I was totally prepared to hate them. Truthfully, I really didn't like him very much after the first episode. But now I'm a fan.  A big fan.  I love her earthiness, his quirkiness, and their slew of well-behaved, personality-ridden children. And I can't wait to see what they get into next.

Just When You Thought

you'd seen it all?  Really? The latest from Bravo... Bethenny's Getting Married?

"As one of the breakout characters of The Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny Frankel has shared her social life with millions, and in her new docu-series fans will get an up close and personal look at her career. Viewers will follow the outspoken New York City socialite as she juggles her happy love life, plans a wedding and prepares for baby while managing her insanely busy schedule and career as a natural foods chef. Somewhere in her schedule she found time to write two books on healthy living - Naturally Thin: Unleash Your Skinny Girl & Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting (that quickly became a New York Times bestseller) and The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life - and continues to manage her line of Skinny Girl cocktails."

Hmmm.

Reality

Meant to cast on my fresh Elsebeth Lavold Silky Cashmere over morning coffee and finish a new project by dinner. Thought a few skeins would be perfect for knit & tonic's fabulous new Marvel Cowl. Check out the beautiful stitches on Wendy in the pic... 

But then I found The Real Housewives of Atlanta while clicking around on the flat screen after Barefoot Contessa. I hadn't yet met the girls everyone was talking about and felt truly blessed to have an entire season + the reunion smack-down laid out before me in a single day.

Unfortunately, much of the dialogue and some information critical to character development were captioned on-screen and required continuous viewing to keep up with the ever-increasing drama. Eventually the knitting became too disruptive, and I was forced to set the Cowl aside in favor of Nene, Lisa, Deshawn, Kim & Sheree.

Game on.
