Howdy, Gasmii!  Thanks so much for the comments on last week’s recap and the very informative facts about breast milk.  Thanks – and ewww!

Let’s get right to our ep!

We open with Amber making the sacrifice only correct decision to skip the Minaj interview and go to Ari’s wedding.  Amber says that 2 people were counting on her, and she hates to disappoint either.  Considering Minaj has never even heard of you, I think she’ll somehow manage to soldier through that crushing blow.

Ari looks amazing, and her wedding is intimate, lovely and tasteful.  I say that with absolutely no snark.  Props for being classy, Ari!

Aw.

Over at Justin’s place, he’s having a painting party.  For one wall.  Shayla, Amanda and Scott are there, and then Amber shows up “late”, per Justin.  Amber immediately tells them all about Kristin’s epic fail from last week.  Amanda doesn’t believe Kristin had “food poisoning” either.  Scott, though, sticks up for Kristin and says she’s never done that before in all the time he’s known her.  He leaves early.

Amber then takes the opportunity to paint “Kristin blows chunck” [sic] on Justin’s wall.  I am impressed both by her super-mature attitude and her mad spelling skillz.

Needs a nosejob, too.

Then Amber – who clearly isn’t interested in painting that wall – plays Kristin’s voicemails to the group.  Amanda shares she’s never leaving Amber a voicemail, ever.  Based on the voicemail, Amanda and Shayla now believe Kristin may in fact have been ill.

Commercial.

Back to the painting party, where Amber is calling Shayla “wishy washy” because Shayla has rethought her opinion on Kristin.  Justin ends up throwing them out, and Amber and Shayla continue the argument in the hallway.  Justin’s neighbors must’ve loved that.

Onward and – well, not upward.  Cindy Margolis, after observing Kristin ignore her son, Nicholas, to play with the two daughters (and yes I know they were on the jungle gym, but the point is, get an activity that all of them can participate in), says the kids’ needs are changing. 

Doesn’t care if he’s alive or dead.

Over to Lucy.  Tricia Fisher has, inexplicably, hired Lucy.  Lucy is sure she and Tricia will be friends, and in that spirit blathers on about her (Lucy’s) grandmother, then her father.  Tricia shares she’s not sure if Lucy likes to hear herself talk, or if she is truly unaware that she never shuts up, and says she (Tricia) wants to turn it off.  Good luck with that.  Tricia then leaves to look at a new location for the Tree House, leaving Lucy with her child.  Lucy calls her boyfriend and invites him to a dinner party Tricia is having – at which Lucy is supposed to be working.  Lucy says Tricia is fine with her bringing Curtis, the boyfriend.  Right . . .

No.

    Great recap! But I have to respectfully disagree with you regarding the wedding.

    Ari was painted like a kewpie doll, her face so full of filler that she could hardly move her mouth to speak. The gown was so tight she had to hobble up the aisle – and how about that sequined reception “dress”?! It barely covered her hoo-ha as she writhed around the dance floor, and would have been tacky in Vegas, let alone on the blushing bride. The sight of the groom (1) expressing his “heartfelt” love by carefully reading the words, and (2) reading them from an iPad at the altar – was sheer comedy. It was like a skit and a laugh track would have enhanced the entire event.

    Oh well … it is what it is …

    How is Amanda paying her way out in BH if she has no job?

    Glad Justin got the job with the Faulk’s. It seems like an awesome fit for both parties.

    Lucy is extremely annoying. Wonder how she justifies her $40 an hour to families.

    Do these nannies have experience in first aid training, cpr etc?

    Good question, labowner, about the nannies’ qualifications in CPR, first aid, etc. I’m sure Lucy would just try to talk a drowned child into spitting out water and waking up.

    I wonder about the “qualifications” of these nannies too.

    Personally, if I had the means and need to hire a nanny, I would hire a middle-aged woman with children of her own and years of real parenting experience under her belt, not some young woman with some babysitting experience but little else in terms of qualifications, but that is me.

    Surly Girl – It was extremely disappointing to read your baseless, senseless comment. Our Wedding was amazing, my husband and little girl were spectacular, I’ve never touched filler in my life and my reception dress is designer. I suggest you swallow your sour grapes and get over your jealousy – it is of course, the ugliest trait of all.

    Thank you TVgasm for portraying our Wedding as it was – lovely and classy – unlike some of those who leave their uneducated comments on this page.

    Margaret– I totally understand your comment (about hiring a middle-aged nanny who’s been a parent), but I would like to point out that there are young nannies who are qualified. I have a BA in Early Education and worked in child care for several years before entering the nanny world. I don’t consider myself young anymore (I’m 30), but I’m also not middle-aged. And I’ve been with my family for over 2 years now and, with a new baby coming, it’s looking like I’ll be around for 5+ more!

    TVgasm–I’m loving these recaps (even though I watch)! I don’t always agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective.

    Ariane–I agree that your wedding was lovely. I was relieved that Amber showed up and enjoyed being with your beautiful daughter.

    Never touch filler in her life? Ha that is almost as good as Heather’s “I’m 98% real” crap.

    Ariane I absolutely LOVED your reception dress, you rocked it! And its not like you were wearing that down the aisle, that was the fun dress and it served that purpose perfectly! But of course there will always be people not liking this or that. You got a seal of approval from the recapper and usually they are the harsh ones so I think thats what you should be happy about!

    It would be neat if you continued to post on this site and whatnot too :)

    Damn I’m late to the party. Damn damn damn. I’ve been trying to catch up on episodes.

    I actually like Amber and Justin. Kristen is pure evil. Lucy is clueless. And sorry, Ari, but NOT buying the “no filler” thing. Nothing wrong with a little help as we age, especially in YOUR town. I think it’s mandatory.
