this test and see how long you’re going to live! Fred’s supposed to kick off around the age of 85, and I’ll be following him at the age of 86. Since he’s a year older than me, that’ll give me two years to theatrically take to my bed and waste away. Sounds about right.

I love this 50 States project. I sent in a picture from Maine and one from Alabama. I need to look through my picture folders and find a Tennessee and a Florida. The Montana picture just blows me away and makes me want to pack up and move there NOW.

Remember the creepy zombie eyes from Monday? Sadly, they’re much less creepy and zombie-like today.
There’s still some red and yellow, but it’s not nearly as bad as Monday. I kinda miss my zombie eyes. Not enough to go through the whole thing again though, believe you me. Oh man, check out the grays on my head.
I had a hair appointment two weeks ago, but I ended up canceling it because sitting around having my hair done for almost two hours just bores the shit out of me. I didn’t realize the roots were getting so bad, though, so I bought a box of L’Oreal Medium Golden Brown, and I’m going to make Fred help me color my hair this weekend. Yes, I need help, because I have difficulty coloring my own hair. This surprises you?

I’m fairly sure that Fred has set up a spycam somewhere in the house – maybe even in multiple locations. Every day I head out to the garage and set up my weights or my stuff to do a FIRM video, and without fail, every single time I’m about to begin lifting weights or turn on the video, the phone rings. I stop what I’m doing and run in to answer the phone, because you never know when it’s going to be an emergency call from the school, or something big is going on that he wants to tell me about. Me (gasping for air): Hello? Fred: Hey. Whatchoo doing? I thought about not answering the phone, but I don’t think I’m capable of such an action. Maybe I need to turn it off so I can’t hear it from the garage. He’s obviously moved the spycam from it’s position by the bathroom, because he used to call EVERY single time I was in the bathroom or about to step into the shower, but he hasn’t done that in a while. Oh, wait. He called as I was about to step into the shower this morning. I guess there must be two spycams – one in the bathroom, one in the garage. Bastard.

I’m sad to say that our days of Nekkid! German! Men! are coming to a close, because I’m all tapped out on pictures. If I get any more in the future, I’ll be sure to share. Today, two pictures! One almost normal, the other much less so. And we bid adieu to our favorite naked German, AKT.
Goldi poses in his favorite white sweatpants. Such a nice boy. AKT does “pensive.” (click on the picture for the uncensored version)

How come Steak-Out sends packets of saltines with their salads? Do people generally eat crackers with salad? Am I missing out because I’m not a saltines lover? Do saltines just add that certain je ne sais quoi to salads, or what? And am I a freak for wanting a sirloin chef salad from Steak-Out for lunch when I could have had anything in the whole wide world? DAMN that’s a good salad.

Possible Survivor spoilers below; skip to the next section if you haven’t seen it yet.
Survivor ROCKED last night, didn’t it? I spent the first five or ten minutes giggling because I knew what was going to happen at the beginning. I’ve already taken a liking to Rupert (how could you not?) and the uber-geeky Ryan S, not to mention Sandra. At this point, Drake seems to have their shit together far more than Morgan (I mean, god in heaven. They had MONEY LEFT OVER, how stupid can you possibly be?), and when Rupert stole the shoes from Morgan, who were total dumbasses to leave their stuff unguarded, I about fell off the couch. Mark Burnett had to be cackling with glee when he saw that. I’m not sure whether I like Osten or not, but there’s no denying he has the best body of any of them, and it was nice of Mark Burnett to give us some eye candy. Fred thinks Tijuana looks a lot like Heidi from last season. I think that Nicole is a dead ringer for Lindsey from Survivor: Africa. And did I mention that I loved loved LOVED the beginning?

Spanky gives The Momma a disgusted look. Spanky’s big pink lips crack me up. This is Tubby yawning… This is Tubby “Meh”ing. Kind of hard to tell the difference, isn’t it?

  1. “Fred thinks Tijuana looks a lot like Heidi from last season.”
    OMG, I thought the exact same thing!! I said to my man, “She is a darker replica of Heidi, with even the same mannerisms and way of talking!”

  2. SURVIVOR SPOILER; SKIP THIS COMMENT IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE SHOW
    So what did you think of Nicole being voted off? I thought she was very stupid in the way she went about trying to form an alliance. I was not surprised at all that she was the first to go.
    Oh, and there’s a typo on the spuds page. I think it was in the word column . . . but don’t quote me on that.

  3. SURVIVOR SPOILER; SKIP THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE SHOW
    Michele – I think that Nicole pretty much asked to get her ass voted off, with the stupid-ass scheming. Lillian isn’t stupid and knew which way the wind was blowing, so it was a pretty smart move on her part to blow the whistel on Nicole.
    You’re right, we noticed the spud’s typo last night, but she’d already turned off the computer. 🙂

  4. Goodby nekkid German 🙁 but can’t help wondering if he was that pensive during the piercing of his little sac. Ouch!

  5. I swear Scott has a spy cam too! Everytime I sit down to eat..he calls..or whenever I sit down here at the computer to do something…he calls….I plop on the toilet….he calls. How is it that men can do that so well???????????

  6. Hi Robyn, Has your neighbor got his fence fixed yet? If not, how are the kitties handling the forced imprisonment. I had a cat as a kid that would drive you nuts until you let me him outside. We did not have a fence, but he was leash trained and had about a 50′ leash that gave him access to most of the back yard but no where else.

  7. Of the estimated 5,000 salads my husband has eaten since we married in 1978, every single ONE of those babies was enjoyed with a handful of Saltine crackers. I remember wondering if he was onto something, but decided pretty quickly that he wasn’t … at least in my opinion. All these years later, it’s how I set the table: plate, napkin, utensils, salad bowl, dressing, and SALTINES!

  8. That was definitely the best first episode of Survivor. Well, since the first one anyway. I like Rupert also and there are several very nice-looking men…Burton and Shawn come to mind. Andrew isn’t bad either. 🙂
    With Big Brother being such a disappointment this year, I could hardly wait for Survivor. I am happy now.

  9. Val – nope, they haven’t fixed their fence yet. The cats are pretty much okay, though they spend a lot of time looking sadly out the window. I have to say that if Mr. Fancypants was still around he’d probably be shitting on the floor!

  10. I love Survivor!!!!! Rupert is my favorite. I about died laughing when he stole the other teams stuff. I was also coming out of my seat during the challenge thinking the other team was going to win. The winning team did all the work with clearing the course. I thought they should have had to take different courses not the same one.

  11. Elaine, I definitely thought they should have had to take different courses as well, that was really not fair at all!

  12. My husband and daughter cannot eat salads without crumbling a handful of saltines first, and then pouring ranch over them!!!

  13. the Spud’s page looks great, I still remember my first webpage! hopefully she’ll catch on faster than I did!
    Survivor was awesome, I can’t wait til the next one!

  14. Survivor was awesome!!! Rupert RULES!!! I wonder if those dumbasses even wondered where their stuff went.
    Yes, lots of eye candy, Andrew is very handsome, but keep the suit on- he’s a little skinny!

  15. PS- AKT scares the hell out of me- makes me happy I am NOT single.
    What the hell is he thinking so hard about- he looks like he is posing for “Thinker with Helmet”

  16. Robin,
    I loved Survivor last night! ok now to change the topic. If you go to http://www.123stitch.com and click on FUN AND FREE then scroll down to CHRISTMAS SMILEY ORNAMENT you can get a cute pattern of a smiley face ornament. When I saw it I definatley thought of you and just HAD to let you know. Also I thought Spuds site was great, I will be emailing her for advice soon I am sure. 🙂

  17. Yay Survivor rocks!!
    It is too early to say who will be my favorite since they are still hydrated and fed they are still in a decent mood, but let them start getting hungry and tired and their personalities morph!! That is when you see the “real” personality come through and then it gets good.
    I am really excited about this season, it seems to gonna be a good one!
    Spud’s page is cute..looking forward to the next “interview” LOL. For some reason I almost knew what Tubby’s answers would be. (wonder why??)

  18. The saltines must be a southern thing. As a fellow New Englander, I’ve never heard of such. Crackers are for soup people. Croutons are for salad!! 🙂
    As for the tubby pics, its quite clear between the yawn and the meh! The yawn features the closed eyes, while he’s fully wide eyed for the meh. Like anyone he wants to see your reaction to his grievences.

  19. AKT is growing on me. He seems sweet.
    Thanks for the invite, but Yourcity isn’t really on the way home. I am anxious to go home, except that I have to clean the tape residue off the windows. Mostly, I just wanna sleep. Phooey.

  20. Oh, and “do not doubt for one instant that I would fail in my mission”
    You may want to rephrase this.

  21. Robyn – check out the 50 states TX picture of the sunrise. That’s the view from my parent’s back porch. gotta love it!

  22. Sharon, that’s gorgeous! Texas is one of the states I’ve never visited and would love to one day.
    Susan – thanks for the link! I think I’m going to stitch that as soon as I get around to buying the right thread. Very cute. 🙂
