TAR: Premiere!
Oooh! And what a good premiere of The Amazing Race it was! They threw a twist in right off the bat, they gave us plenty of time to get to know most of the couples, and they herded reluctant geese, all with the constant steady commentary of Phil.
We started in LA, at the “famous” and disgustingly un-picture-esque LA River. The teams were introduced and then it’s time for the first challenge – already. They were a clue with their bags, and had to search for a license plate among hundreds that was from the district of Tokyo they were headed too. It took some of them a while, but the diagram they were looking for was right at the top of the clue. The hitch? There were only 11 license plates – and 12 teams. The last time would be eliminated right then and there.

And lo and behold, our Yoga couple are eliminated first – because they forgot to meditate on the right par of the clue – or something. Poor Eric and Lisa. We hardly knew you.

KCHS Homecoming, 2009!
We’re not a football family. I know, I know – get out the pitchforks and such now, but it mainly stems from being in a state that doesn’t HAVE it’s own football (or any real sports) team. Sure, we have collegiate baseball, and I think in Anchorage they still have some inside flag football thing, […]
On becoming a girly-girl…
Peppermist: It’s an EMERGENCY! Me: What?! Peppermist: I NEED MAKEUP! Mascara and Eyeliner, STAT! Me:…you don’t wear makeup! Peppermist: Thus, the EMERGENCY! Coach said we had too. What do I DO? What is this ‘smokey eye’ thing they keep talking about? Me:… have we met? How would I know?! -I- don’t wear makeup either! Peppermist: […]
Does ANYONE else LIKE their teens?
Wow. So I’ve been wandering around a couple of boards lately, inviting folks here, checking out some of the parent/teenager relationships, and some of the issues that they’re dealing with, and one thing stands out more than anything else: They don’t LIKE their teenagers. At all. Now, maybe it’s a case of only the unhappy […]
