Top Mom? Why Yes, I am.

So the Little Lady seems to be readjusting to life with her father at home. I haven't had anymore odd "Daddy?" sightings, but last week while she and I were perusing the pages of US Weekly, she pointed to this picture of Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi, who was wearing a bikini and looking pretty good (and by pretty good, I mean amazing) for a mom of a 1-year-old and said "Mommy?"

And do you know what I said?

"Yes, that's mommy." I mean she has long dark hair and was wearing big black sunglasses, I think it was a mistake anyone could have made.

It also made me realize that to our kids, on some days we are a former model/Reality TV host with a super hot bod and a love for food and dramatic dismissals of chefs and on other days we are 12-year old Asian boys with bad teeth.

So I guess the question is, which one are you today?

Almost Forgot. . .

So, after a long day flying home, I was super psyched to watch some TiVo when I got home, when much to my chagrin we realized that at some point the power went out here and the TV never reset.

Oh, the TiVo did its job, but since the cable box wasn't on bypass, it only recorded hours and hours of blank screens. Ugh. Luckily, Lost replays the previous weeks episode the next week, and I know I can watch most shows on the computer, but it isn't the same.

The worst part about it was that I missed the first part of the Top Chef finale and when I rescheduled it to record again, the guide effed me and instead of part I of the finale I got an old episode of West Wing. Blast you--you infernal cable guide!

Anyway, I saw enough headlines to know who made the final three, but I have yet to watch the entire finale. I am hoping that the third time was the charm and that the Lady naps soon!

The Biggest Loser Update

I am trying to fit in my Biggest Loser update blog, while my husband tries to distract the Lady in her room with crayons. She is quick to hit the keyboard and then start crying if I tell her no, so I have to be efficient and precise. I am also trying to fit it in before Lost premiers tonight. I still have to watch the final hour of last season's finale. I got a bit behind last year and have finally caught up with the last four or so episodes in the last few days. I tell you the best way to watch that show is on TiVo.

Biggest Loser

A good weight loss week for some contestants. We saw some good numbers from the black team, team brown, and of course the big guy Daniel. Ummm. . . is David even trying at home? Every time they show him he is eating fried food in his Biggest Loser t-shirt. He will be in for a rude awakening if he gets back on the ranch.

So there was some silver team drama. I think that there is something wrong, like mentally, with Joelle. I like Carla and I particularly like her drive to succeed but listening to her yell at Joelle for 10 minutes wasn't good BL TV. I also don't like her enough to give Joelle another chance next week. Jillian's team--what were you thinking? Granted Joelle puts up low numbers, so maybe you thought she would be below the yellow line again, eliminating one spot for members of your team, but overall, silver team is more of a threat then red because they have so much more weight to lose.

I am interested in seeing how this decision affects the team dynamics in the house next week. Up to now there wasn't any real Bob vs. Jillian feelings, I think that will all change next episode.

Only one more weigh in until the partners come back. It should be an interesting week, especially for those women who posted big numbers this weigh in.

More to come next week. Off to my Tivo, three hours of Lost and Restaurant Wars on Top Chef! Oh TV, how you soothe my soul.
