First of all, whatever you do – do not accidentally log on to Bravo’s Website to vote for Angela’s Mother (and also to enter to win an iPod) because you may find out who got kicked off before the end of the episode. And then, you would be very, very sad. And, also, whatever you write about the person below wouldn’t mean as much.

Secondly – I am bored as hell here, and also lonely. So, normally Zane would hear all this – but he’s in Hawaii. So, you get to hear it :)

Vincent – A – I hate him B- Everyone knows that people from Europe are stupid, so good thing he spoke to Uli’s mom like a child.

Laura – “5, 6, or 7 kids. It doesn’t make a difference. I’ll just throw it on the pile with the rest of them.” I am DEFINITELY getting parenting advice from her when Zane and I have a baby.

Robert – I love him because he designs for Barbie – but I’d like him to not speak ever again. His voice induces vomiting. FOR REAL.

Michael – next time I visit Kathina in Atlanta, I am tracking him down, cause I want him to design a coffee filter wardrobe for me. That is all reversible. Because, that way, I only need to unpack half my clothes next time I move. And, I’ll still have twice the outfits. Love that!

Okay, to finish, Jeffrey totally should have got canned. Cause, he’s an ass. And, he made Angela’s mom cry. And, never make someone’s Mama cry. NOT NICE.

And, does anyone else thing that Kayne and Robert MAYBE had a little something going on? Well, I sure hope so, cause I love them both.

Awright, It is clearly my bedtime.

Gelsey and I are sick. She keeps sneezing and I keep sneezing AND whining. Also, she has not gotten out of her bed all day. I have been out of my bed, because I have furniture to refinish and crafts to do. Photos to follow, I promise.

Furthermore, Zane is in Hawaii, and so what if he’s working. He’s in HAWAII. But, no worries, he promised that I could come next time.

I really think though, that someone should come stay the night with me. I’m scared – my house is making creepy noises. VERY CREEPY. And, then, after you stay the night with me, you can help me pick out window treatments in the morning. Yay!! It will be SO FUN!

I think I may insist we get a ferocious dog this weekend, but, one that also will cuddle with me. And, let me call it Peaches, or Dolly.

Okay, I am going around to make sure all the doors are locked. And, to call Zane to make sure he’s not at the beach, or having any fun. Cause, we’re SICK over here.

So exhausted!

My mom and I had the girls yesterday. She picked them up about one and then came to my house. They showed up both dressed in jeans and long sleeved shirts – it was 93 yesterday in Portland. So, we quickly headed to Old Navy and bought cool outfits for them to wear.

Off to the zoo we went. And, sadly, neither one of them had EVER been. I feel badly that I hadn’t taken them before. Alana is four – so I surely would have thought she’d been before.

We had a ball – we saw monkeys, giraffes, elephants, etc. And, we rode the train! After we were all done, I let the girls each pick out a stuffed animal at the Gift Shop. Alana chose a giraffe – no surprise, as that was her favorite animal (Auntie’s too!). And, the little one picked a Warty Pig. Strange little girl.

We discovered later that the girls’ mom hadn’t packed ANY diapers for Angelina (and, p.s. they were spending the night). Also, we learned that she packed flannel, footed sleepers for them to sleep in.

Part of me thinks she did this on purpose because she knows I usually buy them new outfits, socks, underwear (for Alana) when we’re out. But, the other part of me thinks she’s that clueless.

What can I do? I love them, and I take care of them the best I can when I am with them – but is there anything beyond that? I feel like whenever we get them, they need a bath and to be fed. It breaks my heart to know they aren’t being taken care of like they should.
