Bee Exposed! And the Return of the Nerdanderthal...

The Return of the Nerdanderthal..

The Nerdanderthal made his triumphant re-appearance last night. At approx. 7:00 pm MST, he lumbered over to a comfy spot and clicked on the TV. Within seconds, he was making all sorts of giddy Nerdanderthal noises...What is the reason for this creature's return to our humble abode? Big Brother has returned for it's 11th season...it brings out the Nerdanderthals like rain brings out the wild creatures in the desert...scary....

As with American Idol, the Nerdanderthal aka Chilly has rarely missed an episode of Big Brother since it's very beginning...11 years ago...He is in Big Brother heaven right now because it's on multiple days of the week and Showtime airs it's BB After Dark show for 3 hours every night....oy.....There is a blessing that comes with the return of the Nerdanderthal...it frees up my evenings for blog time! Woo hoo! Thank you, Big Brother!!

Big Brother has been on for 11 years? Wow, time flies...

I'm housesitting for a friend who's in Europe right now, and she e-mailed me from GERMANY to ask me to DVR the Big Brother premiere. I can't believe she e-mailed me from halfway across the world to ask me to do that!

JUST LOVE THE NERDANDERTHAL! I can actually hear his giggles!
Caitlin said…
I just made a button! But I didn't have a very good tutorial lol. I feel like I earned it! :) I did, however, snag your button!!

I just might enter to win your necklace...be very afraid!! I've never won anything before, so it's bound to be time, right?

Are Chilly and I brother and sister separated at birth? I love Big Brother and AI too!!

112?! I would be melting!!
Ashley said…
We love BB too! We watch it every summer - or at least I do. The hubbs watches it when he's home :)
Can we saw gross on Jesse being back? Uh gross.
Unknown said…
I so don't get BB. My MIL and SIL watch it like it's the best thing since sliced bread but I don't get down like that...I suppose it's not trashy enough for me..lol.

Love the new button it's so going on my page in just a minute!
LadyStyx said…
The only show my hubby truly becomes a widower to is American Idol. Poor guy.

Cute necklace!

I think I have that site bookmarked on the computer upstairs. Gonna check it out again later. Lotsa neat stuff there.
I absolutely love my necklace from Kristen's! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you win!
Vickie said…
I can't believe Big Brother has been on that long. I never got into that show. The only time I knd of watch it was when "Yes, Dear" had Jimmy joining Big Brother. That was a hoot:)

Good luck on the necklace!
Kristen Andrews said…

Guilty - ...love Big Brother too...don't tell anyone ;)
Thanks for the info on the buttons - gonna go check it out!
Jenners said…
Seriously --- he's watched for 11 years! How does he stand it? We watched maybe the first 2 seasons and it was so ridiculous. And Julie Chen just drives me insane. But who was the secret houseguest? My husband watched the opening last night just to mock it but couldn't make it through the whole show. : )
Robyn Jones said…
well...she is wearing half an outfit anyways...LOL!
I will have to go over to Kims, and see what kind of "exposure" is going on over there...if ya know what i mean....(plus a chance to check out a new blog... :)

How could you not make this a FF post, Woman?! If this isn't fragmented, I don't know what is :)
LOVE the button, and I put it up right away :) It's adorable in here, BTW. Also, I LOVE Kristin's necklaces!!! Off to enter (sorry) and to read your interview!
debi9kids said…

Going to head over now to check out your interview :)

Hello my friend. I have been stalking you from my Google reader again, sorry. But I just wanted you to know that I do read and am missing your wonderful comments on my bloggy.

I hope to see another Wordle from you soon.

P.S.: Nice new color scheme. I like the header & button.

I love your button!! I might have to get off my lazy you know what and make one for myself :)

And your Friday Five interview was awesome!!
Liz Mays said…
You made your own button? I'm so impressed. I should bookmark her site in case I have techy questions.

I'm with Chilly on the BB thing. I love that show!
Marie Reed said…
ummmm.. this sounds really weird but I was thinking about beef-a-roni and then your name popped into my head bee-a-rosi :)
I've never watched Big brother. That necklace is cool. I've seen it in giveaways before.
Sad to say my husband and I have watched BB from the beginning too. I loose interest after a while but he always watches every one. But I do love football season....my husband is glued to the TV all day on Sunday and I am a free woman !!!! Have a great weekend.
~Sue~
Good luck winner the necklace!!
Do you want us to switch button?

Have a great weekend.
I love me some big brother !!

I used to watch Big bro and would probably again if my Tv dance card wasn't so full!
Michelle said…
Yikes! Here's hoping you stay safe and cool with that heat.

I have some quiet time right now so I'll definitely have to go check out that button tutorial. Thanks for sharing :)

And Neanderthal? That's my husband for the entire season of baseball. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!
LORI said…
AS IS TO BE EXPECTED, I BOTCHED THE BLOG BUTTON TUTORIAL QUITE NICELY! I SORTA MADE A BUTTON, BUT I CAN'T GET THE LITTLE HTML CODE THINGY LIKE YOU HAVE AT THE BOTTOM TO APPEAR. IT MUST BE MAGIC...! I PUT A LINK TO YOU AND TO THE APRIL SHOWERS BLOG--MAYBE OTHERS WILL DO MUCH BETTER THAN I! HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY!
That is a thoroughly helpful link indeed, thanks for sharing it with those of us who were not born blessed with the graphic design gene ;D

Thank you so much for the dearly sweet birthday wishes, honey!

Big hugs!

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
