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).

Funny Comments #6!

Ok, so one more time.. I'm going to beg someone to make a button for this. Eventually I will stop asking, but I felt like trying one more time at least! Also, I think I'm going to re-name this either "Say What!?" or "They said what?!"... feedback would be appreciated! (I'm also open to better suggestions). Moving right along, here are this weeks highlights of funniness (ok now I'm making up words) "I wish I were a 7" "Um you're a 10!" "Shut up!!" "um... that's a good thing..." "Oh... I thought you were telling my clothing size!" "My sister is super skinny and 1 day I was telling her '2 of you would cover like half of me' and she goes 'yeah, but you have nice teeth!'" "When I was in high school I wanted turrets so bad!" "My perfume smells like vodka..." "ooo!! You should mix it with like a citrusy scent and then it will be like a screwdriver with a flower!" "I'm giving up random hook ups for lent." "Good for you!" "I know I'm gonna do it! Oh no wait I'm not gonna do it that's the thing!" "I went to the gyno and my mom asked her if I could get an infection from wearing thongs too much!" "My mom goes to the movies and gets popcorn and takes it home with her... like she doesn't even watch the movie. She just buys popcorn and leaves! Do you know how crazy that looks!?" (Conversation between 2 girls) "Have you ever had a hickey!?" "No." "Omg. I want to give you a hickey! I'm gonna go in your room when you're sleeping & tackle you & give you the biggest hickey ever!" "I feel like whenever I go over there I always meet guys who I think are really cute, but then they turn out to be not so cute at all when I see them in pictures the next day... I think it's because they always turn the lights off over there!" "I was so drunk somehow I ended up losing my pants & walking down the stairs in my underwear at the frat house." "I'm really good at flirting and getting guys to buy me drinks but for some reason I'm not good at making them want to come home with me..."

KMBFAG Week 3

I know this post is late... I think I was avoiding it because I didn't want to admit failure! Last week was my sorority's philanthropy week (basically a week full of really fun activities with the other fraternities & sorority's hosted by us to raise money for our national philanthropy). So, not only was I really busy, but we were also kind of spoiled by the other Greek houses. Especially on "suck up day/ chapter appreciation day"... people brought over breakfast pizza, tons of delicious chocolate chip cookies, cake, brownies, a ton of candy, and the gifts just kept on coming! On top of that probably slightly more alcohol was consumed during the week more than usual weeks, due to all the fun activities! I really had the best intentions... I wanted to make it to the gym, but I just kept getting so busy! We had events every night, and it was just hard to fit in time! I hate making excuses, I really do, but I have to for the previous week, because it's the truth! Could I have worked out, even if just for a little bit, if I really wanted to that bad? Yes, probably. But I was having fun, and it just fell down the priority list, honestly. I didn't completely fail: I did work out a couple times, but not every day, and I'm sure I gained a lot of weight from all the sweets that were consumed. Once you fall off the wagon, it's really hard to get back on... I haven't been back to the gym yet. I feel like crap... I eat so much better when I work out, I feel better about myself, I know I'm working towards my goals, and that makes me feel good. I am done making excuses. Last week was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I enjoyed the week. It consisted of a lot of great memories. Now, I just need to get back on that wagon and not only stay on, but make it go faster! I've got to work extra hard to make up for lost time, and I do plan to do so. We have initiation this week, meaning no boys, no booze, no bars rule is in effect until Saturday. Meaning, I won't be going out Thursday or Friday so I will not be hung over under the weather extra tired Friday or Saturday. I think I will take Sunday off as our sorority is hosting a party Saturday night. I don't know how much weight I've gained... I'm assuming it's a lot, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised when I weigh in tomorrow. Goals for this week:

• Get back on the wagon a.k.a. get my Big Fat Ass back to the gym!
• Watch what I eat... when I don't work out my eating kind of goes down the drain, too, so I've got to get back to eating healthier!
• Drink more water.
• Start keeping track of what I eat... I think if I hold myself accountable, it will be easier not to eat that extra candy or whatever.

I may or may not update with my weight for this week once I weigh in, depending on how bad it is I might just wait until next week. Hope you did better than me this week!

Not Me Monday! (6th Edition)

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Ok, so I definitely did not skip Not Me Monday like a million Monday's in a row, because I started doing my funny comments on Sunday/Monday, and then KMBFAG on Monday's, and get too overwhelmed to post that many things in 1/2 days! This week, I definitely did not completely ruin my diet... I did not indulge in cookies, brownies, cake, candy, etc. that were given to my sorority on "suck up day" for our philanthropy week. I am NOT scared at all to read what the scale says today... I also did not work out only once or twice in the past week... I certainly would work out more than that to make up for all the sweets, right? Not me! I did not watch the Oscars only to join in the twitter party even though I hadn't seen any of the movies nominated. I also did not ask stupid questions like "What movie did he win for?". Not me, I'm always caught up on that stuff! I did not wake up really sick Saturday morning due to the events of the previous night. I did not throw up all over my sandwhich I was attempting to eat! I also did not get sick while we had guys from one of the fraternities over for brunch. (Luckily in the other room). I did not recover after a few hours, and decide I was ready to go out that night! Not me... I did not call my mom because my debit card was being declined at Subway when I tried to buy lunch. She did not put money in my account, and tell me to make it last until the end of the month. I did not blow it all in one day... thank you Wal-Mart! Not me, I'm much better with money than that! I did not contact one of my favorite college blog sites about potentially writing for them. I did not freak out when they wanted a writing sample, something other than this blog, and decide maybe I couldn't do it after all! Not me, I have more faith in myself than that! I did not stay up really late reading blogs and catching up on stuff last night... I know better than to stay up late!

Funny Comments #5!

Yay this is probably my favorite post all week! I am still in search of a button for this, if anyone feels like lending their creative talents, and also I feel this deserves a better name... something a little more creative than funny comments... something button-worthy! Just a couple thoughts I had were That's What They Said (like that's what she said, but what they said get it!? haha) or Say What!? But I am totally open to suggestions! Thanks for the help! Now, moving on to this weeks funny quotes: "We learned about anthrax in biology today, and let me just tell you, if you get anthrax and you open it, it can go in the ventilation systems of buildings and everything!" "What's your point..?" "Stay away from buildings!" "I made out with 3 guys in one night!" "Yeah, but that's not really slutty, making out is like a handshake these days!" (random siren goes off outside) "ahh we're gonna die!" "I love how you say that without even moving... we might die, but at least we'll die checking our facebooks!" "You know why I ask what year people are? It's so I know how much longer I have to deal with them..." "I got an event invitation... in loving memory of (name).... did she die!?" "These allergy shots are so much work than alcohol... I feel stoned!" "I think my mouth has brain freeze. I can't even talk!" "I'm losing my voice.. great! Maybe boys will find it sexy! (in a hoarse voice) hey! U wanna come home with me!?" "My dad told me 'if I wasn't your dad I would date you'... is that weird!?" "I feel like you should calm down... this is beer pong, not the Olympics!" "Yes it is... it's like the Olympics... it's the beerlympics!" As always feel free to add your own funny quotes from the week in the comments! Hope you enjoyed! :)

Beware of Creepy Bar Guys...

So this weekend was mine and my friends first experience at one of the bars in town, and let's just say it was a real good time! Anyway, as you may know, there is a certain crowd that hangs out at bars... college students (especially in a college town), townies (people who live in town that aren't college students, etc.), and then you usually get some creepers... If you don't know what a creeper is it's basically the same thing as a creep, it's just someone whose a little strange or creepy for whatever reason. Well, my friends and I (seeing as we're not 21) were getting some guys to buy us drinks and stuff. Well my friend had a few too many drinks, and started getting really friendly with some of the guys, 1 who happened to be a little extra creepy! This guy was really nice all night, buying us shots, buying us drinks, etc, and he seemed friendly enough, so we didn't really think anything of it. Then, my friend went to go talk to him later and asked him to get her another drink, to which he replied she should give him a hickey... creepy right!? Well, all in the name of getting another drink, my really drunk slightly intoxicated friend obliged.. and ended up making out with him, and dancing with him. Later, after we left the bar and went to our favorite frat house, my friend started getting phone calls and text messages from this guy. This is where he enters creeper status; he would not leave her alone! He left her five voice mails making sure she got home okay, promising to be "romantic", and offering to come pick her up so she could come hang out, telling her "I thought we hit it off pretty well... call me back so we can hang out," telling her "I hoped we could finish what we started which was actually kinda hot and kinda sexy...", "I like you a lot, I was hoping we could get back together," and more! Then there were the text messages... even more creepy than the voice mails! In an attempt to get him to stop calling her, she texted him 1st, and the conversation went like this: (I inserted some timestamps randomly to give you an idea of how long this went on for!) (2:41 AM) friend: Hey I made it home ok, thanks for checking (read: stop calling me!) creeper: Please come over you gave me a hickey (ew) friend: haha maybe later (not!) creeper: maybe later what? (get a clue, buddy...) friend: maybe later I'll come over (nope..) creeper: Is this (insert friends name here)? (duhh...) friend: yes creeper: who is this? (wtf did she not just tell you its her!?) friend: (insert name here) creeper: Where you at? friend: At the frat house creeper: can i come pick you up? (umm no!) friend: Y? creeper: you don't want me to pick you up? (No, she doesn't!) (3:15 AM) creeper: please let me come pick you up (stop begging...) creeper: You don't remember us kissing? (no she doesn't actually... that's what happens when you're really drunk!) friend: I do remember I'll get home safe don't worry (read: GO AWAY!) creeper: Please let me pick you up (3:55 AM) creeper: Please come over (the answer is still no) creeper: We should go out. You gave me a hickey. (yes, you mentioned that in every voicemail) creeper: I really want to go on a date with you. (tough luck) (4:24 AM) creeper: Please call me tomorrow. I really want to see you. creeper: Please come over now and we can finish what we started (nothing was started!) creeper: You know I am still crazy about you (Still, as in 6 hours after we met? Wow talk about commitment..) Then the next day, he was still upset, my friend got this text message the following afternoon: creeper: You left me at the bar with a hickey and a hard on. That was not fair. (tough luck buddy!) The creepiest part? We later identified this creeper as an alum of one of the frat houses on campus... they call him "Gramps".... He's 37! Wtf does a 37 year old want with a college freshman!? EW!

Kissing My Big Fat Blog Ass Goodbye: Week 2!

So this was week two or technically week one since I didn't start until this past week! I think I did a pretty good job this week, and my friend told me she can see in my face it looks like I lost weight! I worked out every day this week except Saturday and Sunday because, as my one of my friends put it "those are days to recover from the night before!" I made it a goal to eat healthy, and I think I did pretty well. I made it a point to incorporate more fresh fruit into my diet, and was very conscious of what I was eating. I for the most part avoided sweets, except for one night which I call my "off night." Wednesday night we had a "Boo Boys Boo party"... basically we just had a lot of junk food that had cute names that basically said eff boys in not so many words! I ate a lot more junk food than I should have, but that was my one slip up for the week. Unless you count all the alcohol I had this weekend- my resolution to only drink light beer was a good one, but I failed to consider all the other types of drinks I tend to consume... yummy, fruity one's that probably have 1,000 calories each. So, I'll have to watch my intake of those & I suppose stick to gold 'ole light beer... yum (not). My workouts were all really good this week... I joined the Y like I said I would, and I'm really happy with my decision to do that. Our fitness center at school is really small, and always crammed with athletes, and there's something about working out next to athletes that makes you want to run as far away from the gym as possible and count that as your work out! So the Y is a much better fit for me! I started out just doing the treadmill for Cardio, but by the end of the week I decided to switch it up & try different machines... which seriously kicked my ass! Why is everything else so much harder than the treadmill!? Weird! I tried to get in some weights, too, but I didn't do it everyday. Alright... moment of truth. Did I lose any weight!? Here's the thing... I don't have a scale, so I only weigh myself at the gym, usually after my workouts in case the number is lower after burning some calories! Well, the Y has 2 scales (1 I call the "dr.'s office scale" where you have to balance it & everything, then a digital one). We all know digital ones can sometimes be off (or am i making that up?!), so I decided to weigh myself on both... everytime. So at the beginning of the week, according to the "Dr.'s office scale" I weighed 174 (I think), but according to the digital scale I weighed 170. Today I weighed 169 on both scales... so I'm going to go out on a limb (maybe) and go with the "Dr.'s office scale" for both weights. Which means... I lost 5 lbs this week!! If this is in fact true (assuming I remember correctly what the scale said at the beginning of the week, and assuming I did my math correctly on the scale today), I met my goal for the week, plus 2 lbs! I'm really proud of myself for sticking with my workouts, and eating healthy! It's so hard to say "no" to fast food, and all the sweets that pop up occasionally, but I did it (for the most part) and I dragged my butt to the gym & worked out hard, and you know what!? It felt really good! :) Here's what the digital scale read today:So, I'm hoping I didn't make up the fact that I lost weight, and that the "Dr.'s office scale" really did say 174 at the beginning of the week... I know it said more than the digital one, so I'm trusting it! I think I'll stick to one scale this week... Goals for this week:

• Work out harder, and longer
• more weights- I didn't always do this, and I want to lose weight, but get toned, too, so I need to do some weight lifting as well as cardio.
• Stay away from the junk food... it's so hard! Stupid valentine's day- now it's everywhere!
• More water!
• Watch the fruity drink intake this weekend (probably good for more reasons than 1 if you know what I mean!)

If you want to join us in our quests to kiss our big fat blog asses goodbye, head to Tenakim's place & link up with us! p.s. Sorry it took me forever to get this post up... I was waiting to weigh myself at the gym, then I got distracted & never wrote my post until now!
