Rainy Days

Have you ever realized how big of a roll the weather plays in the moods that we are in on any particular day? I don't guess I really paid much attention to it until I moved to the Midwest five years ago. This seems to be the melting pot of crazy weather. It can be 75 degrees, sun shining and not a cloud in the sky one day, and twelve hours later, it is 30 degrees and spitting snow and ice. I don't see how people can still wonder why I stay sick with something the majority of the time.

Well today it is 86 degrees outside, sun shining bright with a light breeze. A.K.A. the perfect weather. It could not feel any better outside. That is why I chose to sit down and write about it.

At my job, I deal with the public in a customer service atmosphere on a daily basis. I have began to realize that the prettier the day is, the more profit my store makes. Likewise, the crappier the day is, the slower it is in sales. So on that note, pretty weather, please make Springfield your home for the next few months and keep everyone here happy.

Planning

The wedding planning is continuing but surprisingly, it is going really well. I have finally picked dresses for my sister, the Maid of Honor, and my other bridesmaids to wear. That is a big relief considering dresses take so long to come in these days. The next thing on the list is to register and figure out the plans for our honeymoon.

On another note, I feel like I am finally settling into my new position at work but every day brings about new challenges that push me to be better. The days are beginning to go by much quicker as well since we are becoming more and more busy at work. That is definitely a good thing considering I work nine hour days now.

Reality TV is getting a little better for me. "American Idol" finally picked up with the last show (the Rolling Stones Edition). I was very impressed with how every contestant performed for once. Reality TV will hit it's peak for me though on March 22nd with the premier of "Dancing with the Stars." I can't wait!

Reality TV!!!!!

Alright...I have been very disappointed with reality TV here lately so here is my vent! To begin, I vow from this point on to never, ever, eveeeeerrrrrr watch the "Bachelor" again. For those of you who enjoy the show I am sorry for what I am about to say.

Everyone who watched the show from the very beginning, could very well figure out that the only reason Fly Boy kept "V" around was because he felt sorry for her and what she was having to deal with concerning all of the other women. Since when did a majority not know what they are talking about? Hello Fly Boy...the other women probably knew what they were talking about! I knew there was a reason I stopped watching the show after a few seasons.

To continue, what is up with "American Idol" this season? Where did all the people that could really sing and perform go? I guess I just don't understand the whole nerves excuse. Yes, I get that they are on national TV but what about when they were performing in front of over 200 people at the beginning of Hollywood week? They all sounded great then. I wouldn't think that having a camera pointed in your direction would make that big of a difference but...maybe I am wrong.

In conclusion, I plan to continue to watch "American Idol" in hopes that the performances will improve. As far as the "Bachelor" goes...you can count me out!
