This is an ornament I bought December 1992 during my senior year of high school. Our football team had won the state championship and we were very proud of them.
This morning Manga Dork was putting away the ornaments. I came through the house and saw her reaching for ornaments with her eyes on the tv. Next thing I know I see something fly off the tree and I hear a CRUNCH! I didn't even have to ask...
I did not yell...I just went to her room and counted to 10 (or maybe 100)and cried a few tears. I came out and I explained that I was very sad about the accident and that I had seen her watching tv instead of doing her work. Her paying attention to what she is doing has been a big problem....ummmm...can you say teenager! She was very upset that she had broke it and I think it made an impression on her...now hopefully she will learn from her mistake.
As for me...it just really STINKS! Boo Hoo!
Don't worry Vicki, my face would look the same way if I was donating! I get very sick. Unfortunately Vicki was turned down...I think it was due to a medication or something. 
Lynne's daughter, Raquelle, celebrated her 18th birthday. She actually whined and pitched a fit to get her lil sis to take off the white dress and let her wear it. Gee!
She needs to take some lessons from Jeana's daughter, Kara. She got a summer job as a retail salesperson and somehow that blossomed into her redecorating the back area of the shop. She is SO motivated and a real go-getter like her mom.
It seemed like this episode had alot of "doing lunch" in it again. Here Gretchen is trying to get Lynne to tell her how old she is...she fails. I miss getting to see the housewives at their jobs and in their homes. These "lunches" seem too planned.
Jo, a housewife from seasons 1 and 2, invited Gretchen to be in her music video. Looked like fun, but I am not so sure about Jo's music ability. 
The show ended with all the ladies having dinner (argh!). Lynne meets them all for the first time. For some reason while listening to the conversations Lynne decides to yell "cut" several times and tells them..."No talking about kids." The ladies are stunned and Vicki tells her not to tell them how to direct their conversation and that their kids are their lives and they want to talk about them. Go Vicki. I guess if I had Lynne's kids I wouldn't want to talk about kids either! LOL! 
Tamra's son, Ryan, told her earlier in the episode that one of his past girlfriends had lost their baby at 3 months. That is why he got "nugget" tattooed inside his lip...cause the baby looked like a chicken nugget on the ultrasound...OMGoodness. At the dinner Tamra attacks Gretchen for going to the lake while Jeff was in the hospital. She says she would NEVER do that if she was in the situation...which makes Gretchen do this...
Charlie the pygmy goat decided to harrass Tony the Belgian horse. He ended up with a cracked skull, a loose horn, and a blind eye. He survived and was sold on 12/27. We no longer have goats on the farm.
We flew to NYC to meet Lil Sis and BIL for a week. This was a dream come true for me. NYC was my #1 dream trip.
I started reading Twilight...who knew how that would transform our lives. LOL!
Manga Dork started Junior High.
We threw Manga Dork an 80s Dance Club themed party complete with DJ. I am sure Dr. Hubby will still be reminding me of the $$$ I spent on this way into 2009!
We did a room makeover for her birthday present. Foster son came over on 12/23 and saw it for the first time. He walked in the door and went straight to it. I don't think it was an easy thing for him to see.
We enjoyed our Halloween this year with portraits, a community party, and trick or treat night/parade.
I almost broke my toe (yes, that is 2 foot injuries in 1 year) It healed in time to go shopping with mom.
We ate ALOT of chinese food! Yum!
Vicki cried alot in this episode...Jeana brought Frankie with her to Havasu. Frankie and Vicki are huge enemies. He lived in her house and there were lots of issues over rent and redecorating. Jeana shouldn't have done it! Bad girl! Vicki also cried later when a soggy nerf football hit her in the head. Hey! Blonds can't afford to lose brain cells that way! Ha ha! Just joking!
Gretchen went to spend some time with her family at the lake while Jeff's children stayed at the hospital with him. Her mom and dad seem great! I think next week the other housewives are going to bash her for not staying at the hospital. If you read her blog she explains that Jeff wanted her to take little breaks. I have a feeling I am going to be disappointed in the other girls next week.
Vicki is shopping for a yacht. She will have to sell their river house to buy it. This upsets her daughter, Brianna. I don't think Vicki will be able to sell it when it upsets one of her kids. However, I think Vicki will find another way to get the boat...
...cause how could you not want to do this! Plus the inside is UNBELIEVABLE!
There were 2 annoying things during the show last night...#1 Everyone seemed to be going out to dinner and lunch. I like seeing them at home and other places. #2 The punk in the picture above...This is Tamra's son, Ryan. His lazy, spoiled, bratty, cocky, obnoxious attitude drives me up the wall. I like his shirt though! LOL!
