Something Old, But New To Me

Do you ever come across something that's been around for a while, but that's new to you and you say "Geez, this is fantastic! What have I been missing?!" Well...last night I settled in on the couch and prepared myself for another night of loud HGTV viewing with Mom. We watched some show (they all have different names, but are about the same things) AND THEN SHE PICKED UP THE REMOTE TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL! Apparently she didn't like Candace Olsen in Devine Design because she started surfing. Actual channel surfing! Needless to say, I was in a state of euphoria. I was almost giddy at the thought of watching a show that didn't include anything having to do with curb appeal or designing to sell. I was fully prepared to watch the Golf Channel or the Toenail Network ~ anything would've been a welcome change!

So Mom stops on some reality show about the drama queen fashion designers that have to make outfits out of like cotton balls and old shoestrings and then present them on toothpick-thin models in front of judges who all try to be nastier than Simon Cowell. It was fabulous! There's really nothing better than watching a chubby queenie guy call a skinny queenie guy a be-otch several times over the course of an hour. There was every human emotion represented here; crying, whining, eyes rolling back in your head, foot stomping, more whining, men with falsetto voices and lisps. And what made it even better was that I got to watch it with Mom. I actually cringed at the first "bitch" uttered, but after the 4th or 5th one, I realized that she was probably just saying a silent little prayer for them and moving right along because she found it all deliciously entertaining, too. She actually said that we'll have to remember that this in on next Thursday. Oh. My. God. I think I'm going to have to slowly ease her into baseball season ~ there's a lot of Tigers games in our future. I'll buy her a jersey!
