HOW CAN YOU TAKE A MAN SERIOUSLY...

.....while he is wearing a turtleneck.

I am a self-proclaimed reality show junkie. Not as much as I used to be though. I have watched every season of The Bachelor. And there are a lot of great Bachelor re-caps each week on other blogs, but I could not pass up dishing on this week's Bachelor.

First of all I read somewhere that Vienna looks like Big Bird. Perfect! When asked what her expectations of marriage are she said she wanted to act like she was a 16 year old everyday and so in love. OK...let's get real. Not happening Vienna. Grow up sweetheart. You are pathetic in your current state.

When Tenley and Jake talk marriage expectations, I honestly can say that I was impressed. Tenley has been there/done that and really knows what to expect. I loved how she reminded us all to stop what we were doing at the end of the day when our spouse walks in the door from work and greet them with a hug and kiss. Let them know that we missed them. And Jake's response to what his expectations are for marriage. He says that he knows no marriage is perfect but that he does expect his wife to 'ALWAYS HAVE HIS BACK'. I loved this. I was ALMOST brought to tears when I thought of it....and then his turtleneck got in the way. Really....a turtleneck. I didn't even know they still made those for men.

My mom gave me really good advice one time. She told me that a husband and wife should never 'correct' each other in front of other people. If one has the story wrong, let them look like they have it right! Always have their back. So important in so many ways.

I'm off now for my daily G.T.L.S. Not a Jersey Shore Fan.....that stands for Gym, Tan, Laundry and I just added Sewing. Still at it trying to get the shop stocked. Except I don't tan. But the boys of Jersey Shore do....that was their daily motto. Makes me and Dave giggle every time we hear it. And have I mentioned here that Dave calls me 'Snickers' now? If you didn't watch Jersey Shores, some of the episodes are worth a little watch...if just for a good belly laugh on a re-run. Although you might not think it as funny as Dave and I do. It took us 5 times watching The Office to finally laugh out loud!
