Seven Quick Takes Friday: Vol. 38

1.
Have you seen this show, “Take Me Out?” Honestly, I haven’t been able to make it through more than 10 minutes but from what I can tell… a single man parades in front of a panel of women (all wearing short, tight dresses) and his job is to keep their lights (of interest) on. Then once it’s narrowed down, he gets to turn off the lights of the women he is not interested in. I know that dating shows have been around since the days of “Love Connection” with Chuck Woolery, but it seems as of late, they’ve just become a little more… icky.

2.
Speaking of men being paraded in front of women, who’s ready for the movie “Magic Mike?” Yeah, me neither. I know, it’s directed by Steven Soderbergh and it’s based off of Channing Tatum’s experiences as a male stripper, but considering that visiting a male strip club is not the highest on my list, I’ll pass on the movie version. (For the record, I didn’t see “Striptease” either. The closest I got to seeing stripper movies was “The Josephine Baker Story” and “Chicago.”)

3.
We are almost 5 days into our new scheduling at home and we have hit a little snag… dawdling daughters. So I made the investment into this little gadget

We start using it tomorrow, I’ll keep you posted.

4.
I have a new favorite show, “On The Fly.” It’s about the goings on with Southwest airlines. I’m telling you airline customer service folks are Saints because some people are just asses. The ones that get mad about weather cancellations crack me up the most. Oh, then there was the kid who called his lawyer because he was asked to remove a sticker that said “Go to Hell Auburn” by a flight attendant. One thing that I love about Southwest is that they seem to have pretty high standards for their flyers. There is not a stated dress code for the flight but it seems as if club clothes, saggy pants and explicit T-shirts (and stickers) are a No-No. (His attorney advised him to take the sticker off, for what it’s worth.)

5.
This weekend is Father’s Day, and I am just now realizing that I didn’t mail our Father’s Day Cards. Mercy. I have become that woman who, if it’s not on the calendar, it doesn’t get done.

6.
Have you tossed a pillow in the washer lately? I remember as a kid, my mom washing pillows all the time. This past weekend, I put a pillow in the washer and it came out all lumpy. I had to cut a hole in the seam and try to pull the stuffing apart.

7.
The hubs and I started watching “Game of Thrones” this week. So far, not bad. (We’ve only watched 1 episode.) Graphic, but not bad.

  1. I caught an episode of On the Fly last weekend and thought the same thing! I can remember the first time I flew on an airplane thinking I want to work here when I grew up…yeah no thanks.
