I am sick to death of hearing about the Carrie Prejean scandal. This is the thing.. I have no faith in the pageantry industry. Every year it comes out that all theses girls on that show have nude pics that have been in circulation forever. A pageant that should stand for honesty, integrity, good values, and intelligence has been reduced to a naked parade of women who have a vain sense of beauty. Carrie Prejean has: 1. lied about the topless photos that were cleary NOT taken on a windy day 2. Used the pageant as a way to get fake boobs 3. Isn't that much of an upstanding person in my opinion.
I don't want MY daughter looking up to some one that feels she needs fake breasts and nude pics to become famous or whatever that girl's real intentions are. The only thing that I agree with her on is that she has a right to her own opinion as everyone does.
You know, things in the media used to not bother me much, but now that I am a parent and much more mature, I get so discouraged by the world and what it is becoming. I hope that I have the grace to raise our daughter in an environment to thrive without the self absorbed stigmas that seem to flood thru the airwaves of television and internet.
okay... off my soap box
Yesterday was fun! Kinney came home early and rested while I cleaned my butt off so I could make dinner a good experience. My grandparents stayed and visited for 3 hours! I was impressed. We had a good time.
We have a full/funnnn weekend ahead! Softball games on Friday & Sunday which Cali and I will be attending! GO TEAM PEREIRA! :) and Saturday night its Dinner with Merdo and Josh who we ALWAYS love to see! :) Can't wait for some relaxation in the sun though.... I want a swimming pool!

I have to admit that I haven't been following the story about Carrie Prejean. I don't have a whole lot of respect for pageants, though, in a general sort of way.
