Jersey Shore-Continued

Okay, here is my opinion on everyone.
Snooki- she reminds me of alot of the younger girls I see out nowadays. She does alot for attention, and she needs to fix her poof, get a bumpit or something.

Angelina- She was making her relationship out to be somekind of fairy tale when in reality that was all wrong. This girl reminds me of someone who tries to make "everything look good on the outside" when its really all fucked up....I think we all know a few couples like this.
JWOW- this is really the only bitch on the whole show I know I could hang with. She is more comfortable with dudes (like me) she has fake boobs (like me) and when she has sex with someone, she's like a "praying mantis, she will rip your fucking jhead off" (like me) I love JWOW. She is exactly how I would be on the show. Except, I wouldn't cheat on my husband (now, a few years back though, HOLLA)
Ronnie- is FUCKING hot. and he seems like a cool dude.
Paulie D is also a hottie but he needs to get rid of the blow out. I kow its a jersey thing but I hate it. And he is a dj thats extra hot
Vinny- He seems like a guys guy. Like, he hasn't done anything really funny on the show, but I can just tell he has the type of personality that you trip out with all the time.
Sammi Sweetheart- I liked her at first, but I think she is another attention whore. Like for real, you were flirting with Mike (and YES I know his type so you get a pass) and then you beat down Ronnie and then holla'd at some cop. Get it together girl. Your on TV! If you wanna be a player, get your game right. You gotta be a lil more DL than that!
The Situation- I WROTE A WHOLE BLOG ON HIM-(see below!)

Anyway, I love this show and I can't wait til next Tursday. Snooki gets knocked off her rocker and I get to see what happens NEXT! WHOO HOO!

Jersey Shore

Okay I couldn't even wait until its over to write this. The guy Mike, I think I've met this guy before. No, not personally, but a guy just like this. You meet him down the beach or somewhere, he isn't an "around the way" guy, but you meet him, you think DAMN he is hot, and he your vibing with him you show him some affection and he is so sweet. Then later (after the club, or whatever), WOW he is still sweet, and its like stage 10 clinger-on sweet. So you back off, and BOOM he gets all stalker like. I know Mike. I've met a million Mike's in my time. And they all are SUPER HOT and the next day or later, you can't wait to get rid of them. Lesson? Looks can BE decieveing! I will blog more about the Jersey Shore tommorrow, but this couldnt wait

Bad Girls Club and Heartburn

No, the 2 are NOT related in anyway at all, I just want to talk about both. Starting with bad girls club.
I love this show! I started watching it season 2 with Tanisha and Jennavecia<--thats my bitch!- anyways, I love the fuck out of this show. Its the best. And the new season is better than any of the others. Its like a whole house full of train wrecks and I can't get enough. The bitch Natalee thinks she is something and its so great to watch people when they are so into themselves and they really think they are like A-list celebrities, when the truth of the matter is, THEY REALLY AREN"T!!! The latest episode, Natalee kept saying "I run LA! I run LA" I mean, are you fucking serious?!?!!! And she also kept picking on the girl Annie who isn't the type to stick up for herself. Normally I would say, she deserves it because you should ALWAYS stick up for yourself, but Natalee won't talk like that to anyone else. Its fucking patehtic, and I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!
Since I have been pregnant, I have been a dedicated, show watcher, <---for lack of a better term. I set my DVR for all my shows and I get super excited for them. I mean, I think I live vicariously through some of the people, because for the past 6 1/2 months, I have been a hermit. Our big night out is Don Pablos. And I really don't mind it, I mean going out right now is not good for me or the baby- people bumping into me, loud noise, can't drink, I'm really BIG and my back hurts all the time. Donny has been a really good sport with me through all this. I mean, I tell Donny, he can go out and do whatever he wants, and he has his nights out with Joe for football, but mainly we stay in together. Its like he is pregnant too. He is even getting pregnancy symptoms! Its so funny because he really is! He is gaining weight, he gets indigestion and heartburn! I thank God every chance I get for bringing him into my life. He has been the best husband, friend everything, I could ever ask for.
Speaking of indigestion and heartburn- ITS FUCKING HELL!!! I have it so bad! I keep Tums by my side all day. And I can take Zantac and normally(like when I am not prego) I can take 1 and not have heartburn all day and usually the next. Well shit just isn't normal now! I used to think Zantac was a miracle drug, the way it stopped heartburn. Not anymore! I need like 3-5 a DAY! And I could only JUST start taking them. In the beginning I couldn't take them at all!
Okay I am not going to bore everyone with my pregnancy symptoms, but I just HAD to get it off my chext!

My First BLOG!

Wow! This is really exciting for me to start a blog. theres so much I always want to say, and facebook just doesnt have enough room, and I erased my myspace acct, because it was really juvenile and most of the people I connect with online are on facebook. Plus, I didn't even know half of my "friends". So..............
anyway, I am going to start with me.
I got pregnant this year in June, and for real, it was the last thing I ever thought would happen, but I have to admit, I was trying a little bit. After Donny and I got married in April, I bought this fertility doll from the Turning Wheel in putty Hill shopping center. I rubbed the stomach on it every night. We never "plan" when we are having sex, because, well, wwe have sex everyday! And the reason I thought I couldn't get pregnant is basically, I was in 3 serious relationships, and I never used birth control. Everytime I asked my GYN he always said, "we will talk about it when you are ready" I took that to mean 'Its not going to be easy'. Well, I found out July 7th after Donny and I got into a huge fight outside of his work. We went to CVS got an EPT test, and I took one of them, and we got in the car and headed to my dads, because we were going out on the boat with him that day. Well, him and I looked down at the test at the same time and we saw 2 lines. It was like 90 degrees outside, so when I saw it I said 'Its because its so hot out probaly'. looking back, that sounds SO STUPID! So when we get home I took the other test, which read positive of course, and I saved the 3rd one for the first morning urine and it read positive as well. I have taken several pregnancy tests before, because I have had scares. But this was for real.
Donny was more excited than I was. I was scared he wasn't going to be, because he just did 9 1/2 years in prison, and I thought the last thing he wants is to be tied down with a baby. But he was more excited than I ever could of hoped for. If I even had the slightest disbelief in everything happenening for a reason, that was quashed when I got pregnant. Its like the stars were aligned, God was watching over us everything that could go the right way has. And its changed my life completely. Before, I don't need to sugarcoat it, I was wild and thats putting it lightly! But after getting pregnant, I have to think " Is this something I would want my daughter doing? and just asking myself that question, has made me such a better person. I can't erase my past, but even if I could I wouldn't because my past brought me to this point in my life, which is so great, sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I have been this blessed. I am so much more appreciative of things. I used to be so materialistic before, and I am a little now still, but I am so happy just being with my husband. I used to have to fill my life with people that I know didn't have my best interest at heart, and I filled my life with them just to not be alone. But now, its just so different. And I am happy enough with myself that I don't need to take pills to give me false confidence. I mean, I couldn't take pills anyway I am pregnant, but even after I am pregnant, just my adderrall, and only that because I can't concentrate for shit!
Anyway, I'll write more later, I just wanted to start this blog with a little on where I am at in my life now.
