Skip in my step on a Monday?

For those of you who know me even just a bit, you know I am NOT a morning person. And Mondays are the worst! I don't usually sleep very well as I tend to wake up at different points during the night. When I dream, I usually have some really strange dreams. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, I had a dream that Sister #1 was having a baby as a surrogate for someone else. Don't ask me why the hell I dreamed that, especially since she's *cough* a little out of the age range for birthin'. That dream was tame considering some of the bizarre things I have dreamed about recently. I mean, one night I dreamed Reggie Jackson (famous baseball player for those who don't know) stole my Jeep. What the... ?? Don't ask me where these things come from.

Do you ever have a dream that's so good that when you wake up you're kinda pissed that it was just a dream? I had one of those last night, and OMG did I want to throw my alarm clock when it went off. Some of you may recognize this guy...

He's been on commercials, various TV shows, and he used to be on As the World Turns playing Mike Kasnoff. I happened to see him on a commercial yesterday (Breathe Right strips), so I guess that's why his image was planted in my head. On the show (ATWT), he was the sexy construction worker who was a romantic type and knew how to TALK to and treat a woman. I know you guys are saying that he had to be fiction if that were true, but Mark Collier played him well. I always hoped his career would take off after leaving the show, but I haven't really seen him in much.

Anyway, in my dream, we had this majorly hot, romantic time together (and I'm not talking about sex, although that too!) where he hinted at asking me to marry him. Now if you know me, you know I'm not one to be pining away to get married. In fact, I've been single so long that half the time I forget I was ever married. It was a LONG time ago. (Okay, scrub picture of ex-hubby off my brain now and get back to Mark!)

So pressing on... I know I said it wasn't about the sex, and it wasn't. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. It's like one of those "intimate" moments where touching each other's fingertips can be erotic. Ya know what I'm talking about? Okay, maybe I'm not describing it well, but it was HOT! HOT, I tell you! So of course, I went to tell a friend of mine that I thought he was going to propose and we were all excited about it. Then my damn alarm went off... After I was done throwing it across the room   beating the thing senseless  hitting the snooze button, I'll admit I had a smile on my face. *sigh*  I was none too happy about missing the rest of the dream, but it was refreshing to have a good dream and not a strange dream. 

Notice, I don't consider it strange to have a dream about an actor who I'll never get my hands on. Ha! But then, I guess it's strange I'd be so excited about getting married with the way my life has been in the romance department. But who the hell would tell him no?

It sure as hell wouldn't be me! Now, though I hate Mondays, I'll admit I had a little bit of a skip in my step when I came to work this morning. Yeah, it was THAT good of a dream. I think I'm going to have to figure out exactly what I did last night before bed to hope I can continue the dream. Fat chance, I know. 

Have a great week, everyone! At least I started the week off right for the ladies, and the guys have a target to throw wise cracks at. 

Spartacus is back!

If you didn't watch Spartacus: Blood and Sand last year, you need to. Talk about an intense drama series! It was on Starz, and I watched it on Netflix. Personally, I think there's a lot for both women and men to enjoy the show, and every episode left me wanting more.

When the star, Andy Whitfield, went in for a physical to start filming the second season, they discovered he had non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He fought the cancer aggressively, and they decided to start filming a prequel they are calling Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. This short season will show the rise of the House of Batiatus before Spartacus came along. It starts tonight! And it looks like we'll be able to see it on Netflix tomorrow. I am so excited!

However, I am sorry to say that it looks like his cancer came back in September, so Andy will not be filming any time soon. It's a shame because he was working hard to get in shape and train for the show when it showed back up. I sincerely wish him and his family all of the best, whether he can come back to the show or not.

After just Googling it, it looks like the producers decided to replace him 3 days ago, and Andy approved of the replacement. It's Liam McIntyre, who I've never heard of, but they said he used to be on Pacific.

Most of the other pictures I found weren't as flattering as that one, but I hope this joker bulked up like they say he is. He has some big shoes to fill... er, loincloths... er, armor to fill because Andy was hot, Hot, HOT! It says that Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller were considered, so I hope they didn't make a mistake.

Wentworth and Dominic source

I almost think Wentworth would have been too "pretty" for the part of a Gladiator, but he was pretty intense on Prison Break. Dominic however... *sigh* ... I wouldn't even need to watch him as much as hear that sexy voice. (Wiping my chin and trying to get it together here.) Okay, who am I fooling, he's not hard on the eyes at ALL! I think they wanted someone a little less known though to take over the role, and I can understand that.

Which brings up something I was meaning to post about when I found out Spartacus was coming back tonight. What is it about men/women that attracts you? As far as body parts go, I love a nice chest. Muscular arms are a plus, too. But honestly, a beautiful smile is a must and if it is surrounded by dimples all the more better!

My sister picks on me all the time because sometimes I'll say someone is hot that she doesn't understand. Normally, it's a voice that will tip the scales for me. Dominic has one of those voices, deep and powerful. But some you might not have thought about before are....

Max Martini is that handsome fellow to the right, and he used to be on the TV show The Unit. Even his name is yummy. My sister never understood why I found him sexy until she started watching the show with me. Now she gets it. He just has this gravelly, deep voice that can make my ovaries stand up and applaud!

I just watched the movie The Losers over the weekend. I don't think I had even seen it advertised, but it was one of my Netflix suggestions, so I watched it. Enter Jeffrey Dean Morgan into my life, and bring your booming voice with you! It looks like he has a bunch of movies coming out soon, so you might see him more. Unfortunately, he played a quiet-type in the movie I just saw, so I didn't get to hear nearly enough of him. Oh, and he has perfect pearly whites and dimples. 

Okay, so I'll quit boring you for now with who makes me drool. Tell me what kinds of things you are attracted to in a person. And yes, this is your chance to be completely shallow! So don't be giving me cheesy things. I'm sure I'll get accused of being horny again, but I couldn't help myself when I realized Spartacus was premiering.

Oh, and don't forget to tell me how you feel about Spartacus if you watch it. If you don't watch, you are missing out!

UPDATE: I just hit 50 followers today, so you all rock! I hope you all decide to stick around because I am thrilled to have you here. More funny Mom stories and things to come.

Crazy Housewife of Beverly Hills

I feel like I have been neglecting my blogging friends this week. I have two papers that were due the other day that I luckily got an extension on, but I wanted to write you guys a little something. I am trying to catch up on your blogs when I can, so please don't think I'm ignoring you if you haven't seen me comment much. I keep telling myself I only have until the end of June and then I can be done with school forever! For any young people who are thinking of not finishing now, DON'T DO IT! Just get it over with, and then you can live your life. I was one class shy of my degree when I stopped going when I was young. Yes, I know! I've heard it from my family and friends my whole life, but now I should be done by June. The only thing is right now I have a 4.0 GPA, and I was in the mid 3 range back then. Maybe I'll do a "why I never finished then" post when I'm done... or maybe before then.

Anyway, I have never watched those Real Housewives shows until a few months ago. I was bored and saw the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on my Primetime on Demand channel so I decided to watch an episode to see what it was like. Now I watch this show, and I think Camille is one of the craziest people I have ever seen. I mean, come on! Have any of you watched this show? When she said that Kyle told her no one wanted to be around her without Kelsey, that was just BIZARRE! (For those who don't know, Camille is Kelsey Grammer's soon to be ex-wife.) They play a clip of her saying at the beginning of every episode that it's time for her to step out of her husband's shadow to shine. So... HELLOOOOO! That is in YOUR head, not Kyle's.

From left to right in that picture are Kim, Lisa, Adrienne, Kyle, Taylor, and Camille. Camille is bat-shit crazy as far as I can tell. She talks about what a sweet person she is, but when does she show us that side? She acts like if she talks in a soft, calm voice then it doesn't matter what she says. What the.. ?? 

And get this... You know the show Medium? Camille and Kelsey apparently created that show based on their real friend, Allison DuBois. She was on the show, got drunk, and said some things I would never say even about people I can't stand.

Source

Personally, I'll never watch her show again simply because of the way she acted, but anyway... This is supposed to be a really good friend of Camille's. They talk about how she can get into people's heads and tell if their husbands are cheating, etc. Explain to me why she never told Camille (who should have had 100 clues beforehand) that Kelsey was cheating on her? What the hell good is there to have a psychic (or sidekick as Lisa called her) or medium as a good friend if she can't save you some pain by telling you something like that?

 

Anyway, there is my guilty pleasure rant for the day for your amusement. If you don't watch the show, you should. Tonight I think is when they reveal the episode where Kelsey tells her he's done with their marriage. Give me your thoughts if you watch the show, or even if you don't. Personally, I love Kyle. She's my kinda people, and I love that she doesn't take any crap. Next in line, I really like Lisa and Adrienne. 

Back to school work, I guess. (In my best whiny voice possible...) Do I really have to??
