Hello, don’t kill me.
Because I’m going to sit this season out.
Literally.
I’m just going to sit and watch the show every Monday night (possibly with ice cream and/or wine) and I’m not going to take notes.
It’s kind of freeing.
Except that I’m afraid you want to kill me.
I have a few thoughts (or excuses, if you will) about it.
1) I don’t think I entirely agree with the whole Kaitlyn vs. Britt shenanigans that are going on. SCOFF.
2) It’s the end of the year. I’m tired. I’m stressed. I keep calling kids by the wrong name and I know these kids. They’re in my class and have been in my class since day one. And I’m not talking a little bit here and there. I’m talking no one is safe and even if your name is just as easy as pie (like Ann), I’m gonna call you Jim Bob by accident. Don’t even get me started on spelling the names.
3) I figured if I Talked About it Tuesday on Facebook, we could have more of a conversation . . . and reply to one another and chit chat that way in more of a live feed situation. I think. I don’t know. I’m not saying I’m going to sit on FB all night on Tuesdays, either. I mean, hello . . . The Real Housewives of New York are on Tuesday nights. One has to prioritize, right?
4) I have a suggestion for you if you want to read hilarious recaps. Her name is Sheaffer and she blogs over at Pinterest Told Me To.
I have talked about her before. I kind of stalk her.
I also stalk her best friend, Shae, who happens to be Sean’s (The Bachelor who married Catherine) sister.
Sometimes, I even enlist people to do my stalking in person. As in, Kerry, my twin, has met both of them at the mall (in her city in Texas). She just went right on up to them and said hi.
I like to pretend I was there, too, and that we all sat down and had a frozen yogurt or a Starbucks together.
Anywho, Shaeffer cracks me up. I mean, I laugh and laugh. I love the way she writes. And, according to Kerry, we have similar writing styles and a similar voice. So. Maybe it will be like you are reading my recap except for the fact that you won’t.
Hmmm.
But seriously, give Shaeffer a try and let me know what you think. She is super duper popular and has a ton of fans. Her recaps generally come out Wednesday or Thursday because she has a son and a husband and a job and a dog . . . and a life.
And, if you DO visit Shaeffer for a bachelor recap, you HAVE TO TELL HER THAT I SENT YOU!!
In fact, HOW ABOUT EVERYONE LEAVES A COMMENT TELLING HER THAT I SENT YOU SO THAT SHE THINKS I’M IMPORTANT?! And then maybe she will stalk me!
I’m not embarrassed to say that I’ve also emailed her on several occasions for fashion advice. She always replies.
We are this.close.
In my mind.

Please forgive me for not doing the recaps. Don’t hate me. Please.
Although, I’ve kind of always wanted a hater (just to know that I’ve arrived) so maybe one negative comment would be okay. But just one.
No more than one.
Or I might cry.
And delete it.

I love Shaeffer and Shae and follow them both on Instagram for fashion advice and adorable puppy and kid pics. Creepy of me? Yes, but I'm not ashamed! I'll definitely look to their blogs for recaps. Yours will be missed though it's always a highlight! Enjoy your ice cream and wine, I'll be doing the same!

Julie Clark says
I LOVE Shaeffer and Shay!! I follow both their blogs and instagram, too. We're tight. :)Shaeffer's recaps crack me up!! I will miss yours, but I totally understand. Enjoy!

Oh, my heart just got a little sad. I mean, I understand your reasonings, but I am taking a moment to be selfish. I will definitely miss being able to laugh along as I read and quote you to my husband who never seems to laugh as hard as me. He will probably be okay with the break though. He's probably gotten tired of my recapping your recap every week.
Beany says
What? I missed it (ok, fell asleep due to end of the year exhaustion) and thought "oh, no worries. . .Teeny Tiny Teacher will recap it for me like I was there. . .but good to know someone can recap the craziness of the situation. Who likes pitting one against another? (oh wait, I think that is how it is where I might go every day of the week). . .not sure I can muster up enough courage to watch people enjoy this (because wouldn't they then be condoning what is going on in education now?) Oh sorry, got off topic. Gonna miss your recaps, but totally understand! Can we get a countdown for the end of the year? YAY!
Leah says
Because Teeny told me to (sometime ago) I am also a follower of Pinterest Told Me To. I will truly miss your recaps. I don't watch the shows but my friends do and I look forward to your recaps. I believe you make it better than watching it!!! Especially the 4+ hour shows. Thank you!
Molly Stahl says
I actually told my husband that because you aren't doing recaps, I don't have to watch episodes when they air and instead I can watch OnDemand during the day since it will be Summer and I will be carefree and without a schedule! So, he thanks you!
KTP on TPT says
I don't think it's possible for you to have any haters! We love you too much!!

I'd *much* rather read your recaps, and will miss them, but I do understand your reasoning. It's a busy time of year!
