Everybody Ought to Have a Maid

It’s judgment day on Wisteria Lane.

I found this week’s Desperate Housewives to be a tad more amusing then it has been lately and filled with witty one liners.

Julie comes home from the hospital to quite the affectionate crowd. Honestly, way to cheesy for me. Blah. At her welcome home party she breaks up with Dominick, but the decision isn’t mutual. Then, Danny and Dominick have a “man-to-man” conversation in which we find out that Danny and Julie were fighting the night she was attacked because he thought she was lying about having a boyfriend, which of course turns out to be his dad. Dominick tricks Danny into not telling Angie about the affair, but don’t worry, I’m sure it’ll come out soon enough.

Mrs. McCluskey is back this week and confides in Lynette about her sex life. “When he’s down, it’s global, you know what I’m saying?” Personally, I think they should put Mrs. McCluskey into the story line using something other than her sex life. Anyway, so Lynette hires Mrs. McCluskey’s boyfriend, Roy, to be their handyman. Turns out, Roy’s the only one on the show who’s not afraid of Lynette and chooses to get Tom‘s permission over Lynette‘s because Tom is the “man of the house” and Lynette is “crunching Tom’s walnuts” which of course totally pisses Lynette off. When Lynette tails Roy, he says “Boy, you’re everywhere. We should get you a bell.” Clever Roy.

Laura Miller, played by One Tree Hill’s Barbara Alyn Woods, accuses Gabby of being a bad mother because she doesn’t hover over her kids 24/7. This ignites a fire in Gabby to throw the best kids birthday ever for Juanita, at which a monkey ends up trying to eat a clown. Success? Not so much. Funny? A little. It was all typical Gabby.

A maid at Bree and Karl’s home-away-from-home hotel finds out that Bree is cheating on her husband and decides to give her a little lesson on morality. “Cheating’s not a sin when you do it in pearls,” the maid said, sarcastically of course. Turns out the maid cheated on her husband and ended up losing him and her boyfriend and is now full of deep regret. Bree admits that she feels awful, but has no intention of stopping. “If you finish your magazine, there’s a bible in the nightstand.” Dude, this maid is funny.

Katherine continues  her fight for Mike, face-flirting with him during the neighborhood watch meeting. It is there that Susan finds out about Katherine hitting on Mike and threatens to seriously hurt her. Then, Susan shoots Katherine in the shoulder at the end of the episode. Complete accident of course. Julie had it because she heard someone lerking around outside, Katherine the spy, and Susan being the klutz she is, fires the gun. Well, the gun was given to Julie by Danny and it was registered under the Bolen’s real name, so Angie convinces Katherine not to call the police because if she doesn’t Mike will totally get back with her. In your dreams Katherine. And Angie, we’re going to find out your secret eventually, so how about you just give us a little hint to go off of, huh?

The moral of the story is, what happens when we start judging ourselves instead of just judging others?

ABC’s Desperate Housewives

Feel it. Mean it. Show it.

It is easier to feel something and to mean it than to actually show it. If you feel it and mean it, then why wouldn’t you show it? When you first begin a relationship you probably don’t know each other inside and out yet. If you haven’t been committed very long or you don’t think they care, would you think twice about breaking up with them? Probably not. What happens when you have been committed for a long time and you feel it and you think they feel it, but maybe question it because they don’t show it? What if one person just assumes the other person knows how they feel by now so they don’t think they need to try or show it anymore? No matter how long you’ve been dating someone as long as you feel it and mean it, you need to show it. Otherwise at some point your significant other may not know how you feel anymore, or feel unloved because you’re not showing it.

All you need is love

There are 6,939,706,143 people in the world. Well, at least there was at the time I wrote this. Even though there are over six billion people in the world, sometimes all you need is one. The great mystery of the world comes with finding that person. The pain comes when you think you’ve found that one, but you’re not their one. If you do find that one person, the one person that you love, the one person you couldn’t possibly live without, and they love you back, well that’s pretty much the luckiest you’ll ever get in life.
