Lately, I've taken to clicking on next blog from my blog page. Sometimes I stumble onto weird blogs about parents homeschooling their children (not that homeschooling is weird, just that the blog itself was kind of strange), I've landed on blogs about makeup, hair, pills, and today, I stumbled upon:

I got to the sticky pig from someone's blog about choosing the best hairstyle. He stumbled upon this little gem at a bridal show.
Then I was having trouble turning Word mailing labels into an Excel document and this website saved me:

I have to do some cleanup, but it's really not that bad in comparison to what could have been the ultimate result.
I can't take any credit for the next one as a friend of mine told me to check out:

Just go check it out.

Like an accident by the side of the road - I keep watching.
While unemployed, I started watching the show "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." This is an ABC Family show. The tagline of ABC Family is "A new kind of family." Indeed.
This show is just so unbelievable. Do teenagers really behave like this? I don't remember being like that when I was a teenager. The problem with this show is that I have a sick need to find out what happens and find myself on episode 15 of Season 2.
How is it that in one high school, in just a matter of minutes (or possibly a period or two) a complete marketing plan, including the printing of stickers has been created around the idea of masturbation as a means to keep teens from having sex? This show must send Christians screaming all around town on a regular basis. The good Christian girl has sex, but the TAG group lets her stay a member. Her mother (who has lost her husband and is now dating a much younger Jewish guy), encourages her young daughter to masturbate (which she now seems to do regularly making her boyfriend think she's cheating) and TADA - the "Just say ME" slogan is born.
Now, I am all for masturbation. I just don't get this show!
The main character is pregnant on the first episode. Will she keep the baby, give it away, keep it, give it away. Just make a decision! Everyone makes this poor kid crazy...
I put completion of this post on hold in the hopes that MAYBE something normal would happen, but no... The Christian (who masturbates) widow is now engaged to her younger, Jewish boyfriend. I must have missed something, fallen asleep... I don't remember them getting engaged!
Add to that the school "slut" thinks she might be pregnant with the teen mom's ex-boyfriend who she slept with to get her boyfriend (the baby's daddy) jealous.
Only 10 minutes and I'll have finished the second season.
Why didn't I just start watching Mad Men?
