I’m a Nelson Ratings person!

Oh I’m so excited. They’re sending me a journal and everything. Only problem is- in the worst tv watcher ever. Every show I’ve loved has gotten cancelled

Selfie- modern day My Fair Lady! What’s not to love???

Dallas- come on, the Dallas reboot was so awesome. And John Ross was sooooo hot. Did you notice his eyes were 2 different colors? Rwar!

Telenovella- This was cute! About a soap opera star that couldn’t speak Spanish. Loved it.

GCB- based off a book that wasn’t all that great, it was cute- and ended on a cliff hanger. Whyyyyyyy? And the cliff hanger wasn’t in the book!!!!!

So there. That’s the last few shows I loved. I watched Gossip Girl from episode one till way after the writers lost interest. I gave up on Revenge. I give up on a lot of shows... (sorry Jamie) 

Hopefully there is some decent tv for me to journal. Rick and Morty FTW! 

Let’s talk AHS Cult

I hate clowns. Needless to say, I haven’t been a fan of this season so far. Well last night’s show finally redeemed itself. Let’s chat! If you haven’t seen season 3 of American Horror Story: Cult and want it to remain a surprise stop reading now. Move on, watch a make up tutorial or something, nothing to see here. This is not the blog post you are looking for. Meanwhile....

Spoilers ahead

Theories ahead

All clear?

Ok good.  So the opening sequence with the lady and her husband conquering her fear; only to be killed by the clown possee the same way? Ooooooooo! Ok so the doctor has to be in on it. He has to exploit people by their fears. Does he murder them when they are cured? Conquer your fear and get murdered? A friend (thanks Jonathan!) pointed out that the doctor had smiley face buttons in his office. Everything is a clue in AHS. 

And wow when Kai slapped Meadow! Yasssss! I wanted to slap her too for that stupid statement. So obviously they’re part of the cult.  And hot cop and neighbor dude are obviously a thing. So how did Oz get the video of Ally and Winter? I can’t believe Ivy slapped her! A lot of hitting going on in this episode. 

So both Ally and crazy neighbors have the smiley face Target on their house somewhere. However, the neighbors are part of the Kai cult. Now is the Kai Cult the same as the Doctor Cult? Is this like west side story AHS version? They’ve burst into song on previous seasons, so it would not surprise me. 

Lets talk names. Ivy, Winter, Meadow. Even Kai means Ocean in Hawaiian. And the doctor- Dr Rudy? Rudy means famed Wolf. A wolf in docs clothing maybe. Hmmmmmmm. I see on IMDB we will be getting a character named Serenity. Cult member? Probably. 

Who is the mastermind behind the cult? Who is the leader? I think we have just scratched the surface.  Can’t wait for next week!!!!!

Book Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass

This is a young adult novel. I had heard good things, and decided to give it a go. This book is set in a future where the United States no longer exist. North America is now Illena and is ruled by a monarchy. The prince needs to find a wife, so they have a selection. Kind of a Hunger Games/Lottery type, but with catty bitches instead of people trying to kill each other. The story follows a Selection hopefully called America. She is in a lower caste (apparently they've gone to a caste system now) and she is selected in the bridal pool. 

I could not put this book down. It wasn't all romance, it's about adjusting and coming to terms with heartbreak, and some suspicious activity. Why did the reporter have a weird star shaped broach? What are the rebels looking for? 

I really enjoyed this book, and I'm about to start on the next in the series, The Elite. 

Find it here: The Selection https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062059947/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_jiFVzb981J12J

Rating 10/10 would read again. 

I hate mornings too.

Devil baby hates to wake up. He's going to be one of those kids. I can see it now, the copious amounts of ice water I am going to have to throw on him, the yelling, the pleading, and the late days to work.  Without further ado, here's the foreshadowing.

Hurricane Harvey Fund

I don't know if you know, but my area was impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We were very fortunate, however, many of my Co-Workers and Friends were not. My employer has set up a GoFund Me for those associates who have lost everything. Link is below. If you can and want to help, please do so. You can even be anonymous!  The link is below.

They have really done so much for us, the support has been overwhelming. From arranging RVs for people to live, to arranging a truck for food. They also help gut homes. Thank you so much!!!

Kids are assholes.

There, I said it. Kids are assholes. It just gets worse, they don't sleep as babies, terrible twos, homework fights, puberty, teenage angst, and then the years you spend being a complete moron while they know everything. Kids are assholes. With every eyeroll and buuutttt moooooom, I think "asshole kids". It's become my mantra. Lately, Devil Baby, had been shhhhhhhing me every time I tell him something he doesn't want to do. I guess he thinks it's going to work. Maybe I'll try it out and see. The hubs wants me to make him a sammich? Shhhhhhhhh ha!! Now I love the little assholes, all four of them. They're a lot of fun, when they're not plotting against me or locking themselves in their rooms for whatever reason. Oh the angst!
