I admit that I like watching some of the home reno programs that are supposed "reality" but I know they are scripted. Like The Property Brothers don't actually find homes for sale and will only let someone be on the show if they are already in closing on a house they found themselves or through a real realtor. On Love It or List It its the same deal. Most of the houses they show aren't even for sale. They film the people with both endings (saying they will love it or list it) and then producers choose which ending to show. Some where they say they are listing are not listing bc the houses "for sale" were not for sale and they are stuck with whatever renos were done to their house. They also take about a $20k cut out of the budget for "production costs". They got sued by at least one couple over shoddy work & taking budget meant for reno for the production.
but I still watch some of those programs just to see the renovations.
I really hate the super fake shows like the Repo men and stuff where if it were real it would be illegal. And I hate all of the celebrity "reality" stuff like Kardashians. I really don't give a flip about an Armenian mob family.
I know even the court programs like Judge Judy have fake/scripted elements but I like to watch those out of nostalgia bc my late elderly friend watched them every weekday when we would come over for coffee & cookies.
My plans for getting anything done have not one well. Between my exhaustion and the heat outside I can barely move. I had to let the dogs in early bc they were overheating. I did clean stuff out of the truck a little bit, but not enough. Couldn't be out there for more than a couple minutes.
I did go to Lowes and find some paint on clearance that I liked the colors of. Got two can and am trying to decide which one to use on my door (since Mom said she didn't want the color of my new door's paint to be white on the hallway side). Also went to Samsclub to get water and milk. Got the latter but they were out of the former.
My skittish cow actually let me pet her and scratch behind her ears so I got her sweet feed.
