Cool Juice #Fail

This is why sometimes I pass on trying new things....when I don't like it, it's basically money wasted. This juice tastes like fruit AND coconut. I really don't care for juices with coconut in them. I like coconut....just not in a juice. However, when I scanned the ingredients there's no coconut listed.0_O So I don't know where the taste is coming from....Reign even said it was nasty and he usually likes most things. Slowly, he's trying to finish it off. I won't be touching it again though. The is the longest juice has every lasted in our house. I believe it's been almost 3 weeks.

Situational TV Shows

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! We did. All I wanted was chocolate and Reign filled that request. So I was one happy preggie lady. :D

There's this new show that comes on called One Born Every Minute. It premiered on the Lifetime channel a few weeks. I don't get to see it on the night it comes on (because of The Game), but I do watch it on Demand when I get a chance. This tv show is recorded in a hospital in Ohio (can't remember the name) and they capture the women arriving to the hospital and they take us through their delivery until they give birth. I find the show very funny. The men are....let's just say they couldn't buy a clue. Not all, most. One guy couldn't even sit still! He kept talking about his ADD. One guy told his girlfriend to, "Breath, man." Are they serious? OBEM started reminding me of when I used to look at Bridezillas before Reign & I wed in Aug '09. I watched that show faithfully. It always had me cracking up.


After I got married though, I stopped watching it. The so-called "bridezillas" annoyed me. I went from fan to foe in a matter of months. I wonder if that will be the case with One Born Every Minute. That's why I titled this post situational tv shows. I'm preggie so the show relates to my 'situation' per se...but will I still be watching it after I give birth in May? Probably not!

Macho, Macho Man!

Last Thursday, snow was predicted to hit Houston. Didn't we move here to get away from the snow?? Anyway, that night I stayed up late (and so did Reign; he'd decided to work from home on Friday) because I wanted to see when it hit. I waited, waited, and waited, but snow never came. It kept being pushed back until finally the prediction was that it would snow Friday morning. We did get freezing rain on Thursday night though, but I didn't think anything of it. Snow never came though.

So Friday morning, I hear someone tumbling down the steps. Not someone walking-TUMBLING. #ohmy I immediately assumed it was the man who lives right across from us because he's always running up and down the steps. When he does the whole building shakes! It's extremely annoying. I guess he tried to run down the steps that day and.....and instead tumbled. We inspected the steps and sure enough there was ice on each one courtesy of the freezing rain. Didn't he see the ice?!?! Obviously not, or maybe he thought because he was a man, he would be fine.We'll call him Macho Man #1. It was below freezing so that ice wasn't going anywhere that day.

Later on that day, Reign (Macho Man #2) declared that he was going to the workout room. o_O -___- Wth??! Going where? How? There was ice on the steps! Did he wanna end up like the man across the hall?? MEN. We'd already talked about and AGREED that the man was crazy for even trying to venture out with ice on the steps. So I guess he was gonna prove that 2 crazy men lived on the 2nd level. I immediately protested and told him it was a stupid idea. I copped a serious attitude after that because I knew he was going to try to go. I guess he assumed he too would be okay because he's a man.

Then Macho Man #2 goes outside with the hammer and proceeds to break through the ice with the hammer. That was a no-go. Then, the woman across the hall opens her door. Her's the convo...

Woman: "Are you trying to go down the steps?"

Reign:"I'd like to."

Woman: "Don't even try! My husband fell down the steps this morning! He tried to grab onto the rail, but he said it was covered in ice too. It's not worth it."

They chat a little while longer. Reign comes back amused and I'm flat out cracking up!!! I'd already told him it was a bad idea, but he didn't wanna listen to me. A complete stranger basically had to talk him out of it. I laughed about this for a good while. (I'm still laughing!!!)

Every time he does crap like this Macho Man comes to mind.

Village People - Macho Man (version long)

Sidenote: I just found out from my mother we could've used our sea salt to perhaps help melt the ice. Btw, The ice was gone the next morning.

Our New Love: Criminal Minds

Reign and I don't really watch a lot of television together. Ya'll already know we love The Game! I watch more tv than Reign, but there's not a lot of shows we like together. I may be looking at House Hunters and Reign will come in and look at bits & pieces of it. That's about it though. Criminal Minds took us completely off guard....

Since moving to Houston, we've been catching episodes of Criminal Minds off and on. Not on purpose though. Just every now and then while lounging in bed. So gradually we began loving the show without knowing it. I love the BAU team. :D We even started looking for it on tv. (Mind you, we had no idea Criminal Minds premiers a new episode every week on CBS). Well, most of the episodes are new to us because we haven't been watching it for the past 5 years. Mostly, on a Saturday or Sunday night, we'd find CM marathons on the A & E channel. Man...so yesterday the hubs and I were chatting & decided to look up the show to find out more about it. I found out a new season started in September and we've been missing all these episodes all these years (since '05)!!! -_____-

So imagine how we both feel. Here it is 5 years and 6 seasons later and we're just now getting on the bandwagon. Don't you hate when that happens?! This is exactly how I felt after I started shopping at thrift stores in 2010. All those cheap deals I missed over the years...but I'm getting off the subject. The Criminal Minds dvd collection on Amazon is about $130. We're thinking about getting it so we stop just catching random episodes? We won't stop looking at the ones we do catch though. I don't have that kind of self control. This show is just too good! ;-)

Just in case you don't know about Criminal Minds, you can find out more info here:

Dr. Spencer Reid is my fave!

New episodes show on CBS Wednesdays 8/9c. Starting this week, we're looking at them on ION on Monday, Tuesdays, AND Wednesdays. One even comes on at the same time as The Game, lol. Crazy. We chose The Game though. ;-) Oh and they're premiering a new spinoff called Criminal Minds:Suspect Behavior on Feb. 16th.

We Agree: Nature's Own

I meant to post this last year sometime. You guys might not think this is surprising or important, but trust me...it is. While living in Virginia, something monumental happened in our marriage.


We finally agree on the same brand of bread: Nature's Own. Not the the same exact kind of course, but the same brand. For years, we've been buying separate brands, but that is no more. So instead of agreeing to disagree, we just...agreed. Nature's Own is our favorite bread now. :-)

Can you guess which one is mine???
