And then there were six …

February 8, 2011 by Kristin Leave a Comment

My commentary while watching last night’s episode of “The Bachelor” …

Costa Rica! Much more magical than Las Vegas.

Michelle: Yes, if Brad is more interested in Chantal than you, then you aren’t his girl. Duh. And I doubt she gets attacked by apes, or monkeys. And, really, I’m not sure how the rain can be creepy.

Um, Michelle called Chantal “aggressive.” Pot. Kettle. Black.

I want to zipline there. And I want to rappel down a waterfall.

Really, Michelle? If Jackie is dramatic, then I’m not even sure what the word is for you. Again. Pot. Kettle. Black. Oh dear, then Michelle gets to rappel down the waterfall with Brad. She doesn’t deserve that extra special treatment.

The girls are just “starting to bother” Michelle. Seems like they have been bothering her since Day One.

Even Brad rolled his eyes at Michelle. Of course, then he kissed her.

Alli seems like a nice girl. But I wasn’t surprised Brad sent her home. He’s not there to make a new best friend that isn’t his wife.

So much for Brad’s emotional down time. Michelle showed up uninvited. Brad nailed it when he said she’s the biggest contributor to his feeling pulled in different directions. Yet he gave her a rose anyway.

Alright, enough about Michelle. There are other girls still around …

Emily. “She’s worth the fight.” Good call, Brad.

Chantal. I go back and forth about what I think of her, but I loved their rainy zipline date. Although I do think her “I love you” to Brad at the cocktail party was a little premature.

Britt. I want her to have a chance.

Ashley. I’m okay with her going home soon and I was relieved her airtime was limited tonight.

Shawntel. I like her more and more all of the time.

Six left. Who do you want Brad to love?

  1. Life as I know it says

    I read this blog and took notes. 🙂

    Michelle's "creepy rain" was a backfire and I'm not sure how she thought the rain would ruin their date. Quite the contrary.

    I'm surprised there hasn't been more cat fights with Michelle. Pillow over mouth, anyone?

    Alli was friend material only for Brad. Their dinner date was awkward for me, though I felt no chemistry from the very beginning.

    He did not want to give Michelle that rose! He hesitated and looked incredibly pained. I'm surprised he didn't take a time out to call Jamie.

    Emily IS worth the fight!!

    Chantal did not look good at the cocktail party. I admire her for being forthcoming, but it might work against her next week. Although he did say it made his night.

    Britt looked like a fairy lats night.

    Ashley doesn't really exist in my mind. She seems manipulative in a less obnoxious way from Michelle. She also strikes me as a little fake.

    Shawntel is my second favorite after Emily. She makes me laught and I think she really puts him at ease.

So many of my Facebook friends shared lovely pictu So many of my Facebook friends shared lovely pictures of their daughters yesterday for the completely made-up National Daughters Day. Regardless, today I'm all in my feelings about my daughters. 

They're 16 and 8 right now. Both of their classes have been studying ancient Egypt and had a joint feast today. Sweet, huh? 

BUT THEN TIMEHOP GOT ME! Apparently, NINE years ago today, when Cate was a second-grader, her class had an Egyptian feast. I think about a particular picture of Cate and her friend Kilee from that day AND THEN IT CAME UP IN MY TIMEHOP TODAY. Facebook also told me that same day nine years ago, Monica and I became Facebook friends. We probably were at the Egyptian feast and decided we'd be friends because our girls were friends. Y'all, God has been so good to me through my friendship with Monica. Our families click in a special way with our three sets of same-aged kids, most of whom have been adopted. 

Anyway, my daughters. They're lovely, funny, and smart. I love that Cate helped Rachel with her Egyptian eye makeup this morning and made her a Nutella and banana sandwich. I love that they got to have a party today at school together. I love that even though they're eight years apart, they're sisters. 

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. 💛

I was thankful for some rest time on the couch on I was thankful for some rest time on the couch on Saturday afternoon — and a chance to finish this suspense book. 

“Between Two Strangers” by @katewhite_author had such an intriguing plot that pulled me right in. I was close to figuring out how it was all intertwined, but I didn’t quite get there through all the twists. Good, quick read!

You’re a light wherever you go! And you like to You’re a light wherever you go! And you like to go! You’re always making friends, asking about our next adventure, wanting to know what’s next, and talking if you’re not singing. You’re the joy our family needed in 2015 and you continue to be the one who makes us laugh and love better than we did before we knew you. 

... You ask a million questions, know the words to thousands of songs, have so many ideas, and still try to sneak into my bed at night. You say I’m the best snuggler in this family. I’ll take it – and your hugs and love, although the middle of the night will never be my favorite time. 

Happy birthday to the girl who loves loudly!
