Randomness is the Way to Go

randomtuesday

It has been awhile since I participated in The Un Mom's Random Tuesday Thoughts, but since it's been awhile since my last post and I have all kinds of things to say, I figured randomness is the way to go and I can get it all out in one post! (I think that was probably a run on sentence but this isn't English class it's my blog and I can have run on sentences if I want to!)

So I guest posted at Winey Mommy's place today. It took me like all day to write because I was super nervous. And I had no clue what to write about. Luckily I tweeted about my writer's block and Krystyn came to my rescue and suggested I blog about a funny story from college or something. So I searched my blog archives for some funny story I have never blogged about and found one. I also found a LOT of posts  that have been half written or nearly finished that were never published that would've been actually good had I finished them. I need to get out of my own head and stop convincing myself that my writing sucks because all that leads to is an empty blog and a really full drafts folder. Anyway, the point of the story is please go check out my guest post because I am afraid that it will be a big flat flop and I will never volunteer to guest post again and I will make Chelle regret handing her blog over to me! (So much for getting out of my own head, right?)

Moving on. I have an addiction. It's called Reality Television. Specifically Real Housewives of New York, The Bachelorette, and my new favorite Househusbands of Hollywood. Dude, this is awesomeness. It's like total role reversal because the husbands stay home and take care of the kids or just the house if they don't have kids and the mom's go out and bring home the "bacon". And in some cases they are making a heck of a lot of bacon because one chick goes and blows like $8,000 in one day at Neiman's and Barney's. Seriously. $8000. Then her husband is all like "um, that's crazy. You need to chill the eff out." And she's all "you need to chill out, dude." Which, first of all, who calls their husband dude and second of all she seriously does not understand why he's mad that she spent that much money. Really? Anyway, it's on the FOX Reality Channel and it is complete awesomeness. Trust me.

Now can we do five minutes on the Real Housewives? Last night was the 2nd reunion show. There is so much drama on that show it takes 3 reunion shows just to cover it all. It's like on huge cat fight and it makes my blood pressure boil because everyone is yelling at each other and it's crazy and it makes me think of high school. My sister, who is brilliant and totally right, said "I would be embarrassed to be yelling at people like that at that age." My sister who is actually in high school is smarter than these women who just act like they're in high school. And dude, what is wrong with Betheney that 12 days after giving birth she looks like she was never pregnant? I look more pregnant than her and I am definitely not pregnant. That is just wrong.

Now for The Bachelorette. I can not get enough of this show and the ridiculous guys on it. Seriously, last night's episode was full of blood, sweat and tears literally. It was awesomely bad. I don't even know where to start with these dudes. I have so much to say I think I'm gonna have to write a whole post about it. I've been reluctant to write a Bachelorette post before because I've read so many witty, funny, sarcastic and awesome one's and I think I can't possibly compare. But who cares right? I can do what I want. And even if my post isn't as good as this person's, it's my own style and I can be confident in that!

On a more serious note, I really want you all to go to the site that was started for my sister. I haven't blogged about it before because, well, my blog got depressing for awhile after she was diagnosed and as much as that was therapeutic, being happy and witty is also therapeutic. Anyway, the site is 1 Million 4 Anna and the goal is to get 1 million prayers said for my sister and her health! They just posted a beautiful essay written by one of her best friends about what Anna has been through and it is a beautiful tribute to Anna's strength and her amazing friendships that have helped her get through this time in her life. On a brighter but related note, she only has 1 more chemo to go!!! This is been one hell of a road and it is something none of us ever thought we would have to go through but the end is in sight. Thank you all for praying and please continue to pray because we need a year of clean scans before she is officially cancer free!

When I was typing this, I was thinking I should write posts like this more often because I literally couldn't stop typing. Usually it takes me awhile to write blog posts, but when it's just going straight from the brain to the blog and I don't have to make sense, it just flows naturally.

So I think that's it. I probably could keep going but this post is already pretty long and if you're still reading this forever, then you're not reading my guest post!

If you want to write your own random post (trust me it's fun!) go ahead and link up with Keely at the Un Mom!

I Hate to Give Into the Hype but....

Ok, so I really hate giving into the hype for things like this. I was reluctant to even discuss The Bachelor because I know it's all ABC's master plan to do things the way they did to get more hype. I realize by blogging about it, I am contributing to the hype but whatever. Freaking CNN is talking about The Bachelor and my blog has a whole 64 followers, which is great, but it's not like it's gonna make headlines or anything. Plus I promised my friend Elaine that I would re-cap it for y'all that are boycotting it like Daily Jen. **WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW! DON'T CONTINUE IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED YET!*** So, in case you've been living under a rock for the past day, here's my recap of The Bachelor finale! Basically it was down to Melissa & Molly. He picks Melissa, proposes, then 6 weeks later he dumps her in front of all of America. (In his defense I did learn that he is under a $5 million contract that requires him to do this.) Then, he brings back Molly and asks her for another chance, telling her he made a mistake, blah blah blah. That was last night... Then tonight there was more! Tonight was The Bachelor: After the Final Rose pt. 2, or as Jen put it After After the Final Rose! haha Tonight was filmed 6 weeks after the show last night, so in total, 12 weeks after the Season Finale when he proposed. Tonight, they brought back Jason & Molly & they said how happy they were... blah blah blah. The audience got to give their opinions about what went down on last nights show, and I was surprised at how mixed the reactions were... I expected the audience to be full of Team Molly members! They made really good points... one guy (yes a guy was at The Bachelor show!) pointed out that if he were as emotional after saying goodbye to someone as Jason was after saying goodbye to Molly, he wouldn't have gone from that to proposing to someone else. I couldn't agree more! I've seen other seasons where they say I like you, but I'm not ready to propose. What is so wrong with that?!! I guess it's not good enough for ABC... They also brought back some of the rejected Bachelorette's before the final 3, who they said were some fan favorites. Um... I have to ask whose favorites these women were?! It was Naomi, Kari (who I don't even remember), Erica (drama queen), a few others who I don't remember, and Stephanie (who is okay, but not my favorite personally). They gave their opinions on what Jason did, and surprise! They pretty much defended him... I don't know about you, but that surprises me! Then, Jason came back and told everyone he really cares about Molly, and if he didn't, he wouldn't go through all the hype he did to get to this point. They said they've spent a few weekends together in the past 6 weeks, and things are going "really well." They both look really happy... so I'm happy for them. I was always torn between Molly & Melissa! They are both so charming in different ways. I still disagree with the way the whole dumping thing played out, but I wouldn't back out on a $5 million contract either... not gonna lie! Then, finally, they announced the next Bachelorette! Jillian will be the next Bachelorette.. airing May 18th (I'm pretty sure that's the right date). I'm really excited about this; I always liked her from the beginning! Her & her hot dog theory cracked me up on the 1st show! So, overall tonight made me hate Jason less, and I decided Molly & Jason are cute... but I still feel horrible for Melissa that every television station is replaying the proposal and the break up over & over again... plus the new People magazine is featuring Jason & Molly on the cover declaring their love some more! Here are some highlights you have to see/read if you haven't already: Jason on Jimmy Kimmell Jesse Csincsak's thoughts on the finale (The guy DeAnna chose over Jason in case you forgot who he is).

Straight from my brain to the blog!

So I have a lot of random thoughts I feel I should share on here, but are not worth making a whole post out of each one, so it's time for my favorite bulleted list of random thoughts... I should really make this like a weekly thing, I do it a lot. (Wow was that a run on sentence or what?! )

  • 1st of all... thank you so much for all your sweet compliments on my post yesterday! You guys are too kind, really! I swear I didn't post that just to fish for compliments ;)
  • Also I really need to write my post about my beer pong injuries! Beer pong is a very dangerous game let me tell you! I tried to write it the other day but I was having serious writers block... ironic I know, but I can't figure out how to explain it!
  • I also have quite a few other posts in the works, I'm pretty excited about them, I just need to write/finish them.. that's the hard part!
  • This week started my 2nd semester as a college student! So far I like all my classes and I really like my schedule because I don't have class until 1 on Friday's (and Monday's & Wednesday's) which means PARRTAAYY on Thursday! lol It's a huge party night here & last semester I had class at 9, so I had to miss out a lot :( That is when I'm not studying, of course!
  • I am completely in love with Real Housewives of Orange County! I'm so glad McMommy started a whole blog about it! As soon as I watch the show I immediately head over there to read her hilarious re-caps & theories!
  • Since it seems to be the trend to start a 2nd blog, I might just have to about all my TV addictions, because when I am watching all these shows I just feel the need to speak my mind! haha I don't know if I'll do it... I'll see if I still want to in a couple weeks!
  • I am so behind in my blog reading! My reader is currently almost at 700!! Can you believe it?!? I don't know how I got so behind! I am tempted to press that Mark all as read button... but I don't want to miss something! Maybe I can catch up this weekend...
I think that's about it! Hopefully I'll put up a real post tomorrow! Thanks for bearing with me & my randomness :)
