friends.

Since Jack came into our lives, I've had more of an opportunity to watch daytime tv. Of course, there really is nothing of substance to watch (except the occasional show on the Food Network or HGTV), but at 4 on one of the local channels, Friends is aired back to back.

I watched Friends in its heyday and though I have many favorite episodes, the clip below is one of my all-time favorites. In fact, just watching the 13 second clips makes me laugh out loud.



What about you, what's your favorite episode or moment from Friends?

making a statement.

I love me some Gossip Girl and last Monday many of the characters were rocking one of my favorite jewelry looks: the statement necklace.

Below are several screenshots.

who has two thumbs and won a tv Saturday night?

I do!

At the banquet for the 2nd Annual Billy Khourie Memorial Golf Tournament there was a raffle for several big ticket items: an all expenses paid trip to Vegas, floor seats to a Thunder game and a signed basketball, an iPad. Oh, and a 40" Samsung TV.

With the thought that raffle tickets were only $15, J was going to buy 2 for the tv and one for the Vegas trip. Turns out the tickets were $30 a piece, but he'd already ordered up what he wanted, and since it was for charity, he couldn't really ask for his money back.

And, really, in the end, we won a bomb TV for the total cost of $75 {his brother gave us $15 for part of one of the tickets}. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.

Now our main issue is figuring out where to put it.

I'd say it's a good problem to have.

Well, that made me nervous!

Do you watch Big Brother? If you don't, you should definitely start. Here are my reasons:

1. It's on 3 {yep...threeeeee} nights a week. Too much to handle, you say? No...it's awesome! So much happens each time, it's so good.

2. This show keeps you guessing. Each episode is completely different. Who's going to win Head of Household (HOH)? Who will win the Power of Veto (POV)? Who's going to be evicted? Never.a.dull.moment.

and, 3. Everyone has to have a guilty pleasure, right? This happens to be {one of} mine!

Anyway, tonight was awesome! But, before it all began, I was pretty nervous. Jeff was given the power of coup d'etat by America, and this was final week to be able to use it, or he lost it.

He did not disappoint! He took down both of Chima's nominations and put up Natalie & Jessie {yessss!} And, eventually Jessie {sucka!} was sent home. Good riddance. You didn't win BB10 and you ain't {I know...} winnin' BB11.

This guy lost. Twice.

If you watch, you know that Chima was not happy at all. I didn't realize that both Jeff and {former HOH} Chima could play in the new HOH competition...a little scary for Jeff if you ask me. But, things worked out {hopefully} because Michele won. And Michele is a bit of a tricky one. She has no allegiance to anyone, or maybe she does and we'll find out to whom she has it.

Tune in on Sunday on CBS.
