Did the baby borrowers break up?

Filed under: Relationship Lessons • Comments: None

I was shocked to see the update of the Baby Borrowers. I knew that every single person on the show would change their mind about wanting to have kids right away. When you are 18-19 you should get an education, travel, stay in vegas hotels. Baby Borrowers made the teens see that having kids wasn’t as much fun as they had expected.

However, there was a result that I hadn’t anticipated. None of the couples stayed together. Granted, I knew that a few of the couples weren’t going to last because they seemed like typical teenage couples always breaking up & getting back together. I really thought that Jordan & Sasha would make it, they seemed really great together. I felt like Corey & Alicea had a chance. I don’t know exactly what happened to each of the couples but it’s strange that they had the same result. They seemed unable to answer whether it was because of the stress or reality of the situation. I’m just glad that they figured this out before they had kids.

It’s never the stuff you worry about

Filed under: Lessons • Comments: None

I was watching a rerun of the West Wing where they were trying to decide how to handle what could possibly be the first case of mad cow disease in the United States. The theme of the show was very interesting: it’s never the stuff that you worry about that is the problem. I know this because I worry a lot.

It’s always the things that just randomly come out of nowhere that had a 1% chance of happening that seem to be the problem. The things that you never could’ve imagine or totally dismissed because they seemed so improbable. I guess this means that I shouldn’t worry so much. That I should enjoy my life: shop, read books & diet pill reviews, laugh, spend times with friends. Then I can deal with problems as they arrive. I wish I could just stop worrying. It really doesn’t help anything. Now I’m worrying about my worrying.

Listen to Tim Gunn

Filed under: Relationship Lessons • Comments: None

Dear Project Runway Designers,

We’ve been watching you for six seasons & I’ve started to notice a trend. Tim Gunn is there is help you. He will come into the work room & call your dress fugly in the nicest possible way. He’ll say “I’m worried about this huge ruffle” Then the designer will say “I stand by my design. I think it’s fabulous”

Then they will go on the runway & the judges will tell you that your dress is fugly in the meanest possibly way. Tim Gunn has style. Why or why won’t you listen to him?

Sincerely,

Sarakastic
