But didn't Meri Instagram story about her getting the many boxes and trunks of Christmas decorations to make her Flagstaff rental festive? 

So she busts her butt decorating the Flag home then spends Christmas at the B&B? I don't get it.

Maybe she'll have Bonnie close up the BnB and invite brothers and sisters to join her in Flagstaff festivities.  She could console herself knowing that she is spending Christmas with her REAL family, her SW and Kody don't seem to involve her anymore.

My guess is they might have to work and can't be gone very long or they just don't have the money and Meri is not paying for them to come.

And they burned the "emotional support animals" bridge so can't fly their pets for free anymore, and petsitters/kennels typically charge more on holidays and have to be booked well in advance.

Maybe a few less lattes and sugar-soaked pancake breakfasts and they might have saved a small fortune toward travel.  Plus it might have meant less padding around the arse and thigh area - I just cannot unsee that yoga mat photo.  If she's so large and gross down there at her age that I want to barf, imagine how she'll look in a few decades?  Positively frightful. 😮

And who refers to themselves as a "towel"?  Even if it's a spellcheck mistake, what on earth would the real word have been?  Tool?  Equally as ridiculous, LOL.

A mysterious message from inscrutable Mariah.  I take it they are enjoying a Christmas snack of veggies and stollen by candlelight with a jar of something unknown to me.  It's the 3 Aruba discs that have me stumped, too small for coasters, maybe they are sew-on patches gifted by Meri as an indication of a winter break trip for the 3 of them.

[laurakaye]

I think it's a carefully-planned out design for the purpose of generating comments and questions from her slobberers followers, such as - "That looks sooooo delish!!!"  "OMG did you go to Aruba??!  Was it super fun??"  "Veggies!!  Such a healthy and inspirational choice, Mariah!!  Good for you!"  "That bread looks AMAZEBALLS, you deserve to treat yo'self, sister!!"  Etc.  Etc.

The thing is - she was probably arranging, re-arranging, getting the mood lighting exactly right, and placing those snowpeas just so, instead of spending time with her true love and her doggies.

And I’ll be eternally grateful if it doesn’t get filmed for production. The most boring episodes on that show are weddings and births. Yawn. 

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

Well when Maddie gave birth to the spawn & tantrum boy, it did remind me to pick up scrubbing bubbles the next time i was at the store.

Another reason to like Michelle (and Logan) is that they've said their weddingk won't be on SW.  I can't see Snowflake saying no to TLC money.  She's greedy like her mother, and it would surprise me if SludgePudge nuptials aren't the most expensive of all the Brown spawn.  

[deirdra]

They'll probably visit the most fundamentalist wedding planners they can find, eat a ton of a variety of cakes, cry persecution when someone looks at them funny when they say they want two female grooms on top of their cake, and then get the most expensive wedding elsewhere, like Aruba.

[Sandy W]

Meri will be in her absolute glory planning the wedding down to the most minute detail.  If there is any resistance to cost, she will pull out her arsenal of justifications, "I only have ONE child, I would have had more, if only......." blah, blah blah.

Her crowning achievement in event planning so far has been when Maddie designated her to co-ordinate the order of procession of her wedding.  Meri, with clipboard in hand and sensible wedgies, raced up and down that lineup as if she was in charge of a presidential or royal event.  She did get the job done but it reminded me more of a Westminster Kennel dog show than a weddingk.

Ah yes, Meri bellowing, "You forgot the rings, but whatever!" was the hallmark of a discreet professional.  😆

My prediction:  Meri will absolutely go to the mat in fambly meetings to get Mariah the biggest bridal budget ever.  Mariah will take every penny but other than that Meri's input will not be welcome.

Pudge & Sludge's weddingk will probably be even more like the Westminster dog show, as Mosby & Koda will probably be part of the weddingk party.

I have some friends (older--second wedding) who had a lovely formal outdoor wedding.  Their two dogs delivered the rings, which were tied on their collars.  Since everyone in attendance knew the dogs, it was a very nice touch.  There was a dog wrangler that was in charge of the dogs and kept them on leashes until their "big moment", and then took them away.  It was actually very tasteful.  The dogs were not allowed to mingle with the guests!

I was watching the 1994 version of Little Women which made me wonder if Claire Danes' version of Beth was Mariah's incentive to dye her hair dark.

Far be it from Mariah to actually cook something.  Looks like Audge has the squinty-eyed look just like her LOHL.  Ugh.

Audrey's been heavy for a while. She also appears so..........old. Since she's had a history of eating disorders, she can't truly be happy at that size. It's gotta be eating at her (pun intended). It'll just get harder as she gets older if she doesn't tackle it now. It is difficult, however, for anyone who's been anorexic to drop weight without going down that rabbit hole. 

[ginger90]

 

[xwordfanatik]

Mariah's profile is almost as witchy as Robyn's.  That smug look does not become you, Pudge.

They post the crappiest selfies.  Nose picking = not a good look.

I think it was the angle that made her look heavier. The chins. 

 

ETA - looked at those story shots again. It's interesting, isn't it, that while Mariah is definitely on the chunky side, she looks almost skinny next to Audrey and their friends.  Do you think there's an ulterior motive - the need to feel/be "better than"?

Another "say cheese" grin and an awkward, eyes closed pose from Pudge that makes her look like she's examining Sludge's pores.  Doesn't exactly scream babylove to me.

[Fig Newton]

As I go through these things quickly, I thought this was Tony at first glance. Also thought it was Tony at second glance. By the third glance, I thought Tony got a haircut...........

[Galloway Cave]

I think she is just tweaking her nose ring in that picture. I catch myself doing the same thing when my ring moves into a position I don't like or the seam is visible.

To me, closing one's eyes like that is a way of avoiding eye contact. 

I'm not sure Audrey is 100% on board with this and that might be one of the reasons we haven't seen a marriage happen yet. 

I've seen my share of people who are in relationships for reasons other than feeling real romantic love for the other person, and this might be one of those times. Either they're afraid of being alone, or they don't want to hurt the other person, or they feel trapped. 

I'm leaning toward Audrey feeling trapped and that she now has to go through with it because of the high visibility and yup, maybe even financial reasons (TLC and People Magazine $$).  So since she doesn't feel the same way as Mariah she avoids eye contact.  Remember not too long ago she was reportedly going through depression?

I was just going to post the same sentiment...I have the feeling that Audge would like some room to breathe, away from Mariah, but doesn't know how to do it.  Just a feeling I get when I see their posts and read Mariah's melodramatic words of lurrrrrrrrrrve.

Yeah, I think Mariah knows on some level what's up and she's attempting to bind Audrey to her with these over the top declarations.

How shallow do you have to be to think that anyone gives two hoots about your plates of food.  Enough, already.

I love Fred Willard!  He was so great on Roseanne, and he was in two of my favorite movies,  A Mighty Wind, and How to Beat the High Cost of Living.

I must confess:  I went to a convention several years ago, and one of my tablemates took pictures of what we were served.  I thought, WTF?  Who does that?  Apparently Mariah thinks that is post worthy.  I beg to differ.  Never done that, and never will.  Who the hell gives a shit?

It would be a cold day in hell but I guess if it were something entirely unique I might do a snap to remember it.  Or something I wanted to try to copy. But I would never in a million post it on SM.  It's food for the love of all that is holy.

Well to be fair Galloway Cave posted that she might be fiddling with her nose ring.

It looked like picking but I guess it could be nose ring adjusting...

Either way it's a pet peeve of mine...KEEP YOUR FINGERS OUT OF YOUR NOSE in public!  😲

Why does she have to spend Christmas away from her family?

And what does it mean to be a “towel”? I can’t figure that one out.

If it wasn't a mistake and she meant to post "towel" I have a guess that she might be using "towel" the way Michael Jackson meant "blanket" and named his youngest "Blanket"

It's a symbol of a warm, cozy, safe place that comforts you like a security blanket.

I read a story about Michael Jackson befriending an old time Hollywood star and his wife (I think it was Gregory Peck and his wife) and they had a little dog named blanket and that's where Michael got the idea.

Maybe when Mariah is a "towel" she's a WET BLANKET and Sludge warms her up and cuddles her back to blanket phase. 

Or I could be completely wrong and she's just a moron and it's a typo. 😂

I was thinking the same thing... I think Mariah was enjoying being the skinny girl 

The little video didn't have any purpose other than showing how large the other three are... It wasn't like it they were doing anything other than just standing there.... Looking larger than Pudge lol

But Mariah probably took a photo of it and posted it on social media because it looked like she was picking her nose.  I do like Audge's hair like this.
