Current obsessions: cutoffs, #BachelorinParadise & Lemons

You know I hate it when people say “I’m obsessed” but here I am, doing exactly that.

Here are a few things currently occupying my thoughts.

What happened to my awesome old cutoffs?

I had two pairs I loved. Perfect for knocking around the neighborhood on hot summer days. But both are gone. Just gone. I suspect my mother of junking them at some point.

Twitter Spotlight: Kristen Baldwin

Kristen Baldwin and I connected on Twitter over – what else – our mutual enjoyment of TV. Yeah, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette included.

Her excuse is that she’s Editor-in-Chief of Yahoo TV (after an impressive nineteen-year run at Entertainment Weekly).

Me? I have no excuse. Let me just sit here for a minute imagining what it’s like to get paid to watch TV.

Don’t miss Kristen’s answer to the question about a new question. It’s terrific. Continue reading

Marquel for Bachelor

By now, 99% of you Bachelorette viewers know that Marquel was one of three guys sent home by that lunatic Andi on the most recent episode.

I crossed out the lunatic part but between Marquel and Eric, I have real questions about her judgment. Although maybe she and I should be friends: we would never fight over men. Continue reading

Monday reads + May is kind of the worst month ever (for me)

So far, May has packed a wallop between my foot, Dad being in the hospital, packing to move and now, strep throat*. Ugh.

The only thing that is keeping me going right now is my upcoming vacation. I really need it.

Here are some other things holding my attention right now: Continue reading

What’s your favorite tweet that went largely unnoticed?

It’s hard to guess what makes people react to your tweets. What makes them mark it as a favorite or retweet or reply “that’s funny.”

For example, I thought this was amusing.

But some of you liked this one a lot better.

I still don’t get it. But I’m glad you tolerate me, particularly on Bachelorette nights.

I have a new chiropractor

That’s exciting, right?

Fortunately he has not put anything up my nose like Chris’ dad on The Bachelorette.

My experience with chiropractic care has been nothing but good. During my dancing years, I went more regularly.

Now I just hope to keep my back and neck feeling good. Maintenance for aches and pains that come from sitting at a desk most days, business travel and the like.

No endonasal cranial adjustments for me though, please.

Twitter Spotlight: Robert Mills

In honor of the premiere of Desiree Hartsock’s turn as The Bachelorette, I am breaking all of the Twitter Spotlight rules and posting on a Monday.

I have a great subject this time too: ABC bigwig Robert Mills agreed to answer my probing questions. On Twitter, he’s better known as @Millsy11374 and yes, that’s a pic of Millsy riding the same elephant.

It’s coming: The return of Bachelorette on ABC. Desiree‘s season premieres as on May 27.

Some of you love it, some of you don’t so I’m sorry in advance. There will be a lot of Bachelorette tweeting and posting during these next few weeks.

In anticipation of the new season, I wanted to feature college student Ashley Elgin aka @BachelorExpert in the Twitter Spotlight.
