A Little Rant And One Rave

First, The Rave.... I haven't been on the blogosphere much recently and that's because I've been taking an online class called, "Speed Spanish". It was a six week class and they weren't kidding when they named it!! It was fast!! :) I LOVED it, and can't wait till I can take the next session. This class deals with what the instructor calls "recipes"... basically how to put together sentences to converse with someone in Spanish. I can't believe all I've learned so far and am anxious to see how much I can use when I go to ALTECO in a couple of weeks. There will be delegates there from many South American countries and indigenous tribes, all speaking espanol! :) All just waiting for me to say something profound like "No hay agua! La agua no funciona!"

Oh, and by the way.... Pity the poor hostess on The Biggest Loser! I do! Poor Alison Sweeney. She clearly tries to make for compelling conversation, ala Jeff Probst on Survivor or even Julie Chen on Big Brother. Alas she fails!! People keep attacking her!! Is it because she's skinny? Beautiful? Annoying? All the above? Did you watch it tonight? Did you? I thought Jillian was going to take her out!! Now, I'm not normally one who goes in for cussing, but I just wanted to applaude Jillian for standing up for Brittany.

I should say that I have NOT followed this show religiously, so maybe I'm not getting the whole picture. It just seems to me that Alison has no real rapport with the Losers. They don't seem to enjoy her banter or her commentary during challenges. She just seems a bad fit to me. Is it just me? Tell me people, and I will repent!

And gee, while I'm on my rant.... What happened to Moonlight on CBS' website? I have been in Moonlight withdrawal for weeks. I admit it!! Last week I went online looking to watch a full episode and the only episode offered was "Arrested Development". Not my favorite episode, but I clicked on it anyway and never could get it to run! Now? Watching a full episode isn't even an option!! Geez!

Time Travel Made Easy

So yesterday I was at my local Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) meeting.

Love this group for the fellowship, support and the great breakfasts too!! I miss my old MOPS group though. It was awesome on every level and it's hard not to compare the two.

Anyway, at the end of the meeting, we all pulled numbers from a basket for a drawing. My number was 24. As I mosied toward my discussion group, I heard my number being called.

So, with great excitement and much humor, I got to yell, "I'm 24! I'm 24!!" It's been awhile since I've been able to say that!! It made my day even more than the Bath & Body Works Peaberry Moisturizing Hand Soap I picked from the prize basket.
