Bit of This & Bit of That
10:06 AM |

This post is going to be all over the place, so apologies all around...
1. Ummmm, how freaking good was Mad Men on Sunday? I'm so happy its back. I adore how Peggy has come into her own, Joan has her own office, and Betty is dealing with a b!tch of a MIL. (didn't have that with Don since he had no family) Even though Don is now dealing with the consequences of his actions, you still like him, you still want him to come out on the other side...which I totally believe he will. Don Draper is a Big F'in Deal people.
2. Now True Blood - Its picking and choosing parts of the books it wants to follow. I believe in Alan Ball and all but seriously - why wouldn't Bill heal after being cut? I hate Cooter, but love how trashy Debbie Pelt is. Talbot is wonderful and Franklin is a total freakshow. And this dog fighting ring....YAWN. Ummm hello - only 1st born can be a WERE, duh! And let's get to saving Pam, she's awesome!
3. The state of our current house - CRAZY. We're walking on backer board over here... We ripped up all the flooring ourselves in the living room, hallway, kitchen, entry way, family room and stairs to the loft. Yummy dark hardwood is going in its place. Tearing it up ourselves saved us almost $1,000. We are planning on putting down the plywood ourselves too, which saves another $1,000+. I'm excited for the new floors, but not excited for the bill or having to work through all the noise its going to cause when they install.
4. My garden is growing and I have harvested several summer squash, 1 spaghetti squash, and 1 tomato.
5. We saw Inception at IMAX the weekend it came out. Amaze-balls. Seriously.
6. I have learned that there are more VW bugs in Idaho then anywhere I have ever been. Mr and I are constantly hitting each other "Slugbug no slug backs".
We went on a walk around the hood yesterday evening - 4 of them. How is that even possible?
By the way - we ONLY do it for VW Bugs.
Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Mad Men Musings... Continued

Ok now that I have a minute... WOW last night was off the chain (sorry)... but it was. For a show that sometimes you feel "nothing happens", the sh!t went down last night for sure.
The background for the episode was the days surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis. People everyone seemed to be panicked and re-evaluating everything, which leads to some very interesting conclusions and new avenues for the show...
Here are my thoughts.
1. Betty is pregnant, you kind of figured that might be the case. However, she appeared to want to "get rid of it", which in an age prior to Roe v. Wade, a "woman of means", as her doctor referred to her, didn't do such things. However during her hair salon visit, it appears that some do and her friend gave her the low down on it.
2. Don is back and has realized that Betty and kids are all he has left, he seems sincere, well as sincere as he can be. He writes Betty a loving note which moves Betty to reconsider their marriage.
3. Betty totally gets it on with some random hottie in a bar, who is also married, then goes home and eats some fried chicken.
4. Father Gill called Peggy out on her sins, and made her ultimately confess her pregnancy to Pete. We also learned that the toddler at her sister's house, is not the "said" baby in question. She gave the baby up for adoption.
5. Pete doesn't love his wife, that's totally obvious. And confesses his love to Peggy. Peggy confesses to Pete about the baby and says that she could have forced him to be with her, but she didn't want that. The irony of it all is Pete picked his wife over Peggy, and his wife can't have any children (pushing for adoption, which he sees as beneath him) and here's Peggy who had his child but didn't want it or him now... Pete actually shed a tear. Wow, he does have feelings, it was nice to see.
6. Sterling Cooper is being merged officially, and Duck the worthless Head of Accounts seems to have talked his way into being the new President, and wants to get rid of Don Draper. Funny thing, Don doesn't have a non-compete like Duck thought, so the joke may be on him. And the fact that he's back on the sauce, with a temper doesn't seem good for him. He's a POS, and hasn't brought in any new accounts.
So the episode ends with everyone going into the next chapter of their lives...
Peggy says her prayers with a smile, knowing that she will eventually go to heaven.
Don and Betty looking to get back together with a new child.
And Pete... with a rifle and drink in hand holding the fort down at Sterling Cooper.
Can't wait to see where it all goes from here.

OMG! Did you watch it, that Season Finale that is.... Amazing!!! Some much to say, have to post about it later...
One thought, so glad that some things finally came to the surface and planted new seeds for next season....
Pete professed his love to Peggy, and she told him about his baby she put up for adoption... YES!! Its about freaking time... Irony of it all was not lost on me.
Post to be continued...

OMG! Did you watch last night. Very interesting episode indeed.
The episode, the last episode before the finale, is titled "The Mountain King". I love MM. I love all the twists and turns, character development, and symbolism. Here are my thoughts/questions?
1. Wow, Don you are a total fraud. Its amazing how different he acts being Don or being Dick?
2. Interesting Anna is the only female in his life he doesn't want to have sex with.
3. Peggy is really coming into her own, and I love it. She shouldn't be next to the copy machine, its demeaning.
4. Poor Joan. Such a strong woman, she has to get out of that relationship. Her Dr. is a total jerkoff. But she's getting old, and probably doesn't see her options.
5. Betty - why was she bleeding?
6. Pete - stop yelling at your wife and way to go sticking it to your Father in Law.
7. I thought it was hilarious that Alice Cooper insinuated that his new girlfriend was another "child" for him to take care of.
8. The last scene, I saw it as a baptism of sorts, but others see it as a suicide attempt. I still believe baptism, he's cleansing myself of all the mess he's gotten himself into this season.

Deep Thoughts from the weekend

1. I found Badgley Mischka at TJ Maxx. I found a really cute Purple dress, but while it fit in the top it didn't really have a waist and wasn't very flattering on me. It looked like a really cute pruple bag.
2. I'm pissed that I don't get to see the Colts today on regular TV. I'm checking updates online.
3. I've recently decided to not buy small bagged carrots. I've started buying a pound of carrots and then peel and cut them myself. Did you realize that use can get a pound for under $1.00? Not only is it cheaper, but they taste alot better.
4. I am successfully bringing my backyard back to life.
5. I just bought a super cute, pink, cotton sleep dress from Walmart - its Hanes and the proceeds are going to Breast Cancer Research.
6. I'm still working on Thank you cards from the wedding. Yes I'm horrible. I have about 30 or so left. I just got totally burnt out. All the "important" people got theirs during the first wave...
7. I'm going to make Rice Krispies today.... Yeah!! Yes I'm supposed to be watching what I eat...
8. I put some time in on the elliptical machine yesterday.... not enough but it is the first step.
9. I can't wait to watch Mad Men tonight.
10. Poor lil Milo has some sort of eye infection. I have to give him antibiotics, baby aspirins, and put ointment in both of his eyes, which he absolutely hates.
