Mob Wives Starts Off With A Big Big BANG!

Happy New Year readers! I hope you all ushered in 2012 with family, friends, and tons of excitement. I rang in the new year doing all three plus watching some marathons of my favorite shows in which one of them happened to be Mob Wives. The new season of Mob Wives aired tonight at 8 pm and I'm dedicating this post to my shot nerves and boiled blood because these women know how to rile up a crowd. I rarely blog about reality tv shows but tonight's episode was so good my fingers had to type something! Let's go through a little recap.

Last season, we left on a violent note as Karen Gravano and Drita D'Avanzo battled it out on a rooftop in an effort to bury their past which involves Drita allegedly dating and marrying Karen's ex Lee D'Avanzo while Karen and Lee were still an item. Sounds complicated right? It actually is. Fast forward a couple of months later, Drita and Karen are still feuding and leaving the remaining women in an uncomfortable position. Well, Renee Graziano isn't really focusing on this nonsense because she is preparing to go through extensive plastic surgery. She is working on her renewal and everything great it has to follow.

You know when that little voice in your head is telling you that you shouldn't do something but you decide to do it anyway? Renee had this voice but dismissed and went under the knife. After cutting out 35 pounds of fat from her body, she couldn't really handle the pain and after squirming when she should have been lying still, she ripped open the stitches from her back and had to be hospitalized. Her ordeal was nothing short of dramatic just like we like our girl ;). Nearly dying from a botched surgery, there are a few things that can make your life better and they are friends and family. She had that covered until Carla decided not to show up or even check in to see how she was feeling. The ever dramatic Renee was pissed and Carla is now on her "shit list".  Dealing with a disloyal friend and a near death experience, Renee decided to throw herself a party. Parties stocked with food and alcohol ALWAYS do the trick.

Everyone in Staten Island was invited to this shindig except for Carla and while Carla was ecstatic, she was worried because Drita and Karen would under the same roof. Days leading up the event, Drita texted Karen wanting to make up. At the advice of Karen's cousin and newest wife, Ramona Rizzo, Karen ignored Drita's pleas & decided that whatever happened that night would be left up to God. It's the night of the party and everything is set in place. Drita and Karen spot each other and do their best to stay in each other's respective corners. Here's where the confusing part occurs; Renee wants Karen and Drita to join her on stage. Um, did you not just break them up months ago? They're enemies...DUH!

Drita goes on the balcony with Karen and Ramona soon following. As the clock is winding down to 9, the episode is over but we do get a sneak peek and we see Ramona barking at Drita and Drita is trying her best to be cordial but you can only allow someone to yell at you before you snap......BOOOM! Drita socks Ramona busting the side of her lip open. Word to the wise, never stick your nose where it shouldn't be.

Thanks for reading and let's all buckle up for the wild ride that is sure to be this season!

XOXO,

Let's Raise Some Hell in 2012

Readers! As 2011 gears for a close, I wonder what you all are doing, thinking, and feeling. There's always an array of emotions when having to say goodbye to people, things, and years. No matter what transpired during these past 12 months, let's all hope everyone is working towards a "new year, new me". Oh lord even writing that phrase made me roll my eyes because, let me have my moment to be a little bit cynical, I'm more of a person who'd rather walk the walk than talk the talk but because not everyone shares the same views as I do, I hope you all find much success with your whole "new me" endeavor. What I think we can all agree on is that 2012 will not start off like this:

TV Shows - Full Episode Video - Reality TV Shows

Can't you tell that I'm excited for Mob Wives to return? Although I love these 4 women and their complex stories, no one should be starting off 2012 by feuding. I guess we'll just have to watch to see why Karen and Drita are still beefing. Ok, that moment of digression is over, let's get back to the post at hand.

I don't know why I haven't been in the mood to do a "Top 10" post since Thanksgiving because I am surely a "make a list" person; I have lists in my head, my planner, and my computer. Writing a list wouldn't be right because frankly because all of my ten things can be summed up with a simple phrase "Thank You".

Thank you to everyone who has allowed this blog to shine and grow worldwide. Thank you to my family, boyfriend included, whose unwavering support has kept me afloat and sane. Many thanks to those who have been riding with me since high school and college because we shall keep riding until the wheels fall off.  Thanks to the economy for not bringing me down with it. I was employed this year and able to spread my message of financial success to teenagers and adults throughout the 5 boroughs. Thanks to the new people who've entered my life and have hung in for the long journey because things shall only get better.

I don't really see a need to drag this post on because who wants to continue reading when the last day of the year has to be celebrated in style? Y'all don't have to answer that. Happy New Year guys and let's raise some hell in 2012.

XOXO,
Whitney
