Today (LOL)

Wish we had grown up together so we could have switched toys (though it sounds like I’m about 20 years older than you).  I had an antiquated dad and stepmom who always gave me the "girls don’t do that" line.  Ugh.

and I certainly agree that there are times when she makes more sense than not.  Her concerns for Stefano’s revenge were well within the realm of reality, and I sincerely believe she was right when she told E.J. that the people he will seek to hurt will be the ones E.J. loves the most.  That much, at least, is a given as far as I’m concerned.

I loved the way they showed the action between the two fights yesterday.  It was actually so in character for Sami to not get upset with E.J. until she found out he had been doing this behind her back for 5 months.  I LOL’d when that was her main concern at first —- "AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME???"  Then, when she finally did get it, she began to make more sense than E.J. did.  Great lines there by both of them.  Awww, I was glad to here her say, "because I love you," when he asked her, then why do you want to marry me.  It showed me once again that the writer are serious about keeping these two together.

Justin and Adrienne are always a pleasure to watch, but it was so interesting to watch the fights side by side.  What a pleasure to see Justin stand up to Adrienne, even though her points were well taken and she was genuinely scared to death of Stefano taking revenge on her family, including Sonny.  Especially loved when Justin reminded Adrienne where all the Kiriakis money came from, inferring she wasn’t complaining how they’re living now either.  But having to sit back and watch Adrienne try to convince Sonny to leave Will and Ariana Grace has somewhat turned me against Adrienne, and I think it will be even worse for me very soon, since I believe she will not hesitate to turn that video over to the police when she finds it, especially now that she knows what Justin and E.J. have done to Stefano.

Kristen’s plots and schemes never get too stale for me as long as they are including other people and not just Marlena, although I realize that whatever she does, and whomever she destroys doing it, has Marlena as "End Game" written all over it.

Still think Maggie needs to STOP and TAKE A SEAT where Dan and Jen are concerned.  I don’t know how many times she has to be told, but I was quite happy when Daniel told her to "butt out" yesterday.

I hope Eric’s memory returns full blast soon, because I have a sick feeling that Kristen’s plan to destroy Marlena will be at his destruction, both in and out of the church.  Will Kristen plan to show that sex video at the opening of the new school?  Bummer!  Hello Eric, goodbye Father Brady!  Or will we see another Nicole to the rescue? 

Finally, Parker looked so cute with his new haircut, and now he’s watching the Sami/Bernardi video.  Even though I know it won’t happen, it would be funny if he dropped and broke Adrienne’s phone, or accidentally deleted the video.  Probably not, though,  — it’s needed to get Sami processed and on her way to jail, so I doubt that would happen.

Another great show yesterday, IMO.  I cannot believe we are approaching the August sweeps, and we are still getting great shows through the summer.  Thumbs up, writers!!!

February, May, August and November, although they usually begin the last week before a weeps month, like February starts around last week in January, May starts last week in April, August begins last week in July, and November starts last week in October.  That’s how they usually are shown, unless interrupted by preemptions; then they me a few days off depending on how many days of preemption are involved.
