Big Brother 16: Watch Your Back, Frankie! Ruh-Roh!





This picture of the Big Brother Disco-Down Scene really broke me up - thought you would like it, too - lol!

Big Brother 16: Watch Your Back, Frankie! Ruh-Roh!  Sooo, Nicole got to stay in the HOH room, and hold her HOH title, but will that mean Nicole will back door Frankie?  Yikes!  Does he even see it coming? I love Frankie, he's one of my favorites in the Big Brother house, but sometimes a player will get soo comfortable with their position in the house, they'll forget that everyone is vulnerable, right until they WIN, right?  I hope Nicole doesn't put Frankie up, it would be much better for Nicole to put Zach up, if she is gonna back door someone, because Zach has been very clear that Nicole is on his hit list, now... and Zach said that right in front of Hayden, so surely Hayden will tell Nicole, right?  Or is there really a little something between Hayden and Victoria?? Hmmm...

Shockingly, Victoria actually pulled her own weight in the competeition, tonight, and won the competition with Caleb, so they took themselves off the block, but now they'll be Adam and Eve for 48 hours - Caleb's dream outfit - the less to wear, the better! lol!  But if they're chained together with a vine, maybe they will develop some kind of friendship?  Why is Victoria not able to connect with anyone in the house?  You never see her with someone else, except if she goes over to them, to talk a little game (it seems, a very little game...).  I'm sure she's a good kid, on some level, but maybe she alienates the other people, or they just don't believe she needs the money?  that's a huge part of how people feel about who gets to move forward in the Big Brother house... who actually needs the money?  It sure looks like Victoria doesn't need any more money - and she even refers to herself as a princess - who does that?  Yuck. I like a worker! lol!  A smart and funny worker - that's my fave!

So speaking of a smart and funny worker, I really like Christine. She is playing a great game, and I really like Derrick. He's so kind, and very, very smart, and a great family man - excellent traits in a human being! lol!





Soo, you know how I was concerned that Donny not agreeing to carry out the #TeamAmerica mission, last week, because it might damage his own game, might come back to bite him, right?  And tonight, we got to see Derrick and Frankie talk about how they really feel about Donny not carrying through with the #TeamAmerica mission, and I was totally right about that - they are piisssed that Donny cost them each $5,000 - $5 grand - that's a lot of money!  They may or may not win the whole Big Brother game, but at least they'd be leaving the Big Brother house with $15 grand, right?  Well, I hope all of #TeamAmerica stays in the Big Brother house long enough to complete a lot more missions, make more money : ) 

Okay, 'til next time!!  Hope you're having a fun weekend - and do you have Monday off?  I hope so! 


The Vacationers, by Emma Straub... what a Great Read! : > #TheVacationers #EmmaStraub #SummerReads

Man, I just finished reading The Vacationers, by Emma Straub, and now I want to go read everything written by Emma Straub!  What a great book - fun to read, great characters... you are drawn right into the world of the Post family, and you get to see life from each family member's perspective - fantastic character development, such a good read!

I couldn't put The Vacationers down, last night - was up 'til 5am reading it! lol! Now that's the sign of a really good book, right?  You justify staying up just a little bit longer, see what your 'new friends' are gonna do, next?? lol!

I hope we see a sequel of The Vacationers, from Emma Straub, so we can see what happens with Bobby, Sylvia, Franny and Jim...and Charles and Lawrence - what a great couple!  I don't want to say too much - I want it all to unfold for you like it did for me! lol!

Go find it - oh, and if you're in Amazon, just pop into the paperback section - is way less expensive....and we have no idea where our Kindles went...hmmm, they must be somewhere... but you can get the Vacationers on your Kindle, too, of course - yippee!  Even faster! lol!

Happy Reading!  Ailsa : )

Blueberry Bagels with Cream Cheese - Simple and Delicious! Aaaand, Healthy? lol!

These Blueberry Bagels are soo delicious - one of my favorite treats. I have been known to say, 'tastes just like cheesecake' - but in my mind,even better, because, for real, it's mostly just blueberries! hahaha!

See the first picture?  That's what they're supposed to look like, and those are great, too, but here's what my plate REALLY looks like - hahahahaha!

I just mound those blueberries on top of the bagel with cream cheese - I love the whipped cream cheese, but I haven't been able to find that in Canada - boo!  Come on, Canada, we like light and fluffy things, too! lol! Oooh, now Canada has my favourite Whipped Cream Cheese - thanks, Walmart!! 





You can sorta still see the bagels with cream cheese, right? hahaha!  Blueberries are really good brain food, so just think how smart you'a gonna be after you eat all of these lovely blueberries! lol!

We just got the 5 pound box of blueberries - looove blueberry season!  We're almost out, now, and I think you can see why...so, back to the store for another 5 lb. box of blueberries!  Yahoo!




This is such a simple dish, but it's crazy delicious, and really healthy for you, too, and the kids love it!






Oh, see the Rice Krispies in the background?  Because I saw Jimmy Kimmel eating them on his show, a while back, and now I need to eat some Rice Krispie Squares, too - hahaha!  The power of suggestion is very strong in me! hahaha!

Now, here's my new little trick that I've never done, before, but I really loved... you know how sometimes blueberries can be a little tart (like some girls I know - buh'dum'bum...!)...so I just spinkle a little bit of sugar right on the cream cheese, once it's spread on the bagel, then a little more sugar sprinkled on the blueberries... yum!! You're gonna love this wee treat!



See how easy?  And Blueberry Bagels are soo delicious! 

You have to be super careful when you're eating these blueberry bagels, though - you'll be enjoying your blueberry bagel, and whammo, there goes another blueberry offa your plate, right?? haha! Don't worry, you'll quickly figure out how to cup your hand around the blueberry bagel... and I suppose you could go mad and eat it with a knife and fork, but I think it's waaaay more fun to try to keep the blueberries from falling off your bagel with cream cheese... and you can just jam in the extra blueberries with each mouthful - sounds delightful, doesn't it?  haha!  So ladylike and dainty! lol!  

Go enjoy!! Or, please to enjoy yourself... lol!  Ailsa : )


You can always grow your own fruit - soo much fun!

I have blueberry bushes and strawberries in hanging baskets, on my balcony - you don't need a big space to have fun growing your own fruit, and if you have kids, they will get such a kick out of it - is soo much fun to pick your very own fruits and veggies! : )
