The Bachelor

I have come to terms. I am a reality TV junkie. If I could watch it all the time, I would. It all started years and years ago with "The People's Court" with Judge Wapner. I used to watch it on the very rare occasion I was home sick from school. Then I used to secretly watch *gasp* The Real World. I chuckle when I think about how much reality TV has changed. The big scandal on "The Real World: Seattle" was when Steven smacked Irene in the face! Remember that??? I think I was in like, 8th grade.

Anyway, nowadays reality TV is all about sex and scripts and its so lame, but sometimes I just cant pull away! I don't like to watch the stuff thats too crazy (Jersey shore? No thanks.), but I do admit that on Monday nights after putting the little one to bed, I like to unwind by watching "The Bachelor."

Oh I know! It's so lame, slightly degrading, and just as scripted as anything else on TV. Not to mention its probably a terrible idea for someone who had a baby 5 months ago, and is 20-25lbs overweight, to watch 25 skinny, beautiful women jump in swimming pools and hang out in hot tubs. Not good for the self esteem, but I can't turn away.

I honestly don't know why I watch it! Jake is not my type at all, and I am just dumbfounded how these ladies swoon all over him. He seems way too sensitive and wishy-washy for my taste, but I really hope thats just how they edited him. Ugh and there is this face that he does that just drives me insane where he looks all concerned and furrows his eyebrows. He makes this face 10-12 times an episode.

Anyway, about 85% of the reason I watch it is so I know what they are talking about on Bonnie the next day!

This week's update was hilarious!!

here is the link. If you watch the bachelor, you will find this funny.

In real life news:

My little man is constipated and I really don't know what to do about it! I started him on solids weeks ago and he has been pooping every day, and now all of a sudden today he just cant get it out! A veeery little bit of poop came out and it was much thicker than normal and I just feel so bad for the little guy! poor thing. He goes to the doctors on Friday, so I'm not too worried. I just hope he gets it out before then! Yesterday he went to bed really early, too. Around 6:15! He usually goes to bed between 8 and 9 and all of a sudden he went to bed at 6:15 and didn't wake up until 4:30 this morning. Then he slept until 7:30am. I hope he is ok, I'm getting a bit worried!

Anyway, I should probably go and start dinner. Tonight is pork chops and asparagus. Hope its edible!
