An Iowa Mom

Oh Yeah - First One Wins!

If you've been reading me for a while ... a long while ... you know that there is one show that I absolutely LOVE to watch, that I'll never actually admit to watching if you ever tell.  I'll swear you're a liar.  I really will.

What is that show?

It's on right now.

The first one with the correct answer ... wins a little prize.

GO!

Watching It?

I don't know why I'm thinking of this right now ... but that's beside the point.  Sitting here gathering Gatorade for Jake's ball game tonight, it popped into my head and I had to scoot right over here to my computer and ask you all.

Do you watch The Bachelorette? 

I saw the very first episode and then the one last night.  Apparently that is all I needed to watch because I feel like I'm right there on top of things.  I just didn't have to deal with all the 'crap' in between.  HA! 

So, my question is ... if you DO indeed watch, who would your choice be thus far?

Jeremy - the attorney from Dallas
Jason - the dad
Jesse - the snowboarder

Obviously she HAD to get rid of Graham last night ... because, ya know ... his name didn't start with a "J".  That was a no brainer.

So, tell me two things ... who do you think Deanna will pick?

AND

If it were you ... who would the guy be holding the final rose?

A Big "L" Tattoo, Maybe?

Please don't ask me what in the heck has happened to me, but I am officially addicted to bad TV.  You all thought my dedication to Dog The Bounty Hunter was bad?  Oh yeah, I have so moved on.

As many of you know I became a loyal member of Blockbuster Total Access.  LOVE. IT.  Since we never go to movies, I don't know why ... maybeithassomethingtodowiththesefourkidswholivewithme ... ahem ... so this cool little service caught me up on some of the movies I've been wanting to see.

However, there is only so many movies one person can watch before they all start running together and you don't know which blond actress fell in love with which hunk in which chick flick.

So I took a break from movies.

BUT, I don't want to waste my membership monthly fee, so I decide on the recommendation of a friend, to order a disk set of Weeds.

Have you ever seen Weeds?

OH.MY ... I can not even wait for next season that I'm sure everyone else has watched on HBO, or Showtime ... or whatever channel I don't have and it's old time news ... as I'm anticipating plopping my butt on my couch and watching the entire season in one sitting ... just like I did the first two.

So then Weeds was over.  And I want another series because there is nothing better than watching episodes back to back to back and not having to watch the stinkin' teasers that keep my panties in a bunch until the following week ... when the next episode airs.

But I don't know of any series, because I'm a loser like that.  But not as big of a loser as I'm about to become.

I remembered back to a long time ago and I was reading a Dooce post.  Because ... hello ... everyone reads Dooce, right?  And she in passing mentioned something about watching "The Hills".  So, because I knew of nothing else, and I love Heather ... I ordered Season One and it arrived the next day in my mailbox.  I had no idea what it was, or what it would be about. 

And that was last Thursday.  And I watched it and returned it and got Season Two ... and I've watched it already.  I'm hooked on the freakin' most immature, too young and hip for me, show.

I yell at Spencer and Heidi through my television like my husband yells at the Dallas Cowboys.  I have fights with myself telling me to shut off the damn DVD because it's ridiculous ... but then I say, "JUST ONE MORE EPISODE!"  It's like a drug.  And before I even knew it, I had ingested everything I had available to me.

And it drove me crazy.

So, I actually Googled  THE HILLS and MTV ... because I'm becoming more cool since I've been watching it and I knew that the show normally airs on MTV.  3 days ago ... I would not have know that.

Here is the problem ... the site will allow me to watch every single episode of season three.  So, I don't have to wait for the boxed set to be available.

This is trouble. 

I have work to do, ya know? 

I have kids to watch and play with ... and parent ... and yell at.

I have 36 years behind me.  THIRTY SIX! 

I have no business watching this show.

But, it's right there for the taking.

And I have to go now.

Because Lauren is waiting for me.

Finally ...

It hasn't even been a year, but it just feels like such a long time comin' ...

ROSIE IS FINALLY LEAVING ...

and I can watch "The View" again.  Yeah!

The Bachelor Begins ...

  Yea, I'm not afraid to admit it ... maybe a little embarrassed, but not afraid ... I love watching The Bachelor. 

Shoot, what's not to love about watching 25 beautiful women act like 10 year olds, cat fighting over an hunk with a great job?  Though there has to be SOMETHING wrong with them because they are STILL single, right?  Whatever!  I'm in it for the chicks acting like idiots and behaving more bizarre than any woman would on a scripted TV show.

So, tonight is the night!  Watch it ... ABC ... 8:30 CST.  Meet me back here tomorrow and if you predict the winner, that one lucky gal, in my comments section before the next episode airs ...you'll win a free pair of my beaded socks in the color(s) of your choice!    Come on ... make a prediction!!!  It'll be fun!

Oh yeah ... and stop calling me a loser!  I can't help it ...
