Jon & Kate celebrate Memorial Day...

Monday was Memorial Day and well, I didn't do anything in particular that could be considered in celebration of the day. I did things I would normally do on a Saturday-- except on a Monday this time. I think it would be interesting to see how many holidays people actually celebrate. . .

One thing that was super prevalent Monday (but did not hit my radar) was that it was the premier night for the new season of "Jon and Kate + 8". I am not a fan of this show... so I am not up on all the gossip but I was well-aware of the recent "issues" in their family as it has been splashed on the cover of many magazines in the past week. We were in the middle of our favorite past-time watching the Bachelorette when someone got up to leave to go watch J&K+8... she explained a little about why it was such a big deal. Then I saw a tweet last night that said, "Jon and Kate + 8 teaser foreshadows divorce." Then I just saw on US Magazine a poll where you can vote whether or not you think they should "stick it out." I mean really, we are going to let the American public vote on whether or not they should get a divorce. Then what? Tell TLC the results so they can decide whether or not it plays into their show? Or so that someone related or close to them can go online and see this poll? How would you like to know that people across the country and possibly the world were voting on whether or not they think that they life they see you portray on tv is worthy of a divorce? This is total invasion of privacy. But I guess when you sign on to do a reality tv show about your family you lose all claims to privacy? Hmmm... do you think they have J&K+8 dolls? Like how they make action heroes? Remember Quints??? I think my mom still has those saved up with my Barbies... hahhaa. Ok, so I totally get why people are sometimes fascinated with these lives... I do enjoy a good Bachelor episode and I have been an accomplice in stalking the blog boards after the show has ended...
