Day 332- Watch What Happens: Live

Brace yourself for another embarrassing (ok, I know I should be ashamed, but I'm not at all...) reality television show confession.  I LOOOOOOOOOOVE me some Real Housewives.  I have been watching these series since the original OC ladies, and I have picked up all of the additional cities along the way.  I could list the reasons why for days, but today is really about my boy Andy Cohen and his Real Housewives aftershow, "Watch What Happens: Live."

The show takes place in the Bravo clubhouse.  As far as I can tell, this is a rowdy little studio in the corner of some building somewhere that is decorated like a bachelor's basement.  It fits the rowdy little host Andy Cohen perfectly.  Andy is hilarious, impeccably dressed, and usually at least somewhat intoxicated (and holding a cocktail in his hand for most/all of the show).  His guests include the housewives from the shows discussing their drama, Bravo realebrities (I think I might have just made that word up), and the occasional suprising big name celebrities. 

The guests tonight were Kristin Chenoweth and Molly Shannon.  I was delighted to discover that they are good friends in real life.  They even text each other while watching the Real Housewives!  That is a friendship sandwich I would definitely like to be a part of.  I'm sure we could call up Neil Patrick Harris to join our club too :).  Bliss!

Kristin and Molly made the already entertaining show even more spectacular.  They aren't faking when they say they watch the Bravo shows like some guests do.  They provided real details and opinions on the goings on and drama of the crazy ladies.  They also did fabulous impressions.  Beyond that, Molly, with only a tiny bit of coaxing, broke out her Sally O'Malley "I'm 50!" character.  That's always a crowd pleaser (or at least a me pleaser).  After drinking something she could only describe as "chocolate surprise," Kristin yodeled.  She is as precious as can be. 



The whole thing was thirty minutes of delightful and a wonderful end to an already wonderful weekend.

Thank you, "Watch What Happens: Live," you made my day.

Crap! How did I miss that?! Sounds amazing.

I'm also guilty as can be for watching all of the Real Housewives. I've really been enjoying the Beverly Hills HW's... but they don't seem to be as drama packed. That's okay though, because it's kind of a welcome break. (my favorite is still the OC HWs)

p.s. I really love watching Andy drunk and calling everyone mazels and jackholes! :)

Some Stories. About Stories.

  One of my greatest passions and joys is matchmaking between people and the books that will get them reading and speak to their souls. Sharing stories, both real and fictional, is transformative. It’s how we connect to one another. It’s how we travel to places we can’t afford. It’s how we learn about people we’ve yet to meet. It’s how we pass on history. It’s how we explore religion. The universe is made up of atoms and molecules, but it is also built on stories. I don’t believe that there are nonreaders; there are just some people who haven’t met the right book yet. I did not invent this idea, but it is a core philosophy I live by in my classroom and in my life on a daily basis. One of my favorite eligible reader stories was a boy who came into my intervention class with low confidence in his skills and in his ability to grow them and put them to work. He told me on the first day that he was not a reader and would never be one, so I might as well not bother. Ah! I love a good cha...

Day 83- Applesauce

How to become a kid again in three simple steps. Become a teacher.  Spend your break time conversing with students about whether or not Twilight is good reading (it's not, sorry) and explaining how everything they're learning is important (it is) and discussing how Shaun White's private halfpipe is the sweetest thing to ever exist (it might be).    Start taking a lunchbox to work.  Swing it while you walk, embrace it, love it. Pack applesauce in your lunch every day.  An applesauce a day keeps the old age away.  In the initial lunch packing stages of this semester, I always made sure that I had some kind of little sweet treat included to enjoy at the end of lunch.  Over the past few weeks, little applesauce cups have also become a part of the daily routine, and I enjoy this just as much.  I love how it tastes.  I love the little perfectly portioned cup.  I love that eating it makes me feel good and ...

Day 196- Summery Dinner

Tonight's menu was a good one!  Our weather here has been so nice this week.  We've only been in the mid 80's, and it has actually been cooling down at night.  We have been taking advantage of this by doing some major grilling and enjoying lots of summer foods.  Today's Specials Chipotle Lime Chicken Southwestern Cornbread Salad grilled bananas grilled pineapple We covered all of the food groups in the most delicious and summery of ways (plus, it was pretty healthy too).  If you have never tried grilled bananas, you really should.  They're so good that it's bananas!  Grilled Bananas Recipe 1. Cut off the ends (leaving peel intact). 2. Grill the bananas until the peels turn a darkish brown color and the insides are soft. 3. Gently slice the peel and scoop out the warm gooey goodness. 4. Eat. 5. Sigh with satisfaction. 6. Repeat steps 4-5 many, many times. It's just as easy as that.  The salad was a whole lot more involved, ...
