The Real nonHousewife of Highland Hills
By the way, there is a writers' strike in Hollywood. And you don't need writers (or very good ones) for "reality" TV. Which is why I am watching "The Real Housewives of Orange County." (Note: I am folding laundry and cleaning the bedroom and getting ready for my 6:30 a.m. flight to Dallas. Because I am a REAL nonHousewife. With no servants. If I were a decent woman, I'd be doing crunches and all of the above.)
This show always has astoundingly, ahem...different views from mine, which is fine and entertaining and who cares. But for some reason tonight I am struck by how scary it must be to exist as the children of these women who seek nothing but Youth, Money, Beauty, Status and Stuff. What are you supposed to do with your life when every signpost you encounter directs you back to...(see YMBSS above)?
I fail a lot, but at least I am striving toward the right stuff? More or less? These women make me feel better about myself (and also suck my abs in a little). If I look strangely tan next time you see me, you'll know why. But at least Lucy will know a multisyllabic word.

You know you can't wait for The Real Housewives of New York. With even more YMBSS with a proper set of pearls. ;-)
Go to the closest mirror, and look into it. Repeat ten times the phrase, "I am enough. I do enough. I have enough." It helps me when I'm feeling scattered and/or inferior in my appearance or stuff.
The few times I've stumbled on this show I'm always surprised that the women allow the cameras to get as close as they do ... they look deformed to me!
I think it's safe to say that your golden as long as you're doing the exact opposite of that bunch. They scare me ... the embodiment of what humans become when they allow themselves to become completely self-obsessed.
