RHBH reunion thoughts: Ranking the housewives
I won’t call this a recap, because it’s not, really. However, inspired by a convo I had with my friend Ellen yesterday, and based on my opinions of both the reunion (1st half) and the season, I would like to rank the housewives from least favorite to favorite. Maybe no one cares. But you know what? I care, and it’s Friday. So here you go.
We’ll start from the bottom:

RHOC new season preview online
LOL’ing at Tamra’s nip slip on the new season (23?) trailer:
I added the censor bar myself (yes, I’m a pansy, I know) — the real preview on bravotv.com totally shows the whole shebang! For at least 12 more minutes until Andy notices and NeNe’s out.
Speaking of ridiculous things re: education
Look what my dumbass student loans provider sent:
Great news about my consolidaton appliation!
Kay on the news: Fight the power
My mom was on the local Austin news last night. I tried to embed the video but it doesn’t work, I guess because it’s off a local news site?
Anyway, she went to the local school board meeting because they were voting on a new plan that would eliminate 536 positions in the schools. Originally the plan included eliminating 52 school librarians, and having all remaining librarians cover 3...
Vows that may or may not have made me tear up
Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly’s wedding announcement in the Times, ca. 12/2/2007.
I love that this resurfaced to the top of the Vows section. They seem so genuine.
Everybody's moving to Austin
I mean, not that this is news, but apparently a new article came out in the Times stating that from 2007-2009 more people aged 25-34 moved to Austin than any other city. I naturally read about said article in Gawker.
So Austin is my hometown, and it’s cool and all, but really people? Texas gets HOT in the summer, and housing isn’t even cheap there anymore. Sure, cheaper than New York,...

I am so distracted.
One of my very best ladies, Stephanie, is having a baby this morning. I cannot concentrate on work to save my life.
I have been stalking her mom’s Facebook statuses in order to keep up to date. It’s funny, I find the live-updating of most events in life highly obnoxious, but having a baby is one of those things where I think it’s fully appropriate to keep people updated via...

Even I am slightly surprised by how proud I am of most of the past 16 and pregnant girls on the reunion special. A lot of them have really nailed it!
Important things that happened this New Year's Eve
I got dressed up and walked to and from the bar solo (Carson is in California cheering on the Horned Frogs).
Adam Duritz was at our party. Yes, that Adam Duritz. There were only about 60 people there, so he didn’t exactly blend in, but he seemed like a pretty chill guy and hung out most of the night. I guess everyone banded together and repressed the urge to request the DJ to play...
