Brad is Back! Be still my heart....

I was going to write a long post on my love of Brad the Bachelor and how he is back. However, I read an AWESOME BLOG, "If You Ask Me", that depicts the episode and my love of Brad in a much better way than I ever could.

So, thank you Audreya for putting in to words what I would have tried to do. My favorite part of the entire post is when she uses her "psychic prowess" to describe what Brad was thinking during the Rose Ceremony.

Check out her post HERE.

P.S. Don't kid yourselves. I read the spoilers about 20 minutes before the show started from Reality Steve. I still enjoyed every single minute of this episode.

Next Time

Please remind me of this next time I decide to cut my hair short. Resend me this post, send me a nasty email, tell me I am a moron, whatever. Just do it.

Reese is one classy lady. I am going blond when my hair gets back to me.


Can you go wrong with long loose waves? I think not.

This is a beautiful long hair updo via Sandra Bullock. She is one of my favorite famous people. So gorgeous and classy and I think that if I met her we would be instant besties.

My other FAVORITE movie star. Kate Winslet. The girl doesn't take a wrong step. Ever.

Does anyone watch So You Think You Can Dance? Cat Deeley is the host and her hair always looks fabulous.

Please don't let the braid go out of style before my hair gets long again. Is it out of style already?

One more of Lauren. Hot.

Sticking with The Hills girls, Kristen's hair always looks beautiful to me. Even when she is laying in bed with Justin Bobby after a long night of....gambling....or something like that in Sin City.

I have NEVER been a fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt's hair. This was a RECENT hairdo at the Emmy's. Are you kidding me JLove? This looks 80s Prom at best.

Survivor

Who still watches this show? I do, and I love it. This season is awesome. The guy I hated for being pretty douchy at the beginning of the season, Russell, has now become the one that I want to win. He has almost single-handedly changed the entire game and how it has been played. It is awesome. He has found the immunity idol twice with no clue, and once with a just a very small clue. It is a great season.

Carrie Prejean Sucks

There are PLENTY of reasons not to like this girl. I mean PLENTY. But, on the Today Show the other morning, Meredith Vieira was interviewing her. Carrie was talking about when she met Donald Trump for the first time. Her words, "And then the Donald came down and meeted us." Meeted you? Aren't gay bashing-sex tape wielding-Sarah Palin loving-beauty queens supposed to speak proper english on TV? I thinked so Carrie, I thinked.

(Did I mention the word on the street is that this girl released her own sex tape for a little press for the book she just wrote? Did I mention the girl got fake boobs to help her win? Did I mention Sarah Palin is her hero?)

A Timeline the Today Show did on this idiot:

Dec. 22, 2008 Carrie Prejean is crowned Miss California USA. After she wins the title, and before she represents her state at the Miss USA pageant, Miss California USA officials pay for Prejean’s breast-enhancement surgery.

April 19, 2009 Prejean finishes first runner-up at the Miss USA pageant broadcast live from the Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. She raises the ire of judge Perez Hilton by stating her opposition to same-sex marriage. Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton is crowned Miss USA.

April 20 Perez Hilton blisters Prejean on his blog and calls her a vulgar name.

April 26 Kristen Dalton, now the new Miss USA, defends Prejean's statement on same-sex marriage during an interview with TODAY's Al Roker.

April 27 Prejean gets a hero’s welcome at The Rock Church, an evangelical mega-church in suburban San Diego. She tells the congregation that she was pressured by Miss California pageant officials not to discuss her Christian faith and to apologize for her statements on same-sex marriage.

April 30 Prejean tells TODAY’s Matt Lauer she will continue to fight for “traditional marriage.” She also confirms that she has filmed an ad for the National Organization for Marriage and has agreed to be a spokesperson for the group. Miss California officials release a statement criticizing her for becoming so deeply involved in a “divisive and polarizing issue.”

May 1 Miss California pageant officials confirm that they paid for Prejean’s breast-enhancement surgery.

May 4 The gossip site thedirty.com publishes one photo of Prejean posing topless in pink panties and says it has five more photos in the set. Prejean is shown covering her breasts with her arm in the photo.

May 5 Prejean issues a statement defending the photo. She says she was 17 when they were taken and that they are from a model shoot.

May 6 Pageant officials cite rules prohibiting Miss California from posing nude or semi-nude and from representing outside organizations and say they are discussing whether to strip Prejean of her crown.

May 11 At a Beverly Hills press conference, Miss California USA officials say it's up to Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump whether or not Prejean should be stripped of her crown.

May 12 At a press conference, Donald Trump announces that Prejean will retain the title of Miss California USA. He also commends her for speaking her mind about same-sex marriage during the Miss USA Pageant.

May 13 On TODAY, Prejean admits there might be more racy photos of her; Trump defends his decision. Meanwhile, Miss California pageant co-director Shanna Moakler resigns from her post, saying that she had lost faith in the organization because of Trump's decision to let Prejean keep the crown.

June 10 Carrie Prejean is stripped off her Miss California title less than a month after Donald Trump announced she would retain it, and commended her for speaking her mind about same-sex marriage. The Miss California USA organization cited Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of them, in violation of her contract, and said that they had Trump’s approval in terminating her.

June 12 Two days after being stripped of her title, Carrie Prejean disputes pageant director Keith Lewis’s claim that she failed to meet her contractual obligations as Miss California, saying that she was instead fired for her stand on same-sex marriage at the Miss USA pageant. "I'm here talking to you because of the answer I gave on that stage," she tells TODAY's Matt Lauer.

July 20 Prejean inks a book deal with conservative book house Regnery Publishing. Her memoir will be called "Still Standing" and will tell her side of the story, according to the publisher.

Aug. 31 Prejean sues pageant officials for libel, slander and religious discrimination, accusing them of telling her to stop mentioning God even before her controversial remarks against gay marriage.

Oct. 19 The franchise that operates the Miss California organization countersues Prejean.

Nov. 3 After a Prejean "sex tape" surfaces, Prejean drops her suit and settles with pageant officials, who reportedly paid her $100,000 to go toward her legal expenses.

Nov. 10 Prejean appears on TODAY and defends the recently surfaced erotic video of her as a youthful indiscretion. She also says negative things about pageant owner Donald Trump and discusses her book, "Still Standing."

Bring it On!

Last night, when Rian was off playing basketball, Cameron and I decided to try our hand at dancing. We are good.

We did the Samba, Quick Step, Waltz and Tango.

Up and down our hall until we were both exhausted from laughing.

Cameron preferred the quick step because it was basically us skipping fast up and down the hall. He also liked the tango though, the big dip at the end was pure joy.

You should try it, it is really fun.

Bring it on DANCING WITH THE STARS! Cameron and I are already practicing!

My Polyvore Test

This is what I wish I was wearing to the So You Think You Can Dance show on Thursday. We'll see if it happens.

The Amazing Race

*Editors Note: I will add pictures of this event tomorrow. At this point in time, I am exhausted!

Today, in my Sports and Entertainment classes, I prepared The Amazing Race! It was a huge race through the entire school.

Some of the Rules:

• Teams had to wear matching uniforms
• They were not allowed to run inside of the school, only power walking (which we practiced in advance)
• Teams had to complete all designated "tasks" and could choose to complete as many "Roadblocks" as they wanted

Tasks (some of them were HILARIOUS):

1. Pick a country from a bowl and point to it on a map - Mrs. Vaughn
2. Answer 5 Science questions from the science portion of the ACT - Mr. Colella
   
3. Solve a math problem - Mr. Thompson
4. Learn a German phrase, teach your teammates and then have them repeat it back to the teacher - Mr. Davis
5. One team member makes two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and the other team members must eat the entire sandwich - Mr. Henry
6. Name 8/10 Presidents by just looking at a picture of them - Mr. Vaughn
7. Wash your hands at the Nurses' office - Mrs. Humes
8. Type at least 30 words per minute - Mr. Henry
9. Write a Haiku on a random topic - Ms. Infantino
10. Sing and dance for one FULL minute to "Bye Bye Bye" by N'SYNC - Mr. Cohen

The Roadblocks were just random tasks around the school. They had to use a picture cell phone and take pictures of themselves completing the tasks. For each roadblock completed, they got two minutes taken off their total time.

It was AWESOME! One of the best days of my teaching career. I worked hard organizing it, and the students had a blast. The fastest team finished in about 41 minutes, so they worked fast!

1st Period Winners - THE FANNY PACK

2nd Period Winners - THE CROWN JEWELS

I watched you on Jimmy Kimmel...and still, WTF Jason? (By Jenn)

My sister thought that after Jimmy Kimmel, she didn't hate Jason as much anymore. He tried to explain that Melissa and him had pretty much broken up and she wasn't wearing her engagement ring and whatnot. He also said that he and Molly hadn't even started talking about marriage yet. Jimmy just laughed at him. Whatever. I read an article today about how the Internet does not have very nice things to say to Jason, and I had to put it on here:

Here's just a small sampling of what fans had to say in Television Without Pity's forums immediately following the three-hour finale. Jason, pray that your adorable little son Ty doesn't know how to use the Internet, because there's plenty more where this came from:

"Molly, you’re next. I give it a few months before he just has to follow his heart again (a.k.a. dump you)." – goddessrin

"It was all appalling on some level--was it necessary to do all this on the air--but I actually groaned, 'Oh, Molly,' when she started making out with him. Bad enough the way the whole thing played out, but to start with the face-sucking at that point?" – Kmax

"Melissa showed a lot of class." – 007Girl

"That was the biggest vat of Velveeta I've ever seen." – TooMuchFreeTime

"Am I the only one thinking that was totally fake? I had friends arguing with me on how real it is." – Laurie4H

"Jason is such a pig. Changing your heart is one thing, doing it on national television is another. AND hooking up with a girl within an hour of dumping your fiancée . UGH. I wish him much unhappiness." – Wrong Heaven

"I have never thought this before about her, but tonight I realized Molly is an actress. Her confused look when Jason told her he wants her back and everything after that was right out of a soap opera." – Carus

"I thought Melissa handled the whole thing great. She kept her dignity while also expressing what a bastard Jason is." – agockows

"Jason had every right to change his mind, but breaking it off in front of the cameras is a new low. Molly, congrats, honey. You 'won.' I think it'll become really clear really soon just what a 'prize' he isn't." – Mamabisi

"Molly is just a poor example of what unfortunately many girls have become these days. A boy does all the wrong things to someone else but maybe I can change him so I'm going to take him back because hey, I'M MOLLY and no guy walks away from me. Well, he did walk away from you and who's to say in six weeks he won't be backing up to call Jillian?" – nymetsgirl22

"Jason's 15 minutes for me expired about two hours ago. He's a loser. Molly's a fool for agreeing to anything other than a cup of coffee for old time's sake. There's no future in that relationship because, really, the guy can't tell the truth unless it's dragged out of him and that will destroy any relationship he's in." – becca656

"And total ewwwwwww when they started making out at the end. Yeah, Melissa's body wasn't even cold yet and they were pawing each other." – weezer95

This one is MY FAVORITE:

"Jason, you have seriously underestimated how people will react to what you did just now but I suspect you'll find out quickly enough. Good luck, Molly! Oh, one other thing - consider this: Melissa will move on and find a decent guy who will treat her right. Meanwhile, every time you and Jason have problems or get into a fight, you'll be left wondering if his silence means he's thinking about how he made a mistake with you and regretting letting Melissa go." – The Closer

"As the single mom of 2 girls, who is getting back into dating after a divorce, it makes me SICK that he would bring Melissa into Ty's life for 6 weeks, including holidays, and then yank her out and bring Molly in. He didn't mention Ty ONCE tonight." – brgrayduck

"Jason needs therapy before he commits to anyone else. He's clearly very needy and confused, and should probably not be getting engaged to anyone at this point. I think he has maturity issues too." – DebbieM

"Jason is such a jerk. How could he immediately go from breaking off his engagement with Melissa to kissing Molly mere minutes after? And no tears for Melissa, the woman he was just engaged to, while he had this huge emotional reaction after he rejected Molly?" – Coco79

"I honestly could not believe my eyes, watching that circus. I mean...do people have NO shame? To have these kinds of personal things televised? What have we come to? On the one hand, great drama to watch...on the other, I feel dirty for even participating." – PetuniaP

"I hope Jason's ex-wife is out hiring a lawyer to try to get full custody of Ty." – Whataconcept

"Wow, that was good television. I was genuinely surprised. I had the same freeze frame, deer in headlights look that Molly had." -- TrebledTimes

WTF Jason Mesnick? (by Jenn)

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't watched the Final Bachelor, don't read this.

WTF Jason? I like both Melissa and Molly, but come on.

Also, come on Molly. Jason dumps his FIANCE on TV, and you just go running back to him? Get a grip and an ounce of dignity.
