New Day

I was thinking about the tone of my last post and how droning it sounded. Today, while not such a great day overall (clogged shower/bath pipes...in addition to all of the other awful house things that have happened lately), I've been thinking about some frivilous things.

I need to know why I am slightly obsessed with both Bethenny Frankel and Tori Spelling. While I'm a bit embarrassed by my slight obsession, I find that they both have very interesting (and similar) qualities. They're both very driven, type A personalities; are detail oriented, organized and environment oriented (their homes are well decorated, both are well put together women). They both seem so very down to earth (although somewhat annoying at times as well) and most recently, they're parents so they juggle the emotional, physical and daily demands of parenthood, personhood and couplehood so to speak.

I can't say that I admire these women for everything (they're both too thin and despite what they say about not having eating disorders or that they both don't diet - that's BS - they both have some sort of disordered eating patterns) but I can't help to find them interesting. I buy some of their books, follow them on Twitter and in some ways feel that they aren't too far from someone I could call a friend.

I feel better now - the ether (and my friend S) has this information and I'm liberated just a bit.
