That's right, she is toothless! No yummy corn on the cob for my baby girl for a while :) I promised her I could cut it off! It seems that Myer gets more teeth every time Kailyn loses one. Right now he is working on some top molars. Those things are boogers! He's had kind of a hard time with them :( I finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, and it was FANTASTIC! I can't wait to watch the movie. (Not that having my "Edward" in it will help at all and I LOVE Reese Witherspoon) I wasn't really sure what to read next, so I went to the "Recommended For You" section at the Kindle Store. I was slightly intrigued by a book called These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf, so I downloaded it. 
Let me just tell you, it is good! It is very well written and in a manner that you don't want to put it down. Each chapter is written from a different character's point of view and gives you so many different sides to the story. Heather Gudenkauf has another book The Weight of Silence, that has somewhat of a similar storyline to the one I'm reading now. I'm downloading it next! Recently I read a couple of books by Pam Lewis, as well, and I wasn't sure how I felt about them at first, but they both ended up being pretty good. I've got a list of books going now that I'm going to try out. Maybe a couple of Sara Gruen's other books and an author named Carol Cassella, who is said to write similarly to Jodi Picoult. I know I should probably be doing something more productive, like working out, when I put the kids to bed, but I really consider that my "me" time and would much rather read! Since I got my Kindle for Christmas I've read 10 books. These Things Hidden is number 11. Only one of them was a flop and took me a really long time to read. I finished it, but it was terrible. I do not recommend The False Friend by Myla Goldberg.
Well, it's only a 4 day week, so I'd better get my rear in gear! Have a great week!

Olivia Ward won Biggest Loser! OMG she looked fantastic! And so did her sister Hannah! They were my favorites all season and they were so supportive, dedicated and positive, I'm so happy for them! They were also the first sister team to make it to the finale together, and they took 1st and 2nd - AMAZING! 
There were a few disappointments on the Live Finale too, though. I guess my biggest let down was Courtney. I really expected her to be fit and trim and still doing great on her journey, but that wasn't the case. She had only lost like 8-10 pounds since leaving the ranch and didn't seem as dedicated. Father/Daughter team Moses and Kaylee were downers too. Moses was the first contestant on the ranch to lose 100 pounds before being eliminated, but hadn't lost much more than that when he hit the scale for the last time. And Kaylee.....oh, Kaylee. She was one of the smaller girls on the show to start with. She'd been hitting big numbers and then plateaued when she gave up. One week she wanted to go home and the next week she wanted to stay. Drama. I was super excited when she finally left and honestly didn't believe her whole spill about how she'd "learned so much and was going to be so wonderful at home". When she was eliminated, she'd lost a total of seventy-some pounds, and when she weighed in on the live finale she'd only lost a total of fifty-some. Doing good at home, Kaylee? Yikes. And then there's Rulon. The Olympic Medalist Wrestler who couldn't believe how much weight he'd gained and had let down his family, friends and fans. Of course you know that my husband is a wrestler through and through. Obviously we were both immediately drawn to Rulon and were sure he was going to be amazingly dedicated and blow the competition out of the water! Right. Was that before or after he got caught eating a whole bag of tortilla chips in his room, or before or after he just came to a weigh in and said, "Well, I'm ready to home, I've learned all I need to, bye". He didn't even have the courage to show up to the finale. I so wish he would have. I bet he's gained all his weight back! He was supposed to be such an inspiration to athletes! Disappointment.
Don't get me wrong, so many contestants looked great and they truly are dedicated and so motivating! What amazing stories!
Um, did you happen to see Lady Gaga perform? So I get it, she's pretty "unique", but I do like her music. Her stage performances are a bit much, though. I can deal with her crazy clothes, fine, but she truly acted like she was having sex with her dancer on that rock! Holy cow! Kids watch American Idol too, you know! Sheesh!
Speaking of the dancer she almost had sex with, it was Mark, a past contestant and last season All Star from So You Think You Can Dance! He's one of her primary dancers! Crazy! 
PS, So You Think You Can Dance starts TONIGHT! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! I'm also excited that today is my Friday and we don't have to come back to work until Tuesday! It's like a mini-vacation! I'm going to do some reading on Water for Elephants, which is pretty fantastic, and play with my baby boy tons in hopes of not bawling all weekend because Kailyn still has another whole week at her dad's! Ugh, I'm hopeless :( but I sure do LOVE MY BABIES!
Please stay away, yucky weather, and let us all have a relaxing long weekend ;)
Kailyn's dance pictures are this Friday and I'm freaking out. Seriously. I can't fix cute hair :( I did a tester on her last night, and she said she really liked it, but the more I thought about it, I didn't. I'm going to try a different one tonight that I think will be more versatile for the Production and hope she likes it!
I haven't watched Biggest Loser from Tuesday (Cathy's birthday), but I'm excited for the finale next week. I'll definitely have time to catch up before then, considering it's supposed to rain until the end of eternity starting today. I am also looking forward to the finale of American Idol, I think. Tonight will reveal the top two. I'll be stoked for the finale if Haley Reinhart makes it! I LOVE HER! And after Idol, So You Think You Can Dance will start back up! It is, by far, my FAVORITE show!!!!! YAY!
Guess I'd better do some work. Maybe in the midst, I'll think of some clever and witty things to blog about.....but I wouldn't hold your breath.
By the way, in case you live under a rock, Osama Bin Laden is DEAD! Woot Woot! You can run but you can't hide you crazy nutbag! I know, I know, violence doesn't end violence, but honestly, do you know how many people died at the hands of that douschebag? Not just ours, his own too! That dude didn't give a crap about anyone but the voices in his head and the world is a better place without some looney tune brainwashing innocent children into killing machines for his insane domination plans! And honestly people, OBL's death is obviously an American victory. I've not seen any coverage where President Obama said he personally killed OBL, so get over it. Everyone is always looking for a reason to hate him in some way. It's just the way people are, if we had another president, they'd look for reasons to hate that person too. GET OVER IT PEOPLE! Let's rejoice in our freedom and be thankful for those who fight for us to maintain that freedom (with their orders coming from our president)! We are a great team, this United States of America, let's act like it! I am 100% proud to be an AMERICAN!
