At least that’s what I thought Kathie Lee said as I walked past the Today Show on our TV this morning.

What a GRAB! Those marketing geniuses… Just look at the brains on them as the seedier side of America lit up… FINALLY. The answers that we are ALL WAITING FOR. Because marriage isn’t important anymore — That is, unless you’re a reality TV star… As my Dad asks the same thing we are all questioning — Just who the Hell is Kim Kardashian? And WHY, exactly, is she famous? Please note the usage of ‘exactly’ in that question — people have lost serious positions in life for utilizing that word as such. And, no. I didn’t have to use the word ‘Hell’ either, but since we are bringing up the whole “Affair” idea, I thought it was appropriate despite the fact that you might have gone the other way. So there.

And, yes. My fingers are bunny-hopping the quotation marks all over the place with this…. Just like that girl, Sheila.

But no. As it turns out… Because I didn’t actually wait to watch and hear about ‘How to have an affair and get away with it’. Instead I thought, ‘HUH – Isn’t this a NEW WAY TO GO’ and gasped slightly while making some sort of inept bore-hog snorting sound that made the baby cry. I didn’t hang out to hear what the segment was really about, during the drunk section of the Today Show staring Kathie Lee and Hoda, and I was about to write a mad post about humanity, faithfulness and the moral values of media… in society… AS A WHOLE. As Kathie and Hoda threw another few back… IS NOTHING SACRED? But then, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and decided to put the angry away and actually went to find the transcript of the show where I found out that I was wrong. Misled. LIED TO. No. The segment was actually about having an affair with YOUR OWN HUSBAND. Right! Because that is the way to ‘…rediscover passion and romance with your spouse.’ Which is fine. Do it. I’M ALL FOR IT.

However, as I dim the lights and bring my voice to a respectable whisper and let my eyeballs get all scary. Dare I say that I am disappointed in not getting to see how low they all really can go… Right? RIGHT?! Because they were all LET’S TRICK SOCIETY INTO THINKING THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO TELL THEM HOW TO CHEAT SUCCESSFULLY. That will get them to tune in to where, apparently — THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. And, again, no. I’m not interested in finding out how to get away with having an affair, let alone having an affair….Or getting caught. As I giggle about the thought of even thinking about the idea of such a notion. I really do believe in love, trust, honesty and all that jazz… which, apparently NBC does too, maybe — but not without the trailer of SCANDAL — a little test of how people can lean one way and then the other… YOU TOO CAN GET AWAY WITH IT! And then they tricked you into thinking that they were actually going to tell you how. The brains on them.

I’ve become a little fixated with this part of our kitchen lately… Not sure why, although 3 hours of nonconsecutive sleep a night might have something to do with it. That or losing 20 (plus) to 30 (minus) pounds in two weeks. I actually laughed out loud at a joke that Matt Lauer made this morning on the Today Show. Yes, that’s right — with this new child comes a new couch position at an odd time that has led to Today Show viewing. Let’s try not to panic.

I turned around and shared the joke with my Mom. I think she laughed to appease my delirium. I’d tell it to you too, but I’ve already forgotten it. Something about airplanes, lightening and gremlins. It was quite out of character for the man, of whom I run into on a regular basis and tend to loathe for no apparent reason. Something about mint green v-necks. He also graduated from the same high school as me… although totally different years. So did Justin Beiber’s manager… And the fact that I know this disturbs and confuses me on various levels, although I do have a new found love for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World — which is completely unrelated. But then the show went on and Meredith, in all of her supreme resignation, introduced the new Moët – which is to be served ON ICE…Yummy. While everything else just melted away. Including Al Roker.

But do you know what else? I’m really tired…. And also kind of silly stupid happy. Which is probably why I should just quit typing, because I could keep going…on and on…

But just look at these little birds…

Okay, okay — I get it. I sat down to start writing and have come to the realization that everything I have to say sounds like a complaint. I sound like a big loser whining about popular culture, design aesthetics, the movie I watched last night, the General Electric guy that left my ENTIRE house smelling like cigs and BO. Why is it that every fix-it man and contractor asks to use our bathroom? What about the house they were at before ours? Then, there is the client that hired me to design something and then took it upon herself to DO IT HERSELF — she probably spent hours on it. Was I not doing it correctly? At least Will is napping – I have that to be grateful for. Happy that the giant Christmas blow up snow-globe with lights and snowmen with green and red holiday hats at BJ’s didn’t scar him for life yesterday afternoon… Just 2 aisles from the giant kettle stirring green witch sitting on a massive blow up Halloween pumpkin, mind you. The weirdos are out during the day on Mondays at BJs – FYI, stick to shopping on the weekends with the crowds.

No – I thought I had plenty to write about today, but it’s all negative and annoying. Like… Mackenzie Phillips and couples that have eight babies, exploit the hell out of them, look around and realize that not enough people are paying attention, so then proceed to bash the hell out of each other all in the name of reality tv fame. Or the new Dinosaur show on PBS that features a T-Rex orphan adopted by a Pteranodon family that rides a supernatural train through the various periods of pre-historia. Dudes. COME ON! Kids might love trains, and they might love dinosaurs, but WHAT? Not only is this show most certainly on CRACK, but what happens when the preschoolers face reality? That the T-REX will EAT his entire adoptive family someday…. Someday SOON!

So, there it is–the few items all meshed into one super annoying post. At least I didn’t drag it out and write about each individual item like I was planning. I’m off to find air-fresheners–lighten it up a little bit.. or maybe, just light it all on fire.

Oh – comments are working again–so go on with your bad self. Yeah, that means you Jazz Hands, bring it.
