Found Not Lost

My husband and daughters love hotdogs. We have a hotdog and hamburger night at least once a month and something like this Hot Dog Toaster would be a big hit at my house. No need to heat up the buns separately, you can heat them all up at the same time. This would be great for heating up left overs too especially since every time we have our hotdog/hamburger night we usually end up making enough to eat for a couple of meals afterwards.

My daughters, as soon as the weather warmed up, have started talking about going to the beach already. They had so much fun during last year’s weekend at Wilmington that they want to go back there again.

Wilmington really is a beautiful area and there is a lot to do. When we were down there, we even toured the studios where the tv series One Tree Hill is filmed. That was fun. The girls are still talking about it. We’ve even fantasized about getting a weekend retreat down there, but with the popularity of Wilmington NC real estate, I don’t think we’ll be able to afford it anytime soon. But it’s always good to dream

On the morning shows, the news and the internet, the most recent scandal to talk about is the Miley Cyrus scandal, if you can call it that. She’s been the sweet and wholesome image of Disney’s Hannah Montana, adored by pre-teens all over. The scandal is, that the photos recently published in Vanity Fair magazine is supposedly too racy for her teen idol image. It doesn’t help either that a couple of weeks ago there was the other outrage because of an internet photo where she supposedly let a flash of her bra show.

She’s a teenager, after all and if you have teen agers, these things are quite mild compared to what teen agers can really get into nowadays. At least she hasn’t gon to alcohol rehab or drug rehab like other pop stars her age. She is a teenager and she will do what teens do. She is not some goddess that is above everyone else. That’s what where most people go wrong. Just because she’s on TV doesn’t mean she’s a role model. I think there is something wrong with our society anyway that idolizes actors on tv and movies. They are “acting” don’t people get it?

I sure don’t get what the big deal is.

Although today is a bit rainy and gray, you can just tell from all the greening and blooming happening that summer will soon be here. We’ve already dragged out the grill and have started dusting off the lawn chairs, and the husband is again talking about building a gazebo (he’s talked about this every summer for the last three ).

If our gazebo ever gets built, I think a new set of teak outdoor furniture would be the perfect gazebo warming present. Don’t you think?
