Finally, the housewives of
Edie: Well, crazy Dave is off his meds because he kinda murdered his psychiatrist and then burned down the bar where he committed the crime to cover it up. So Dave has not been able to get a much-needed refill which has caused him to become more than a little edgy and bizarre. In fact, Edie woke up in the middle of the night and heard Dave’s voice coming from the dining room. She tip-toed downstairs and found him sitting there alone having a conversation with invisible people. When she questioned him about it the next day, he finally admitted that he was married once before but that his wife had died. But that was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back for Edie. She told him to pack his things and get out by the end of the day. Ouch.
Bree: Bree offered to host her son’s boyfriend’s mother for a few days so they could all meet their future in-laws. It would have probably been fine, except this lady is like the anti-Bree. She’s an out-of-work cocktail waitress who likes to kick back a few beers on the front steps and smash her cans with her feet. But she and Bree do have one thing in common – they both like to have their own way. So when the boyfriend’s mother tried to convince the guys to move five hours away to her town, Bree upped the ante and bought the vacant house on
Susan: Mike had M.J. and boyfriend Jackson was out-of-town, so Susan went out with her gay neighbor, who was in a tiff with Bob. They went to a bar, complained about men, drank too much wine and ended up in bed together. But nothing happened, except Susan beginning to realize that maybe she just doesn’t love
Gabi: When Carlos quit his job at the country club, Gabi insisted he get busy finding a new one. In fact, she even found one for him when she bumped into a former associate of his who was looking for an investment “shark” like Carlos. But Carlos had decided he wanted to work with the blind at the community center – a job that would inevitably keep the family struggling to pay the bills. They both dug in their heels, but Gabi eventually won the fight and said it was “his turn” to take care of things for a while. Hope that move doesn’t come back to bite her. I have a feeling it will.
Lynette: She’s definitely got the market cornered on the biggest problems on
There will be another new episode next Sunday, so stay tuned, set your DVR or meet me back here next Monday for a full recap of the action.

when so many of the mothers in my congregation nodded their heads in agreement. They knew what I meant. When January arrives, we’re bloated with what we’ve eaten in December, and our pocketbooks are light from what went spent during the holidays. We’re forced to eat oatmeal. The party is over, and it’s back to the boring routine. The Oatmeal Days of January are here.
I think we’re better off with something more practical like a 2009 To-Do List. (Notice the name has the word “do” in it, indicating it’s designed for action.) Nobody wakes up in the morning and scribbles down resolutions for the day. They write a to-do list because it means business. It’s not about ideals or goals or concepts. It’s about getting things done. Getting results. Plus, a forceful to-do list kept in a high visibility spot will absolutely haunt you. It begs to be checked or crossed off with one of those fat Sharpie pens.
