<p>Britney&#8217;s snatch is becoming more popular than &#8220;checking the poo&#8221; on Scrubs. yes, yes, we know that sometimes i go out commando. and i did, on one occasion flash an unsuspecting rabbi in the parking lot at the library. but i assure you, i AM a lady. i know how to close my legs. someone needs to teach Britney so we don&#8217;t have to bleed from our eyes when we see <a href="http://img3.imagehaven.net/img.php?id=GO8IHC5ZTZ_britney_nopantiesagain_big.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>. (NOT safe for work, folks)</p>
<p><img style="width: 27px; height: 24px" height="24" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/alimartell/ali.jpg" width="27" align="middle" /></p>
<p>Mary Kate Olsen scares me. i&#8217;m sure i will nightmares tonight.</p>
<p><img class="image preview" style="width: 419px; height: 349px" height="349" src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/0/88/41_2007/marykate10112007.jpg" width="419" /></p>
<p>so does this stroller:</p>

<p><img style="width: 27px; height: 24px" height="24" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/alimartell/ali.jpg" width="27" align="middle" /></p>
<p>who watched <strong><em>Heroes</em></strong>? anyone find the coupling of Mohinder Suresh and Matt Parkman to be the most interesting couple on this show? much more interesting than Clare and her Superboy wannabe&#8230;or certainly more interesting than Peter Petrelli and his Irish lady (because y&#8217;all? seriously? i won&#8217;t like anyone with <em><strong>my</strong></em> Peter&#8230;)</p>
<p><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/alimartell2/burt-and-ernie-and-heroes-h.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><em>America&#8217;s Next Top Model</em></strong>? i heart makeover week. Bianca goes bald and looks stunningly beautiful. Saleisha goes &#8220;high fashion&#8221; which in Tyraspeak really means &#8220;<a href="http://personal.iddeo.es/mmoreira/images/braces/factsoflife2.jpg" target="_blank">tootie</a>&#8221; <img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/alimartell2/saleisha.jpg" />Â = <img style="width: 286px; height: 230px" height="230" src="http://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/989/3lawrencebrothersbw.jpg" width="286" />=</p>
<p>Â <img src="http://beerheart.com/wp-content/uploads/oliver_l.jpg" />Â =<img style="width: 209px; height: 229px" height="229" src="http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/82/74/0000008274_20060920152140.jpg" width="209" /></p>
<p>Bald Bianca = HOT</p>
<p><em><strong>The Bachelor</strong></em>? Solisa wears her special parts on the outside. i think that means she has big labia.</p>
<p><em><strong>Friday Night Lights</strong></em>? where to even start. i so heart this show. i heart everyone on the show. well, except for Mrs. Coach (who knew her name was Tami?) because she&#8217;s just annoying, really. Landry and &#8220;the Seracin&#8221;&#8216;s conversation about WWRD&#8230;what would Riggins do&#8230;.was perfection. because Riggins wouldn&#8217;t be worried about his girlfriend flirting the &#8220;the swede&#8221; (who, ps, looks no more swede thanÂ your truly) because Riggins is the captain of the SS Tatas. and boy is he ever&#8230;much to Lyla&#8217;s dismay. yes, she&#8217;s accepted Jesus Christ as her lord and savior&#8230;but she has not learned that YES, mothers of three CAN wear skinny jeans. damnit.</p>
<p><strong><em>Survivor</em></strong>? boring. as. hell. except maybe Denise and the &#8220;delicatest&#8221; meal. the special effects?!!? what the hell? and Courtney needs a sandwich. i&#8217;m underwhelmed by <em>everyone</em>. i hope this season gets better.</p>
<p><strong><em>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy? </em></strong>I heart Cristina the surgery stealer with all her fake sadness. also&#8230;she stole the show with her &#8220;what&#8217;s the matter? couldn&#8217;t find his LVAD wire?&#8221; line. badass. Bailey is a sock-rocker. love. she&#8217;s the best #2 ever. Alex. shit. i don&#8217;t know whether to hate him or to love him. <em>sigh</em>. i miss Addison.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Office</strong></em>? That was weird&#8230;and almost painful to watch&#8230;however, i did enjoy the bouncing DVD opening. That&#8217;s so something that would happen at <em>my </em>office. I also did enjoy the club called Chatroom and the password that was actually &#8220;password&#8221;. and Michael calling Angela &#8220;booster seat&#8221; was pretty great too. oh, and Jim signing Meredith&#8217;s underwear cast.</p>
<p><img style="width: 27px; height: 24px" height="24" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/alimartell/ali.jpg" width="27" align="middle" /></p>
<p>okay&#8230;i&#8217;ve talked, on numerous occasions, how i&#8217;m incapable of doing a simple word verification&#8230;and you all probably think i&#8217;m insane&#8230;but here&#8217;sÂ a question for you&#8230;.while on urbanmoms today&#8230;i got smacked with this:</p>
<p><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/alimartell2/wordverification.jpg" /></p>
<p>anyone want to take a stab? before i stab someone in the throat&#8230; surely there&#8217;s another way to prove i&#8217;m not a spambot or what have you&#8230;right? there must be!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finished watching season 2 of Lost last night. jesus, this show is fantastic. even if people have the habit of saying, &#8220;oh, you&#8217;re watching Lost? Has Ana Lucia died yet?&#8221; um, no, she hasn&#8217;t. asshole. but thanks for <em>ruining</em> that for me. even the husband is a ruiner&#8230;&#8221;oh, i read somewhere that Charlie makes a reprisal in season 4&#8230;&#8221; um. thanks. now i know that Charlie dies. anyone else want to tell me who dies in season 3??? anyone? anyone? The good news is that in a couple of <strike>weeks</strike> days, when i&#8217;ve finished watching season 3 (hooray for torrents!), i&#8217;ll be all caught up&#8230;and ready to start season 4&#8230;.in fuckin&#8217; January. bah.</p>
<p><img style="width: 27px; height: 24px" height="24" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/alimartell/ali.jpg" width="27" align="middle" /></p>
<p>i&#8217;m sending my kids to a new school this year. which means&#8230;.new school, new carpool, new teachers, new friends, new moms. it&#8217;s all new for us. i&#8217;m really happy about the switch. it took exactly one minute of me being inside that building for me to know. the school is perfect. and it screams academic excellence (and i&#8217;m a big ole&#8217; nerd like that).</p>
<p>it was a big deal when i decided to switch them from their previous, more religious school, to this new one. friends took it personally, actually got angry. but this is what&#8217;s best for my family. where i can be myself (<em>remember when i gotÂ ripped a new oneÂ in the parking lot for daring to wear pants at pickup??!).</em> where my kids can be themselves and be around other kids who are, well, more like them.</p>
<p>tonight i have to take Emily to this first grade (oh, excuse me, grade one) parent-childÂ bbq thing. She&#8217;s all excited about it, already, at 6:15 this morning, picking outÂ her outfitÂ and how she wants to wear her hair.</p>
<p>I, on the other hand, am freaking out. <strong>you&#8217;d think that i was the one starting a new school.</strong> it&#8217;s all about me, folks. my kid? she&#8217;s easy. everyone like Emily. i sent her to a new camp and she made 100 best friends instantly. she talks to her counselors, high school kids, on the phone, on a regular basis (no, i&#8217;m not kidding. she&#8217;s actually FRIENDS with her counselors). she&#8217;s going to do GREAT. but me? <em>what if the other moms don&#8217;t like me? what if we have no one to sit with</em>? <em>what if i&#8217;m not wearing the right thing? what if i don&#8217;t know what to say?</em></p>
<p>i guess at the very worst, i know that Emily will be my friend.</p>
