Weekend Update: This Weekend I....

This is going to be a short post because my weekend was full of house cleaning and watching DVR'ed TV shows! So yes I cleaned the house on Friday/Saturday and cleaned the cars on Sunday because it was a pretty nice day minus the wind and I wanted to spend it outside! Plus, since we are going on a road trip the car really really needed to be done! It was lovely to have such a clean house and cars though! 

On Friday night I sadly watched my Ottawa Senators get eliminated from the Playoffs which sucks but they worked hard this season and I'm proud they got to where they did. Our team is young and little learning so YAY Sens great season boys! Can't wait until next season! On Saturday the New York Rangers where also eliminated so I really don't care who wins the Cup now. I would like to see the Bruins or the Penguins win *fingers crossed*. I sadly don't have any teams I like in the Western Conference so my teams always have to play against each other! haha

After I finished watching hockey I decided it was time to watch the Real Housewives of OC episodes I had DVR'ed. Oh my gosh these women kill me! I have to say I do love Alexis' hair cut! If I didn't love my long hair so much right now I would probably cut it the same way! Also, thank you to Lydia for telling Alexis she isn't being bullied and she signed up for it by signing up for the show! Honestly, if you're on drugs and seeing someone because of what these women did to you wouldn't you not be on the show anymore and if you still wanted to be on the show don't go to Tamra's party because you know what is going to happen! I have to say these are my favorite housewives! Maybe it is because I love seeing the beach in the background haha

Though she isn't my favorite I loved this moment from Heather!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope all my American Lovelies had a great long weekend!

Much love everyone!

xoxo

PS Yes I'm posting today because it isn't a holiday here in Canada but I will link up with these lovelies tomorrow :)

• If you’re a reality TV watcher like I am (I’m not proud, I admit), you’ve probably noticed the high proliferation of programming centered around the word “wife.” I blame (and by blame, I really mean “thank”) Bravo for kicking off this trend with their “Real Housewives,” series, which, fittingly enough, is the crown jewel in my reality TV lineup. 

  
  

  If you’re not watching any of the “Real Housewives” 

  franchises, you’re really missing out. I don’t care who you are, we all love a little mindless entertainment from time to time, and RH perfectly fits the bill. With six current installments airing in America (with such glitzy locales as Atlanta and Beverly Hills) and at least two international installments, including Vancouver airing exclusively for Canadian residents, you’re sure to find one that suits your tastes. My preferred locales? Orange County (the mama location that started it all), New York City, and of course, Beverly Hills. 

  
  

  One prop I have to give the ladies of RH is that the majority of them actually are married, or at least they were when they began filming. Such is not the case for “Basketball Wives,” which really should be re-titled “Basketball Groupies,” or more politically incorrectly, “Ghetto Girls.” You’ve noticed this too, right? I don’t know what can be said for a group of single women in their 30’s and 40’s who live to brawl, but VH1’s cameras are there to capture every moment. If you prefer your cast to possess some modicum of class, this isn’t the show for you. However, if it’s a glammed-up version of Jerry Springer you’re craving, “Basketball Wives” is worth a look.

  
  

  Then there’s the mob wives of the aptly-titled, “Mob Wives.” Unlike the “Basketball Wives,” a handful of these women are indeed wearing a ring, but they’re not pretending to be classy. Instead, viewers are given an unvarnished look at the daily struggles mafia wives face while their husbands are serving time. While over-the-top at times, these aren’t scripted storylines, as evidenced by the headline-making incident that one cast member’s husband generated by striking a deal with authorities and turning in his own wife’s father. 

  
  

  However you slice it, housewives are definitely having a moment in pop culture, and unlike Donna Reed, these women aren’t content to be caught vacuuming in pearls.
