We played Monopoly last night, it was Deasons first time playing. He had more money than all of us through out the whole game. Unfortunately, in the end, as the other players fell to my rents, so did Deason. Then, he had a melt down. He was truly devastated. I remember being his age and feeling the power of holding so much colored Monopoly money in my hands, wishing it were real, and then the utter heart break of having to hand it over. I also have shed a few tears at losing that game. A good beginning lesson as to how the world works....money is sometimes an illusion!
Then, once Deason went to bed Chris and I stayed up entirely too long watching the trashiest of trash TV....."Bridalplasty"! It was like a train wreck, it was so horrendous, but we just couldn't look away. These poor women are competing for their dream weddings plus their dream bodies (meaning: they get full body plastic surgery)! Sick....this one women kept referring to herself as "buttface", and was screaming with excitement over the fact that she was able to get some "injectables" for her "buttface"! I don't really think you could have a show that could make women feel worse about themselves! At the end of this first episode when a contestant had to go home, she was dismissed with the statement..."you will still have your wedding, it just may not be perfect"! Although, they might be correct the woman did pawn her engagement ring, and didn't tell her fiance...so in all reality she may not even have a wedding!
This is how Chris and I have been spending our time....so sad....I need to get back on the boat before I become sucked too far into these reality show nightmares!! HELP!
