You are lucky to have been spared his first season. He was terrible on camera. Terrible, I tell you! And it was so sad to watch. He's cute, has a nice giggle, and he can decorate the shit out of anything. I wanted him to succeed. You can do eet, David.<BR/><BR/>Lisa LaPorta is my favorite Designed to Sell gal. "Clivey," she says. Pedersen just throws granite on everything; and she must spend like $10k on labor to get her outrageous projects done.<BR/><BR/>I love Candice Olson, that long-legged freak. Her Canadian folks were sooooo much better than this current crew incarnation. And the rooms that they used to makeover were more varied. Less 70s kitchen gets total overhaul and more terrible basement becomes livable space for 28-yr-old still living at home. Chico, the pint-sized painter, is the only one who got carried over.<BR/><BR/>Anywho. Yes, I enjoy HGTV far more than I should. What? Me? Unemployed?

While at the emergency veterinarian last week, I caught two HGTV shows: one about average schlubs like me remodeling a house and one about average schlubs like me landscaping.<BR/><BR/>Now my inner idiot is convinced that I can replace a toilet, retile a floor, and run an in-ground sprinkler line thing-a-ma-bob all by myself. I must be stopped!Twelvehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695804885806971912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35991244.post-26497867418533165662008-12-09T08:22:00.000-08:002008-12-09T08:22:00.000-08:00Apparently my dad and stepmom ONLY watch hgtv or style network now. <BR/><BR/>And what's awesome is to watch my husband watching me talk to my dad about a cornice board or fabric choice we really loved in that one "reveal."bgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12253441578993501345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35991244.post-12149273823389440282008-12-09T05:37:00.000-08:002008-12-09T05:37:00.000-08:00dude it was so bad I had house hunters AND designed to sell on the tivo. Yeah it was downhill for a while. but damn if I don't love that half pint Laporta, she is got some smarts of her own. a gradual taper and I was able to quit.Traceacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35991244.post-6739299317698090082008-12-08T13:06:00.000-08:002008-12-08T13:06:00.000-08:00Oh, nice! Love that! Thanks for the link. ;-) <BR/><BR/>And to clarify: It's not that Mr. G. LIKES these shows. It's just that we're both SUCKED INTO THE VORTEX.Gleemonexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00329310168801733659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35991244.post-25641558899937369632008-12-08T11:40:00.000-08:002008-12-08T11:40:00.000-08:00Oooh - did anybody tell you about the House Hunters/Int'l House Hunters Drinking Game? Spilling Coffee has the rules pretty well defined: http://www.spillingcoffee.com/2008/07/01/house-hunters-drinking-game/. I cannot make Husband watch this with me (he's too busy watching Steven Seagal or some other ridiculously awful non-actor), but I have no real problem with drinking alone...Princess Sparkle Pantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06034772999725516942noreply@blogger.com
