Why I love New Jersey

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to a Botox party?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to completely furnish your brand new, ginormous, designed by you home with furniture you bought with cold hard cash?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be BFFs with a former/alleged actress slash model slash drug dealer slash stripper slash convicted felon?

Well, if you yelled YES to any of the above questions, you are probably obsessed with "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" just like me. Here's a little background for you...

Pictured above is Caroline. She's sort of the head of the family, the godmother if you will. She has three grown children and owns a scary dog.

This is Dina (probably my favorite.) Dina and Caroline are sisters who are married to brothers. Dina's husband doesn't appear on the show and she has a normal/healthy relationship with her daughter Lexi.Next is Jacqueline. She's married to Dina & Caroline's brother (are you still with me here?) On this season of the show, she was shown trying to get pregnant. She has since given birth to a baby boy - yay.

This is Teresa (not the best picture of her.) She's the one who pays cash for everything. She's a married, stage mother of three little girls. She has a ton of clothes. Her husband's job is listed as "entrepreneur." Um, right. Oh and she's pregnant in real life.

And finally, my least favorite. Danielle. She's the one who has allegedly done all of the bad stuff I mentioned above. She's part of the group because she's friends with Jacqueline (and because they needed a villain on the show) and she's just a horrible, icky woman. She has two daughters whom she tells everything to (stuff most normal mothers would not tell their teen/tween daughters.) She's had too much plastic surgery (she was the hostess of the Botox party.)

The season was only six episodes, which was not nearly enough. Seriously, last night's season finale was probably the best reality TV I've ever seen. It will be repeated a few dozen times this week so if you need an escape from your life, look for it and watch it. The last 15 minutes are so delicious. I can't wait for next week's reunion!
