Life According to My Phone

Wow. I officially give life permission to slow down a little right about now. Or at least give me a break. This past week has definitely had its ups and downs. There have been a few occasions where I have come home ranting and raving about one thing or another ... and it always happens to be about the same two things. Good thing I have a great husband who just listens, or laughs at me because I'm being ridiculous, and then helps me remember what is really important in my life.

Anyway, here is my life lately according to my phone.

Scotty turned the Big 3-0 recently. He sure robbed the cradle marrying me ... Ha. Except I'm turning 28 soon. Ugh. I wish we didn't have to work so we could celebrate all day. I mean 30 is a big year, ya know. But alas, it was pretty low key. We met up with some family and went to Cheesecake for dinner, and may have consumed way too much dessert. And I was pretty proud of my craft project I made for him as part of his birthday present.

Utah has been having some pretty crazy weather lately. But beautiful nonetheless. I mean those colors. Awesome. I love fall!

We're slowly but surely getting settled into our new house. I am loving it. Our entire house looked like our kitchen above the first couple days after we moved, but I am hopefully going to (and finally) put things on the walls this week. These prints are going in our half bath. I am obsessed with it.

I don't know why, but I have been super tired lately. I won't tell you how many hours of sleep I got on Saturday night. Way more than any normal person should. But I am loving the fact that I can now snuggle under my covers in my bed and watch a movie.

So I stole this pic ... This past week I have been living vicariously through my sister, who is in NYC. She and her cute friends have been living it up. Being fashion week they had several run-ins with celebrities. Recognize these two?

I don't know why but I love gushers. Weird? Perhaps.

My husband let me go get a pedicure before we headed to the football game on Saturday. I felt so much better afterwards. I went to a new place (since we've moved) and was pretty impressed with them.

Yes that was all pretty random, but a lot has happened.

{ bachelorette recap }

Because I KNOW you watched it too
here are my super random thoughts
from this past episode:


1. Jillian should have kept Reid. I mean any normal guy (or girl even) would have a hard time expressing his feelings after like 5 dates too. Give him a break. Sheesh.

2. Jillian just doesn't know what she wants. She is easily persuaded in the moment.

3. So glad Reid FINALLY got his much needed hair cut. Lookin' good. Too bad it was when he was being kicked off.

4. Um, Ed, really the green shorts? Sick. I think he might have better legs than me, but I sure didn't want to see that on national TV. And don't cross your legs.

5. I would marry Kipton or Reid in a heartbeat. Fine. Fine. OK. We'd have to work on a couple MINOR details first!

6. And what was Ed wearing at the rose ceremony? Seriously? He looked like an old man who lives in Florida. Weird sense of style. Refer to number 4.

7. I think the Chris interview parts might be my favorite. He always has a smirk on his face. Seems totally disinterested in the situation and I think he thinks it's funny.

8. I still think she is going to choose Ed, unfortunately. And I predict Kipton will be the next Bachelor.

9. Loved the ropes course part. Did anyone else notice the wink at the top of the leap of faith? Number 5 may or may not is a result of it.

10. Is Reid coming back next episode?! I wouldn't put it past ABC.

OK I'm done.

{ i admit it }

OK OK. Fine. Alright?

I'll admit it. I am addicted to The Bachelorette.

Go ahead judge me. I judge myself.

This confession might come as a surprise to some. Probably not for most. For the past few weeks, and let's be honest here over the past several years, my Mondays have revolved around this addiction. But as much as my mom teases me I stick to my response to her... I've got to live vicariously through someone else who is ACTUALLY getting attention from the male gender.

Plus, though it may not be quality entertainment, it is entertainment nonetheless and I love watching the cheesy drama unfold.


For those of you avid viewers (and those who are still in denial)

Here is my take:

I am a Jillian fan. I wish I could have her wardrobe ... but that's besides the point. I'm losing faith in the girl. Is she crazy for getting rid of Jessie and keeping Wes? Though Jesse's family was a little hippy for me I was rooting for him. Can we say hello creepster to Wes all around? And I totally called Ed coming back. Sad about Michael too. He is hilarious and a good guy. Not a good fit. I like Reid, but I think Ed and Kypton will be the final two and ultimately she will now pick Ed. We'll see if I'm right.

Look at me being so analytical when I have yet to be successful...hmm. Maybe I should be the next bachelorette? Yeah right. In any case don't bother trying to get a hold of me for the next few Monday evenings. I'll mysteriously continue to be unavailable.
