My thoughts on the Bachelor

Watching The Bachelor last night, my Monday night ritual ,was nothing short of the drama I have been anticipating...But what I got instead was utterly insane. I don't even know if I have words for how the show played out. Of course I know that ABC has EVERYTHING to do with the situations they put on tv, or what they want to have happen, but honestly this is ruining people's lives here. I have been a huge fan of The Bachelor since the very beginning...and enjoy almost every minute of it...until last night. Now I was indecisive (what's new) on who I wanted Jason to pick because the two girls have been my favs since the very first episode. But honestly how can anyone think it is ok to have Jason break an engagement with Melissa on national TV, only to turn 5 minutes later and be making out with Molly? I think that ABC had the three under contract for the final show, and any news had to stay under wraps until the show aired...they DID sign a contract after all:) I sort of feel like Melissa might have even know what was coming, despite her "surprise" at the After The Final Rose show. I ALSO feel like Molly has been in contact with Jason, regardless of what either say.

I could go on and on, but really I hope everything works out for all three of them. I will be curious to hear what is said on tonight's recap. Hopefully, it won't be as dramatic as last night's grueling 3 hours! I don't think I can handle that much more drama...at least until next season :)

Oscar Night 2009

As I sat down to enjoy Oscar night, I couldn't help but get hung up on the crazy red carpet fashion/drama! I went ahead and started watching the hour before the show started. M thought I was slightly crazy, so I went to the bedroom to watch in peace..lol! I knew he couldn't stand being away though, so he finally joined me once the show began. However, for the red carpet fashion I was definetely on my own! I thought I would recap some of my favs and not-so-faves of the night!

I'm not really a fan of Miley Cyrus, but I thought her dress was georgeous! She looked a little big over-dressed for a girl her age, but there was no denying the beautiful gown!

I also LOVED Natalie Portman's amazing bubble gum pink gown. She always looks so put together and natural. Kate Winslet looked radiant as ever last night! Her dress was pretty, but I thought her hair and make-up were simply beautiful! She definetely looked like the leading lady that she is!
Like everyone else and their mother, I of course couldn't take my eyes away from Brad & Angelina. I was drawn to Angelina even though I did not care for her look. I heard one of the random tv shows referring to her as looking like a Disney villian and I couldn't get that idea out of my head! haha :) (I think it was the HUGE emerald earrings!) Brad was looking amazing as the best peice of arm candy all night :)
Amy Adams is super cute, but I did not care for her dress. I know a lot of people criticized her look altogether, but I LOVED the necklace! It just didn't go with the dress...

That's my Oscar recap...in all of it's glory...haha. Sorry it is so late, I really did BEGIN it on Monday....oops:)

Week in review

Whoo! I can't believe I have gone so long without a post! I kept meaning to post last week, but I was quite busy. I would apologize, but I'm not sure anyone was actually heartbroken not reading a post from me... :)

I WAS going to attempt to make this post my 25 Things About Me, but it is taken WAY longer than I had anticipated! (It's actually quite hard to sit down and think of 25 worthy things about myself to share!) Maybe by tomorrow I can have a list done...maybe not..the GRAMMY'S are on! Along with Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters...goodness, I just realized how pathetic my tv watching habit is! Well...off I go to feed my television addiction!

My Favorite "R" Things

Here they are...in no particular order...My top ten favorite things that start with "R". Joey gave me mine, and if you would like to play, leave me a comment and I will give you a letter! Hope you enjoy!

1. Riesling wine--just so smooth and tasty!

2. R&R--Rest and Relaxation...nothing I enjoy more than hanging out at home in comfy sweats!

3. Roadhouse, Texas--Who can honestly resist those rolls?! Yumm :)

4. Reading--Right now I am completely obsessed with the Twilight series! I started reading the books over the summer, and with all the craziness of working...I am still reading Eclipse! Don't spoil the ending for me!!5. Reality TV--You name it, I love it! American Idol, The Bachelor, America's Next Top Model, The Hills, Survivor, True Beauty, and the list goes on...

6. Raspberry--I love the flavor in almost anything! I love it even more than strawberry or cherry!

7. Red--The color of my first car, the decor in our living room/kitchen, and just wearing red clothes!

8. Rascal Flatts--Love them and their songs! One of the best concerts I have ever been to!

9. Red-nosed pitbulls--Only because my beloved Colby is one! (and because they get a bad-rep as ALL being bad!)

10. Redecorating--Or just decorating! Either way, I love to think about redesigning our house and driving M nuts with all of my ideas!

Relaxing Weekend

This weekend was quite relaxing and nice for a change! M surprised me and came home EARLY on Friday from his trip to Dallas! I was excited and we spent the night catching up and of course playing the Wii. He THOUGHT he was going to come back to a pro-Wii bowler/tennis player/MarioKart of a wife....but that sure didn't happen! I didn't even turn the thing on the WHOLE week!

I won't bore you with the details of our relaxing (i.e. nothing-happening) weekend. It was just nice to have nothing to do for a change. I enjoy being as lazy as possible on Sunday afternoons, trying my best to not get out of my PJ's. :o) I kept telling myself that I would post, but I just couldn't pull myself away from the couch for long enough. I also was quite happy to see that Juno has made it onto our HBO On Demand, so of course I had to watch that! (so funny!)

Our area is supposed to get some snow tonight, and I can't help but hope for at least a 2-hr delay!! I know it's kind of pathetic, but honestly I would LOVE to sleep in sometime this week...I think I got a little TOO used to a couple of weeks ago! Ok, I better get some things done before my Monday night line-up comes on! I can't wait to see who Jason sends home this week on The Bachelor....as long as it isn't:

Melissa...

or Molly...

and if Jason really wanted to make me happy...he would eliminate Shannon! (seriously, telling him every detail of his OWN life is only going to FREAK him out! C'mon girl...please tell me you are just kidding!?!)

Whooo hooo 4 day weekend!

After a fairly successful day with a little shopping, cleaning, and relaxing I got another wonderful phone call tonight.....yep, you guessed it! ANOTHER snow day for tomorrow! WHHHOOOO HOOO to a four and a half day weekend! I'm currently celebrating (M's birthday AND my day off) with a glass of wine, while M stresses about the Purdue basketball game. Hopefully they win, so I can coax him into letting me watch Grey's on HIS birthday! hmm..... :)

I think I have TOO much time on my hands....2 posts in only 1 day?!? Did I mention I LOVE my job :)
