OMG! Did you watch the Bachelorette last night? I cannot BELIEVE that she got rid of Jeremy. I mean I kind of get it…sort of. But I thought that her connection with Jeremy was way stronger than the one with Jesse. But I guess I was horribly, awfully, terribly wrong.  I’m OK with that though because on the recap show she says she is happy and engaged. Good for her! I just don’t think that Jesse is ready for marriage. But I was so off base with Jeremy, I could be wrong again. The finale is next week, so we won’t have to wait too much longer to find out who she picks. But I still stick with my theory. She will pick Jason if she sticks with the rules. If she wants to stir it up she will say that she made a huge mistake when she got rid of Graham and pick him instead. Who knows. This show toys with my brain so much and I never saw it coming. A few weeks ago I was over at Mary’s and we sat down and watched it and I’ve been hooked ever since. Like so hooked I even CRIED last night. I never used to cry at TV shows, but I apparently have this connection thing with people thing going now and I cry and TV shows and movies and everything.

Tonight I might cry again but because Wipeout is on and the people bouncing off of those big red balls is so freaking funny to me. Oh, and happy birthday to the great Missy Elliott. She’s 37 today and still my hero.. If I had the talent to pursue my dream of being a real rapper, I would try and “collaborate” with Missy. She’s like one of a handful of celebs I’ve not met but would love to. But I would probably freeze up and not be able to talk. So maybe I shouldn’t meet her. I don’t know. If she was anything less than so nice I would be heartbroken. That’s why I would never want to actually meet a few people. Like what if Natalie Maines was a total B? I would be devastated. I have stood behind her through all their mess, so if she didn’t like run to me and hug me, I’d be so sad. I’m sure I would still love her, but my whole vision of the band would be ruined forever. And I am that loser who named my dog Cowboy after “Cowboy Take Me Away.” Would she care? I doubt it. And why should she? I’m just another fan who would bother her and swoon about how much I love their CD’s. I probably should continue to be the socially awkward person in the room who can’t get the gall to approach a celebrity or their manager except to tell them not to cuss while they’re on the show.

Only 36 more breaks and vacation starts. Am I loser for having been doing a countdown since like 187 breaks? I know that’s probably more proof of my being an OCD loser, but whatever. If you couldn’t get your lazy butt out of bed to save your life you’d be counting down the breaks until vacation, too. But I know that the show going on vacation makes a lot of people mad, so I will shut up about it now and not acknowledge it again until tomorrow morning. When it will be 24 breaks. Yay that!

My new nervous habit is biting and picking at the skin on my fingers until they bleed or get unbearably sore. I had to stop typing this blog to walk back and get a band aid because my thumb is bleeding. That’s so gross. I used to be a nail biter, but I stopped that. Now I’m doing it again, but just during the show. I need to get a stupid little stress ball or something before my fingers are skinless. Anyway, I will shut up period now. I gotta get ready for big, big things on the show.
