Jon and Kate Plus 8

I have long thought that there was something wrong between Jon and Kate, when they sit on the sofa it is like there is a wall between them, they never interact like a couple but I figured raising 8 kids is just hard. I do think that the show is work for them and not a real picture of their lives anymore.
The brother and sister in law are total jackasses looking for their own 15 minutes and should not be allowed to capitalize. They are probably hoping somehow they can get custody so they can have a reality show.
If Jon and Kate are struggling then put that in the show, it would probably be a lot more interesting to see them try to co parent 8 kids while separated. It would paint a picture that more people could relate to as well. Just don't lie. I hate that.

Melissa Rycroft, Dancing with the Stars

I was pretty worried last week that Melissa might get the boot after her injury. I was not able to watch live so I did not vote, I should have anyway of course! I want so much for her to win, I do love Shawn as well, I think she is just adorable and did a great job last night. Her paso doble was fierce! I love how crisp and clean she is and her face is just so cute when she tries to be all fierce. I really want to see much more of her somewhere.

As much as I love Shawn, I really do feel that Melissa should win and I want it for her so much. She is so genuine and tries so hard. She did look much happier this week after that beautiful waltz and amazing samba! I love to watch this show, I think the professional competition is a lot of fun as well, I like all three of them and wish there was a way to keep them all. I really do love to watch these dancing shows, reminds me of the variety shows that were so popular, like Sonny and Cher, Donny and Marie, ermmm I know there were others but that sort of format would be fun to see again.

Molly One Week

I cannot believe how much Molly has changed in a week. She is very sweet and such a good baby. She sleeps most of the night, wakes up every 3.5-4 hours for a change and a bottle and goes right back to sleep. She is starting to stay awake more during the day and keeps those big eyes open.
She still seems very small but is actually filling out a few of her Newborn outfits and the Newborn diapers are a little snug.
Poor Emma is having a hard time though, now she feels that she has to guard Molly as well, she gets very excited when she does cry and wants someone to tend to her immediately! She has been a little curious but mostly seems to take a guardian sort of attitude with her. The first time she saw me hold Molly she laid on the back of the sofa and cried until her face was wet.

Hitler Gets Banned from WoW

I have seen several of these, B sent me this one. I may be the last person alive to see it but I think it is so funny. I haven't been able to play WoW since Christmas and I sure do miss it. Here is where you can find some of the others.

The Baby is Coming!

Mary was in Cancun last summer when this photo was taken. She has not seen her toes in awhile but hopefully she will soon again as we are at the hospital now. Her water broke at midnight and now we just wait. So excited for Molly to arrive!

Isabella's Netherlands Meme

Doing a little blog-housecleaning and saw this. I don't know why I never posted as I obviously finished it!

Smoke: No.
Cuss: Yeah, more than I should.
Sing: not really although I can.
Favorite tourist sight in the Netherlands: I guess Palais Het Loo was one of the highlights but it may have just been the overall day. I did think Madurodam was charming. Slot Zeist in this photo is a real favorite too as I love Zeist. I like the things that are every day like shopkeepers scrubbing the front of their shops and all the flowers and how clean everything is.
Learned another language: I have learned bits and bobs of several.

First time you used a computer: probably around 1987.
Take a shower everyday: shower or a bath.

Outgoing or not: If I am comfortable I am outgoing.
Do you think you've been in love: Yes.

Favorite only Dutch TV show: I don't know the names but I like the one where they do the home redo.

Want to go to college: No, I think I have had all the college I want.

Liked high school: Loved it.

Want to get married: Not sure, it doesn't seem practical to marry B as I don't really need to be a citizen of the Nl but I would like everything that goes with it.

Favorite thing to see on the roadside in the Netherlands: there is a house in Zeist that has a moat-like thing and there are ducks in it, so charming. I like to see the small ponies with the long hair and the reindeer.

Believe in yourself: Apparantly not as much as I should.

First impression of the Netherlands: Flying in the first time it was how populated it seemed to be and the orange awnings, on the ground I thought it was quite organized and efficient.
Get motion sickness: No.

Afraid of the dark: Sometimes.

Afraid of spiders: Well sort of, terrified to be bitten as around here we have deadly brown recluse.
Afraid of heights: No.
Most unusual thing about the Netherlands: The many people on bikes.

Think you're attractive: Yes, well I can be lol.

Think you're a health freak: Only in my mind.

Politically, you are: I used to think I was liberal but a lot of liberal stuff pisses me off these days.
One thing you'd change about the Netherlands: I don't know, maybe wish for the government to continue to get their immigration issues under control while they still can.

Your profession should've been: Physician or some sort of scientist.

Get along with your parent(s): Gah.

Furthest east you've been: hmm don't know maybe Aspen?

Favorite Dutch cheese: Jong hahah I don't know, I love all the types of cheese I normally eat in Texas, my God, the Mozarella is so heavenly and the Parmesan is so salty and delicious, I can taste it right now. I really should look to see where it is made. I eat a LOT of cheese in Holland and a lot of tomatoes.

Like thunderstorms: Not when I am working and afraid to lose my connection.

One thing you'd love to learn to do: Control my diet.

Play an instrument: A few but not well.

Ever read a Dutch novel in full, without help: uh No, I can barely ready one in French.
