The Bachelor: Observations On Episode 2

It’s Friday the 13th and I have a bad case of writer’s block. #Cursed. Since I can’t think of a brilliant topic to write about, I present to you…

VERY OLD TV RECAPS THAT YOU PROBABLY DON’T CARE ABOUT.

Wednesday was the first night in a long time that I got to spend some quality time with The Professor. He’s spent the last few weeks flying around the country or spending time with his other fiancé, Miss Dissertation.

Since it was my turn to choose an activity, we spent our quality time drinking wine and catching up on The Bachelor (duh). We finally watched the second episode.

By now, this is incredibly old news, but let’s reflect back on our observations on episode 2:

The Professor wants to know when it became cool to rock only a half zipped hoodie:

I want to know why Jillian doesn’t own a TV appropriate bikini:

The Professor wants to know why anyone would think a tractor race would be entertaining..."They only have 3 speeds!!":

I want to know WHY THIS GIRL GOT A ROSE:

The Professor wants to know why Mackenzie thought it would be a good idea to talk about big noses and aliens on a first date:

I want to know why none of these girls protested walking down a busy street in a bikini:

We both want to know if anyone DIDN’T see this breakup coming after how awkward they were on the red carpet during the live premiere:

#CalledIt

Now that we’ve got the fly outs and unpacking (mostly) out of the way, we might be able to get caught up on the rest of the season!

In other news, we’re celebrating our Valentine’s Day tonight because we are headed to Justin’s Grandma’s birthday party tomorrow. The Professor planned the entire evening. I, for one, am hoping it involves watching a few more episodes of The Bachelor!

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?

What are your weekend plans?

Who else watches The Bachelor?

Prince Farming and Walrus Jokes

After our whirlwind trip to Boston, it was nice to be back in lil ole’ Danville. We didn’t get home until after midnight on Monday and we both had to be up and at work at 8am on Tuesday. Ugh. Since there was ZERO time to stop at the grocery, I joined Justin for lunch at the college dining hall.

It has been a LONG time since I’ve been in a dining hall. I was having flashbacks to my Freshman 15 look! I opted for the salad bar and built a crazy-awesome salad. I was surprised by the variety of greens, veggies, and dressings. Maybe if I had visited the salad bar during college I could have avoided that 15 pounds I picked up haha.

This picture does not do it justice, but it’s the only one I took. Please ignore the cheese, ranch dressing, and croutons…there are some things I just can’t move away from. Also – please send me money for a manicure! Thanks J

When The Boy got home from work, I reminded him that The Bachelor premier was this week and we settled in to ~~make fun of the girls~~ watch Famer Chris fall in love. Justin pretends he hates this show but I think he secretly loves it. Or maybe he just loves making fun of it! We were both big fans of Chris last season so ~~we’re I’m~~ we’re extra excited for Monday nights.

We didn’t realize that the premier was THREE HOURS long. Goodness ABC, some of us have to work in the morning! We poured some wine and settled in for some entertainment. Before I give you our Top 3 picks, I have to share some of The Boy’s wonderful commentary.

For example – when it finally dawned on him that “Part 1” was a red carpet countdown:
