because I either couldn't afford to eat or I was sick and couldn't eat.

I'm hungry all the time and always have been.

After my divorce (10 years ago) I was my heaviest in my life. I was determined to do something and I did. I lost 60 pounds with diet and exercise but somewhere along the way I became ill and lost another 30 because my appetite wasn't there anymore.

Once I was better, I slowly gained the weight back. Why? Because I was complacent. I forgot that I still needed to pay attention to the food around me. I didn't and I grew to be 14 pounds shy of my heaviest weight again.

It was at this point where I knew I had to change something in my life and make it permanent. I would look in the mirror and get sick to my stomach at what I saw. Pictures were horrendous to look at and made me feel horrible. I hated myself - the way I looked and they way I felt. I wasn't who I thought I was when I looked in that mirror.

I made a commitment to exercise thinking that if I exercised like a fiend I would be able to still eat whatever it is that I wanted. So last October I started my quest to lose the weight that I had so easily put back on after my huge loss.

I rollerbladed 12-13 miles every other day and walked a few miles on a the off days for months. With my weak heart and my lack of oxygen this kind of exercise is detrimental to my health. The amount of pain I endured after the endorphins turned off was awful. I could feel my body rejecting my weight loss plan.

Once the Rollerdome season was over and I completed my half marathon (6 minutes faster than last year I might add...) I maintained my exercise by walking. This was going ok until I injured my knee at my nephews house jumping on the trampoline.

I couldn't exercise for weeks. In the first week - I gained 7 pounds back of the 23 pounds I had lost since October. In one week I ruined months of work.

I was devastated.

I had to see a physical therapist. The blately rude comments he made to me regarding my weight - stung. It hurt deeply and it made me so angry that someone felt they could talk to me in such a way just because I struggled with my weight.

It wasn't like I wasn't trying? I mean, I worked my ass off for MONTHS to get to the weight I was. Although, that didn't matter to him. In fact, it doesn't matter to anyone really. What people see is what they see. First impressions are what they are and people assume what they will even if it's hurtful or cruel.

I knew I couldn't lose weight without help any longer. I needed help - help that I KNEW was going to work because I had seen my mother and extended family members be successful at it.

I joined Weight Watchers. The place I felt so embarrassed to admit I needed to go to - so embarrassed that I didn't tell a soul I joined for the first few weeks I joined.

Not even my family.

I'm no longer embarrassed. In fact, I have never been so proud of myself. I have a problem with food and I'm not alone - over half of America has a problem with food. I'm doing something about it and that is something to be proud of.

The best part of all of this is that it's EASY. It's simple to make the right choices when I get such great results. I am doing an 1/8 of the exercise I used too and I'm STILL melting away. It's empowering and makes me feel good about my decision.

The only thing I regret is "Why didn't I join sooner?"

Remember Jesus?

Remember when Mark looked like Jesus? Well, this picture didn't even show most of the hair carnage that was going on but you kinda get the idea. His hair was nearly to his shoulders before he cut it....

Can you even believe the difference?? He looks like a different dude. Wayyy cuter too. (At least I think so... but I dig dudes with kept shorter hair.

Although he looked like a different dude it sure didn't stop him from doing different things. He is still putting his stinky smelly feet on my couch.

Oh Mark....

TV Frenzy...

Ok people - House is on tonight. Once at 8:00 and again at 9:00. Can you even stand it?

I just love this dude. His character is so sassy and smart. The entire show is just so great. I'm so glad they brought it back for the summer...

Did anyone catch Hell's Kitchen last night? Man that chef guy can spew out some swear words! I can't even imagine ever working for that guy ya know? I would totally be bawlin' like, the first time he started screaming.

Why? Who knows, I cry for the lamest things. I'm just some chick ok?

Can you even believe that woman that threw all those plates over? I mean, after all that work it took to get those plates there?

Crazy.

I am so glad they finally got rid of that prison cook dude but I would have loved to see Sarah go home instead.I can barely even watch the show I can't stand her so much. It's her voice and not to mention the fact that she takes NO responsibility for her actions and her two faced back stabbing ways. She's a loser in my book.

Despite being busier than busy lately I still have to love me some shows.

I'm not dead.

Blah, Bleh, Blahhhhh

My week ahead of me is already booked and crazy. I can’t believe how fast the summer months fill up. This Saturday night I get to see Jolie Holland at the Varsity Theater. I’m kinda excited to see the show.

Tonight is weigh-in at Weight Watchers. I don’t know if I’m gonna lose this week but I’m hopeful. I also need to go through my entire closet and try on all kinds of clothes. Nothing fits anymore.

We are having a clothing drive here at work and I wouldn’t mind making some room in my closet so I can buy some new stuff. Plus, I will help someone out that needs it. And yes L, you are getting my nice stuff – not to worry.

I’ll have to take some before and after pictures. I’m sure the difference will be noticeable. At least, I would like the difference to be noticeable so I can buy that much more clothes. Justification is needed here…

New Music

I have been listening to some new music lately and I found a new band that I really have been enjoying.  You should check out Au4 and see for yourself.

Some other music I have recently been introduced too: (Thanks to Jamwall1)

• Spiritualized
• Jolie Holland
• Death in Vegas
• Low

I think they are all worth checking out if you’re at all into music….

Loved The Dress...

So the chick didn't win but she did manage to get 4th place.

Great job, Ms. USA!

(Project Runway rocks....)

What Goes Around...

Do you ever get the feeling that karma waits until you are good and ready to relax then it KABLAMS you with something just out of left field when you least expect it? As if it knows it’s going to make the biggest impact at that very moment….

Ya.

Me too.

Ummmm....Me...

I'm still sick from last Sunday. I was hoping my ear ache was gonna subside soon but a doctors visit might be warranted after all. This irritates me - like, a lot. Maybe I will wait another few days...

It's summertime. Who gets sick in the summertime???

4 Miles And A Sunburn....

After the excitement of the tournament we decided to take a blade around the pond. Here is my younger sister N getting her gear on.

Remember - it's important to always wear safety gear when doing any kind of sport.

The trails were great but the sun was hot, hot, hot!! N managed to do an extra 2 miles around the pond while D and I rested and got some much needed fluids in our body.

This was the first major blade that I have done since my knee injury and I'm happy to report that all is well. This means that training for the 10 mile tour in the St. Paul Marathon on August 20th will begin - and HARD.

9AM???

...on a Saturday morning? What? I have to be where - when??

Originally I thought my nephew D's baseball tournament was at 8AM so really, 9AM wasn't all that bad. At least I had a bit of time to drive my butt down there. Having not gotten much sleep the night before, draggin' my lazy butt out of bed seriously sucked. However tired I was - I managed to get ready and leave 15 minutes before 9AM.

This meant the game started in 15 minutes. 15MINUTES!!! I had a good 30-40 minute drive ahead of me depending on traffic.

UGH! Let's just say my truck isn't anything like the sports cars I used to drive but I did my best.

I rolled in just as Dylan was up to bat. I grabbed my camera and even left the door hanging open. I got him just in time as he made a hit and headed to first base.


Here is the cutie butt in his catchers garb. Have you ever even seen a more cute little dude?

Ya I know - probably not.

Me either.

I'm glad we agree....

So the little dude was up to bat a few more times and did a great job.

I didn't take a picture every time because that would mean I'm an obsessed or something like that...

Turns out that the team lost their game 20 to 24. They lost to the second best team in the tournament. They made them try read hard for that win and the game was awesome to watch. They did a wonderful job despite the loss that felt so hard to swallow after all that hard work.

D's baseball season is at a close for the summer. He showed some great team spirit and had even better sportsmanship. Those are the best qualities to have when playing sports.

Kudos D!

Even though I'm your auntie and I have to love your guts to death - YOU'RE A WINNER IN MY BOOK!

BEST. MOVIE. EVER.

It was funny. It was funny as hell! It was totally worth the wait!

One movie to rule them all....

Scoocth to the NOOTCH!!!

*Stomping Around*

I’m so pissed right now I could just spit.

 

Bleh.

 

Without getting to specific, recently I found out some information regarding some dudes I know - three of them.  There is a reason I don’t trust men and the older I get and the more I date, meet and get to know people the more I want to stay alone.

 

UGH!

Cha Cha Cha Changin'......

I'm thinking again about moving this blog to another URL because I have grown tired of the Reverie Cafe schtick. I will be redesigning something super cool for the other site as well but I'm currently shopping around. I have two designers I'm curious about and I'm a little anxious to get started.

What do you think of Accordion To Me? It's a play on words... get it? I play the accordion....

I also thought about Accordion To Jacque. Which do you like?

IT'S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!!

OmGosh! I can't even tell you how excited I am to finally see the sequel to the Clerks movie from so long ago! Recently, I bought the signed versions of the 10th anniversary Clerks & Mallrats DVD's for my collection. I have been watching the movies to brush up on everything so I know right where everything left off.

I can't wait to see my boys Jay & Silent Bob.

My hero's...

*sighs*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS E!

A few of you have asked where the heck I was this afternoon. Well, I played hooky from work to meet Princess E and my mom at the Old Country Buffet.

Aren't they cute as heck in their pink outfits?

We ate and ate and ate and ate. Which is typical for a buffet style meal. However, I just couldn't finish my plate. All the bad food looked so dang good but once I got a bite or two of it, it wasn't worth gaining weight over so I opted to push it aside. Don't get me wrong though, that didn't stop me from trying most everything they had. Princess E and I ended up sharing a lot of our food and we had the greatest time tasting everything.

Can you see my pink finger nails? Princess E called me at work and told me that wearing pink was mandatory but I had no time to rush home and change. So in order to meet the 'strict' dress code I colored my nails with pink highlighter. She seemed to like them a lot and I passed the pink inspection.

*phew* That was a close one....

Aren't you wondering why Princess E opted to go to somewhere like the Old Country Buffet for her birthday. I wondered the same thing. I mean, why not McDonalds, Burger King or Circus, Circus? Well, Princess E picked Old Country Buffet because you can make your own desserts and boy did she make one....

Here you can see her gummy bears, lime and frozen yogurt but she had a plate full of gummy bears, crushed cookie and sprinkles to dip her cone in every time she licked it.

Eventually, all she had left was cone and candy.... Ahhhh, to be young again!

After our meal Princess E and I headed over to Down In The Valley to get her a lava lamp, meditation garden for her room (tiny) and a DVD of The American Idol greatest moments seasons 1-4.

She loved it and we had a ton of fun picking everything out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!!

PROJECT RUNWAY!!!

This episode challenge was to design and produce a dress for the current Ms. USA to wear in the Ms. UNIVERSE pageant. Each member of the show sketched a dress for Ms. USA and she picked seven of them to be produced. Those seven people chosen got to pick another designer to work with them.

Angela was the last to be picked because no one wanted to work with her. While the contestants were given 30 minutes to sketch their design she was lobbying to Kayne to have him pick her if his design won. Why was she doing this? Because he makes pageant dresses for a living back where he is from.

I have to say the second I saw her doing this my original opinion of her was shot to hell. I mean, was I wrong or what? She DOES have a personality but like, of an inconsiderate wiener. Yea - and I mean that.

As the show went on it got worse. I realize that Vincent is a total whack-a-doo but seriously now...Even a whack-a-doo deserves to be treated with respect. She was constantly on him about something. Yes, he should have let her help out more but at what cost? So the dress was ruined or whatever was left of his pea-sized sanity was crushed into dust?

Honestly, I think the dress looks like a costume from the Jetsons but what do I know? I'm just some chick...

It was obvious who THE WINNERS: Kayne (who is obviously gay and I can no longer have him as my eye candy. Well... I guess he still can be eye candy but all hopes of having him fall in love with me are lost....) and Robert were gonna be as soon as you saw the dress. The bead work was amazing to say the least! Wowzer...

THE LOSERS: Malan and Katherine were pretty obvious. Who wants to wear this monstrosity to a pageant??? It made her hips look twice as big and the boobs were LOPSIDED! LOPSIDED?? What? Not to mention that the dress wasn't long enough and didn't even cover her feet. Poor Malan tried but he just couldn't pull this one off.

Poor dude. Luckily Katherine (from Minneapolis...You go girl!!) wasn't sent home with him as the final verdict was decided. I will actually miss Malan because he was all arrogant and dramatic. I suppose that is why they left Angela - so we could all hate her some more.

I can't wait until next week!!
