I Like Waffles

Marold and I enjoyed a day without Gene yesterday. We drank our coffee, watched our soaps, and then lay out in the sun on the patio for a little while. I took a shower, she went to the grocery store, and then we went to Waffle House and rode around afterwards. A waffle really hit the spot last night, and the side of bacon and cup of coffee were excellent as well. When we got back to the house, we watched Toddlers & Tiaras for the first time. That show is awful, but it's so intriguing. It's about little girls whose mothers force them into entering beauty pageants. One woman last night had 5 girls, and all of them were competing. Two of them were twins, and the mom obviously liked one more than the other. She constantly put down the least favorite twin, saying that her nose was too big, she was too skinny, and that she would always be beaten by her sister. It was awful. And then there was a little girl who looked like a pig, but she won so many contests, including Most Beautiful. Her mom used hand puppets to calm her down when she was acting like a diva, so that was really special to watch. Believe it or not, there was also a little boy competing, as well as his little brother, who was only 2 weeks old. The infant had a little tuxedo for him and everything. It was utterly ridiculous. Everyone appearing on that show needs serious therapy. Well, Gene is coming back today, so Marold and I are going to enjoy our last few hours now without him pestering us. We're about to go get some sun, and then I bet the rest of the day will be pretty uneventful. Mary, I'll be online later to chat, and you have got to catch up on Y&R. Some major stuff is happening!
