Besides Reading....

[Kourtney]

The book was shown in the scenes for next week during the spa/botex party episode. So if you watch the new episode on Tuesday then they'll be talking about the book!

[Kristine]

Yes, Stacey that was the new episode. At the end, when they do previews for next week, Theresa holds up a copy of the book.

[Kristine]

Oh, & on Grey's, I read George is gone. & personally I would love to see Izzie go!

[Kourtney]

I am way into So You Think You Can Dance! It makes me want to get up and learn to dance! Then I get tired so I sit back down again :)

Isn't pretty much everyone like that now except Jacqueline?

Hopefully I can get to the remote before my bf does this week! :)

[Nadia]

Stacy - you are so right. I was watching more of the show and it seems like everyone is into causing a little trouble - I guess they figure it will make good telly. Although I am still convinced Danielle is the real fake and a huge troublemaker.

[Stacy]

Oh, no Nadia, I meant that everyone seems to have a problem with Danielle except Jacqueline.

[Nadia]

Oh, okay Stacy. I gotcha. LOL! That makes more sense. I guess I didn't read that right.

[Stacy]

Hey, no problem. I probably didn't write it right. LOL!!!

[Kourtney]

Real Housewives tonight at 10!!!! They explain about "the book" and all that fun stuff! WHEEE! I'm so excited!

[Stacy]

I am so tired today for some unknown reason. I hope I can stay up for it!

[Nadia]

I feel asleep halfway through the show. what happened?! I missed the part where Danielle told Jacqueline that you have to know who your enemies are and they were drinking champagne (I saw it in the previews). I assume she is calling Jacqueline's family her enemies?

[Stacy]

Ha! You fill me in on the first half Nadia and I'll fill you in on the last half. I was watching a movie (Bride Wars) and forgot all about it until it was over.
Anyway, all I saw was Danielle talking to her friend about the whole thing, what happened with the arrest. She says it was a wrong place, wrong time type of thing. Apparently it was Dina that handed out the copies of the book. Danielle was going on about how the people in that town don't know what she had to go through. And Dina was saying if she wanted to be a real bitch, she could've put copies of Danielle's mug shot on every telephone pole from there to Atlantic City.
Oh, and the lady with the scary eyes (can't remember her name) who is Gia's mom is in the process of moving the furniture and such into the new house. Gia got a part on Gossip Girl.

[Nadia]

Hey Stacy! OMG! Those women are so into drama!! OKay, so the first half: Dina was helping her daugther pack for her upcoming 2 week vacation to Cyprus with her dad and the little girl was super excited and Dina was super sad about the whole thing. Jacqueline and her husband went to see the doc for some results for some chromosome testing they were doing regarding all the miscarriages and they found out that they were fine and that these things happen (could be age, which Jacqueline said maybe she should get a plastic surgery done on her eggs so that the sperm will find them attractive). Theresa and her husband wanted to do salsa like on Dancing with the Stars so the got everyone into the idea and the whole gang went to a dance studio, including Danielle. Everyone goofed around and had and criticized Danielle for taking it too seriously (she was a dancer back in her day). Caroline sat it out and just watched. No one liked how hands on Danielle got with Albie and then I missed the next part, but when I watched it I heard Theresa's husband telling her he couldn't stand Danielle and the next thing I see is Theresa getting mad at Danielle for disrespecting her husband and her and her family. CRAZY! Danielle claims she phoned Theresa to apologize but Theresa hung up on her, which Danielle claims she doesn't know who her friends are. All she has are her daughters and that is enough. Oh and Caroline and Dina and Theresa gossiped about Danielle over wine about the book and her shady past. CRAZY!!

[Nadia]

By the by, did you like Bride Wars? I thought it was a cute movie.

[Stacy]

That's good to hear about Jacqueline, I felt really bad for her because of all the miscarriages.
Oh I remember seeing the previews for the dancing! I can't believe I missed that part!
So what's the title of the book? Did they say?
I wonder when the table dumping happens.
Next week's preview shows the scary eyed lady (is it Theresa?) saying that Danielle's bf Steve asked if he could go to their summer(?) house with another woman. Drama, drama, drama!

Yes, I saw Bride Wars when it was in the theatres and just bought it on DVD Sunday. Hadn't had a chance to watch it again yet til last night. It was a really cute movie, I loved it. I wonder if they'll make another one - Mom Wars?

[Nadia]

I forgot the name of the book. OMG! Theresa held it up to the camera and I can't even remember what the name was. Sorry. I read on their blogs that they didn't want anyone else to know about the books, but if that is true, then why did Theresa hold it up to the cameras and why did they bring it up. DRAMA!!

I want to see the table dumping too! I hope it happens soon.

Mom Wars would be a fun movie. Can you imagine how competitive they would get over getting their kids into the right schools and so forth. Too funny.

[Stacy]

Kourtney watches the show, I wonder if she'll remember what it's called.

I agree, it would be a funny movie. That kind of stuff happens in real life anyway, doesn't it? Maybe not, I know I've read about it enough in all the chic lit I read.

[Kourtney]

Off the top of my head it's something like Cop Without A Badge...it's in one of my earlier posts on this topic. I taped the episode but haven't watched it yet (I've been doing work at home and can't watch tv or I get nothing done!) I'm off to run errands then sitting in front of the tv to watch it all go down!!! YIPPPIEEE!

[Nadia]

Thanks Kourtney for the name of the book! I was wondering what it was. Do you think that Danielle leaked the info about the book because she wanted more camera time? Why is she always blaming Dina, who does not seem to give a fig about her?

[Kourtney]

well they said it was someone's neice that told the other housewives - you have to wonder if a producer told the girl so the other housewives would find out. It's not like they just met Danielle yesterday - she's been there a while. Information about a random hard to find book would not be easy to come by!

[Nadia]

Totally! Well, we all know that these reality shows are pretty limited when it comes to reality. But I still love watching all the drama unfold. I can't wait to see the table throwing- that has got to be a story.

[Stacy]

I'm sure it was a producer that leaked the info. The drama is fun to watch though - you're right Nadia.
And thanks for the book name Kourtney! I'm going to try to find it on the swapping sites.

[Kristine]

Danielle & Theresa were on a NY talk show the other day. Apparently for each day of filming they are given an "itinerary" of what they should do. So, I have no doubt that the book was planted. I want to see the table throwing episode!!

[Stacy]

I know! When is that one going to be on? Does anyone know how many weeks these shows usually last?

[Kourtney]

There's not too many more I don't think...

[Stacy]

Good so I won't have to wait long for the table episode. :)

[Nadia]

That is crazy how staged these "reality" shows are! An itinerary! I wonder if they put "throw table" on the itinerary?

[Kourtney]

Nah they don't get that specific - they just wrote "throw something" and it just so happened she decided it should be a table LOL!

[Nadia]

LOL!! That's good a one Kourtney!

[Stacy]

LOL!
You know, if you're into reality TV, a good book to read is The Next Big Thing. It's about an overweight girl that gets on a reality weight loss show. It's really good.

[Dawn]

like i needed more to add to my tbr list. Thanks stacy

[Stacy]

Dawn you know you're secretly thrilled when one of us recommends a book. LOL!

[Dawn]

Yes of course I am go look at my TBR list. I didnt even have one till I met you girls.

[Kourtney]

Dawn wrote: "Yes of course I am go look at my TBR list. I didnt even have one till I met you girls."

LOL! I have to restrain myself with my TBR pile. I decided in the beginning I would only list books I physically have in my possession to read - and yet I agree with Dawn. My TBR pile has exploded since I met you ladies!! And that's a great thing because I see you all opening my options up to books I would never have thought to purchase!

So for that I thank you all :)

[Nadia]

Thanks for the book tip Stacy - The Next Big Thing sounds like a fun read! Cool!

[Stacy]

Hey, that's what I'm here for. LOL!
My list has vastly increased as well. I'm starting to wonder if I'm ever going to be able to read them all...

[Nadia]

I know what you mean. My TBR list is the neverending pile of books. I keep adding and adding and just assuming that I will have time to read them all. But who knows when that will happen. Oh well, book buying curbs my handbag obsession - so I will keep adding to the pile.

[Stacy]

LOL, mine is shoes Nadia!

You crack me up Nadia. Since I have been buying so many books I haven't bought many handbags either. My husband wonders what is wrong with me. He asked if I was sick. LOL!

[Nadia]

That is too funny! LOL!

[Nadia]

Did anyone watch last night? I missed it because I am getting read to head off to Chicago tonight and I had some last minute shopping and packing to do. Please don't tell me I missed the table throwing! Did I?

[Jenn]

As you all know I love reading but some other the other tings I do to keep myself from going off the deeop end si movies love a good movie or tv show on dvd I have found over the years that I can really enjoy geting a season of someting and watch it all without the anyoning commericals. ( hey I have a lot of time spent with my knee proped up since the accident lol)

I haven't watched it yet - I always DVR it so I can fly through the commercials

[Nadia]

That is a great idea. Don't know why I always forget about doing that. I'll catch it next week.

[Stacy]

I missed it too! I had to do a "virtual fieldtrip" for my class and the questions I had to answer took FORever! I think it's on tonight sometime, I remember catching it on a Wednesday in the last couple of weeks.

Yeah, I forgot about my crafty type projects that I do on the side. I've done a lot of crocheting and am just learning how to knit. I've sort of done my own version of a quilt, they're not finished yet (like 90% of my projects). They're really cool though, they're made out of t-shirts and a lot of them I sewed by hand.

[Stacy]

Alright ladies!
Tonight - season finale! Table throwing scene! Let the drama unfold!
I missed last week's episode so I'm watching that right now....

[Kourtney]

YIPPPIEE! I miss having satallite TV (or however you spell it) because then I'd get the east coast feed and could be watching it right now! But alas I have 3 more hours before I get to watch the fun!!! WHEEE!!!
