So I'm watching Giuliana & Bill and don't even get me started on what's wrong with that sentence. I know. But I'm watching Bill spend the evening with his nieces making friendship bracelets, the kind made from embroidery floss? Then they go around to a couple stores & sell them for, get this, $5 each! Really? That's some profit margin, and I know this for fact because I've just started embroidering and embroidery floss is like, 37 cents each. Anyway, the store starts with a "small collection" and pays the girls $100. I'm thinking, how sweet. The store manager is supporting the girls, even though their asking price is a oh, a tad high.
During the little interview sessions Giuliana & Bill did together, Bill said he "might have made a few calls before going to the stores". And I'm just not sure what to think of that. Again, I'm completely horrified that I'm A. watching Giuliana & Bill and that 2. I'M PUTTING THIS MUCH THOUGHT INTO GIULIANA & BILL.
My point is, what is teaching the kids really? They seemed like perfectly nice young girls, and they seemed genuinely surprised that they received $100 for their wares, but it was hardly realistic.
I'm just saying.
About Me
- tracy
- I was born & raised in Alaska and still live here with my husband, an "import" from sunny California. My greatest accomplishment to date? My gorgeous daughter, Ellis Olivia. I have a highly energetic Husky named Porter (aka Doodles), and a cat named Mendy, who pretty much ignores us until her food bowl is empty. My wish? To find more time to relax, more time to create, and to find the ability to let go.

I know! I was thinking the exact same thing.
yeah, but that has got to be better than saying "While I was watching Khloe and Kourtney take Miami..."
Have I thanked you yet for all the love you've left for me lately? If not, THANK YOU with all my heart. You are so sweet, Tracy.

Hi. Stranger here. Saw your tweet to/from Dooce and thought I would leave some words of encouragement where you might see them since I don't do Twitter...
I've been somewhere close to where you are and it was heartbreaking. But my husband and I both survived and we're more understanding of each other because of it. Good luck to you both. My only advice is to find the best treatment you can afford. And love each other.
Wow, I need Bill to make some calls for me. I could use some people over paying for my products... that is if I had any products. Maybe I could get in on the floss/bracelet racket. Has to pay better than blogging.
I think that's kind of a statement about what's wrong with this generation. Too much, too soon, too easy. It creates all kinds of problems.
How are you? Hugs, Jen
Oh Tracy...watching paint dry has got to be more interesting than the lives of G & B. i know, it's easy to get sucked in. i am guilty of it too. but hopefully that will be the last time you give much thought to those damned shows!
