Survivor and Amazing Race
Another season of tv comes to a close.
Amazing Race - This was an odd season for me. I didn't like many of the teams. My favorite team, the techie-nerd guys, got out fairly early on because of a silly mistake not reading the directions. This season was FULL of incidents of racers screwing up because they didn't read the directions. As a 5th grade teacher, it was all too familiar. The winners, Nick and Starr, I didn't love, but I did feel that they were the most deserving.
Survivor - Again, another odd season for me because of the cast. I was so glad that Bob won - I really feel that he deserved it. I thought the other members of the cast treated him horribly. Time after time they rated him as a valuable player yer no one seemed really interested in befriending him.
However, I was royally pissed that Sugar didn't get any votes, and more pissed that Susie managed to get 3. Susie? She didn't do anything during the show! It just pointed to the idiocy of the Jury. I can't believe they would rather give Susie, who did nothing, votes, rather than Sugar, who they all acknowledged played a smart game, or Bob who was smart, good at challenges, and essential around camp. I love that Sugar kept Bob - because he truly deserved it! And screw the jury, Sugar knows most of America loves her.
Looking forward to next season!

Busy times
I am so glad that it is finally vacation! I need a bit of relaxation - some time to slow down and prepare for the upcoming months.
In the past few weeks my mom flew out and I had a baby shower, so I got to put together a lot of fun baby stuff, I've been teaching a parent training program on Thursday nights, and my doctor's appointments have been increasing in frequency. It is going to be nice to have a few weeks to slow down, start preparing my lesson plans for my maternity leave, and do some stuff around the house.

Bell's Toy
Belle has this new toy - It is a squeaker duck. When it squeaked, it sounded like a duck. She's played with toys like this before - She loved Lily's duck - and she's had one of her own before - but Belle has become quite attached to this one, which is unusual for her.
Normally, all of her toys are downstairs, and she mostly pulls them out when other people are here because she wants to play with the visitors.
This duck she keeps upstairs in the bedroom.
She has completely gutted the inside - no squeaker, no stuffing, so it is just the duck "skin," left. She brings it up on the bed with her at night. She usually plays with it a little each night, you know, to make sure that it is good and dead, and then she slips with it on the bed next to her - like it is her teddy bear.
Belle's never done this with a toy before. It is so cute and so funny!
