My Recent Obsessions

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I love  "Dance Moms".  Those ladies are totally nuts, but I love them.  I wouldn't necessarily make some of the same choices, but I also realize everyone's situation is different and the show doesn't show everything.  It's TV and I'm sure the producers have some say in what is going on. That said.....what in the world is going on with Melissa?  She totally freaked out last night!  She said that they were all picking on her, or "jealous" of her, or prying into her personal life, but that is not what was shown on tv.  It looked like the moms were just trying to be friendly and ask her questions about her engagement.  Why is she being so secretive...that seems weird.  And Abby's comment about how you don't talk about weddings or divorces, that's nuts!  Of course you talk about weddings!  They are happy occasions!  I have never known a bride-to-be that didn't want to talk nonstop about their wedding. 

On another note, I totally love Holly and Nia.  Maybe it is because Holly is in education, or maybe it is because Nia reminds me of Calah, but I just was so happy last night that Nia was in a trio.  And I thought they did very well.  I'm sure in the next episode Abby will blame Nia for it not placing, but from what I could see, she kept up just fine.  And I loved at the end how Abby said she was happy with how they did at the competition, but anyone who watches the show will know that next week Abby will tell the girls about how poorly they did.  It's entertaining, but I hope that there is some nurturing behavior from Abby that is getting cut by the producers. 

And Cathy is crazy.  I was sad that one of her dancers was hurt last night, it's not them that I don't like..it's Cathy and Jill.  Again, I know they cut a lot out, but those two are sure portrayed as sneaky and backstabbers.  At any rate, love the show and I always look forward to the next week!

Another obsession I have, as of late, is Pintrest.  So, thank you Candace for getting me addicted.  And I have done an awful lot of projects.  I made Gabe a rocket pack, helped Calah make a tissue paper stain glass window for her room, made teacher gifts and aunt/uncle gifts for Christmas, made a candy cane wreath, a wall hanging for the hallway, and a storage situation for all my cords (ipod, kindle, phone, etc).  My most recent project was a travel toothbrush/toothpaste container made from a hand towel and some ribbon.  That way, when you get home, you can just throw it in the washing machine.  It definately did not turn out perfectly, but it still is pretty good.  I am really looking forward to trying them out this weekend on our trip.  I made 2, one for the kids, and one for Chuck and I.  I'll take some pictures of my projects tonight and get them up.  I love Pintrest and decided that I actually need to DO some of the things I have pinned.  I have big plans for some desserts (and other foods), too.  But a lot of them have to wait until after Lent (because they have chocolate in them, bummer).  Even if I am not pinning things, I still like looking at all the cool projects out there.

And Red Vines....I am currently loving Red Vines.  Everytime I have to pick up a snack for something, like a scrapbook event or a road trip, I'm getting Red Vines.  Just typing Red Vines makes me want some...I must stop myself.....

Anyway, those are my current obsessions.  Give me 3 weeks, I'm sure they will change!  :)
