The moment you've all been waiting for...

I'm sure there are other things (probably other TV shows even) that you've anticipated more than what we're about to tell you - but this is indeed exciting.  So get excited!

Just in case any of you missed the memo - the season premiere of Melissa & Joey is tomorrow!!

 

Mel - “What was that, like 5 miles?”

Joe - “How about 5 min?”

Mel  - “Give it to me in terms I can understand. How many cookies can I eat now?”

 

Haven't you missed these guys?

Oh, and in case you thought we had forgotten - the bachelorette party was lots of fun (despite oral problems for the guest of honor *dang wisdom teeth*).  We watched 4 Wedding Planners (which was pretty good and has Sung Kang in it) and You May Not Kiss the Bride (it was on the cheesy side).

 

 

So I'd Like to Know Where You Got the Notion

Well school has been a steady part of the majority of our member's lives of late, so we do apologize for the lack of posts recently.  After a rather lengthy hiatus, we had a mini-TTWT this past weekend to celebrate a very special member's birthday :)  

Family & Fun (and for once no coupons!)

But on a coupon related note, we got a lovely note from one of the volunteers at the Air Force Base thanking us for our coupon donations.  Always nice to feel appreciated (and to know that they get all the coupons we mail).

Some of our regular readers may remember us mentioning the new ABC Family show Babby Daddy.  Well if you've ever seen the show you'll probably recognize this handsome gentleman.

And finally we leave you with a photo from the show that started it all - Melissa & Joey

P.S. The whole first season is on Netflix!

SEASON 2 PREMIERS MAY 30TH

What hussie wears khaki?

In light of our title post this week (brought to you by our Liberty student), I thought I would mention that there is a word in the English language called "whoredom".  And would you believe me if I told you that I learned that in church Sunday night?  I know, you're jaw dropped open on that one, but please close it - it's not very lady-like to sit around with your mouth hanging open. God told Hosea to take a wife of whoredom (Hosea 1:2 ASV).  Sorry, just had to prove I don't go to some heathen church and that I'm not making that up.  Anyway - enough of that.  Our young one was home for the weekend so we had a Saturday night meeting and enjoyed some a Common Law episode (it was actually the season finale, but we missed the episode before due to poor reception the day that it aired).  You can watch a clip here if you'd like.  It was a wonderful episode and we all loved the fact that it didn't leave you hanging, but we still didn't want the season to be over.  Nice to finally know why they ended up in therapy in the first place (and that they had been friends at one point).     Now all our shows are over for the season, so our meetings will be less frequent - but never fear we will do our best to keep you abreast of all our adventures.  By the way we had a semi-TTWT meeting on Friday night and had a guest help us cut our coupons (a total of 1lb cut and mailed the next day).  Well that's enough rambling for today - how about some pictures?  Yeah - we know you only "read" our blog for the pictures.

We unfortunately did not get to watch this episode due to technical difficulties, but it sure looked like a doosie!

We watched the season finale of Melissa & Joey too!  How could I forget that!?  We were all afraid he was going to marry her, and he did!  Sorry, should have called Spoiler Alert before that sentence.  My bad.  Anyhoo - it was very cute and it all worked out in the end (at least according to us it did).  See for yourself:

Well that's about all we have for now - zapatos & good evening.

It doesn't matter when - it's always a good time!

So although we set out to meet on Tuesdays, schedules don't always permit that, but it doesn't matter when we meet, it's always a good time!  Tonight we were down to 3 members, but we got the opportunity to skype with our youngest member who is off at college so that was fun.  Her most amusing question to us was "How do you put sound effects on a toilet?"  Our answer to that, of course, was that you can't - but it was amusing none-the-less.  So after enjoying a lovely dinner, wrapping some presents, and skyping we watched some Melissa & Joey.  What follows is a brief description of the episode: "Lennox begins and internship with Mel at City Hall, where she befriends a boy who works for Mel's "enemy".  Mel tries to teach her a lesson in politics, but that only backfires.  Meanwhile, Joe begins a long-distance relationship with a Russian women."

Joe: "Good grief, there's two of you!"

She shows up unannounced - although as you can see Joe doesn't really mind...

De Nada.

We were a bit disappointed in the lack of general common sense about the Russian women.  She's clearly only there for a visa (and to escape prison - it's just sad that she's using Joe)....  

We can't wait to see what happens in the finale - here's a sneak peak photo:

Well until next time - remember "Calendars don't lie!" That little fact just might help you win Jeopardy or something someday...  ZAPATOS!

The Long Goodbye...

One of our dearest, and most faithful members will soon be leaving us, heading off to college in a nearby state.  Although we are most saddened by this coming event, we know it is a part of life.  We were able to have one last TTWT and enjoy some of our most favorite past-times.  Some Country Rock Band and Just Dance were enjoyed, along with 2 of our favorite shows.

On the Common Law docket was episode 10 in which Travis & Wes get visits from their respective mentors.  It was quite entertaining to learn where they each learned their "method" of police work from.  They both want to respect their mentors, but they're really just getting in the way of their investigation.  Also, despite the combined years of high school and college Spanish between us all, we couldn't figure out what "El Ingeniero" meant, and why they would call a drug-lord legend such a name.  So after a speedy Google search we realized it means "engineer".  Tricky, but still doesn't make total sense...it would fit better if it meant "ingenious" or something. Well as you can see - both Wes & Travis truly take after their mentors (whether they'd admit it or not).  Feel free to comment on all the similarities in this photo....

Can you guess what our episode of Melissa & Joey was about from this picture?

If you guessed Lennox learning how to drive, then you would be absolutely correct.  Lots of great moments - Mel told Joe that he is her "co-parent person" which was super cute and then she followed that up with a totally awkward (but funny) comment.  We don't want to spoil it for you, so we'll just let you watch the episode and see for yourself.  We also found this super cute picture on the M&J Facebook page:

Doesn't it just make you smile?  Go ahead, make it your desktop background, we won't tell : )

We're doin business...

So it would seem that our last few posts have focused mainly on men (and manly men at that), so we thought that despite the Olympic Craze, we should get down to  business and reveiw some TV shows again.  You know, get back to our roots.  We so enjoy the humor of Melissa & Joey and tonight was no exception.  Here's a visual of some of the whimsical events from last night's episode:

Our favorite line from this episode was "So when we meet in hell my flames will be on high and yours will only be on simmer"! hahaha does anyone remember that line?  Priceless :)

When Joe walked in on a scene similar to this one, his only comment was "You can just smell the crazy in here"

Then of course we watched Common Law because those men are fabulous.  Check out this photo:

Looks like they're arguing, which is probably true.  However they had a fabulous moment at the end of last night's episode where Travis opened up about his past.  It was very heartfelt and we appreciated it, as I'm sure Wes did too.  Although this episode is a few weeks past, we sure love this photo ;)

We were unable to find a photo of this scene, but this was our favorite quote from last night's episode, so we'll try to do the story justice. "Put a camera pen on him, him!"  Hahaha, Wes and Travis sure do fight, but when they have an ingenious moment it sure is perfect.  Wes didn't even blink an eye when Travis told him to put a camera pen on the pizza guy.  Wes just pulled out a pen and said "Are you sure?" To which Travis replies, "Yeah, he's a liar!"  Too funny....

We finished off our evening with some Women's Gymnastics and a round of hugs before we bid each other adieu.

So unfortunately, Eric Church has not made a music video for this yet, but you can enjoy the song anyway :)

Rolling with the Punches

Do you remember this episode?  We sure do :)

While perusing the M&J facebook page, we came across pictures of Melissa's baby shower.  She's pregnant, in real life, in case any of you didn't know that.  Check out this photo:

Melissa requested that all of the beautiful gifts from her friends and family be donated to Operation Shower, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting military families, who are expecting a baby.

That photo made us so proud!  Kudos to Melissa for leading by example!

I'm sure many families will be blessed by her gifts.

Since we only had one episode of Melissa & Joey to watch tonight and we were waiting for one of our members to get off work, we decided to watch the new show on ABC called Babby Daddy.  It's cute and funny at times, but sorta cheesy.  But, it does have Barbara Jean from one of our favorite shows Reba.  We do love the one girls hair though, it's super cute!  Has anyone else seen any Baby Daddy episodes?  What were your thoughts on the show?

Shpad's Birthday and some Common Bonding

Today was a day much like many others. Some went to work, some went to the dentist, some came home.

Now we are debating what outfit we should all plan on wearing for our family picture on the beach next week.

This picture is our new inspiration.

Ahhh vacation awaits us. I can almost smell the ocean breeze.




Due to some technically difficulties were unable to watch the beginning of this season's Melissa & Joey, but we watched some really old Friends episodes that brought some laughs. We also made it through 1 episode of Common Law, which was of course, highly entertaining.  Alas, we are left counting down the days until Sunshine & Summertime, Sand & Sun....yeah we couldn't think of anymore vacation "s" phrases - but we think you get the point.

ZAPATOS!

Here's one for the Side-Kick

We have touched on this subject before (mysaltysociables.blogspot.com/2011/09/pretzels.html), but I believe it is worth repeating - and today we will delve deeper into the importance of an assistant in TV shows. It could be thought of as  

*yes we just made that up, but I think by the end of this post you'll agree that it is valid 

For every Batman, you need a great side-kick and in the office world, your side-kick is your assistant.  

As we've mentioned before, Melissa's assistant Stephanie (from Melissa & Joey) is a great asset to the show.  She's hyperactive and has a crush on Joe, which always makes us laugh.  In Drop Dead Diva Jane has a great no-nonsense, go-getter for an assistant.  

Terri keeps Jane grounded and doesn't like to take crap from people, and makes sure Jane doesn't either. Plus the fact that she's a Private Detective (as well as an assistant) makes her super cool in our book.

In Fairly Legal, Kate Reed has a fabulous assistant named Leonardo Prince (usually called Leo for short).  He's enthusiastic, quite resourceful and he has a knack for keeping Kate out of trouble with her boss and her clients (yes, I paraphrased that from Wikipedia, but why rewrite what already works?).  

The character bio on USA's website states that Leo is “…unflappable, and, thanks to his vast and varied connections – and seeming ability to know what Kate needs before even she knows she needs it – invaluable.”  And they made my point – plain as day.  These assistants are invaluable to the shows!  Plus I like the added depth they give to the shows...the subplots and such.  Well, I hope that you'll agree with us that they're indispensable.  And if you have an assistant, please thank them, because you know you couldn't do it without them.


We also want to point out that although our poll was in no way scientific (since only 3 people voted), the Peach Gummies won with 66% of the votes.

Peace, Love, and Zappatos to you all.....

PRETZELS!

It’s been a long time since we last updated you all on our life – and other than a fantastic vacation we’ve just been catching up on M&J and clipping TONS of coupons!  Not sure how they pile up the way they do…. So we’re eating pretzels and cheese while catching up J

What state starts with Y?  Wyoming!!

What did the fish say when he ran into the wall?  DAM!

SHE’S NOT MY BOSS!  I’M FREELANCE!!  I wonder how many times Joey has said that in the show's  history?  Because he definitely said it a few times tonight.  And Mel's assistant Stephanie is definitely  growing on us J 

 She has a great sense of humor and she has the greatest lines.  Oh and seriously, Mel has FANTASTIC hair in every episode – it’s so unfair….  I guess that's a product of not having to do your own hair.  Maybe she's just born with great, easy to style hair - I've known people like that....

Some life advice from tonight's episodes:  When buying a fake ID, never try the baked goods.  They might have something special.  

CAMP

Well dear readers it's summer time and that means Camp.  Totally Time-Worth Tuesday has been on hold for the last few weeks, but coming to you next week we will be back together and will be sure to update  you on all the wonderful Melissa & Joey moments we all missed.

Zapatos!

Ready Ready Ready Ready to Run

Hello our dear followers!
Tonight was the first night of summer!  We started out our evening by taking on the local crossword, "seven out of fifty-eight correct!"  After the beastly crossword, we took a brief swim in the pool with "bo bo" the clown and our flotation devices, or lack thereof.  All the while singing and making whirl pools.  After freezing our butts off and spending some good quality time with our dear physician, we retired for a favorite chick flick. 

"Runaway Bride"!

 

Oh how we enjoyed the rantings of the old, but attractive, Richard Gere, the ever beautiful Julia Roberts and her crazy grandmother!

"Netta, cover your ears"

"I like his tight butt”
"Grandma"!
"Well I do"

All the while getting ready to mail coupons to the soldiers and preparing for next week's Melissa and Joey Season premiere!  So get ready readers next week is gonna be FANCRAPPINTASTIC!

Zapatos!
