Last Confession From the Original Bubble Tub

Well, tonight is the last night I'll be spending in Tennessee.  My U-haul is already in GA, my son is in Florida, and I'm here getting the last of it taken care of before heading out in the morning.  I'm enjoying my last confession from THIS bubble tub.  I started this blog over 2 years ago. This means I've spent a TON of time in the tub!! I hope that my new garden tub will also be inspiring and nurturing. This bubble tub has seen me through a lot of mad, happy, pissed, frustrated and crazy states of mind. So, on that note, let's make this a memorable blog, shall we?
First off, I want to say thank you to Todd Burfield, who totally came through for me and saved the day!! He is my hero and I am sooooo appreciative that I cannot even express it! Tina Gibson.....  I love you girl! You are a WORK HORSE doll!! WOW!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!!! You totally rock and I love you!! I will miss you madly!! (You didn't kill me during my many meltdowns, and I appreciate that! :-) )  Jay, you are totally awesome and I really, REALLY appreciate your help also!! You make me not want to look at my Halloween decorations the same, but, you're OK in my book! LOL! Shan...... broken toe and all girl!!! WOW!!! It was so nice having you and Tina here today, on my last day here.  I was feeling the empty nest thing and sad and y'all totally got me through it!! I am so looking forward to opening the door one day and y'all standing out there waiting!!! 
This was/is such a HUGE life change. My son leaving, me leaving and moving to a new state......  TOTAL CHAOS for the last two months!! Finally, I'm starting to feel a little peace come back into my life. I'm so excited to move to GA and be with Darren.  He is a great man and I know this is a great thing!! I've said it before, I'm a creature of habit and change is so hard for me.  But I am totally proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and life as I've known it for 15 years and moving on. I have made many great friends in Tennessee and I'm proud to say I was a Tennessean (well, not from birth but, you know....) and I'm thankful for all of the opportunities I was afforded here. (still think the taxes are too damn high though!) So, now I'll be a ....Georgian?? A peach? What the hell will I be now?? Well, I'll always be a NEW YORKER!!
So stay tuned for my blogs from the new bubble tub! If I didn't get to see you before I left, I'm sorry, and don't take it personally.  I have been working overtime at work for almost two months and packing after work and on weekends.  Not excuses. I've been here at the same house for 5 years and NOBODY has ever needed an invitation to stop by.....  just sayin. 
Well, I guess this is it from The Bubble Tub! Peace out!

Reality TV..... Really?

I've been watching a lot of reality tv lately for some reason. I guess insomnia is creeping in again and it's leaving me up at 3am channel surfing. I knew there was a lot of reality shows on but really? You've got cupcake shows, cake making shows, people trying to be a chef show, Pawn Shop shows, motorcycle making shows, tattoo shows, driving 18 wheelers on ice shows, swamp fishing shows, people who hoard way to much shit shows, people with 18 damn kids shows, stars trying to dance, stars trying to run businesses, stars airing their dirty laundry on their own reality show but demand privacy shows....... Holy crap, they're never ending!! And WE WATCH THEM!!!! I'll admit, I'm addicted to Dancing with the Stars and Keeping up with the Kardashian's. I knew LONG before Kim and Kris got married that it wouldn't last. He's so immature and she's so self-absorbed. I mean, who wears $200,000 diamond earrings into the ocean and then gets pissed when one is lost? What a silly ass. Though, I do think she is very pretty and she does work hard. I'll give her credit for that. But some of these other shows.... Hoarders?? Gross!! I wouldn't want my face on national tv while someone is going through MY fridge trying to get me to throw out a 5 year old wheel of cheese that has grown a fur coat, while I am weeping because I can't bear the thought of throwing it out..WHAT???The cupcake shows and the cake decorating shows? Why do we watch this? I mean, they're decorating frigin cakes people! Shouldn't we be watching CNN or FOX news, keeping abreast on how the President is going to screw us next? I bet more people than not know who Gordon Ramsey is but have no clue as to who Joe Biden is (our Vice President, and don't act like you knew that!)
What has become of cable tv? Growing up, you had Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Dallas, Knots Landing, The Michael Douglas Show, Golden Girls, Tic Tac Dough, The Price is Right and a few others. That's it. No Beavis and Butthead (I love them, though. Don't hate me!), no Teen Mom's, no Jersey Shore.... and ya know what?? We made it!! We survived without reality tv!! Whew!!
I was just reading an article about KK getting a divorce and felt compelled to voice my opinion. As far as I know, that right hasn't been taken away yet. I just wonder why she was paid $2 million dollars to have her wedding aired and I almost bet that Prince William wasn't paid a cent!! If he was, he probably donated it to a worthy charity, since he's very humble like that. The Kardashians totally makes themselves out to be nothing but money hungry fools, except for Khloe, Kourtney and Rob. I feel sorry for Bruce Jenner, but, after being in that family for 20 years, he's screwed and whipped, so, I guess he should have RAN a long time ago!! Get it, Bruce Jenner.... Ran??? Ok, I'm exhausted from all of this packing and starting to just be silly. My rant is over. Now off to watch some Dancing with the Stars!!
