It has been raining in "The Shy" for a few days now. Our backyard looks like the coat of a mangy dog-- a few patches of grass here, several bald patches of mud there.... Chris' hard work trying to grow a healthy lawn has all been shot to hell. What doesn't help the look of our outfield is Kasia's morning antics, usually involving SEVERAL laps, back and forth, all the while ripping up grass. Post Kasia running finale, I will call her in and then spend the next 6-9 minutes wiping the caked layers of mud from her paws.
I'm "working from home" today, which really means working on my laptop while taking breaks to paint the new door molding. As I read e-mails, I decided to turn on the "Teen Mom Season 3 Finale." Holy shit. I love this show however, I don't want anyone to translate me loving Teen Mom with me loving Amber. One of the cast members is named Amber. She is from Anderson, IN. In a nutshell, she is trailer park straight up:
Fake nails with ridiculous decals/gems/danglies
Fake eyelashes that look like pieces of shag carpet
WAY too much eye makeup
There is nothing wrong with being from Anderson or living in a trailer park. What is an issue is the lack of class. Apparently she has 3 felonies and a misdemeanor for going toe-up with her on-again/off-again last season. REALLY? It's not hard to not punch and slap someone..... check that.... it is hard to not punch and/or slap annoying drivers on I-355 during rush hour.
I get that it is extremely challenging to raise a child as a single parent with limited funds and limited support. What isn't challenging is maintaining a level of class and dignity.
A WEDDING UPDATE: In several weeks Chris and I will be tying the knot. I still don't have my dress. I'm not too pleased with House of Brides. I have tried calling, following up..... I haven't gotten one call, one e-mail, nothing. Nada. Ziltch. Jeebus. What am I suppose to do if I don't get my dress in time? Keep in mind that I ordered it in March. I need a Xanax.
