Freaks and Geeks 4eva

Watched a documentary about my favorite show of all time, Freaks and Geeks. It only lasted one season, but it created stars out of James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segal (with the help of creator Judd Apatow). What I didn't know - the little guy, "Sam," once looked like this:

And now is a director, directing the remake of Vacation! Holy star-maker.

Cheers for DIA; Boos for TIA

Doing a combo blog and Bachelorette recap here...

The Denver airport had the nicest nursing room. We may have hung out in there for like three hours. Clean-ish carpet for Georgie to crawl around on, other babies to talk to, couches, flowers, the whole 9. PLUS the airport has a pet relief area with indoor grass for traveling pups! Two thumbs up. Aside from the crew who broke our stroller.

And now the Bachelorette...she meets the final four's families, and after telling her gal pals how well everything went, Tia breaks the news that in fact she still has feelings for Colton (so back off, basically). And she does! Colton goes home. Poor virgin never stood a chance. And since Tia is on Bachelor in Paradise, maybe they will send him as a special surprise? One can only hope.

Travel woes (and whoas)

Took the baby on her first plane ride to Colorado. It went just about as I expected - she napped for about 20 minutes and was fairly fussy the rest of the time. What I didn't expect? The landing into Denver was so bumpy that I puked 5 times in the barf bag. Seriously?? When is the last time ANYONE has used a barf bag.

Where we were in CO wasn't all that cool, either - I was sweating pretty much the entire time. But still better than 100 degrees + in Dallas (106 this week???). And spending 5 solid days with Georgie was amazing. She is sitting up, clapping, and saying "dada" apparently. Yay?

Adulting is hard

Met with a financial planner (?!) a few weeks ago who convinced me that I need more life insurance for Georgie, need a will for Georgie and need to bump up my 401K to max earning potential. All of which make sense (and all of which I should have done about 10 years ago), but it seems so...adult. I have my wellness exam for life insurance today - apparently they just come to the office - and the part I'm most annoyed by is the fasting. So. Very. Hungry. (Note: it's only 8:15am)

Bachelorette recap: thanks, Trump

Once again Trump interrupts the Bachelorette and my DVR cut it off so I had to learn who got sent home on the radio this morning. Humph. (or should I say Trumph?)

We're in the Bahamas, and Becca is a Bahamas virgin. Also a virgin? Colton! (nice segue, no?) He finally spills the beans on his one-on-one date, after "conch-diving" (you literally can't make this up) and eating the pistil, aka Bahamian Viagra. Sigh. So many jokes. Becca responds with "Really??" and then steps away for what feels like an eternity (thanks, editing). But she shakes it off (probably because he admits he's not necessarily saving himself for marriage...bring on the fantasy suite!) and gives him her flower, er rose.

Garrett gets the next date, and Becca presses him on his past relationship. He plays the victim card - his wife was mean and yelled a lot. Hmmm. Still, he says those magic words: "I'm falling in love with you" and gets the rose. Blake does the same. (Sorry for lack of details here - these guys kind of blend together for me.)

That's all I saw, aside from the beginnings of the three-on-one date (with Wills wearing another amazing tank top) - apparently Wills and Leo are goners.

So we have Blake, Colton, Jason and Garrett with home town dates next week. I don't know why they are all kind of milque toast to me.

Is "bastard" really so bad?

A little blog for my musical-loving friends. I saw Starlight Express like four times back in the day, had the soundtrack, the whole nine. In one of the songs, U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D., the girl sings about getting revenge on the guy who broke up with her by calling him a B-A-S-T-A-R-D. Cue huge cheers from the audience. Last week I was thinking about that song and found a couple of versions on YouTube. One said "S-C-U-M-B-A-G" and the other said "lousy C-R-E-E-P." Personally neither of these really fits the bill for me - but then again I think she ends up getting back together with him anyway, so it's all a choo point. (Get it? Like a moot point but they're trains?? Ahhhhh)

A near-hoarding situation

My living room looks like a daycare center. One coming in might assume several babies lived there. But no - just one, potentially spoiled baby. I mean: swing. Bouncy seat. Activity mat with like 10 toys on it. Toy box. Seat where she can eat or watch Sesame Street. Exersaucer. And the newest addition, a jumparoo. GOOD LORD PEOPLE. And don't get me started on what is in the playroom/storage sheds. Little Georgie may not have money to go to college, but at least she can say the first few years were good.
