I honestly can not believe this name!

I came across something that made my skin crawl....

They are shooting a new show in Dallas that will be on the ABC lineup for fall. This show is entitled "Good Christian B*!^&es."

REALLY???!!!

I am so offended by this name, I can't even tell you. I honestly can't believe more people haven't been up in arms about it!

I mean, I get what they are trying to do...we are in the Bible belt, people in Dallas are Christians but can still be backstabbing and cutthroat. I get it, I get it. But this name is SO hit-you-over-the-head, completely wrong, seriously messed up, TOTALLY offensive, I can't even begin to name all of the things wrong with it.

First of all, I know that there are alot of people out there saying, "Finally, someone has named Christians for what they are!" (People like, Bill Maher for example. And I hope we all know how I feel about him, if you don't, I will be happy to tell you.....) I am also sure that non-Christians will say stuff like, "You guys need to have a sense of humor about who you are!" or something along of lines of, "You are taking yourself too seriously."

Let me just tell you - it takes alot to offend me. Really, it does. And I am a Christian. And this offends me.

Is this name that necessary? I mean, couldn't they find something else to call this show? It's not a reality show, it's a scripted show, like Desperate Housewives. But did they really have to use that language when referring to a group of believers?

As a Christian, this to me is just such a lack of creativity on the part of the show's creators, they had to steep this low to get an interest going, shows how completely uncreative they really are. I would think they would never have a show referring to other groups this way (think, African American or Muslim). But yet somehow, we are supposed to think it's OK because, why again?

I really do understand what it is they are trying to say. They are basically saying that Christians are hypocrites. Especially in this part of the country. I know what they are saying, I really, really do. I get the premise of the show. I just wish they had found a different name for it. They are already starting to refer to it as GCB, which is probably what it will end up being called, because I hardly think that a group of women, standing around a water cooler, talking about what they saw on Good Christian B**&#es the night before, will fly in most social circles or as appropriate work conversation, regardless of your religious beliefs. They won't do well for inspiring popularity for this show.

But I will ALWAYS know what those initials stand for. I, for one, will not watch this show as long as this is the name!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
