Things Have Been Turned Upside Down.

1. One of my favorite people in this whole world, who has been like an aunt to me was given 18 months to live with the stage 4 breast cancer that has metastasized to her bones.

2. Good friends of ours were told that their baby who is still baking in his mommy's tummy has down syndrome and cerebral palsy and they had to terminate.

3. A sweet dog died in July, and now my friend is heart broken because one of her girls is no longer with her.

4. I've given up on having a baby.

5. And our nearest and dearest friend has moved away to Oregon.

I would LOVE for things to just be normal and easy. I hate when things are upside down and just don't feel right anymore.

HUGE....i LOVE this show



I saw an advertisement for a show called HUGE...it was presented as a show about kids that were sent away to a fat camp. I thought it might be offensive but I took the chance at watching it on Hulu. I have to say this show is very well done. The writers are great and address so many common teenage issues that apply to all teenagers and has some very awesome adult dynamics. If you haven't watched this show, please check out the above video while it lasts. This is episode 4. Here are the things that have been missed in the first 3 episodes....

1. The kids had to be dressed in their bathing suits for a "before" picture.
2. Will (short for Willamina) decided she would start selling her candy stash to make money
3. Will was ratted out by her friend, Becca, about selling her candy stash.
4. Another character that was only on for a couple of episodes was ratted out by her friend Amber because she has bulimia. No one thinks Amber should be at this camp because she's the thinnest girl at the camp. Amber is pretty and doesn't know it, and seems to have a good heart that she's afraid of showing. Amber also likes the guy fitness trainer, George.
5. A new girl in the cabin replaced the girl who was suffering from bulimia. Her parents wouldn't leave because the girl got home sick easily. These same parents were a support group for Will while she tired to learn basketball. With their encouragement, Will learned she could play and get better with practice.
6. My favorite episode before the one posted above was mainly about an activity my favorite character Becca wanted to start. Becca wanted to get others to participate in her LARP. Larping is basically taking your imagination, creating a whole new world with different new races of people and doing a live action role playing game. It reminds me of the movie Role Models and the game the one kid liked to play called LAIR.
7. I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with the main character Will. So draw your own conclusions about her. :D

Anywho...I give this show 5 STARS of course out of 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work HUGE!!!!

What a complete failure to take ownship of being cheap!

Please read the news story if you have a chance. The link is below but for a summary from my point of view of what is occurring keep reading....Marvel and the good folks at NBC Universal don't want to spend the money on Edward Norton to come back as the Incredible Hulk in the Avengers movie. I don't have a lot of comic book knowledge. I'm a girl that liked Barbie and making grandpa mud pies in my fisher price kitchen. So from what my husband has told me, the Avengers are Captain America (or someone like that), Iron Man, Sam Jackson's character from Iron Man and a girl character. Now I didn't see the movie The Hulk that came out in 2003 because all I heard about it was how horrible it was and that it wasn't worth spending the money to see it. I also did not go see the 2008 version in theater because I was worried that it would be awful as well. I should have known better. Edward Norton is a great actor and did a wonderful job as Bruce Banner. Now with this movie, they refuse to come to an agreement with Ed Norton. So now they'll recast the part and it will suck again. Way to go on this decision...kill any hope there was of keeping the Incredible Hulk cool
