Prison Break is coming! Prison Break is coming!

One week from today, people! One. Week. From. Today!

A Christmas Miracle

Do I really need to say more?

Probably not, but I will anyway. After reading my blog last week, my mother-in-law, who is one of those people that finish their Christmas shopping in July, went and bought me Prison Break. She gave it to me last and wrapped it and put it in two gift bags. I was shocked when I opened it. It is almost sad how incredibly happy I was. I felt I was 8 years old opening my Red Ryder BB gun.

I have already watched two episodes (one with commentary), and hopefully I can squeeze in one more before bed. There are 22 total, so I have a long way to go. I am really trying to get my husband into it this time around, but he just pops up in the family room occasionally throwing out little snarks about implausibility, then goes back to his room to watch Arrested Development, Season 3, which I got him for Christmas. The killjoy.

Aside from my wonderful Christmas (and I’ll tell you more about the whole Christmas trip and the tour of the state later), the children highly enjoyed their Christmas, as well.

Here is Georgia enjoying a couple of her favorite toys.

Hammer Away – yes that’s a Discovery Toy, not a Passion Toy – was a big hit, and so was the Circle Time doll which you get a brief glimpse of here.

I would post some more pictures of Georgia, but she decided early on that she needed to take off all of her clothes and unwrap her Christmas gifts while naked. I got some really cute pictures, but since my blog is already considered pornographic by the Johnson County Library, I’ll refrain from posting them.

Everything worked out perfectly, though, because Eli’s favorite gift was bath crayons.



Immediately after opening gifts, Eli wanted to take a bath, so he stripped down as well, and he and Georgia had lots of fun coloring the bathroom walls.

Christmas is now drawing to a close, and I am completely exhausted. I would blog more, but after a long day of putting cars together, reading new children’s books, doing puzzles, constructing Play-Doh towers and setting up an air hockey table, I want nothing more than to take a nice hot bubble bath and settle down in front of the TV to watch some more Wentworth Miller.

I hope all of my wonderful friends in the blogosphere had a very Merry Christmas!!! Ho Ho Ho!!!

Frustrations (aka Borders is the devil)

This morning, I made the very bad decision to do a little shopping for myself. You all know my obsession with Prison Break. I desperately want the Season 1 DVD, but with two children and this being Christmas season, I just can’t bring myself to shell out $40 for something I don’t need. I know no one got me Prison Break for Christmas because yesterday my husband came to me with a coupon from Borders good for 40% off boxed sets of DVDs!! 40%!!! That’s all I needed. I may not be able to spend $40 on myself, but I can spend $20-something.

I looked online last night to make sure they had Prison Break in stock at the Borders near me. It said they did. I saw they had the regular price listed at $47.99. I did the math in my head. (Okay, I really used a calculator, but work with me.) With the coupon, that would be $28.79. Still under the $30 mark.

So, I drug Eli out of bed this morning. Georgia had risen at 5:3o, so she was already up. Eli was not pleased that he had to get up to look for a Christmas gift for mommy, but I promised him a coffee drink at the Border’s Café. For him, that means hot chocolate. We rushed to Borders and got there six minutes after they opened. We ran in and searched for the Prison Break DVD.

When I saw a big blank space on the shelf in the P’s, I knew I was in trouble. I had the Border’s guy look for me just in case I missed it, and he had another woman look for him (because it showed in the freaking system that they had one somewhere). Grrrr!! They couldn’t find it either, so the guy proceeded to call all of the other Borders in the city.

He finally found a Borders clear across town that had one Prison Break DVD left. However, because of the coupon, they couldn’t hold any boxed sets. What did this mean? This meant the Borders employees were shouting “Good Luck!” as the kids and I dashed out the door. On to the next Borders.

Two interstates and several minutes later, we got there and rushed inside. Again. This time, I found it!!! My joy didn’t last very long because I soon saw the price. The “sale” price was $49.99. The actual price was $59.99!! I went up to the information desk and asked if the 40% was good on the sale price or the regular price. Well of course, it’s off the regular price. Mother f*ck! That made it $36, which was above my price limit, and the exact same freaking price I could get it on Amazon anyway, which I told the guy.

These employees weren’t nearly as nice. He started giving me a big speech about the cost on overhead, yada, yada, yada. What the f*ck ever! I just ran my ass all over town with two small children. And at least with Amazon, I get points back because I have an Amazon credit card.

I was so upset. And for the record, when I checked Borders.com after I got home, it did say $59.99, which means the f*ckers raised their price for the sale!!! Borders is EVIL! I must be PMSing.

Anyway, when I grudgingly put the DVD back on the shelf, my sweet little boy said, “I thought we were buying you that for a Christmas present, mama.” I said, “Oh honey, mommy doesn’t need it. It’s too expensive.” His response was, “That’s okay, mama. You can get it anyway.” I gave him a kiss and told him I didn’t need it that badly. He said, “Well, then we’ll go look for it someplace else where it’s not spensive!” My sweet boy! He is going to grow up to be such a wonderful man!! I bought him his hot chocolate, and myself an Irish Cream white chocolate mocha (not bad), and we went home.

I think I’m done braving the stores this holiday season. My birthday is right around the corner. (February 22 for anyone who wants to write it on their calendars), and Prison Break is high on my list of birthday wishes!!

Now, with all that talk of Prison Break, I feel the urge to post a photo of Wentworth Miller, which I shamelessly stole from Wet for Went. I love that damn site, even though my husband teases me mercilessly!

Prison Break - The Killing Box

Okay, who saw Prison Break last night?

Dude! I totally did. not. see. that. coming! Kellerman is now my new best friend. I think I may even be able to get over the fact that he tortured Sara. Although I can't imagine she's going to be very pleased when Michael and Lincoln show up with the man who just tried to drown her in a bathtub.

Anyway, in case you missed it, this is how last night's episode ended for their fall finale. Major spoilers if you haven't seen it yet.

No new eps until January 22. That's two freaking months! What am I going to do?!! This may actually be my last chance of the year to post a shameless sexy pic of Wentworth Miller!

Prison Break recap

Prison Break is pissing me off. I don't know that I'm going to start doing a weekly recap, but I have to get this off my chest.


First of all, is Sara a freaking idiot?! Oh gee, I think I will walk away from the one person who can help me whom I know I can trust. Yeah, that was a real smart idea. You have got to be kidding me. Where the hell did she think she was going? Does she have a plan? And let's be honest, ladies - would any woman in her right mind walk away from a man this beautiful? I think not.




Now Kellerman has Sara, and I have some thoughts on this. First of all, I think his days are numbered. He doesn't seem to be a real asset to the agency or whoever the hell it is he's working for, and other than chasing Sara, he doesn't have much of a storyline. Who thinks she will kill him? I do! I do!


I also have a hard time believing that Kellerman really wants to kill her. Wasn't it about two weeks ago that he seemed to get very upset when he found out they were going to get rid of her. That gave me the idea that he may have developed some sort of feelings for her.


Where is Michael off to now? I'm sure he will get his hands on another car somewhere, although I don't look for him to reunite with Linc and LJ before the fall finale. Does anyone know how many months we have to wait for new episodes after November?

And what about Linc and Michael's dad just showing up? Can we trust him? I am getting weary of who we can trust on the show. And I'm surprised nobody died tonight considering the body count seems to be awfully high. But I could seriously do without T-bag. And Bellick for that matter.


Sucre needs to get a better storyline. I really like him when he is interacting with the other guys, but I find his whole side story with Maricruz lame. I think it's because we only saw her a couple of times last year. I'm not really emotionally involved. Is anyone else feeling this?

What are everyone else's thoughts?

Prison Break

Okay people, help me! I desperately need Prison Break spoilers. This is killing me. Are Michael and Sara ever going to meet back up again? Because I’m telling you now, if we have to wait until the end of the season for that, I’m going to be seriously PO’d!

The episode scheduled to air in two weeks is entitled, “Rendezvous” so I have hopes. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Michael and Sara’s rendezvous. It could be Michael and Lincoln, or the bad guy (what’s his name, I still want to call him Lance) and Michael.

Anyway, I need some freaking spoilers!!!! Does anyone know a good spoiler site?

Update!

Yay! Thanks to Tracie for the tip. I have now found out that Michael and Sara will rendezvous. Briefly. Before she is captured. And apparently tortured. But hey, at least that's something.
