Link for Bachelor Spoilers

I will be blogging about this in a few days, but wanted those of your readers who are dying to know more about Monday's show to get prepared.  Go here if you want a spoiler.  

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ENDING OF THE BACHELOR, DO NOT GO TO THAT LINK. There, don't say I didn't warn you.  I will be posting a blog later, so hold on to those comments until then.  Can't wait to hear what you think about all this speculated drama.

Good Grief!

PeePee Dance

Today Gage went potty at school, two times! This is a first as he was a little scared of the big potty before. He is doing so good. To celebrate we got a sprite and peepee candy!

The Bachelor...Women Tell All

I have to admit, this episode was a let down.  Jason was a really good bachelor, therefore, there wasn't a lot of drama and tears and screaming at the reunion.  Sure, that is good for the girls and for Jason, but for the watcher, it was boring.  Plus, how in the world am I supposed to focus on anything else besides next weeks episode.  I really don't know if I can stand waiting for next weeks show.  And, it is going to be 3 hours.  Ya'll that is a lot of tv!  Goodness, if you guys find someone who has a time machine, tell them I need to borrow it so I can watch next weeks show now!

I am really excited to be watching tonight's episode with Kristen P!  Yea!

Jason and Chris are sitting discussing the women:

Jason and Megan.  Oh, they are talking about how surprised Jason was by her kiss on the General Hospital set.  It was so funny how after the GH date all the women were so emotional.  HELLO!!!  You madeout with all of them and expect them to be happy.  McFly, girls don't work that way.  No!

Chris called Jason and Jillian's makeout scene something that cinemax would want.  

Never Before Seen Footage:

Naomi and Jason's date.  Jason's horse gets spooked and he totally pulled a Clint Eastwood and jumped off the horse.  

I loved seeing the General Hospital Date improv scene. Total drama and love that Jason kills himself at the end.  

I was surprised how hard Chris was pressing Jason for details about the overnight dates.  I was glad that Jason kept it classy and didn't share details.  Good job DJ J!

Trista and Ryan:  How sweet are they and expecting baby number 2!  Ryan seems like such a sweet, handsome and loving man!  Oh, and I love that Trista wants Melissa for Jason.

Charlie and Sarah.  I have to admit that I didn't watch this show so I really don't care about them.  Moving on...

The Bachelorettes are back...dum dee dum dum

Bringing out the crazy: Megan.  Natalie.  Lauren.

Let's start with Megan.  Were ya'll surprised at how she handled herself.  I totally thought she would pull the trashy, cussing woman card again.  I was glad that she appeared more low key and retrospective.  Good job Megan.

Natalie...oh, that poor, clueless girl.  She is the first one in the hot seat.  I am so glad they showed the "I love bears" conversation again.  It screams DITZ!  Oh, and then they make it even better by showing the limo scene.  It was embarassing.  Her talking in the hot seat just makes her sound worse.  I am sure she is a nice enough girl, but it seems like she is sreaming...take me to a counselor so I can figure myself out!!!

Jillian.  Ahhhh, I love Jillian.  Great name too!  Man, wasn't it hard to watch the recap of her and Jason's relationship?  So sad!  After listening to what she says, I just love her.  Natalie could learn a thing of two from her.  I think you should marry your best friend.  Of course there should be more, but you need that.  Yea, Chris just asked her if she would be the next Bachelorette...and she said yes!  I WOULD LOVE A SEASON WITH HER AS THE BACHELORETTE!

Now it is Jason's turn in the hotseat.  Now, I am really not going to go on anymore.  There just wasn't a lot there.  I am just so ready for next weeks shows.  Holy Moly!  I just can't wait to see what happens.  Does he pick DeAnna?  Does he pick Melissa?  What about Molly?  Why is the After The Rose Ceremony so emotionally difficult?  Why no audience?  Oh man, this is driving me crazy.  Don't spoil it for me if you "think" you know!  Oh man...

Brace Yourselves For The Bachelor

I am bracing myself for the Bachelor.  Tonight is the Girls Tell All, which I will blog about this evening.  However, next week, I think we are going to get a true shocker.  I know they always say, In The Most Dramatic Rose Ceremony Ever, well, this time I think it is true.  

Please don't post any spoilers on the comment sections.  I want it to be a surprise.  I will say that I have a neighbor who told me I will be shocked and it won't be good.  Oh goodness ya'll.  Why can't people go along with how the show is supposed to work.  Go on the show.  Make out.  Go on dates.  Fight with the girls.  Fall in love with the boy.  Boy proposes.  Get married.  Have babies.  Live happily ever after.  Is that so hard?  

I will be prepared for next weeks show with a bottle (or two) of wine, some girlfriends and a box of tissues.  I will warn you know...next weeks show will most likely bring out the "WTFs" in me, but I will try to be on my best behavior.  Oh dear, I am already getting anxious about this.  Dang DeAnna.  I think she is going to screw up everything.  

If you haven't been spoiled, leave a comment as to what you think will happen...I'd love to hear it!

The Bachelor Recap #7...Overnight Dates!

Holy Moly Ya'll.  It is 7:45pm and I am actually camped out on the couch with my MacBook blogging while watching the Bachelor.  So, as long as there isn't bad weather and my TIVO freaks out, I'll have this posted tonight.  Yea for me!

This is the overnight dates for all three remaining girls; Molly, Melissa and Jillian.  My prediction is that Molly will be out.  Also, this is apparently the show that DeAnna comes back.  I am not going to believe it until I see it though. 

Right now Jason is recapping his relationships with the remaining woman.  With Jillian he wants to see the passion.  With Molly he was glad that her family approves of him and wants to see if he will take it to the next level.  With Melissa, he wants to have a serious conversation about why her parents wouldn't meet him and why they weren't there for her.

Queenstown, New Zealand...Overnight Dates

#1: Jillian

Their date starts with a helicopter ride over these amazingly beautiful cliffs in New Zealand.  They then park it on a blanket and have some great conversation about each other.  They seem really at ease together.

After their picnic, they met up at the beautiful little winery.  Let me just get this out of the way, how awesome are Jillian's clothes.  Right now she is wearing this sweet/sexy little pink dress that looks like it should be on Legally Blond.  She needs to get ahold of me and give me her hand-me-downs!

OME!  If I hear Jason say one more time about how he wants to see the passion with her or he wants to see if there is more physically, I am going to throw one of Gage's cars at the TV.  She is a hottie Jason, just go makeout with her.  The passion will be there.  Goodness boy, keep it in your pants!

Ok Jason, I am now witnessing the passion.  She has just accepted the key to their room!  I love how ABC is playing the sexy elevator music...Jillian just said that it is going to be a long night and she hoped he could "Handle All This Fire!"  LOVE IT!

Of course, when they get to their suite, they head straight for the hot tub.  WHAT AM I WATCHING.  I think it switched me to a porn movie.  The music got fiesty.  Their are two people straddling each other in a hot tub...oh wait...It is still the Bachelor.  Whoa.  It is getting hot!!!  I am feeling a bit uncomfortable watching this

#2: Molly

Their dates starts off with bungy jumping.  I'm out...If that were me, I'm out.  Just watching them wiggle to the edge is making my stomach nervous.  Jason totally screamed like a total girl!!!  Oh goodness!

After their jump, they go eat.  That is when Molly pulls out the list of questions.  Some of the questions are silly, but they answered the little things.  

(Side Note: It just went to commercial and they showed that one where the couple is riding the bike.  How gross it is that the woman has the LONGEST armpit hair.  Gross-o-lo!)

Jason is wanting to see the more serious side of Molly.  He knows they have a lot of fun together, but needs more.  Their conversation seems a little hard to come by.  Jason noticed some things about her family, specifically the space between her parents.  He was concerned that there maybe be a problem with her letting her guard down with him.  Once they started talking about her guard down, it became awkward, almost like Molly knew she wasn't the one but still needed to tell him that she is falling in love with him.  I don't really know what to make of that conversation.  It seemed odd.  

Her final question was of her asking him to spend the night with her.  So, off the head!  Their date started off in the bathtub.  Really, this show is getting a little slutty.  Somebody's going to get pregnant!

#3: Melissa

I LOVE their reunions.  They seems so happy, genuinely happy to see each other!  It is so sweet to watch.  I think she is the one!!  Their date started out on Winston Churchill's boat on a lake.  It was just beautiful out there.  They then get back on dry land, only to get into some hot pools.  I feel bad for Melissa having to talk about her parents.  You know it has to be hard for her to have missed out on that.  

Their date then moved on to a nice restaurant.  I am a little sick of them talking about her parents though.  Let's move on...

The suite.  When Melissa was reading that card, Jason was totally blushing.  So they went off to their suite at the Matakauri Lodge.  She opens up to Jason and tells him that she loves him.  It was so sweet.  He looks at her so tenderly and with so much compassion and love and happiness.  She is totally the one!!!

The Rose Ceremony:

While the ladies are walking to their spots, Jason is watching the video messages.  Each tells him how much fun they have with him and how much they want to be with him.  When he was watching Melissa's video, it looked like he was going to cry.  He better not send her home!

Rose #1: Melissa (YEA!!!!)

Rose #2: Molly

Going home: Jillian (OH MY GOODNESS, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!)

Jason just walked her out and sat her down on a bench.  He tells her that he has never met anyone like her.  But that their lives are just too different.  It is so hard to watch Jillian open up so much and show her emotions for him.  Jason must feel horrible doing that to her.  Poor Jillian.  She is one strong and impressive woman.  

Next Week:

The Reunion and Woman Tell All.  

Favorite couples of seasons past.

And, the final show.

When is DeAnna coming back?  Ok, here she is.  She goes to New Zealand.  I am not a DeAnna fan...Of course, ABC tells us that it will be the most dramatic episode EVER.  Dum Dum Dum!

Love the farting noise while Molly and Jason were in the tub.  I am totally cracking up here!!!  Love bluppers!

"Yucky Arms"

First, you might want to go down to the bottom of the page and turn the playlist off. In case you don't catch what Gage is really eating, he is eating Lucky Charms. He calls them, "Yucky Arms".

Valentines in the ER...and NO, I'm not dating the ER doctor

Seriously, I'm not dating the ER doctor.  That would be the only valid and acceptable reason to spend the evening in the ER.  So, here is the story of my VDay, and please, I am really warning you that this is TMI!  Like, hardcore TMI. Don't keep reading and then say, I should have stopped because I now know too much about Linsey's bowels.  

Ok, here it goes.  On Tuesday morning I woke up with some serious tummy issues and diarrhea.  This continues throughout the week and then gets worse Friday night and into Saturday.  So, I head on over to the local ER where the nice doctor tells me that I need bloodwork done and an IV of fluids.  Two hours later I am feeling better and head back home.  Thankfully my friend Alicia was there with her two girls for the weekend.  She watched all the kids while I was gone.  Hopefully things will get better for me!

Hope your Valentine's was a bit more romantic than mine!

The Bachelor Recap #6...hometown dates

Darn it.  I totally watched the bachelor on monday and blogged about it.  However, I didn't post because I wanted to proof it.  Then I forgot and here it is Thursday and I am just now doing it.  Darn it!  Anyways, here it is...

First let me say that when I found out the President was going to be speaking at 7pm I almost had an accident.  I had to immediately check my tivo to make sure that one, the bachelor was still coming on and two, that I was going to tivo the entire show.  Peace was with me because the bachelor is on and we get to see it all!  Yea!  Good planning President Obama!

This is the hometown dates!  I am watching the previews, which by the way are lasting forever, but I really think I like Melissa for him the best.  I for sure don't like Naomi and am also not really a fan of Molly.  I like Jillian because she has my daughter's name, but also because she is so fun.  I think Melissa is the best match for him.  We shall see!

Hometown #1: Kelowna, B.C. Canada...Jillian

(let me take this opportunity to send a shout out to all my Canadian readers!  What's up, eh?)

After their reunion, which included a slow motion running hug, kisses and romantic gazes, they went to a winery.  Jillian opens up to him that her mom suffered from depression when she was growing up.  It was touching to see her get so emotional about the struggle her parents had in their marriage due to the depression.  I think it was good for Jason to know that about her and see a softer side.  

Jason met Jillian's parents, cousin, cousin's boyfriend and possibly her grandmother.  Her mother gave a sweet, but cheesy toast to Jillian and then asked to take Jason aside.  She actually had a typed out list of questions to ask him.  So funny...I can envision the family sitting together before he showed up and created that list of questions!  After the interrogation (not really, she was actually really nice to Jason) Peggy went to talk to Jillian.  Glen, her dad, seemed so sweet.  He got emotional just talking about Jillian.  I am sure that Jillian's father has created rather large shoes for her future husband to fill, he seemed like a kind and loving man.  

(Side Note: Is anyone getting tired of the side pony on Jillian?  She always has her hair like that.)

The Granny came!  What a class act!  I think she had love-at-first-sight with Jason.  Shortly after, Jason left and got ready for HM Date #2.

Hometown Date #2 Grand Rapids, MI...Molly

They meet at a country club.  Random.  Don't really picture Jason as a country club type of guy.  I have only been watching Molly's date for a couple of minutes and I am already done with her.  Sweet girl, but I think she NOT going to last.  Could she have put any more pressure on Jason by repeatedly commenting on how she does not bring guys she dates home because she cares so intensely about what her parents thing?  Yikes!  Then, double yikes, Molly's mom brings out head gear.  Oh my!  Poor Jas.

The head dresses come off and the momma takes him to draw Molly's picture, really?  Her dad gives his approval to her and a bit of advice.  He told her that if she doesn't make it to the end, don't cry in the limo.  Ha!  That made me laugh.  I'm glad he doesn't want the type of daughter that cusses out the camera guys while balling like she just witnessed the murder of her dog.  Good guy.  

Ok, so maybe I do like Molly for Jason.  

Hometown Date #3 Lake Elsinore, CA...Naomi

Someone, please tell her that "important" should be pronounced with a T!!!!!  (pet peeve, sorry)  Jason meets her mom, dad, sister, younger brother, niece, nephew and half-sister.  First comes the hula hoops.  Poor Jason, he can't hula hoop...hope that isn't an indicator of his beneath the sheets moves.  Heehee!  Second comes the dead dove.  OME!!  ARE YOU SERIOUS?  Jason, run now, run as fast as you can!!!  Let us all have a moment of silence for Rosy, the dead dove.

Seriously, Naomi is a goner.  Pack up now and lets get to Melissa's date...

(I do have to mention, before moving on, Hector, the father, sits Jason down to give him the christian spiritual conversation.  He got pretty intimate on the topic, but then the mom interrupted them and took Jason away for some one on one!  She then sits down with him and discusses the premonitions she has and how Naomi is strong psychically.  Then she moved on to reincarnation.  Hmmmmm...no wonder Naomi's parents got a divorce.)

Hometown Date #4 Dallas, TX...Melissa (YEA DALLAS!)

Their reunion was by far the best!  They were so giddy happy lovey dovey.  Love it!  Love her!  She gave Jason a gift, which she made, and it was for Ty...a tooth fair tooth holder.  Major brownie points!  Then the floor drops a bit.  Her parents did not feel comfortable meeting Jason with all the cameras.  Poor Melissa.  Suck it up folks, she needs this!  I thought it was actually really nice because the friends she brought him to meet were married and had kids.  I thought it was going to be more of a bunch of young girls drooling over Jason, but was glad that it still had the family vibe to it.  

The girls split and googoo over how great she feels with Jason.  The guys split and talked about Melissa.  The guys had only good things to say about her.  It was really sweet because the talk about her like they would talk about their little sister.  So sweet!

A red flag for Jason was the fact that her close friends didn't really know her parents and vice versa.  Jason and Melissa were the only ones, from all the hometown dates, that got alone time together after the "family time".  She had to explain to him that her parents are very private people, don't know her friends, didn't go to any of her games.   Sad, but then they kissed a bunch, so that made it better!

Rose Ceremony

#1: Molly...she looked like she was wearing my BCBGMaxAzria dress, which I have in blue and wore to the Twilight Premiere.  I wore it better! :)

#2: Jillian

#3: Melissa

Bye bye Naomi.  Poor thing, but they just weren't compatible.  At least not to me, the viewer of the Bachelor.  

(deanna, are you even coming back?  deanna, are you there?)

Falling Whistles

go here to read about my unexpected outing on Saturday evening

The Bachelor Recap #5...2 hours?!?!?!

I can't believe this show is 2 hours.  Man, I'll try to keep it short and too the point.  I had another Bachelor watching party.  Cindy, Dylana, Liz!  I love you girls so much.  Thank you for coming over to watch the show.  I love that we have yet to watch an episode!  Our chats mean more to me than you know.

Ok, Final 5! Molly, Jillian, Melissa, Stephanie, Naomi.  All the ladies will be traveling to Seattle.  This episode was running slow for me.  Like super slow.  Like they should have cut out some of the jealous chit chat of the women and made it an hour show instead of 2 hours.

It was sweet to show the reunion between Jason and Ty.  He is always emotional when they meet again.  So sweet!  Can I just mention that Seattle is so beautiful?  Well, it is!

Date #1: Melissa

(side note: Naomi is whining because she didn't get the first one on one.  Naomi, stop whining and guess what, IMPORTANT has a T in the middle, it isn't impor-ant!)

Not a big fan of Melissa's dress, it kind of squished her boobs funny.  Poor Ty and poor Jason. He is totally having a child meltdown moment.  So, he calls Melissa (LATE: not good) and tells her to get in the car and go to his house.  When Jason comes down Melissa is in her boob squishing dress, so she changed into her stretchy pants.  I love that because we all know we have our stretchy pants!  

Another side note: Melissa played with her ice cream for like 5 minutes and never ate a bite.  Their date is giving me a weird vibe.  I don't have a good feeling about her and Jason's future.  Oh and I just saw her tramp stamp! 

Date #2: Stephanie, Jillian, Molly: starts on a boat, then a radio station, then dinner/drinks at the hotel

Stephanie get the first alone time.  I like her, I think she is sweet.  But tonight she was looking a little to Trani (transvestite) for me.  She had on a with fur vest and lots of rings and makeup.  

At the radio station the girls are sitting in another room where they cannot hear.  However, Melissa and Naomi are at home listening to his answers, including the one of who was the best kisser.  That had to hurt the other girls who were listening.  The kissing questions leads to a blind kissing test to see if he could figure out who is who.  That is a totally loaded event!  Lucky for Jason, he got it all right.  Good job Jason! 

Jillian got the second alone time with him.  She opens up to him and let him know that she came here for the experience.  Wow!  That surprised me.  I wonder if she is there for the right reasons and don't know is she is ready to be a stepmom and wife.  We shall see!  I want to see him in her environment. 

Date #3: Naomi

I am over Naomi.  Their date started on a sea plane and then moved to a large sporting good store.  I am annoyed by her hair, why is it always in her face.  I am annoyed with her hood.  Why do you need to wear a hood indoors?  It isn't raining.  It isn't windy.  Take the hood off.  Did that bug ya'll or am I being mean?

Ok, so the next day he comes to the girls hotel room and pull Jillian aside.  He wants to make sure she is there for the right reasons.  I love her again!  She seems so fun and loving and real.  It makes me think they are good again.  She is Molly's biggest competition.  I feel like those two girls the leaders of the pack.  I will place my bet on Molly and Jillian to be the final two.  Anyone with me?

I am not a cussing girl, but when  the h-e-double hockey stick is DeAnna coming???

I think either Stephanie or Naomi are going home.  

Rose Ceremony:

All the girls look great...except Naomi.  I did not like her blue/black faux two piece dress and I hate those two bunches of hair that she constantly keeps on either side of her face.  I also wasn't a big fan of Stephanie's dress.  Jason surprised the girls and says that he needs to ask one girl more questions.  It was Naomi and I really didn't think he asked her that much.  He asked if she was ready for this lifestyle.  That was it.  Really, I thought he would have asked more or voiced more concern.  

And the roses go too: Jillian.  Melissa.  Molly.  Naomi

Stephanie is going home.  Jason wants to say in front of everyone:

You are...the most amazing person I have ever met.  And I think we are all better people for meeting you here.  You are a beautiful person, outside and in.  I'm so glad to have met you.  

She is one amazing woman.  I hope she is the next Bachelorette or better yet, finds a man that will make her a princess.  She is one classy lady.

Next time...  Jason travels to the girls hometowns.
