The Real Housewives of NYC - Update (5.16.10)

This week was certainly a relief without Jill. I used to really like her, but fame has really gotten to her head. Everything is about her, whether it is or not. Her tacky product promotion and rumor mill mouth has made me tire of her. The best part about Jill is Bobby. I adore Bobby, however I’m still not sure what to think when Bobby talked to Alex. I suppose when you’re married to a nosey lady, who makes things her business when they’re not, it rubs off on you.

That being said, this does not mean I instantly switch to Bethenny’s ‘team.’ She is what is called a space-sucker. She drains and sucks every ounce of positive energy out of anyone around. It could be her snarky comments or her necessity to confront, but she is always someone I would run the opposite way from. She is in constant need all the time; reassurance, help, someone to talk to, and my favorite, ‘to clear the air.’ Watch her conversations with others on the show, it’s exhausting! She lies and then tries to place innocent. I love when she gets knocked up and then when she’s at Alex’s house she says to her new friend as she’s showing her the engagement ring, “He liked it so much he put a ring on it,” starting the friendship off in lies. I briefly felt sorry for her when her father died, but then her devil-mouth started saying how happy she was that he died and I thought, “You almost fell for her!” I understand she’s being honest, but she does not allow that type of honesty out of any of her friends without mentioning it behind their backs. The product promotion is the worst with Bethenny. Imagine how I feel about the devil doing a yoga dvd?

I used to really like Alex. I liked that she marched to the beat of her own drum and didn’t let it distract her from trying to climb on the same ladder as everyone else to the top. But this year, I feel as if she has ‘sold out.’ How can she yell at someone at women’s house party that the other person is in high school? The minute she decided to be ‘the messenger’ she was not in high school, but 5th grade for me. I mean, do you think Bethenny would come over and be your ‘friend’ if your house was still under construction?

Kelly? Ah geez, what happened there? I know there is editing we’re missing, and I know they were drinking a lot, but whoa! How about remove yourself or ignore Bethenny? Why stand in front of the train when you know you’re going to get hit? You know you stand no chance against that disgusting mouth, so why do you even try? You know you will only look like an idiot and then walk into a sliding glass door.

Sonja is a breath of fresh air, but I know that it’s really only a matter of time before the looney comes out of her too.

I have to ask… What is ‘Turtle Time?’ I’ve always heard the term ‘turtle’ used when you need to use the bathroom. It’s kind of what the dancing looked like, but who am I to judge a bunch of ladies doing the white man’s overbite? Ramona and her pinot binges are making for good entertainment this season. Thanks for all the slurring keeping it light!!

The show is like a soap opera. Friends split up and then in desperation befriend their previous enemies. The people we think are sane snap and lose it and then the people that display craziness all season end up smelling like a rose in the end and it’s preposterous, but I love it.

Yoga Studio Class Schedules

I am on a quest to find a yoga studio that offers an advanced class first thing in the morning. Yoga studio owners (should) know the power of yoga and how important it is to start your day with. So why is it that the morning classes are only offered for beginners? Are they assuming that we yogis roll out of bed and into our own sun salutes?

The studio I attend just changed their class schedule. It made more of an impact on my life than I think I should have let it, but a when you rely on yoga to get you through life (bad attachment problem) you can feel a huge hole when you don’t get your fix.

It’s a fairly new studio, so I try to understand that they’re trying new things. But I wish that they remembered that when I was filling out my application, they were promising more classes at more times, not less. The new schedule boasts (insert sarcasm) the first advanced class at 12pm every day. Also, they’ve halved their hot yoga class offerings. Just because it’s going to be hot outside, doesn’t mean people are not interested in hot yoga anymore. Au Contraire, Mon Frère, you couldn’t be more wrong.

It seems as though the yoga schedule was built around stay-at-home moms. When you have one beginning class at 6am and then several other types of classes starting at 9:30am, it tells me that you’re not too concerned with the worker bee’s who probably need yoga a lot too, if not more. When your only advanced classes are at 12pm & 6pm, it doesn’t offer too much flexibility to your true yogis, who are based in the practice and use it to function.

Is it ok to conclude a blog with a Twitter hashtag? If so, #justsaying.

The Return of the Real Housewives of New Jersey (pre-show post)

I've just set up this blog and am typing as fast as my little fingers will allow me to since I'm on the west coast and "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" on BravoTV is about to air on the east coast. I just wanted to put it out there that even though I'm a singleton, I absolutely adore the Real Housewives. I'm not here to spread hate like a lot of people like to do. I truly adore these women and if it seems I'm poking fun it's only because I'm jealous. It takes a lot for a woman to put herself out there and let it all hang out for the entire world to see through a networks editing eye, so I give them big thanks for sharing their entertaining and zany lives with us.

When the cycle of Housewives began I thought it was ok, but really fell for them after Teresa Giudice's table flip and coining of our favorite term, "Prostitution Whore." After that moment, I made it a point to catch the many reruns BravoTV showed. I also started stalking them, I mean, following them on Twitter.

I am anticipating over-the-top spending of cash, gaudy fashion and decor, exciting dinners where the kids are invited to watch destruction, lavished children, plastic surgery, lessons on family business and much much more. I can only hope!

In conclusion, I hope I'm not predicting anything, but after watching the NYC installment and watching American women split sides and then change favorites, I'm quite afraid we may all be rooting for Danielle in the end. Let's hope not.

Nothing To Say

I finally set this blog up and for the very first time in history, I have nothing to say. Lucky you. I'll be back when I have something worthwhile to share.
