New New Year's Resolutions
I've been doing, umm, a little less than stellar. However, instead of admitting failure, I've decided to make some little, small, tiny, revisions to my list of New Year's resolutions. Since making my revisions, I feel so much better. I'm not nearly the slacker I was before I edited my list.
1. I will lose 50 pounds this year.
Due to non-compliance, this resolution has been modified to now read, "I will lose 3 pounds this year." DONE!
2. I will not lose my temper with my kids.
This one has been changed to, "I will not lose my temper with my kids more than 20 times a day." SO FAR, SO GOOD!
3. I will keep my house clean.
This one has been amended to read, "I will keep my house clean from midnight until 7:00am on days that begin with 'M'." I HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT WEEK!
4. I will not let my laundry pile up.
This is now, "I will be entirely caught up on laundry at least once this year."
5. I will find a doctor and get a physical, I will go to the OB/GYN, and I will get a mammogram.
OK, I haven't changed this resolution because if I do, I'll have 5000 well-intentioned ladies yelling at me to do it. :0
THANKS TO DEAR OLD MOM(and by "old", I don't mean that she's OLD. She's young. She's very young. And she looks even younger! It's just an expression, folks. Really), I NOW HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER OF A DOCTOR OF INTERNAL MEDICINE. I ALSO FOUND THE NUMBER OF MY OB/GYN. SO YAY. NOW I JUST NEED TO COORDINATE POSSIBLE APPOINTMENT TIMES WITH WHEN MY HUSBAND WILL BE HOME OR WHEN I CAN GET A BABYSITTER. I'M WORKING ON IT!
6. I will be sure to make time for date night with Joe once a month.
New resolution - "I will try to find five minutes of peace and quiet in which to talk to Joe this year."
7. I will get out with girlfriends once a month.
No amendments needed here.
8. I will write my second book.
This resolution hasn't changed.
9. I will get more than 4 hours of sleep a night.
This resolution has been changed to, "I will get more than 4 hours of sleep this year."
10. I will wake up before 7:00 am every morning.
This has been changed to, "I will wake up."
11. I will finish things that I start.
This is now, "I will finish things that I start within a

Good thing I didn't make any resolutions. Saves me the trouble of all those revisions. Yours now sound doable, though. You go, girl!
I don't want to get a mammogram either. I'm dreading it. But I guess it will have to be on my list this year since this year will be the first time in 17 years that I'm not either pregnant or nursing.
Naah - maybe I should just get pregnant again...

LOL! I love it!
You made me feel very good about your "date once a month" goal.
When we got married many people gave us the strict advice to go on a date every single week--even when we had kids. But it was a lot harder than I thought it would be! So we usually go once or twice a month. And I was being hard on myself thinking that wasn't good enough until I realized, "You know what? Once or twice a month is totally fine and works better for us--so stop beating yourself up about it." So, thank you!!

Hey, nothings ever perfect the first time. If it were, we wouldn't need erasers, White out, or the backspace key!
Make an effort to meet them, if you can't, modify, which you've done. If you succeed, reward yourself! If you don't, congratulate yourself for making an honest effort. Either way you're getting positive feedback! That is so much better than having your efforts torn down.

Something strange is going on. I've received an update for Sunday's blog and then Thursday's blog. I wasn't sure if you were just posting every so often or if I was missing some updates. So I checked on your sight and here they were??? (I thought I would let you know.) I figured I would comment on this post since you said, "Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?" and I'm a Buhler!
I didn't make any new year's resolutions since my last one is still going strong...NO FASTFOOD!!! My husband and I decided to give it up last year since we have six children and we started a budget that didn't include fast foods! All in all we had enjoyed nicer restaurants monthly as a family and we lost weight. I lost 15 lbs and my husband lost 20lbs. An unexpected benefit was his cholesterol improved tremendously and he was moved into an "Excellent Health" category under our life insurance policy and his payments dropped! So now we save even more! I enjoy your blog, thanks for making me laugh!!

Yes! This is exactly why I holler at my kids to "Go make a mess!" and "Make sure you fight!" and "Beg for snacks!!!"
Because...then they obey, and we all feel good about ourselves.
Can't help it. I'm a child of the 80s. [grin]

Congrats on the 3 pounds! Now, try for that extra hour of sleep and getting to the doc, Missy.

I admire your determination to even have any New Year's Resolutions. I have six children too and the only resolution I made was to try and be sane at the end of the year. (Seeing as I started 2008 already half insane I have serious doubts that I will be able to keep this one.) I am very proud of myself, however, to be able to say that I have sent you a letter for Austin's project. It only took me about six days to get it finished - before children it would have taken me about 6 minutes. You should receive it within the week, I hope. Good luck with the laundry - that's a really hard one for me too!

In a land dominated by those of the female persuasion I feel it my duty to be the advocate for Joe. Give him the hard working man more of your time. Swap him with the "girl friends" place on your list. And be sure to tell him that I'm on his side.

I made three big New Year's Resolutions this year - but I sort of cheated...
#1) I will loose 40 pounds. Of course, I had a nine-pound baby on New Year's Day, and lost 20 pounds in the first month...
#2) I will put a stamp in my passport. Well, my husband and I are moving to Thailand this year to teach English, so...
#3) I will publish a book. Okay, so it's already written, I'm just waiting for the illustrator to finish the artwork...
See, resolutions aren't all that difficult, if you do all the legwork the year before!
- February 1, 2008 at 1:40 AM
Rofl!!! Soooo funny!! Congratulations... you're doing so well at keeping your resolutions! Perhaps mine need a few amendments too...

did you have this great sense of humour before you had your children? I just want to say that you seem like a very good person. To able to have so much time for your children and still keep your family together as well as work towards what you want is amazing. So many people have just one child and let thier dreams die. I'm 23 with no children. I don't really plan to have any either, but I do have neices that I love like my own. I read your blog everyday and it always makes me smile. thank you.

Wow! What a List!! You go-girl, More power to ya, etc.
I am going to turn 34 in August and after making the annual goal of "Lose weight!" and ending up 10-15 lbs heavier, I almost thought, "Maybe I should try saying, "I will gain 20 lbs this year." But then I was nervous that this would be the one time I would actually "Finish what I start."
After finally seeing endless Doctors for the past 10 years and finally getting the right Diagnose of Fibromyalgia, I decided my New Years resolution was going to be, "Enjoy Life More. Don't take the little things for granted." I know that sounds so mature, so thought provoking, so not like me.
I am TRYING to enjoy Life more, but with 5 kids, Laundry and Dirty Dishes are a HUGE part of my life (as I am sure you know ;) and I personally find those two things hard to "enjoy"
I really appreciate how you capped how many times you can lose your temper. I will work for under 20 times a day. (Potty-training the last child is driving me crazy, which for me is not a short drive.) I try not to let the kids witness everytime I lose my temper, but I now keep a pillow in my walk in closet and scream into it on a regular basis. (OYE!) Potty Training the others was not quite like this last little handsome man of mine.
Sorry to whine and whimper.
AWE!! SIilver Lining, I just thought of, Potty-training helps me not feel baby-hungry. You know, just for the that one-tenth of a second when you see a sweet newborn cooing at their mom.

my resolutions? Its only one: No resolutions to make up and to deal with....

I know I won't be popular with the OLD ladies, but if you're getting a babysitter, go out on a date (preferably with your husband) before your physical. It'll keep you sane. And everyone needs a sane mommy/wife.
- February 1, 2008 at 8:04 AM
My resolution was to go on a "no pepsi" diet. Figuring if I cut out those calories I wouldn't have to do a real diet. It has been amended to "no pepsi before 8 p.m." I really need it for my rum drink. You can't drink rum straight, right?
But, while I didn't loose the 10 pounds I wanted, I did loose the weight I gained in December. Close enough!

Hi Dawn, I hate Laundry also! I only have one child (well two counting hubby). My husband is a carpenter and works outside alot. He layers with four shirts and two long johns and jeans. Also 3 pairs of socks. So with that alone is 20 shirts a week, 16 pants and 16 pairs of socks! Why is it when we mom's do laundry..none of it is ours? Must be because we can wear the same comfy outfit a few days in a row. I can't Wait till Summer! Kristine in Michigan

My new years resolution was "I will take down my Christmas tree before February."
This morning I realized I failed. Oh well. :) It has lots of little red and pink hearts on it so I changed it to "I will take down my Valentines tree before March."
- February 1, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Can I just add.... "AMEN"..to all of that.And should we get points for good intentions??
You totally made me laugh though... "time with Joe once a month...not possible.... time with girlfriends once a month...a MUST do"!! You go girl...LOL
- February 1, 2008 at 9:36 AM
I love your resolutions. They are all great ones. I have actually stuck with mine thus far. Mine are to be more positive in attitude, have more organization, patience, and check my kids homework more. That'll do pig, that'll do. <---you are the great movie quoter, name that one!

I spelt lose wrong!!! I hate when people do that. Please, please, please correct it for me. I can't have the world thinking I don't know the difference between loose and lose.

Hey, you know your "lose 50 pounds this year goal" probably isn't as far off as you think. You've lost three pounds in the last month. If you multiply that times twelve months, you will have lost 36 pounds by the end of the year. All you have to do is continue what you've been doing this month.
Then just revise your resolution to 30 pounds (have to have a little wiggle room for Christmas, after all) and then if you actually stay on track at 3 pounds a month, you will have done more than you resolved. How cool is that?

I think if we just set our standards a little bit lower, we'll all accomplish so much more!!!
Getting up in the morning is such a good start!!!
My only resolution was M-Thursday to write from 12-1:30 every day. I did it for two days. I SUCK! But at least I'm aware of it!
I hope your resolution of getting together with girlfriends includes your new friends as well!!! : )

My New Year's resolution has been the same for several years:
1. Gather up all of the disposable cameras and rolls of film (purchased a digital camera five years ago) and get them developed.
Mission accomplished this year! 12 rolls and $50 later I have pictures of lego creations that my 16 year old took when he was 8 - this episode took him one whole roll to get two decent pics. MANY self portriats of my much younger then son. Pics from my Y2K party - everyone had to come in camo - and a few others that turned out okay. I have pics from two different birthday parties I had for my dad who's birthday is Feb. 29th, so I only throw him a party once every four years! I even now have a few pics from the last hunting trip my husband and son went on with my uncle before he was murdered five years ago. Of the 12 rolls probably a three rolls were worth keeping - thank goodness I didn't get doubles! I now know why I love my digital camera so much!
2. Lose weight. So far this year I've lost seven pounds so I can't say this myth is busted yet.
3. Go to the gym everyday...I think I'll modify this one to go to the gym when I feel like sweating to the oldies and when it's not cold outside! I made it to the gym 9 times in January...maybe February will be better.
Thanks for sharing Dawn! I always enjoy your blog!
- February 1, 2008 at 2:54 PM
No New Years resolutions this year, maybe this is the way to get things done;-))))
- February 1, 2008 at 3:38 PM
may I point out that going out with your husband requires a babysitter, while going out with your girlfriends (hopefully) does not- hence, it's easier to do. To the lady with the carpenter husband- I'm glad I'm not the only one who does ten loads of laundry and realizes that only three items of clothing are mine.

I am rather new to reading your blog, but you are very entertaining to read.
in response to your resolution # 3 and # 4 I use a cleaning your house tip site that really makes a difference in my house.
If you get into it and sign up for the e-mail reminders I recomend that you sign up for the daily reminder so you get one e-mail with the reminders rather than the several single e-mails a day, one e-mail helps you not get too overwhelmed.
well I just thought it might help you with keeping those resolutions.
- February 1, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Wow -- you are sure optomistic...and practical too!!!
- February 1, 2008 at 8:12 PM
I tried to keep it simple this year.
My resolutions are:
Go to the bathroom when I have the urge.
Brush my teeth as least once a day.
Take a shower, bath or clean up with diaper wipes each day.
Eat food each day.
Drink wine after 5pm.
Think Peaceful thoughts.
Make my bed on the full moon.
There are so many more, but I made a resolution to share so I'll give someone else a change.
So far, I've been doing great!
(I have to work a little more on that sharing thing ....)
- February 1, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I don't make resolutions, and now I remember why.
I do feel sorry for Joe, though--the girlfriends outrank him????
- February 1, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Great goals. I've got to schedule my mamogram and meet with the OB/GYN too. Too bad we can't go with girlfriends, then have lunch afterwards, then maybe I'd be more excited to get it done.
- February 1, 2008 at 10:40 PM
I love the resolution amendments, Dawn. Very apt -- and I'm very glad to see that seeing your doctors remains on the list (yes, I was one of the many lecturing you, sorry).
I totally get the girlfriends happening and the husband not. We're still figuring out if we'll make it for Valentine's Day, but I was just out with a friend Monday night, spent this am with a friend, have plans to do tea with ladies in Algonquin on the 15th, etc. The babysitting angle does make it awfully hard.
Oh, and my resolution -- to get to 135 pounds by my friend's wedding (which I'm apparently the MOH) on May 3. So far, 9 pounds to go. Whoever among your readers suggested Spark People, I love them! The site so rocks -- wish I remembered who it was so I could track them down, but whoops!
Enjoy the weekend!
- February 1, 2008 at 11:03 PM
WOW! Your resolution list looks exactly like mine - seriously. Well, except for the date night with with Joe. No offense, but I'd rather a date night with Mark, my hubby. So when you know how to accomplish this list, please post (or humm perhaps a second book), so I can then complete my resolutions. Oh here's a tip... if you have the flu for 2-3 days you can lose 8 pounds and that's a great way to jump start the diet - of course the clean house, the laundry, well pretty much everything else suffers... okay not so good. Well, keep plugging along, I'm right here with ya!

My resolutions are easy.
I will not strangle my children, no matter how much they push my buttons.
I will match socks before hubby runs out of pairs-at least twice a month.
I will clean one of the bathrooms or make a kid do it when it gets too gross.

- February 2, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Loved this! Where do you get this stuff, Dawn? LMBO - wish that was literally, though, because then I could feel good about some weight loss, too.
ps To all those first time mammogrammers - and especially to those who've given birth - COME ON! You've given birth, haven't you? That's about a 10 on my pain scale. They vice your boob for less time than one good contraction takes. And then you only have to do the other boob. Not hours and hours of more contractions. Just trying to put it into perspective here.
One more important thing - don't be alarmed if they "see something" and have to take some more pictures. They've changed the standards, so a lot more people get called back, but it does not end up being anything.
Good luck ladies!

This is the first time in a long time I've read your blog. The reason was Julian's passing. I had missed reading your blog for several days but was intently monitoring his day to day. When I read he had passed it literally made me stop my car and cry. I was on my way to pick up my own 4 yr old at her school and I had to pull over and literally sob.Not so much because he passed because thank God that beautiful boy will feel no more pain - but because of his Mother and Father that are left behind. I could not imagine one day without my daughter much less have her go through so much pain. I collected myself and suddenly felt the urgency to get my Katterina as fast as I could. When I saw her I hugged her so tight and repeated over and over again how I love her. She must of thought I was nuts as did her teachers - but it didn't matter. What mattered was that I was blessed to not only have my daughter but to have her healthy and rambunctious. I appreciate her every day but Julian's life has made me value every single moment I get to spend with her. I've realized its a priviledge that I've been honored with and one that I take so seriously. Even the thought of losing her devastates me to the point of tears. It's so amazing that a little boy I never met - never saw face to face could have made such an enormous impact on me and on this world in such a short time. There are no words of solace for his parents other than knowing he was loved even by people that never knew him. Thank you for your blog and for everything you do day to day in keeping it real. I'm reading your blog again daily even if as I write this I'm once again in tears.

WASHINGTON — The president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press on Sunday called the government's secret seizure of two months of reporters' phone records "unconstitutional" and said the news cooperative had not ruled out legal action against the Justice Department.
Gary Pruitt, in his first television interviews since it was revealed the Justice Department subpoenaed phone records of AP reporters and editors, said the move already has had a chilling effect on journalism. Pruitt said the seizure has made sources less willing to talk to AP journalists and, in the long term, could limit Americans' information from all news outlets.
Pruitt told CBS' "Face the Nation" that the government has no business monitoring the AP's newsgathering activities.
"And if they restrict that apparatus … the people of the United States will only know what the government wants them to know and that's not what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment," he said.
In a separate interview with the AP, Pruitt said the news cooperative had not decided its next move but had not ruled out legal action against the government.
"It's too early to know if we'll take legal action but I can tell you we are positively displeased and we do feel that our constitutional rights have been violated," he said.
"They've been secretive, they've been overbroad and abusive — so much so that taken together, they are unconstitutional because they violate our First Amendment rights," he added.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the government needs to stop leaks by whatever means necessary.
"This is an investigation that needs to happen because national security leaks, of course, can get our agents overseas killed," he said.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said the government should focus on those who leak sensitive national security matters and not on journalists who report on them. The Texas Republican said his committee should hold hearings on how the Justice Department obtained phone records from AP reporters and editors.
"What confuses me is the focus on the press, who have a constitutional right here and we depend on the press to get to the bottom of so many issues that we, as individuals, cannot," Cornyn said.
Cornyn said the Justice Department's actions were part of a pattern for President Barack Obama's administration to quiet its critics.
"It's a culture of cover-ups and intimidation that is giving the administration so much trouble," Cornyn said.
He also renewed his call for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign, citing the contempt citation the House of Representatives voted against him last year for refusing to turn over documents in a failed government gun smuggling sting.
White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said the president "has complete faith in Attorney General Holder." He also insisted the White House was not involved in the decision to seek AP phone records.
"A cardinal rule is we don't get involved in independent investigations. And this is one of those," Pfeiffer said.
Although the Justice Department has not explained why it sought phone records from the AP, Pruitt pointed to a May 7, 2012, story that disclosed details of a successful CIA operation in Yemen to stop an airliner bomb plot around the one-year anniversary of the May 2, 2011, killing of Osama bin Laden.
The AP delayed publication of that story at the request of government officials who said it would jeopardize national security.
"We respected that, we acted responsibly, we held the story," Pruitt said.
Pruitt said that only after officials from two government entities said the threat had passed did the AP publish the story. He said the administration still asked that the story be held until an official announcement the next day, a request the AP rejected.
The news service viewed the story as important because White House and Department of Homeland Security officials were saying publicly there was no credible evidence of a terrorist threat to the U.S. around the one-year anniversary of bin Laden's death.
"So that was misleading to the American public. We felt the American public needed to know this story," Pruitt said.
The AP has seen an effect on its newsgathering since the disclosure of the Justice Department's subpoena, he said.
"Officials that would normally talk to us and people we talk to in the normal course of newsgathering are already saying to us that they're a little reluctant to talk to us," Pruitt said. "They fear that they will be monitored by the government."
The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of personal and work telephone records for several reporters and editors, as well as general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery.
"It was sweeping and broad and beyond what they needed to do," Pruitt said.
He objected to the "Justice Department acting on its own being the judge, jury and executioner in secret," saying the AP would not back down.
"We're not going to be intimidated by the abusive tactics of the Justice Department," he said.
McConnell and Pfeiffer were interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press." Cornyn appeared on "Face the Nation."

Hosni Mubarak is out and the military is in charge of Egypt. Is this a soft coup d'état or a true transition to democracy stewarded by the military? On the surface, the pro-democracy movement appears to have succeeded without violence. Could the infant revolution succeed in bringing democracy and free and fair elections? This is an important question since the military is still in charge and the revolution is in its infancy.
The Egyptian regime has been kept in power for decades with an estimated one million Egyptians working for security services in the military as well as in the police. The security services have blood on their hands. With orders from the regime, these forces arbitrarily arrested, kidnapped, tortured, raped, and murdered its citizens who would dare to oppose the 30-year regime. In contrast, the Egyptian military has little or no blood on their hands directly, but they have used their influence and might to keep the regime in power. The role of the military became very clear in the removal of Mubarak (February 11) and anointing the military in charge.
The regime, in addition to their massive abuse of the people, has pillaged the country's wealth for their use. They have robbed billions of dollars from the treasury and used their power to grab corporate dollars in ill-gotten deals. In the same period, the people have suffered extreme poverty and diseases. Thirty million Egyptians live on less than two dollars a day. According to a UN–HABITAT 2010-2011 report, out of the population of eighty-five million, fifteen million Egyptians live in slums.
Since the beginning of the Egyptians' pro-democracy revolution on January 25, the demonstrators sacrificed over three hundred deaths and several thousand wounded. The demonstrators, amazingly, continued to call for peaceful demonstrations all across Egypt. What is next for the pro-democracy movement if the military reign of power subverts the revolution?
Before answering the question, first and foremost, the pro-democracy movement must choose their leaders along with a clear and unambiguous platform for democracy, party participation, and fair and just elections. The platform should declare that no country should interfere in the progress of their revolution. This will be difficult in an arena that has depended on Egypt for its cold peace with Israel. Immediately after the announcement of Mubarak's departure, Israeli media reported that Israeli analysts were happy to have Egypt's military in charge. They added that the 1.5 billion US dollars annually given to Egypt is the leverage to keep Egypt in check for the peace treaty with Israel. Let us hope that a sovereign democratic state of Egypt is the best guarantor of peace.
Ultimately, the next steps for the pro-democracy movement will be to lay the moral framework for their movement. The world was rocked by watching this peaceful revolution in real time. To remain faithful to the principles of democracy, the people must remain firm in their commitment to peaceful means, valuing each individual human life, and treating all of Egypt's citizens as having equal worth. The pro-democracy movement must remain vigilant, increasing pressure peacefully while demanding the dismantling the organs of oppression.
The events in Egypt are still fluid. We all hope this peaceful revolution will be able to become rooted in an Egyptian republic. If democracy holds in Egypt, peace activists across the globe will be ecstatic that two peaceful revolutions – in Tunisia and Egypt- have come to pass. The world waits as the cultural heart of the Arab world begins its march to democracy.

If you are watching Splash earnestly, you're doing it wrong. ABC's celebrity diving show is no game-changer to the reality genre. It's not going to dethrone The Amazing Race at the Emmys, let alone make the nominees list. Splash is terrible — but in the most amusing way possible. It's categorically ridiculous, daffy, harmless (well, except for you, Chuy), lighthearted, addictive and fun — and really, isn't that what TV should be? Don't believe us? Here are eight reasons why it's time to get off a get off your TV high horse and, uh, dive in.
If you are watching Splash earnestly, you're doing it wrong. ABC's celebrity diving show is no game-changer to the reality genre. It's not going to dethrone The Amazing Race at the Emmys, let alone make the nominees list. Splash is terrible -- but in the most amusing way possible. It's categorically ridiculous, daffy, harmless (well, except for you, Chuy), lighthearted, addictive and fun -- and really, isn't that what TV should be? Don't believe us? Here are eight reasons why it's time to get off a get off your TV high horse and, uh, dive in.
TV scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?
1. The judging: Let's get this out of the way: Splash makes absolutely no sense. But that's why it's so great. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the judging. This is a world where Kendra Wilkinson is scored higher than Brandi Chastain simply because she overcame her fear of heights. And this is where Katherine Webb was saved over Keshia Knight Pulliam because, in the words of judge and 2012 Olympic gold medalist David Boudia: "Katherine ... your dive was not all that great. But it's absolutely about the journey." Don't cry "foul" on him and fellow judge, three-time Olympian Steve Foley, so fast. Their approach is actually genius. Splash subverts all your expectations of a "proper" judge with a wink. Everyone knows that a competitive reality show is not solely about mastering a skill or "being the best," so why pretend like it is? For far too long have we seen reality show judges take everything too seriously. It's nice to see some who don't.
2. The production: Not since the Beijing Olympics have we seen choreographed sequences this insane -- and not of the "Holy sh--! How did they do that?" variety. Each episode opens with an over-the-top acrobatic Cirque du Soleil-esque pro diving number and each one is truly an event. Don't tell us you don't want to see people jump off a red-carpeted platform in ball gowns and suits to the flashes of pseudo paparazzi (read into that what you will), or watch a cadre of silver-suited men dive in succession before a red-suited one belly-flops from 33 feet up. (Symbolism! How Schindler's List of them!) Did we also mention the synchronized swimmers taking us in and out of commercial breaks? Why swimmers? Why the hell not?
3. Nostalgia: When was the last time you thought about Keshia Knight Pulliam or Drake Bell? Be honest. The answer's most likely a long, loooong time. But thanks to Splash, we get to catch up with our
favorite completely random stars from yesteryear. So what's Nicole Eggert up to lately? For most, the answer's simply diving on reality TV, but it's still fun to catch up with them nonetheless. Plus, who would have ever thought they'd see Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doing a backflip into a pool? Not us. Especially when everyone knows, "diving is a small person's game."
4. Louie Anderson: Anderson was undoubtedly the underdog of the competition, a label that he reinforced when he couldn't even get out of the pool during his first training session (coach Greg Lougainis had to get in the pool and push him up while Bell and Ndamukong Suh pulled him by the arms). And though we couldn't help but laugh at his earlier struggles (and rewatch it many, many times), we found ourselves cheering when he got up to the board and then decided to jump from a higher one -- all for the troops! One highly praised (and highly scored) swan dive later, Louie Anderson went from cannon fodder to the most likable person on the show.
Spring TV: Must-see new shows
5. The walkout songs: We thought nothing could be better than the San Francisco 49ers entering the Super Bowl field to "California Love," but we were wrong. Who needs Dr. Dre and Tupac or any mainstream, played-to-death hit when you can walk out to your own personalized jam? We highly suggest watching Splash with closed captioning because the lyrics are hilarious. Chastain's punk track? Brandi Chastain, do it again / She used to play soccer / Now she's hittin' the water. Abdul-Jabbar's sexy R&B duet? Skyhook (x2) / He's got the skyhook (x2) / He's undunkable / He's unbelievable. But nothing beats Pulliam's anthem.
Damn, girl
Rudy's all grown up
Damn, girl
Body's blowin' up
Damn, girl
All I gotta do is show up
Damn, girl
This place about to blow
Damn, girl
This ain't The Cosby Show
Damn, girl
Grammy-winning material right there.
6. Joey Lawrence's awkwardness: Oh, Joey Lawrence. What are we going to do with you? Mock you, that's what. But only out of Brotherly Love. That, and because you're so incredibly terrible at your job. Lawrence is not quite a trainwreck, but just like one, you just want to keep watching. In addition to an array of awful puns ("Ten celebrities will flip -- and maybe flop -- in a spectacular diving competition"), Lawrence truly proved his complete incompetence as a host when he interviewed Eggert before her first dive. In the worst pep talk ever, he reduced Eggert to tears after he forced her to watch her earlier fall in warm-ups -- while standing on the 16-foot platform. But fortunately, she had Lawrence on hand to restore her confidence. "It looks like your arms just, like, gave out," he stutters. (Note: The show is not live.) "Um, OK. Are you... are you all right? OK. So are you feeling -- after something like that happens... what's making you emotional?" Oh Joey, beloved symbol of our childhood, Ryan Seacrest, you are not.
7. The GIFs: From Wilkinson trying to booty pop underwater to Eggert's accident, Splash might be challenging Happy Endings for the most GIF-able show out there. Need proof? Check out the evidence below:
GIFs via The Big Lead, Adam Riff, ABC and Grantland.
8. Joey Lawrence's hair: "Whoa!" will be your reaction when you see whatever it is that is going on on Lawrence's head. The luscious wavy tresses are sadly no more. The guy is balding. But instead of owning it and going for a chrome dome, he's opted for some hair plug/dye job/transplant/spray-on/Chia Pet situation. It's truly the most inexplicable, fascinating and head-scratching (no pun intended) thing on TV right now. Once you get a look at it, you'll have one thought and one thought only: Can someone push him into the pool so we can see what happens to it?

A Japanese Meditation Garden
Seeking serenity
Japanese gardens -- characterized by stones, water, unusual plants and minimal amounts of color -- are traditionally designed to promote inner peace and serenity. Here's how Diane Hunter from Barrington, Illinois, created a Japanese garden in her backyard.
Gardening for joy
Diane became interested in Japanese gardens about 20 years ago because of the "wonderful feeling" she found in them. She wanted to create her own so she could feel that way every day. Her desire for deeper understanding led her to visit more than 80 gardens during four trips to Japan. Now, all she has to do is step out her back door for comfort.
"Whenever I've been troubled, I come here and get new insights," Diane says. "Some of my most joyful times have been during moments in my garden where I feel calm, protected."
Perfecting her garden
A retired biological sciences professor, Diane dedicates most of her time to her quarter-acre garden. Diane selected and placed each stone of the dry streambed (left).
"Japanese gardens are traditionally small," Diane says. To make a section look larger, Diane places smaller rocks at the back of an area and larger ones in the foreground. This creates the illusion of distance.
Because traditional Japanese gardens are metaphorical and signify spiritual lessons, finding the perfect spot for a single rock has, at times, taken Diane as long as two weeks. "I'm out at five in the morning, seeing how the light hits it," she says. "Moving a few inches in any direction could reveal quite a different view."
A sense of discovery
Curving, pebbled paths in Diane's garden enhance the sense of discovery.
"Early Japanese designers -- 1,500 years ago -- created gardens as places where we can experience the most profound personal insights about our short lives," Diane says. "But Western eyes have to be guided."
One way to open your mind to get into these deeper thoughts, she says, is to simply focus on details and live in the moment. "Focusing on the details of one pebble is a very different experience from looking at 50 pebbles," Diane says.
This idea, she says, applies to problems: Ask yourself if you're seeing all parts of the situation.
Four elements of Japanese gardens
Each item in a Japanese garden, whether it's a full yard or just the corner of one, is deliberately planned and placed to create a serene feeling conducive to meditation. Most Japanese gardens use four elements: stones, plants, color and water. See the next slides for ideas on incorporating these elements into a garden.
Color: Use it sparingly
By relying on structure and texture instead of color, you can meditate in a Japanese garden any time of the day or year. Bold color is rarely used, and comes only from seasonal changes in perennials and shrubs such as hydrangeas. In Diane's garden, seasonal color includes the bright red of Japanese maple 'Bloodgood' (left).
Water: real or imagined
Water, in Japanese gardens, can either be real or imagined. Fountains, like this tiered stone one in Diane's garden, can enhance the feeling of calm through the sound of water. But even without water, perfect placement of rocks can create the illusion of a flowing stream. "While viewers imagine water, they're free of worry," Diane says. "Their brain gets a rest, and that rest period could be called meditation."
Plants: harmonious placement
Japanese gardens use plants that look unusual or show special character to suggest a metaphor for meditation. The kinds of plants you use are not as important as harmonious placement. Easy-to-grow plants include ornamental grasses, evergreens and deciduous trees such as Japanese maples. Pictured: White fir Abies concolor 'Select'.
Stones: shape, color and personality
In a traditional Japanese garden, stones are selected for their shape, color and personality and carry specific meanings, so the placement of each is crucial. However, you may just place them where you think they look most pleasing. Smaller rocks at the back of an area and larger ones in the foreground create the illusion of distance. Larger rocks can represent strength when vertical, or passivity when horizontal.
Sharpen your senses
A dwarf Scots pine's gnarled branches represent endurance. Diane encourages visitors to sharpen their senses and focus on details like shape. Diane prepares guests for the experience of her stroll garden, but, as she puts it, what happens during the visit is up to the viewer. Japanese gardens, she says, can encourage insights about how to live our lives; about fears; about recognizing a core of beauty in everything.
One thought at a time
Pruning is a form of meditation for Diane, whose garden has given her countless hours of serenity. "We can only have one thought at a time," she says. "So if we imagine we're among the mountains, enjoying them, we can't think about some problem that has been swirling around in our heads, causing a headache. Most things are beyond our control. When we try to control things we can't, that's when we really start suffering. In the garden, we can let go and change our attitude."
Tour a Japanese garden
Illinois gardener Diane Hunter's travels to Japan inspired her landscape. If you'd like to travel through the Heartland for inspiration, the Midwest offers plenty of public gardens with Japanese influence.

East Bay Wordsmith Brings "the Smartest, Dirtiest, Funkiest and Cleverest Hip-Hop Alive Today" (Relix) to the East Coast and Beyond
Lyrics Born has announced a three week tour that begins October 16th in San Francisco before heading east for the remainder of the dates. The charismatic MC is touring in support of his latest release Everywhere At Once, which is being hailed by critics as his most ambitious and accomplished record to date.
-"Lyrics Born always has balanced a faith in old-school funk with a flair for quippy homilies. Here, he adopts the same wry, level-headed tack...the result is less an uncommonly danceable indie-rap disc than it is an uncommonly thoughtful groove album." -Spin
-"Everywhere At Once shows that Lyrics Born has talent to burn, with a refreshing willingness to make transcendent hip-hop that's as honest as it is inventive." -Associated Press
-"Rather than playing by the hip hop rule book, Shimura is far more interested in melody; he's rhythmically dexterous and his tongue-twisting rhymes flow with peerless ease." -Chicago Tribune
2008 has seen Lyrics Born touring across the U.S, Europe, Australia, playing major festivals such as SXSW and the inaugural Outside Lands festival in San Francisco. More dates expected to be announced soon.
Oct 16 - SF Weekly Show - Ruby Skye San Francisco, California Oct 27 - Middle East Downstairs Cambridge, Massachusetts Oct 28 - The Trocadero Theatre Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Oct 29 - Highline Ballroom New York, New York Oct 31 - Rex Theatre Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Nov 1 - Sonar Baltimore, Maryland Nov 4 - Agora Theater Cleveland, Ohio Nov 5 - The Eagle Theater Pontiac, Michigan Nov 7 - Majestic Theater Madison, Wisconsin Nov 8 - Double Door Chicago, Illinois Nov 9 - Fine Line Music Cafe Minneapolis, Minnesota
