Tuesday means my Bachelor post!!

So last night A and I were SO excited for The Bachelor! This is when things start getting GOOD! The crazies really show their true colors!!

Michelle is a FRUIT LOOP!!! Let me point out that the STRANGEST part of her being so crazy about Brad is that she's known him for like 3 weeks!! Maybe 4? I lost track, anyways, she hardly even knows him!! She's only been out with him a few times, sometimes in a group date.
There's a bad apple in every bunch so I guess she's the bad apple for this season! Man!

I was beyond annoyed watching her crazy antics, I was downright disturbed! I can't handle crazy. I will tell you something, on a serious note here, that I have learned FIRSTHAND. My hard earned wisdom, laides. NO MAN IS EVER WORTH GETTING CRAZY OVER!! Believe me, I KNOW. I used to let someone in my past make me crazy. CRAZY I tell you. It's not that I'm really crazy, it's that he gave me PLENTY of reason to be crazy. ANYONE would have been crazy in the same situation. When someone makes you CRAZY, they are no good for you and you've GOT to get away from them. At least I had a long history w/ this person and he gave me reasons to be crazy....Michelle flew the coop long before Brad I'm afraid!!

Emily is still my choice for this season. I'm NOT reading spoilers. I'm thinking, just a guess here, that Brad will pick Chantel (or is she Shawntel? Can't remember) and Emily will be the new Bachelorette! She would be an obvious choice for Bachelorette because everyone loves her!! Sweet Southern Belles-what's not to love?! Haha!

Happy Tuesday! SO glad Monday is OVER!!

This Week's Bachelor and My Love Life!

OK so I'll keep this short. Emily is still my absolute favorite on The Bachelor. What a sweet girl! Michelle is scary crazy and some of the other ladies...well, they aren't far behind her! Madison left, I didn't really care. So, GO Emily! In fact, to my thinking, this is not a question of is she good for Brad, is Brad good enough for HER?
Now on to MY love life! Last I wrote, I reported that Dentist got me NOTHING for Christmas. Now, I'm NOT a gold digger, I was NOT expecting something big or expensive, just something small. All I wanted was for him to make the effort to give me SOMETHING, even something silly. I got him something small, but kept it hidden in my car in case he didn't give me a gift. I've given a guy that I've been seeing a small gift for Christmas before (actually it's happened on Valentine's Day too!) and gotten nothing in return. I was NOT impressed when he didn't give me anything. I took it as a bad sign, a sign that I was not very important to him. I think when a guy is first dating a girl he should be trying to impress her!! So, he's history.

The very last time I went out w/ Dentist, which was the time I did NOT get a gift, we were eating dinnner in a restaurant. I looked over at the bar area and saw one of my really good friends from home (she's a single mom and a cop and one of the most AWESOME people I've ever met). I excused myself to go to the bathroom and on the way back stopped to say hello. I didn't want to be rude so I only spoke to her very briefly. While I was saying hello she introduced me to the guy she was with. All I really said to him was "nice to meet you" ...

Later that night my girlfriend I ran into at dinner and I were texting and she asked me what the deal was w/ the Dentist. I told her that he was not my boyfriend and that in fact I probably wouldn't go out w/ him again. She asked if I was up for meeting someone nice since her friend that I met in the restaurant really wanted her to get us together!! I made her swear to me that he's a good guy (done w/ the bad boys!) and she did. He's one of her really good friends.

He and I went out for the first time a few days later, while I was still home for the holidays. We really hit it off on the date. We've been out a few more times since and I'm SO impressed!!!

This guy is very responsible, a Dad (a good one let me add), a complete gentleman, and he attends church (not w/ a mom or a girlfriend, he attends by himself so I know that's important to him)!!

PLUS, I've already gotten a gift! The last time I saw him he had a small surprise for me! It was a sweet card and a bottle of Texas Pete. Texas Pete is one of the most thoughtful things anyone can give me because I LOVE Texas Pete. Texas Pete is a crucial part of my life, and I'm being totally serious here.

So ladies, that is the story of how I met someone on a date w/ someone else! Haha! I'll keep you posted on this one :-) So far he's really one of a kind, and in the best way.

Hope everyone is having a great week! Yay for Hump Day!

The Bachelor....

Hi everyone! I am so excited about the new season of The Bachelor I'm going to keep the updates from the holidays to a minimum. I will say I'm very excited about the NEW year! But I always say that-every year LOL. New Year's Eve is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate (I'll post pics later).

The major dissapointment over the holidays was that the new guy gave me NOTHING for Christmas. Since we've been out I was expecting SOMETHING. Not something big, or expensive, espeically since we haven't gone out for very long, but still, SOMETHING. It's a major turn off to me (especially since I sent a small and funny little gag gift to him for his b-day) to not get a gift for Christmas. SO, don't think I'll be seeing him anymore.

Anyways, other than that the holidays were great and I got a real dream come true, it snowed on Christmas!! And it's always great to spend time w/ family.

SO, The Bachelor. First let me say I was VERY surprised that ABC brought Brad back. I was not excited about it at first. Big surprise, I think he's a commitment phobe, just like everyone else does! However, my skepticism has worn off and I think he's about the same as any other bachelor now. Although this sounds WAY cheesy, I can relate to his relationship difficulties due to having an absent father that went MIA for years at a time growing up. Although we have to be responsible for our own actions and happiness (I hate a victim mentality), I might be willing to cut Brad some slack on that one.

OK so enough of the psycho analyzing (can you tell one of my good friends is a PhD in Psychology? LOL) and on to the contestants!!

Let's begin w/ the heinous club kid wild platform heels. They were AWFUL! I don't think Brad was digging but he had to comment on them, I mean, how could you not?

I'm also way weirded out by Madison. The vampire girl. I guess the vampire thing is her "gimmick". It reminds of me of one time when my girlfriends and I were cruising The Strip in Myrtle Beach in high school and we met a guy in a Tigger costume in traffic. Tigger was his gimmick for getting girls, I guess, just like Madison and her vampire teeth. They were fake, right?! WEIRDO!

My FAVORITE so far is Emily. She's a sweet Southern Belle, a single mom, and just seems like a really nice girl. I also think she's one of the prettiest contestants this season. Her story of her first boyfriend being the only person she's ever fallen in love w/ and being a racecar driver TOTALLY reminded me of myself. My first boyfriend and the only guy I've ever been CRAZY in love w/ was a racecar driver. I was sad to hear that her story ended tragically and that's so sweet about how she has the little girl. Most girls I know that are single moms are very mature so that is probably going to be the case w/ Emily. She's my favorite right now.

My other favorite is the Radio City Rockette, Keltie. She's one of my favorite choreographers. I'm also dying to get her book, I think it was just released. I think she's really cool. I'm not sure if she's the best match for Brad, but I think she rocks so we'll see how the season goes and then maybe I'll have more of an opinion about her and Brad being suited for each other.

I'm not reading any spoilers and I think this season is going to be CRAZY! I can't wait to go read some of yalls blogs about it!
