So let me break down the blogging gender barrier that has previously existed in the Rogers house with a quick story. Today I was working at an elementary school in one of the wealthier neighborhoods in Orange county. While I was on the playground with my little guy, one of the volunteer mothers approached me. It is pretty common to be approached by parents at this particular school because they are extremely nosey, and always looking for new gossip. This mother, who looked like she was from the cast of Real Desperate Housewives of Orange county, which my father-in-law and I have recently gotten addicted to, hit me with a question that I had never gotten before. She asked me if I had recently been on a reality show. Of course I said no. She went on to say that she thought that she had seen me on one of the shows last night, knowing that they are taped months in advance of airing. In my mind I took a quick inventory of what shows were on last night. I knew The Bachelor was on but even in my most optimistic moment I knew that was a long shot, that guy is like 100 pounds. After that is over there is a show on that is called something like True Beauty, which is about insanely attractive people who are kind of mean. Maybe she was being nice? Nope!! She asked if I was on the Biggest loser. She must have seen the agony in my eyes, which I was desperately trying hide, because she quickly said "Oh well I just wanted to tell you that you are doing great if that was you." I tried to deflect by asking how my character did. She said "I think your guy got eliminated. I don't know, I was kind of tired." Of course I ran to the nearest computer to see who she thought I looked like.
And here I am just before I got eliminated last night.
I am hoping that there is someone else that she had in mind. Needless to say I have fallen in a deep depression that previously would only be cured by food, but know that doesn't seem appropriate. I guess I will be going back to the diet of water and Tylenol that was so successful for me in high school.
At the time I thought that this years Halloween costume was a joke. Now I know it was just my subconscious telling me I need to make some changes.

Oh man....its been a horrible day for me (see our blog) I SO NEEDED a good laugh. That lady must have been really tired, or really wasted, the night before!
I spoke about your blog at dinner and was told that American Idol was also on last night so perhaps that is the show she was referring to. I did watch biggest looser last night for the second time (consecutively by the way) in my life and want you to know that I was rooting for you. Sorry you got bumped off but your still in the running for $100,000 later.
ok--- What a b@#*^h!! But I'm sorry! We laughed & laughed though! How she even think that could possibly be you?? She must've messed with her vision!
Oh brother! I can't imagine anyone asking that question and insuinating that someone is overweight, which by the way you AREN'T! You are one of the nicest, kindest men I know and I think you are a proud father of the most beautiful daughter God ever put on earth- except Girly of course. So, chin up and head high and forget that awful desperate housewife, she is trying to make you feel bad so she feels better- I dislike people like that and avoid them at all costs
Wait, I'm confused. Was that you on Biggest Loser or not?
I can't stop laughing, my fam got a good laugh out of it too. By the way, does the water and tylenol thing really work?
OK dude, HILARIOUS! What's even better is that the first time I read it I kind of went fast and I totally thought Kelly was writing this... which on quite a few levels makes it even funnier. But either way, you've earned a few bonafide LOLs from our house.
What the heck! so rude! Hopefully that cute baby you've got makes up for insult. I'm sorry we missed you the other weekend, but we LOVE Savannah. Ash is in 7th heaven with another girl.
