Desperate Housewives (09-27-09)

This season premiere of Desperate Housewives had its moments and some very good but overall lack the luster of previous seasons. It starts off with the wedding and we find out that (drum roll) Mike marries SUSAN! Okay, as if we didnt already have more than a hunch that this was going to happen. Then the show goes back 8 weeks to show everything that happened leading up to that point. We see how Susan and Mike rekindled their romance and how Mike let Katherine down. Susan tried to avoid the confrontation with Katherine which led to her wearing her wedding dress and almost getting a pot of red sauce on it then ultimately showing up at her wedding, threatening for Susan to apologize in the middle of the wedding or else, being locked in a closet then making her appearance and still not forgiving Susan after she apologized at the church. Then there was Gabby who was not interested in taking Carlos' niece in. She was very hard on her, watching what she was wearing and embarassing her at a party but at the end she was doing it all because she cared and wish she had someone like guide her and signed the papers making her a legal guardian. Let's not forget the new family. They have some secrets and were connected to the choking of Julie at the end but was I the only one who thought Mary-Ann from True Blood used her claws to scratch the lady's back? Yikes! My favorite two moments came from Lynette and Bree. We see Bree in the midst of starting an affair, very out of her character. That should be very interesting. Lynette's story is very delicate and interesting. She already has 4 child and they are all almost of the house when she finds out that she is pregnant with twins. TWINS! She is not happy and tells Tom that she doesnt love the babies. I think that many women may have this feeling and I am glad that the writers are touching on this subject.

Fall Fashion Trend - Thigh High Boots

One of the 2009 Fall Fashion Trends is thigh high boots. This trend which was once reserved for street walkers is now chic and very trendy. The key with this look is balance. You do not want to wear a pair of these babies with a very low cut shirt. You want balance. We see how the fashion diva Jennifer Lopez is wearing the look with a wool coat and hat. The boot is the main focus of the look and this is very important. She looks sexy and chic without looking slutty (sorry, for lack a better word :-)).

Question of the day based on Alicia Keys and Swiss Beatz-right or wrong?

Could you date a guy going through a divorce?

Grey's Anatomy

Tonights episode of Grey's Anatomy was probably one of the best and most emotional episodes yet-I cried the whole time (happy and sad tears). Now lets think back to the finale-we found out that John Doe was George O; 007. Izzy was dying in Kerev's arms. Meridith and Derek got married via posted notes and a number of other things. This episode tells us who dies between George and Izzy which wasn't such a surprise given all the chatter in the news about George leaving the show. But the surprise of the night was the merger of Seatle Grace and Mercy-I am still confused so does the Chief still have his job or was the merger his idea and thats how he kept his job??? Oh, Christina and Owen are working things out through his therapy sessions to overcome his PTSD. Mark moves accross the hall from Callie which causes a little bit of jealousy with Lexie.
For the medicine, this show played more on the characters than the case-which was fine. Miranda had a case of a woman who was traveling with some shady friends had an accident and lost her arms and one leg. They were able to save the arms but not the leg so she faced feeling like she should be dead over alive. The spunky pediatric doc-Callie's girlfriend received a hard case of boy with back pain which she couldn't figure out but finally did of course.
This episode was wonderful, seeing the emotion of everyone when Izzy was saved and the emotion of when Izzy lived as well as Callie's standing up forself and taking a new job...which brings us to the question of the day.

If you know you should get a promotion or feel underappreciated at work-how do you communicate this to your superior or do you say anything????
