I am a newlywed as of March 21, 2009. I married my best friend, Adam, and have never been happier.My husband and I both work at jobs we love. Lucky, huh!? I am also a full time blogger, although it isn't a "job." However, it would be great to quit my office job and be paid to blog....or SHOP! Dream jobs at their finest.
I was watching the Today Show this morning and this girl brought her cute dog on.
I love dogs! {Except all of my neighbors dogs that constantly bark ALL day and night long.} Dogs make me smile. They do funny things, they act funny ways, and they always love you no matter what. It is so fun to wonder what they are thinking or if they could talk what they would say.
Maybe that is why I liked Up! so much. SQUIRREL!
My dog at home…AKA my parents home…is the greatest! He does great tricks including crawling like his is in the Army and singing the barking part of Who Let the Dogs Out. He has such a fun personality….even if he is getting old, going bald, can’t smell, and can barely hear!
There is one great trick that the Today Show dog, Riley, can do that Buster (my little buddy boy) can’t. Maybe I can teach him this trick next time I see him.
Isn’t this picture the greatest! It isn’t photo shopped or anything. This is the real face Riley pulled on his birthday. He must love sweets like me!
Now, go give your dog(s) a belly rub for me! {You are lucky to have a dog…thanks to my wonderful hubby’s allergies I probably will never have one. }
This morning while in the shower I was so excited to use my new shampoo. I bought the kind that is made for blondes to bring out the highlights. After shampooing I picked up the conditioner. When I put it in my hand I noticed that it looked different. That is because I bought TWO shampoos. They were different…one for light blonde hair and one for darker shades…but nonetheless I am still stuck for days without conditioner. As we all know the hotel’s “conditioning shampoo” is neither conditioning nor detangling. What a blonde moment…by two blonde shampoos!
But when we saw this while standing in line for the Tiki Room I suddenly didn’t feel like such a dough head.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. This is an old lady with a piece of toilet paper hanging out of the back of her pants. I know it may seem rude and disrespectful to the elderly to pull out my cell phone and snap a picture and I am sorry, but it sure was funny! While we saw her she never realized she had a TP issue. Poor lady…bet before her hair was white it was blonde.
Oh my gosh! I can barely handle myself. It is time for the dish from the women of The Bachelor to start. This is going to be juicy. What is Rozlyn going to have to say for herself!?
Let’s go:
*OOO! Starting off with Rozlyn!
*“It knocked me off my high horse.” ha ha Jake just admitted he thinks the world of himself
*Jake said waiting to kiss until marriage isn’t really his thing. Really Jake? The world would never know that you enjoy kissing, since you do that every two seconds.
*“You could make out with my forehead all night” Elizabeth you are really dumb!
*Wait a sec…Chris and Jake are talking about how his first kiss with Vienna was dangling upside down 70 feet off the ground. And then Jake says, “I was just glad it was all over.” What the kiss or the jumping!?
*UGH! There’s Ali’s nasty ponytail again.
*500 men and women have come on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette…and what 4 couples are together still….that is good odds eh!?
*Desiree….there was a reason why you weren’t picked and are still single. Need I say more?
*Erica, what the heck is that thing on your head? A tiara made of ribbon? Nice look, Judge.
*Wes, you aren’t even cute, so what are you nibbling?!
*That dude just flashed “the shocker” Isn’t that something that was cool in high school? Are single men still flashing that stupid thing? All it shows is the girl isn’t giving it up to anything but your hand. That makes you look cool? Huh!? I must be out of the loop.
*Vienna: “She’s just one girl (talking about Rozlyn) who uses her sex appeal to get what she wants” Is it just me or does Vienna do this too?
*Michelle is a little too baby happy for the first date.
*Tenley…nice booty shake…keep dreaming in cartoons
*Ashleigh H. tell us how you really feel about Vienna the trailer park whore.
*Nice line Chris, “You are never as cool as you think you are”
*OOOO! Rozlyn time! Jessie: “I actually didn’t say anything until right now” Huh!? Ella,that was really descriptive. I no longer wonder what was going on. Thanks for putting it ALL out there.
*Gia Joker,that dress looks like the purple grass in the bottom of an Easter basket. A little too Jem and the Holograms….but secretively I really like it.
*There’s Gia’s hand by here mouth every time she talks again. Stop that!
*“There were so many times I said to myself, Joker, you should just tell him you love him” I think that is how it went.
*OOO! When Gia and Chris were talking about proposing to a man on the first date and how that doesn’t scar a man at all (NOT!) did you see that look Michelle gave them! OOOOO I love it!
*Michelle, Chris kissed you. Maybe you could have his baby! Your mom deserves grandchildren! Hurry!
*Michelle was planning her wedding before she even MET Jake.
*Three classic lines of the season, “You have got to give me something more than that. Are you kidding!?” “I don’t think she needs a husband but she needs a therapist first.” After asking Jake to leave Michelle said, “He kicked me to the curb.” This girl is psycho. THAT is why you aren’t married Michelle…because you are PSYCHO!
*”I don’t need a therapist Elizabeth. I am s-s-s-stable.” “Maybe you are a little bit emotional unstable?”
*Ali…no baby whines tonight please.
*NO! The ponytail again! Enough of the shot of her nasty ponytail!
*I am watching this on HDTV. Is that a very large zit on Ali’s chin or a wart? Maybe she could be the next Proactive model.
*Ok, this little chat from Ali tonight, has made me like her more. I mean I thought she was okay before but not my favorite. That little speech and apology to Vienna was really kind.
*Rozlyn time. It is going to get juicy. (Keep the pee in Rozlyn don’t ruin the night for me.) HA HA She just waved to all of the girls and no one waved or smiled back.
*Yeah, what IS true Rozlyn!? OUT WITH IT! A friendship?! A friendship isn’t the same as friends with privileges. DID ANYTHING PSYHICAL HAPPEN IN THE HOUSE!? Let me slow it down for you…DID…..ANYTHING….HAPPEN?
*Rozlyn: “What did happen? Please tell me all about it. We have never been clear about it.” ROZLYN! This is what we are waiting for you to tell us!
*Jessie: “I swear on my dogs life.” Rozlyn: “I swear on my child’s life that never happened.”
*No, riddle ME this Rozlyn!
*All three stories and everything people saw with their eyes are wrong. But Chris, you hitting on my lover’s wife….blah blah blah Rozlyn, no one is going to believe anything that comes out of your mouth ! They should have just brought out the ex-producer
*Jake is looking a little pasty now that he is back from St. Lucia.
*There are some more tough moments that haven’t aired yet….OOOO! I can hardly wait until next week!!
*Jake: “You are one of the most amazing women I have ever met. And you will always have a friend.” Wait Jake. Is that “friend” in Rozlyn’s words or normal people words?
*Kathryn—your eyes bug me. They are always so piecing. Almost that,”I am right and you are wrong” piercing.
*Drama, Tears= Michelle
*I loved the BLOOPERS! I could have watched those ten more times. That was great!
*JAKE IS HAPPY WITH HIS DECISION! WHAT IS IT! AHHHHH! I don’t want to wait anymore!!
*While watching the Vienna clips my husband said, “She has a great body I just don’t like her face.” ha ha
*After watching Tenley’s clip Adam said, “I say choose Tenley….like the number ten.”
That was a great show. I would have loved to have seen them grill Rozlyn more and laugh at more bloopers.
Here is a blog I read today with more funnies about The Bachelor week 7. Some of the things I said were about the same things she writes about. Enjoy her thoughts!
Yesterday I was catching up on The Bachelor week 6. I missed it because I was at the gym. I need to start getting to work on time so I can get off on time so I don’t fall behind on my tv shows. Does that seem a little skewed?
I pulled up the full episode on the internet and asked Mr, Robertson if he would like to watch it with me. He told me he had already watched it. What!? Wait! Wasn’t he the one the week before that asked me why I liked “that fake trash”? Now he is the addicted one? (Little do you know, he also like watching “Keeping Up With the Kardasians." One Sunday I caught him watching the marathon.) I love that my secret love for reality TV is wearing off on him.
Ok…Week 6…Home town visits.
Gia—Awww! I just can’t get over how much she looks like the Joker. Don’t believe me…see for yourself.
Any way, her family is coo coo! Here mom wanted to read Jake’s cards. She acted like she was some hot to trot card reader and then Jake, “Did what I tell you relate to your question you asked?” Jake just looked at her and said, “No.” ha ha Gia, your mom is nuts!
Then, Gia’s brother said that Jake better treat her right or he will have to break some legs. Oh, THAT will make a man fall head of heels for your sister. Gia, your brother is nuts too!
Ali—First of all cute white coat. Tip though, if you are wearing a long shirt don’t wear a short jacket. It isn’t so cute.
You can tell Jake likes Ali…you can see it in their kisses. He kisses he like it is real. He doesn’t attack her like he does with Tenley’s kisses on the nose. He also doesn’t make those lame “MU-WAH” noises when he kisses her.
Ali you are an idiot for choosing your job over staying with Jake. Especially after he told you you weren’t on the line for the rose ceremony.
Finally, do SOMETHING with your hair. A nasty messy pony tail is not sexy and not appropriate for a rose ceremony.
You are a cute girl, if nothing else brush it and leave it down. If you absolutely HAVE to wear it in a ponytail, don’t run your fingers through the top. YIKES!
Tenley- I like you! You are always so beautiful and put together. Maybe you could share your beauty tips with Ali.
I really liked Tenley’s dance but she was kind of all up in Jake’s face. I too appreciate dance and think that was really brave of her to show him her skills. Great calves PS.
Jakes was told by Tenley’s mother that she was going to have some emotional spill overs for a while. Jake, do you really want to deal with a girl who is still a little unstable? I mean, she brought he ex up how many times throughout the day?! I love Tenley, don’t get me wrong, but I think she is jumping back into a relationship a little too quickly for her emotional stability.
At the rose ceremony, Tenley’s dress was amazing. I wish I had legs like hers so I could put on a dress like that.
Vienna- I am starting to like her a little but more. This home visit helped me see that the way she is around Jake is how she is around her family too. Also hearing her mother say that the way the girls have been acting toward her is how it has been all her life. She could just be one of those girls that other girls get jealous/ bugged at. Girls, you know what I mean. You have looked at girls too that you think, “How does a girl like her get a guy like him,” because secretively you would like to be that guys girl. I know I have done that in the past.
The one thing that bugs me about her is her hair. Look! It looks like a bad wig. Her extensions don’t blend naturally with her hair. On a brighter note, she has great teeth.
Now that I have seen week 6 I no longer have to put my fingers in my ears and sing “la la la la” through out an entire “coming up next week on The Bachelor commercial.” So I watched one….OOOO! Ali calls. I swear if she says she wants to come back and Jake allows that I could scream. Boys, if a girl chooses a job over you after you just told her you don’t want her to go and if she did it would break your heart, she doesn’t really love you. Even if she comes back. Jake please bless that you are smart.
Jake, Gia, Vienna, and Tenley, I will see you all tonight!
I have recently discovered my little love for The Bachelor. It isn’t an obsession like Desperate Housewives but I do like it. Mr. R calls it “fake trash” but secretively it makes me feel better about myself. ha ha If nothing else you can always get a good laugh out of it.
I just read a blog on (NO) Sex and the City with some of the best highlights from week 5. Here are the ones I love:
—my favorite over-used bach phrases:
"i have a lot of love to give." "she’s here for all the right reasons." "i’m starting to fall for _______(insert EVERY contestant)." "this rose ceremony is the toughest one yet!" "i’m not here to make friends, i’m here to fall in love."
—-favorite quotes from last night:
"you suck at life" (allie) "i expect my wife to always have my back." ( gangsta jake) "a marriage can never be perfect but love can be." (pensive jake) "you can eat my salmon." (gia) "i assure you, i had dirty thoughts." (rinky jake) "it’s not about ‘sex-appeal’. it’s about ‘heart-appeal’" (philosopher jake) "i’m my dad’s princes and now i’m jake’s queen and he’s my prince charming!" (princess vienna)
—crazy stalker vienna wandering the castle with the lantern screaming his name was one of my favorite moments. dear v, you wouldnt be lost if you had STAYED WHERE THEY PUT YOU!
—i did the math and if he’s willing to go 80% and she’s willing to go 10%…….. that makes 90%. guess that explains the axe at the rose ceremony.
Oh! Those highlights make me laugh!
I vote Jake goes with Tenley. She is the only normal half way normal girl left. Make Allie, Vienna, and Tenley top three so we can still have an entertaining show though.
I dislike Allie because she is way too sassy and rude. She is a cute looking girl though. I dislike Vienna because she is way too obsessed about Jake and she needs makeup tips BAD! She is fun, spunky, and daring though. Vienna is the better of the two bads.’
Gia needs to go this next week though. She looks like plastic surgery gone bad and is way too self conscious. Gia, you are a swimsuit model…how are you self conscious!?
The past few days my ear has been bothering me. It happened mostly when I chewed. I could feel a popping…like someone would in their jaw…but I felt it in my ear.
Today I was at work and could fell the pain again. This time I went to rub my ear. When I did I could feel something sitting just inside my ear canal. I stuck my finger in just barely and look what literally fell out of my ear. (Don’t look if you have a weak stomach)
What the HECK is that? I know it looks like a raisin…but it is actually a big ball of dried ear wax! SICK! The really gross part is, I clean my ears every morning after getting out of the shower. How does a meteor like this fall out of my head!? WAIT!! Is this what old people mean when they say they are losing their minds? Is this a small piece of my brain falling out of my ear? Whatever it is, it is really gross! So gross I to time to stop and think….I have got to take a picture of this and blog about how gross it is
Halloween is always such a fun time of year. Cute little kids get all dressed up…adorable, silly, lame, bloody.
Then they go from house to house collecting goodies. They are supposed to say “Trick Or Trick” and act pleased that nice people like myself are giving these total strangers candy. Interestingly enough there are some pretty rude kids out there. We had some that just stuck their hand out (hand not bag) without saying a word. We had some that stretched the age of trick or treating by a few too many years. NOTE: If you are over the driving age you are a little too old to go trick or treating. We even had a mom come to the door with a zip lock bag and say “Trick or Treat….it is for the baby.” HEY! I didn’t know little peas in a pod ate Snickers! Since when? COME ON PEOPLE! How tacky and rude can you be!?
On the positive side we did have 2 kids…that is right, TWO…that said “Thank you! Happy Halloween!” Thank you to the parents of these two kids. You have raised them well!
Stepping of my soap box…
Here are some great pictures from the Adults Only Halloween party at the Roberts house in Bluebell. Thanks for the invite! We had a GREAT time!
Adam and I as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell–I won the cutest costume award! Then we won the Newlywed Game…wonder why!?
Josh and Erin as Austin Powers and a Go-Go girl
Coray and Lisa as a Tissue Box (the sign says “Blow Me”) and Rainbow Brite—Coray won the lamest costume….rightfully awarded
The entire group. (Explanation of me: I was sitting on Adam’s knee. You can’t tell because of my skirt…however that pose is not flattering to the calves…EEK!)
Here is an interesting article I read from the Associated Press.
“A school bus driver and amateur artist from the Chicago suburb of Zion has legally changed his name to “In God We Trust.” A Lake County circuit court judge approved Steve Kreuscher’s (CROY’-shirz) name change petition on Friday. The 57-year-old’s first name was changed to “In God,” while his last name was changed to “We Trust. He says the new name symbolizes the help God gave him during tough times and says he can’t wait to begin signing his artwork with the new moniker.”
Can you imagine him signing his name to checks, credit card receipts, or the bottom of a professional document? Way to be bold and stand for something, In God, and way to spend a good message at the same time.
Isn’t this picture the greatest! It isn’t photo shopped or anything. This is the real face Riley pulled on his birthday. He must love sweets like me!

ribbon? Nice look, Judge.
words or normal people words?
