Some Of My Favorite Shows

H ey everybody, I thought I might give you some glimpse into some of the t.v. shows I really like. Actually they are mostly reality shows. Hehehe, yup, that's right reality t.v. OMG I'm a reality show junkie. "Hello my name is Harriett and I'm a reality show alcoholic." I mean what can I say, that's part of my entertainment. Now take Survivors for instance. By the way that's Jeff Probst up there the host of Survivors, sometimes I'd like to vote him out. Ha, just kidding. I love to see the contestants try to do something they never done before. It seems to bring out their real self, instead of a more reserve person. You really get to see peoples true personality out there, and their feelings towards certain individuals, such as race, religion, or other type of lifestyles. It's very interesting.

Now here's the other reality show I like. Now mind you these are just a few. I have a lot more of those shows to feed on. Like I said, I'm a reality t.v. show junkie. The Amazing Race, is a show of just really traveling. I like it though because I get to see the contestants interact with the locals and participate in other cultural experiences. This show also brings out the individual true personality of a person with their team members. Oh yeah there are 11 teams of 2. It could be a team of couples, mother/daughter, father/son or sister/sister and, well you got the picture. When I watch the Amazing Race-it usually tests the team members. It either helps them become strong and motivate to win, or the team members sometimes get on each other nerves. I notice that if they don't get along, it causes them to get behind, or actually a lot of the times eliminated. If they don't pull it together in time. I notice when they start to argue and disagree, they loose their head in the game, and that's it the focus of winning is gone. It's a really interesting show. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that the object of the game is as you travel from one place or country to another, there are AR clues along the way. some of those clues include what task you have to do along that leg of the race. You have to complete all task during that leg and do it in time to get to the pit stop of that leg and avoid being in last place. If you get there last, automatically as the host say's it, "I'm sorry your the last team to arrive, you both have been eliminated from the race." Then the team as myself to, get disappointed and have to discontinue in the race. Sometimes it's one of my favorite teams, but you know the race has to go on. So you see why these shows are my favorite. You can learn a lot from these reality shows, like how to survive in the JUNGLE, or learn how to book a flight (talking about Amazing Race ya'll). Also some more of my favorite, which is to many to name are Wife Swap, Big Brother-and The Chef Jeff Project. Really good show. A quick recap on the show is, this man who went prison selling drugs, was a cook in prison, got out of prison, someone took a chance on him, Chef Jeff became a professional chef. That's a long story very short, sorry there aren't to many details, but look him up on google-you might find some more information on him. So Chef Jeff, has this program with 6 people out of the hood that he is mentoring to have a shot in the restaurant business. These people have backgrounds of being on drugs, gangs, a very hard life, and Chef Jeff is giving them an opportunity to come up even morein their life. It's a great show and you really learn how, that if you can help change people's prospective of themselves in becoming more than what they think they are, you are able to transform their life for the better.

So what's your take on reality shows? What's your favorite and what do you get from it when you watch it? Tell me about it. I like to hear what you think. Oh and thanks for taking the time to hear me ramble on about these shows. Can you tell I like them?

Happy Crafting & Crocheting,

Correction

Hey sorry folks, I misspelled kinder in my post below, so please excuse that. After reading this, please scroll down and enjoy my venting out. I just had to get that out of my system. Being nice and not feeling respected is very frustrating. I know you all would understand that. But after reading that post, I wanna hear your take on what I'm talking about. Type in, or comment-I'm interested to know how do you deal with people like that. Thanks Treasure Ann

ConsiderateTone

Why do people sound so inconsiderate when talking to them on the phone? Not all mind you, just some. You are being just as polite as you can be, and from how it sounds in their voice-they sound like you did something bad to them. I'm like, well what is it? Everything going well for you? Your day o.k.? Did somebody made you MAD? Maybe your having some problems with personal life, I mean what? I didn't do anyting to you. Just being myself. I really don't understand people sometimes. Maybe that's life, maybe there will be times where we don't understand each other, or miscommunicate with one another, or maybe we give half the information and expect someone to fill in the blanks. We're not mind readers. The only one who can read minds is our good Lord above. so just a reminder, since He's the only one that can read minds, We have to speak up for the rest of us. By the way, thanks for doing that. My thing is, can we be a little considerate in the way we answer people or respond to them. How about trying a more knider, loving approach or tone. Unless your having a hard time getting your point across. I still think you can do it with some sort of love even in a firm way. Where's the love? Where's the love? It's not a whole lot of effort to give it. Besides we'll feel better. What's your take on voice tone (consideration tones)? Have you been mistaken in sounding mean, when you truly haven't been? Or, how about, how you've been talked to? Was the person being mean or is that the way they normally sound? Maybe we just need to get to know the person better. I guess that's what life is about, learning from each other, and helping one another in our weaknesses. Happy crafting & crocheting, Treasure Ann Oh yeah, spread the love, the God-kind of love.

Things Are Slow

Oh my goodness, to get a business off the ground is so hard. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but man, it's hard to. So much things to get right and tend to. I'm praying that the Lord would give some type of resource to get enough money to buy more supplies and materials without getting in debt. Oh God please help me. Any suggestions anyone on how to get some quick money, of course the legal way that is. Every idea, opinion and suggestions will be taking in all considerations. Take care everyone and have a great week. I'll be posting reminders to about the Christmas Cookie Exchange. I'm ready for it. Are you? Happy crafting & crocheting. Treasure Ann (AKA Harriett) Peace ya'll

Well this is part of my life that I wanted to share with my bloggers. I also wanted to give Laura from A Dozen Eggs, a little about who I am. Putting a face with the words. O.K. more and much better pictures next time.

How Do You Feel About The Economy

Should we be concern about the economy? Is it really that bad? How much concern should we have? What precautions should any of us take to protect ourselves about what's going to happen if they don't pass the bill? Let's look at the positive to help ease peoples minds. Let's hope and pray that our government will do the right thing for the benefit of us/our country. Here's a positive task to do, and get our minds off of worrying about the economy; what can you do today or tomorrow for someone to put a smile on their face. Find 5 people to cheer up, or do something for to help them in an area that you can assist them with. Doing this will keep your mind off the problem, and keep someone else from worrying to. Write in, let me know how you feel what's going on with our MONEY/Economy. Tell me what solution or idea you can come up with to help our nation. During this time of reflection, don't neglect your crafting & crocheting. As best we can do and continue to live, life has no choice but to go on, and we're expecting good results. Accentuate the POSITIVE!!! TTFN Treasure Ann

Holiday Plans

Wow, hasn't time gone by fast? this year is almost finished. Before getting to 2009, Let's talk about the holidays. What traditions and plans are you all going to make for the upcoming holidays. During this time of the year in October, we sometimes have a Harvest Party. Nothing big, but a few games, good food, and good fellowship. This year I plan to do something a little different. During sometime this month I have plans to do an Art Exhibition. I just took up painting and sketching last year, and I decided that I'm going to show off some of my work. My son likes to sculp things out of aluminum foil, he's really talented in that way. His work looks like spaceships, miniature aliens, even men look alike figures. He'll be displaying some of his work along with mine and my brothers. Now he's the artist of the family, right now I have a big poster in my room of a drawing sketch of a ford mustang that he actually sketched from a real model mustang. He's slowed down on his drawing, but hopefully this "Harvest Art Exhibition" will motivate him to get going with it. My theme food will be finger food, and for dessert, pumpkin iced sugar cookies (inspiration for that A Dozen Eggs-thanks). When I send out my invitations, which I'm going to make, will be in the form of an apple on a canvas. Neat huh? I like the idea myself. I'll let you know what my other tradition is next month. So tell me what are you traditions for each individual holiday? I'd like to know. Also within 2 to 3 weeks I'll be setting up a give-away. Of course something crafty and hand-made. The 2 items will be a crochet hat & scarf set and a beautiful elegant necklace. Only one winner though. But there will be other give-aways in the future, and you'll still have a chance to win something. More details on the next post, what the contest will consist of. Happy Crafting & Crocheting, Treasure Ann
