TV is going down the toilet

So I was very disturbed the other day when I turned on the television to watch my 3:00 p.m. showing of Ellen when I was completely shocked to see the Tyra Banks Show. What in the world is ABC thinking? Keep this show on the WB, or CW, or whatever that channel is. Has anyone sat and watched this show? Oh my gosh. I think it is the worst show I have ever seen. I am more entertained watching Sally Jessie Rafael. Hopefully this show will not last. Don't get me wrong, I watch my share of bad TV shows, those of which I will not name so that nobody thinks less of me, but this show reaches a whole new level.

A Grand Sunday

On Sunday morning my friends took me to breakfast at the Grand America for a small baby shower. It was so much fun!!!! They are the best. I got cute outfits, bibs, blankets, and shoes for the un-named baby. My friends are so amazing. THANKS, Marisa, Holly, Charity and Miranda.

After I got home Ryan took Brayden to his first baseball game. It was a nice day to go since it was not too hot. Brayden came home with a miniature wooden bat, which Brayden would not part with, until he threw it across the room multiple times and it has now been taken away and is just an outside toy. Brayden REALLY, REALLY wanted to go and see the giraffes and elephants at the zoo yesterday. I told him that maybe in a few weeks when Papa Don is staying with him while I am in the hospital he might be able to take him to the zoo. Hopefully Papa will be okay with this or maybe Brayden will have forgotten by then. I asked Ryan to take the camera to take pictures of him for me at his first baseball game, however, I was denied. I did get a cell phone picture, but it is really not the same thing.

D-Day Update

I went to the doctor on Wednesday and we set my delivery date for September 25, 2008. Not too much longer before our new little boy is here. We are still struggling with names so if anyone has any thoughts please let us know. Miranda Beckman and Holly... we have been through a lot of names together so you will have to be very creative. I am leaning towards Andrew and Ryan is liking Jase. Any input would be nice.

Breaking Dawn Vent

Let me first preface this with if you have not read Breaking Dawn and plan to read Breaking Dawn please stop here. And to the people I have already expressed my opinion too I am sorry you have to hear this again, but it continues to bother me.

First of all, I am a huge fan of the books and read the first three books multiple time ( I know it is sad to admit, but sometimes you get sick of watching Handy Manny and Little Einsteins 20 times in a row). I must say that I was really kind of disappointed in the last book. I have two complaints that I just cannot look past. 1) Since when did Jasper's name change to Jazz? You cannot start a nickname in the fourth book without it not being mentioned in any of the other three books. Not Cool. 2) What the heck is up with combining names for a baby name. Now I am the first to admit that there are some cute names that have two names combined, but Renesmee, that is probably the ugliest name for a child I have ever heard, especially when this baby is suppose to be so amazingly beautiful. If she is beautiful then pick a beautiful name. And then for a middle name to combine Charlie and Carlisle for Carlie, OH PLEASE!!! When sharing my views of this with Holly she asked what I was going to name our little boy and I told her that I was thinking of combining our father's names, Don and Thomas for "Domas" If you say this out loud you will get the idea. Not that I am saying my son would be a dumba@# but it is just not that cute of a name.

Thanks for letting me vent.
