That wasn't a tapeworm....

.... And we're back.....

Thank you, NBC, for a great season 5 premiere. It was well-enjoyed.







A few notes to ponder...

  • Dunder Mifflin weight loss competition - this is interesting because I just started a weight loss regime to lose 20 pounds by my cruise to Mexico... which, if I accomplish, I will purchase this dress from Nordstrom for a lot of moolah and wear it on the cruise and to my company Christmas party. Today's weigh-in = Four pounds lost this week! WOHOO!!! I tried to start a mini-office weight loss thing, so it's funny that this was the episode!
  • Mike and Holly... oh what an interesting season this will be! I loved the rap part. I also loved it when Michael "bought" Holly's tickets from her and gave her the idea he'd take her and then what does he do? He rips them up and offers to pay her the next day. As you can imagine, I yelled at the TV screen "Michael!! You're such a freaking idiot!!"Oh man... pretty dang funny. I love seeing them together because they're just so awkward. "I will exqueeze you"
  • Stanley lost seven pounds on his own. He was always so pleasantly surprised with himself throughout the episode, and I especially loved the photograph of him as a young buck.
  • Kelly really was my favorite part of the episode, though those of you who know me are thinking... um wasn't it JAM? (Jim and Pam for you novices)... well that was good too, though I have worries for the season. Kelly took the weight loss thing very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that she passes out from not eating enough and... something Creed gave her from Mexico, which nobody knows exactly what it is...
  • I can also tell you right now that the wardrobe department gets Kelly and Pam's clothes from Banana Republic. How do I know this? Because I own about three shirts I've seen Pam wear and one dress Kelly wore. On this episode, she wore a dress that was the exact same style but a different pattern. "I'm gunna look amazing" - I loved when she said it this time... all weak and looking like death. Soooo freaking funny.

Okay, what were your thoughts on the premiere? Favorite quotes? I tried not to give out spoilers for certain friends who haven't watched it yet. I see where your priorities lie....

Thought the premiere was a great way to tie up loose ends and start a bunch of new issues to deal with this season. Not sure if I like Ryan coming back . . . I mean, if you get rid of a character it's a little odd to bring them back next episode, but it could turn out really interesting. I also liked how there was the little clip of Toby at the end.
Best Quote: "When Michael told us that Jan was pregnant, he led us to believe that he was the father... by telling us that he was the father."

That dress is HOT! I know you Linds....you will buy the dress even if you don't lose all the weight you want. Just like Stanley: "I'll probably just take the 5 days off anyways." You are going to look amazing! (oh wait, you already do...) Ella ella ella.

LOVED it! Me and Deej were cracking up over Kelly. In fact, I am right now even as I type. I love when Holly peaks over the cubicle wall and Kelly screams out, "Just leave me alone!"

I, too am a little worried about the Jim and Pam. I don't like that new designer friend. I think Pam is exploring her new freedoms in NYC...and that may interfere with her past from Scranton. Uh oh.

I loved when they are posing on the scale for a photo how awkwardly Michael is posing and smiling next to Holly.

I HATE the drama going on with Angela and Andy and Dwight. So nasty.

I HATE Ryan. He's like a wet blanket. Really puts a damper on the party.

We LOVED when Dwight kicks over Stanley's cake. "Happy Birthday, STANLEY". He's such a spaz.

I LOVE how Andy's hair looks like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber.

WHY does Meredith have nasty hives all over her face in the beginning. Makes me want to puke. I love talking "Office" talk with you. Holla back, child.

I don't know if our computer was
