Trust Me, you'll want to set your Tivos for this

I just finished watching the greatest guilty pleasure TV show ever (and I watch a ton of crappy shows which I deem to be 'guilty pleasures'). Next Tuesday night be sure to watch or record "I Survived A Japanese Gameshow" on ABC. It is so much fun. In case you missed the first show this last Tuesday (and hate to watch TV on your computer as I do), I'll catch you up real fast. Ten Americans arrive in LA to be on a reality TV show and are immediately flown to Japan where they discover they have to split into teams, the Purple Monkeys and the Yellow Penguins, and compete on a Japanese game show. The winning team, gets a reward and the losers get a punishment of some sort -- on the first show the winners got a helicopter tour of Tokyo, while the losers had to act as rickshaw drivers for 2 hours. Then 2 members of the losing team have to compete in an elimination round on the gameshow to determine who goes home. In case you have never seen part of a Japanese Gameshow before, they have the strangest, most humiliating games imaginable. Think "Double Dare" times 100. While I have to wonder who these 10 people are who were so desperate to be on TV that they signed up for any reality show without even knowing what they were signing up for, I am glad they did. This is a fun summer show - I was totally entertained! (I hope I didn't build it up too much -- it isn't that great, but it is totally fun and entertaining!)

OK, so there was my random TV review of the day. :) Chip is home today which is good except that his allergies are acting up again. So he took a much needed benadryl and is now pretty much just a sniffling and sneezing lump on the couch. Hopefully, his body will adapt to the new TX environment quickly and his allergies will calm down some. We had planed to go to the market and get some meat and veggies and finally do some grilling tonight! So hopefully he'll feel a little better soon. I have been looking forward to grilling in the backyard and maybe even eating dinner outside while Lily plays in the water. . . . so we'll see if all that actually happens!

I'll leave you with some pictures of Lily 'helping' me fold the laundry:

It is cute because she tries to help, but usually just ends up unfolding what I have already folded and I hate to fold, so that can be kinda annoying. So I usually let her play with the towels and socks. It keeps her occupied for awhile as she puts them in and then takes them out of the basket. I didn't get a picture, but when she was finally tired of helping with the laundry I noticed the basket was filled with more toys than actual clothes!
