I hate snow. Here is a pic of my front yard:

snowed in

I can’t tell how long I will be stuck. I moved my car closer to the road so there is a chance they may plow the road, but two years ago they didn’t plow my road. That year the snow wasn’t nearly as bad as this.  To make things worse, my dog is scared to go outside. ARGHHHHHHHHH! What am I supposed to do now? I give up. I hate this crap. If they don’t plow, I’m guessing I will be stuck for at least 2 weeks from today. I will run out of eggs! OH NOES!

Edited to add: Still snowing hours after I took that photo. I might be stuck for 3 weeks. Bummer.

Good news! Maybe?  They gave me until February 28th to finish my practicum. 🙂  The only problem is that there is no way I will be finished by then. I asked for 3 months, and they gave me 5 weeks. lol.  I’m working on it after work and on the weekend. I’m trying, but this stuff is hard and time-consuming.

Re: The Academy Awards. Directors/writers/producers need to put more people of color in their movies. Simple as that. I will not be boycotting watching the Oscars because I want to see Leonardo DiCaprio finally win what should have been his years ago.

I think the Oscars will have low ratings because most people don’t care about the nominees. The movies that were nominated weren’t seen by that many. But I care about Leo and the movie Spotlight.

I can’t believe Julie Delpy said she sometimes wishes she were African American. ROFL!!!! WTF. Actors and Actresses need to STFU. Except George Clooney. I like Delpy, by the way. So I was a little crushed to read that. OMG. What is going on? Where are their publicists? Where are their brains?

Treadmill update: I skipped one day this week. I felt guilty about it. For the most part getting on the treadmill is now a part of my daily routine. I have to do a review on it. I keep forgetting.

Planner update:

inkwell press planner

I have a new planner for 2016! I bought an “imperfect planner” from Inkwell Press. It was 40% off since it was irregular. I can’t find anything wrong with the planner. That’s good. I will continue to decorate until I run out of stickers. I know that spread looks a bit messy, but it gets the job done. Btw, I have the planner in my gold Kikki-K binder. Love it.

Bethenny, my love

My mind is messed up right now. I need to figure stuff out rather than blog about it. so I’m going to blog about pop culture.

1st edition: The Real Housewives of NYC

They are my favorite group. The OC season that recently ended was so boring. I feel embarrassed for most of them. Maybe it has something to do with them living the OC lifestyle. I simply don’t get it. Not that I can relate to the income of the NYC ladies but they don’t flash their money around…as much.

My favorite character is Bethenny Frankel. She had a difficult childhood, she’s funny, real, and has the best hair. 🙂 I also like Jill. Yes I am biased when it comes to those two. So far I also like Kelly but we’ve only seen her on one show.

Onto the premiere: Simon and Alex, you can’t hit someone and not expect them to hit back. Jill shouldn’t have mentioned the drunk thing to Cindy Adams but I know I would’ve fired back too. She ranted too much. She knows she went too far. I understand Alex’s anger. As Bethenny said several times, “She’s pissed!” She rubbed me the wrong way when she told Jill she was jealous. Telling people how they feel – no. If Simon is over it then c’est la vie. What’s the problem?

Am I the only one who thinks Simon comes across as uh, different because he’s from Australia? Perhaps it is just a culture thing. When Ramona & her husband were talking about him being bisexual (?), my jaw dropped. Is there more to this “simon is gay” thing then we are seeing? Liking fashion and shopping are lame reasons to think someone is gay or bi. There has to be more…right? Or Ramona is putting them simply because she doesn’t like them. (aha!)

Bethenny was perfect. We need to see more of her. I wish she had her own show.

Overall, I loved the premiere. I’ve only seen it once. I’m not a details person or a good writer. I just thought it would be fun to post about this show.

The Oscars are tonight. I’m not excited. I hate sweeps and knowing who will win. This year is so obvious. Why even bother watching? I hope Sean Penn, Anne Hathaway and Kate Winslet win. “Milk” was good but not best movie material. I was surprised that it even got nominated. Everyone knows that Slumdog Millionaire, and Heath Ledger will win. blah.
