Well I am … watching BIG BROTHER, that is. In truth, I’m addicted. Every summer I go through the same routine. I say I’m not going to watch it. I refuse to get hooked. And what do I do?
I become addicted to CBS’ BIG BROTHER!
And boy am I addicted! Between the regular show on CBS, the live, late night feed from Showtime, and some great blogs like http://www.big-brother-blog.com/ (two thumbs up to their email updates), my DVR is getting such a work out.
So, tonight was eviction night and thank goodness Amber is gone. She was driving me batty. Seriously, this girl needs a reality check. She’s made anti-semitic comments (they were aired on CNN), swears she is a “good person” and has “never lied” (which in itself is a lie). I tried to feel sorry for her, but she annoyed me so much that it was difficult at times. At any rate, it was buh-bye Amber tonight. And I wasn’t sorry to see her go. Nor was I surprised.
What has shocked me this season? The success of America’s Player Eric. I thought this was stupidity at first, he seemed so meek and, well … not up to the task. Yet Eric has been successful at 18 out of 25 tasks assigned to him and has been a major player in the house. In addition, he receives $10,000. for every five tasks he completes successfully. Yep, you calculated that correctly. Eric has, thus far, earned $30,000. Go Eric!
Who are my favorite players right now? Eric and Jessica by far. But Dick and Danielle are strong players and Zach shouldn’t be underestimated (any man who can wear a Bunny Suit with a sports coat should never be underestimated). The next few weeks will be interesting and I’ll be watching (and fast forwarding my DVR through the boring parts).
BIG BROTHER is my summer guilty pleasure. What’s yours?

It’s been quite a long time since my last blog! To be honest, the weeks prior to and after Nationals are a blur. I’ve been busy but haven’t we all?
August has brought much news for me. The fabulous news is that DANCE WITH DECEPTION is now available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and Chapters.indigo.ca. YEAY! Moving onto bad news, our middle feline son needs kitty root canal. Poor thing! He’s at the vet today having a full work up including lab work to see if he’s a candidate for surgery. We’ll pick him up this afternoon and speak with the vet more then. Poor bear! Just one month ago he was posing for pictures with Morag and I. There’s a price for being such a photogenic feline, I suppose.
Hopefully, August finds you happy, healthy and soaking up the summer sunshine. Houston has received quite a bit of rain and we’re supposed to get more with hurricane Dean this week. We’ll wait and see though. It may bypass Houston all together. Best of luck to all those in its path … my prayers go out to you.
I’ll be posting photos from Nationals this month and announcing August contest winners soon. In addition, I promise that I am back in blog mode and will post daily! I’ve missed you.
