Awkward Brainwashed Gilmore Girls


Awkward Brainwashed Gilmore Girls

Found a new show.

Awkward on MTV.

I'm watched reruns of the first season.

 It made fun of "The Secret Life of An American Teenager in the first few moments.

(Warning: this show contained Mature Contains)

What really catch my attention it took Gilmore Girls, and turned it on its head. (in a very good and entertaining  way)

Both Jenna and Rory have young mamas who gave birth in their teens, and Asian best friends.

Jenna also has another best friend.

Teen mom - the only common thing between Jenna's mama and Lorraine. Well in one Ep. Jenna's parents (yes, Jenna's parents are married) well they get stoned.

I say this show is "The Secret Life" meet twisted "Gilmore Girls."

Don't want to give anything away and have not seen the first Ep. of second season yet.  I'd recorded it but still have a few Ep. to watch of first season

Really check this show out.  (Yes, I realized that my blog has a christen theme and this is not a christen show - nowhere close [but God want us in the world but not of the world] And I want to write about the world we live in and with God help learn to live in that world but not be of the world.  And here I'm learning.

Nightstand Before

I'm back and back to my Challenge Clean Up. Here is my nightstand covered in books, papers and what nots.  Next time you see it I hope for the everything to be cleared away with only the lamp and maybe a book sitting on top.

Hope to post the after picture later today.

Later and Lord bless you,
Annie

From the Bookstore

These are the books I brought from the bookstore in the past week.

There You'll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones
Finley Sinclair lost her brother and headed to Ireland to find peace in her grief, what will her find?

Brush of Angel's Wings by Ruth Reid
I read the first in this series and loved it.  Once again God's angel Nathaniel make an appearance, this time to heal the hearts of Rachel Hartzler (who is not a typical Amish eligible bride) and Jordan Engels (who not sure he want to stay in the Amish community.)

The Merchant's Daughter by Melanie Dickerson
Picked up this book for two reasons, one the author is from Alabama like me and it's a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, just wondering how Ms. Dickerson going to put this fairy tale and God together.

What books have you brought this week or plan to read from your TBR pile?

Project Bed: After

My bed now looks like a chocolate mint cupcake with white icing (my best friend's words not mine.)

What I learned:
The room really does look better when the bed is made. (lol)

Nothing to Lose

Here a thought I had last night, I tweeted and post it on facebook last night.  Now I'm sharing it with you.

"Right now in life I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, don't I owe it to myself to try? Do more then dream"

I feel another challenge coming on... LOL

Project Bed: Before

Challenge Clean Up continues...I plan to change my plain mostly white (there is one blue pillow) into something more interesting.  Now remember my plan is only using what I already have, I'm not going to buy anything new.

(btw the photos are taking with my phone so not the best quality)

Ok, I'm off to finish this project.

Later and God bless,
Annie
