It’s Tuesday.
And yesterday was Monday. I didn’t do much of anything yesterday — I stayed in my pjs, we watched a couple of movies, I burned 30 DVDs, I ate a lot . . . you know – the usual holiday schedule at our house.
And then Reagan at Tunstall’s Teaching Tidbits informed me that The Bachelorette was ON.
Say what? I said.
Huh?
Come again?
And, sure enough, The Bachelorette season premiere was ON.
I was taken by surprise.
And even though Reagan is two hours ahead of me, I just didn’t have time to prepare myself for note taking. That would have involved looking for paper and a pencil (which are really hard to come by around here because I take any and all pencils to school seeing as how my kids eat their pencils) or maybe getting out my Mac which I had shut down since it had just burned 30 DVDs and was a little bit . . . well, it was tired.
All of that is to say that I was unable to take notes during the Season Premiere due to all of the laziness going on.
But I still have some things I’d like to talk about so stick around.
I loved Desiree on Sean’s season. But I need her to stop crying already. It’s a little too early to be emotional! Calm down, Desiree!
ER Doctor? Yikes. CUH-REEPER.
Hashtag Guy? What in the world? You can’t SAY hashtag, can you? Aren’t you just supposed to write it?
#hesaidhashtagwaytoomuch
I mean, it would be like if I said parenthesis every time I went off on a tangent in my conversations with people. And because I am the queen of RECALCULATING, I’d be saying it a lot.
Here’s an example:
Me (OUT LOUD IN A CONVERSATION WITH MY TEACHING PARTNER): I’ve got to go make copies of that word hunt. Parenthesis, I got it from a really good friend blogger of mine and you would just love her. I don’t really know her, but I do. And then while I’m in the office, I should turn that key into the secretary. Parenthesis, I locked myself out this morning because I’m in a million different places at once and can’t keep my head on straight. Parenthesis, I didn’t sleep that well last night because Murphie was taking up too much room on the bed.
It just DOES NOT WORK, Hashtag Guy.
Shirtless Guy – I couldn’t appreciate it because it was just wrong. I mean, I appreciate that he works out and has nice abs. I get it. But couldn’t we wait until the obligatory pool party that’s coming up to see his abs? AND THEN SHE GAVE HIM A ROSE FOR JUMPING IN THE POOL? DES!!
Insert shake of head.
And pretend I said it out loud. Does that work? Can I start saying Insert Frown Face. Insert Shoulder Shrug. How’s that?
First Guy to Get a Rose That Has a Son — fine, okay, cute kid, blah, blah. HOWEVER, if another guy on the Bachelor or the Bachelorette says that their little kid is their BEST FRIEND, I just may have to write a letter.
Your four year old son should not be your best friend. He should be your son. Maybe when he is OLDER, he could be your best friend. But right now? Really? My best friend does not have a bedtime. And she doesn’t need me to wipe her when we go to the bathroom together. JUST SAYING.
I thought Wake Boarder guy was cute, although I could never stay outside all day long. Well, I guess I could. But I wouldn’t like it. Unless there was air conditioning and reality TV and wireless internet.
I know there were a lot more guys that I thought were cute . . . but I can’t think of any in particular right now.
So please jog my memory and let me know your thoughts about last night!!!
Insert Sad Face.

Parenthesis, I hope you forgive me.
As always, your blog is so fun to read! At first, I liked the dad, but I think he's a playa…at least I think so from the previews for upcoming shows. Dunno about the others just yet. And I agree, she needs to stop the crying 🙂

Don't forget about Fantasy Suite Guy that she sent home before they even got to the rose ceremony. He seemed so puzzled that she wasn't interested. Also, one of the guys said that his mother thought he was handsome. Whose mother DOESN'T think they're handsome?
Oh I needed a laugh today! The junior highers I volunteer with at church say hashtag_____ ALL the time! It makes me laugh. I would like to say … out loud, during conversations.

Also, I read this post out loud to my roommate…like I do every week…and she says you should definitely say parenthesis as part of regular conversation.

Yep…I think we just need to start saying everything we type out loud. I did hear someone say "hashtag" out loud a few weeks ago and I was like, really!?! really!? Now I get it. It all makes perfect sense 😉
I love love your comments! What about the Magician? I thought his part was making himself disappear.. Oh the sweaty knight? Because of your past comments I'm watching the show for the very first time..
I forgot to record it. I have to take the time to watch it on the computer, when I'm not too sure. My in-laws are coming to watch my daughter's end of the year program. I need to clean my room and make my daughter's teacher her gift for next year (I told her I was going to make her homework bags for next year).
We call that shiny when we are talking and I shiny a lot!!!! It is a joke with my friends when I change the subject in the middle of a sentence they say shiny.
I was looking forward to reading your comments, but I forgive you! I thought it was great that she let the Fantasy Suite guy go before the rose ceremony. I've never seen that before on the first night. He's the one that said his mom thinks he's handsome. He was Bad News!
Have a great last couple of days! I have 12 days left!
When the show came on I thought…this is all happening so fast…we just aren't prepared. I will make sure Kristin knows! Mostly because I am codependent and I need others to watch my shows and tell me what I think about them! We DIED laughing at hashtagfantasysuitefail over here. Tanner happened to walk through right at that point and he burst out laughing and stayed for the rest of the show. We've been using it all week. Last night it was hashtagdinnerfail. It has kind of become the only thing in our vocabulary this week. So I suppose we need to knock that right off but it is so fun!
I am so glad Reagan reminded you about The Bachelorette because it just wouldn't be the same watching without your amazing commentary! It was all about Fantasy Suite Guy for me. He was such a creep! Glad she at least redeemed herself by sending that one home!

Ha! Awesome post! I was laughing out loud and I completely agree hash tag guy is a weirdo..actually. Thought a lot of the guys were the best this season. Of course I'll still watch but I gotta say I'm a little disappointed…

I NEED to meet you IRL parenthesis in real life end-parenthesis!
I agree with Sarah…guys were a little disappointing this season. THANK GOODNESS she got rid of the magician..ewww! Mikey was good looking, but that name for a grown man is annoying. All there "tries" for her attention when they first came out of the limo were getting on my nerves too. Couldn't anyone be adult enough to just say "hello, nice to meet you and I look forward to getting to know you." Of course, I won't stop watching and I can't wait to read your posts about it!
Oh my word…thanks for the laugh!! Sooooo funny. I completely agree about all of this, but I'd like to add fantasy suite guy! What was up with him??!? He was creepy too.
Do we do this every week here? I'm rather new! If so, I will definitely look forward to my dose of Teeny Tiny on Tuesdays!!

Thanks for the laughs! You nailed it (even without the notes).
Des had to be thinking, "Are these guys for real?" It was one stunt after another.
Just for fun, let's recap. There was…I'm Knight in Shining Armor guy, I Designed My Own Weird Jacket guy, I Forgot My Shirt guy, Let's Go to the Fantasy Suite guy, Let Me Dip You (and rip your dress) guy, I Can Drive a Motorcycle guy, Let me Show You My Magic Trick guy, and I Can't Stop Saying 'Hashtag' guy. I'm sure I'm missing a few other winners. 😉
Can't wait for next week's Talk About It Tuesday!
magician guy… no
naked guy… no
weird glasses on/glasses off let me dance poorly with you and nearly drop you with a dip guy (WHAT WAS WITH THOSE EYES? So creeeeeepy!) … no
#hashtag guy… #no
shining armor guy … no
fantasy suit guy … no
father guy (something wrong is amiss there) … no
I found myself saying "no" a lot Monday night.
As always your posts are hilarious. I too am thinking there are slim pickin's this season so instead I've turned to the next Bachelor… The Baby Bachelor
You may have already seen this video but I thought I should bring it to your attention just in case 🙂 Perhaps you'll have to add another Talk About It.
