Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

Happy Friday!
It’s going to be a very happy Friday for me indeed because I have grand plans of going home and sleeping. For reals. Seth is going camping for Cheeto’s Bachelor “party”. I have made you a handy list of other things I may or may not be doing this weekend.

Weekend List
1. Sleeping
2. Watching TV
3. Getting my hair done
4. Eating
5. Reading my book “Dark Angels”
6. Laying in bed petting kidtens
7. Dancing to the song I downloaded last night- “I know you want me (Calle Ocho)” by Pitbull (did I mention I dig reggaeton?)
8. Start a jar of sun tea and drink the entire thing
9. Hang out with Pam and eat Zio’s
10. Hopefully see my cousin and brother and eat Pepperax

SYTYCD
Here is a link to the pictures of the top 10 guys: http://www.sytycdism.com/2009/06/official-photos-your-top-20-guys.html
And the top 10 girls: http://www.sytycdism.com/2009/06/official-photos-your-top-10-girls.html
Here are the ones that I immediately remember and like, but I reserve the right to change my mind once I see how they work with choreography:
Tony Bellissimo, Philip Chbeeb, Vitolio Jeune, Evan Kasprzak, Randi Evans, Janette Manrara, Kayla Radomski, and Paris Torres.
How about you? Any front runners in your pool yet?

Commitment week in review:
I accomplished none of them. Oh well, next week!

My Saturn
Dude they sold Saturn to some race car driver. I don’t know how to feel about this. I’m not like an uber passionate Saturn owner, but I do love the car and was treated really well at the dealership (and trust, I worked in two different dealerships in college, so I know what is good customer service and what is terrible customer service *coughs WOODHOUSE coughs*. Here is the article on the deal: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-penske6-2009jun06,0,575936.story

Alright I’m out of thoughts. My head is all empty-is this day over already?

Love (having the weekend to myself),
Carrie

Personally I'm surprised that Caitlin girl made it, as I liked her sister much better throughout the process. I also really like Brandon and Phillip. Mia needs to get her head out of her butt about Brandon. And I'm kind of disappointed both of the brothers didn't make it, but I can see that they think they're kind of the same genre. Hopefully the brother that didn't make it comes back next year! I'm also surprised they took bellisimo after they were ready to cut him. He does have his whole heart in the dances though. Man I don't know how many times I teared up during the show last night! I'm not afraid to admit it! Ooh and I really like Vitolio, too. Plus his name is fun to say!

I totally agree about the brothers-I couldn't believe they didn't take both of them. And who WERE some of those people!?!? I didn't know like half of them!

Please leave your thoughts and comments below-I'd love to read them! But if you're dirty spammy comments, I'm going to delete you.

About me

An almost daily blog of Carrie's ramblings that come from her baggage in life. Carrie lives with her disgustingly smart husband, amazing daughter bulldozer son and two Bengal cats in Colorado Springs. She is an avid reader and an obsessive television watcher. She loves to travel, sleep, snuggle and generally be friggin awesome. She suffers a smartphone addiction. She makes inane pop culture references. She hopes one day someone will give her a talk show where she talks about all the tv she watches, gossip she reads about on the internet, and life observations she has. Comments and followers make me blog more frequently, its a guilt thing.

Things you should know:

Hi All!
My name is Carrie and this is my blog-I know, you are so excited.
Please feel free to leave your comments below, but if you want to contact me directly, shoot me a line at
carriehellbusch (at) gmail dot com
I think that's the fancy way everyone does it so they don't get spam.
And please don't send me mean things. That would just make me delete this whole section and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on here. I didn't say I was a wiz at computers, I just married one-and he's busy trying to create Skynet...
Love (to ramble incessantly),
Carrie

About the Kidtens

I have two Bengal Cats-Bagheera and Willow. Willow is the girl and the spotted snow and Bagheera is the boy and the spotted dark. They are fixed so we can't breed them-my Pops is still mad at me for that. I would love to tell you about my breeder, but they were pretty horrible and apparently don't exist anymore. This could be because Bengals are illegal in Omaha (I live in Omaha's Sarpy County, which is not Omaha, it's an SID) or because they had 26 cats in a tiny corner of the basement stacked on top of each other.

Willow was actually our second choice in snows. We decided to get two because Bengals are notoriously active and we didn't want one to get lonely and eat our house while we were gone. Willow gets smarter every day. She recently figured out how to turn on the sinks, which bodes well with her love of water. She loves Seth more than anything, but has been known to cuddle with me too when I'm sad. She's a sweet girl. She also will NOT SHUT UP. If you wonder what a conversation with a cat is like, come chat with Willow. Willow is also known as Willow Bee, the Beezus, and Pretty Kitty.

Bagheera is your typical boycat. He sleeps with us most nights and we have worked out a "snacks for snuggles" barter system. He gives you love on his terms. Bagheera was born with a bad right back leg. The breeders told us that he broke it in the womb because there was too many kittens in the litter. The vet told us that he didn't know a thing about it until days later. So far he uses it like peg leg and it doesn't bother him at all. We talked to the vet about getting it fixed but the vet says the way he uses it, like a pirate, it wouldn't heal properly and he still would try to use it like he does. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother him so we are cool. The breeders told me they were going to put him down because they couldn't sell him and the price of the "surgery" would outweigh his "value". I practically snatched him and ran. They gave him to me for free. He has an amazing coat-show quality. I wonder if there is a cat show special olympics... Bagheera is also known as Baggy, Bags,Doots, Stinky Boy Kitty, and Buddy Bear.

Anyway that's me, Carrie-patron Saint of lost causes and handicats.
