"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."

Life post grad: Awesome! At least for this week. I was so tired from the last week of school I decided to take a me week. I haven’t felt this relaxed since before Kindergarten.
This has been my week:
Sunday: Wine tasting
Monday: Clean everything
Tuesday: I don’t remember
Wednesday: City with Cass (we ate cheesecake for dinner)
Thursday: Strip cup “camping” night at 404
Friday: Shopping/ Mani&Pedi/Eating
Saturday: Tanning in the backyard with Cass all day
Blake, Andrew, Me, Anthony, Jake
"Camping" night AKA sleepover
"Camping" night AKA sleepover
It’s a beautiful thing! I miss my friends already but it didn’t take long for me to realize that this everyone moving on with life thing is actually going to happen whether I want it to or not. Literally within a week of graduation everyone I know has a new job, a new place to live and before I know it they will probably be married and with child. I hope that last part isn’t the case yet, but who knows!!! I have decided to go home for three weeks to continue this relaxing adventure. It’s a lot hard than you’d think. I’m running out of things to do so I started reading a book...I haven’t done that for fun in years. Real life is going to start for me in July. Can I do that? Well I am. I can’t wait to start my road trip to Palm Springs on Monday. I’ll post pics this week.
XOXO

MUST SEE!
Cassidy and I have been watching episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City. What I thought would be a regular, boring reality TV show turned out to be one of the most hilarious shows ever. These women are crazy! Not like...weird, rich women crazy, but actually psycho fifty year old women with no purpose. We are either laughing so hard our stomachs are hurting or watching in awe with our jaws open. Please watch season 6 if you have a few summer hours to kill.

Side by side comparisons!
I was watching The Bachelorette last night and I couldn't help but think that some of the bachelors looked like actors from my favorite movies and reality TV shows. I hope you watch and can make your own!
Here they are:
Casey and the creepy guy form Charlie's Angels:
Justin and the Jersey Shore crew:
Derek and Derek, the crazy brother from Step Brothers:
Phil and Edward Cullen, or any vampire living in Forks:
Craig and Robert Downey Jr. :
Frank and Todd, the creepy brother from Wedding Crashers:
John and the shark from Finding Nemo:
Countdown: 2 days

Cristina Kinon 'The Bachelorette' 2010: Former 'Bachelor' contestant Ali Fedotowsky gives out 17 roses on premiere
This show is full of laughs!!!
Before we get started with this recap of Monday night's "Bachelorette" premiere, featuring former Facebook employee Ali Fedotowsky, let's all make sure we're on the same page as the producers.
Career gal = baaaaad.
Woman desperate enough to find love that she'd go on a reality television show that will provide 25 (questionably) single guys, some of whom are guaranteed to humiliate her = SUPERSTAR!
Right, though? How many times did they have to make her re-iterate, over and over and over again, that she made the wrong choice with Jake Pavelka? That she should have stayed and sacrificed her entire career for just the chance of love, and because she didn't, she was punished with sad feelings. But now that she's accepted Chris Harrison as her Lord and Savior, she will be happy again, because jobs are for the weak and hair extensions are for the loved!
Moving on with her new perspective on love and new hair, Ali was ready to meet her men. But first, she had to play soccer by herself, try on a bunch of outfits in a wacky dressing room montage, walk on the beach and look pensive, then run into the ocean and splash around. I could practically hear the producer's voice in my head. "OK, now run over there! Now get in the water! Splash around! It's cold, so cold! Look cold! OK, now look at me, over your shoulder, and think about your dead grandmother! You miss her so much! Look sad!" Ali complied, because she's doing it for love.
Love of these fellas! Here's the rundown of some of the most notable dudes vying for Ali's heart:
Frank from Chicago: He says he used to be in mergers and acquisitions and owned a condo, but it wasn't making him happy, so now he lives at home with his parents and is an aspiring screenwriter. But his onscreen identifier says "Retail Manager," so do with that what you will. He was a fan of Ali on "The Bachelor." He exited the limo through the sunroof.
Craig M. from Toronto: Has deemed Ali worthy of him giving up the single life in Canada. Hair 1000%. Made a Vienna joke right off the bat.
Kyle from Colorado: His career is listed as "Outdoorsman." How much does that pay? Kyle also says he's not afraid of competing against 25 guys because, "I mean, I've killed a bear."
Justin, aka Mr. Rated R: He's a pro wrestler with a broken ankle and an adorable grandmother. All the other dudes think he's on the show for "THE WRONG REASONS" (to advance his career).
Jonathan: Weatherman. Uses weather puns.
Ty: Recently divorced, as in "a few months" recently. And inappropriately.
Chris L.: Former school teacher, mother recently passed away -- a fact he actively hides from Ali when she asks if his parents are still together (he said yes). I guess I can understand if he doesn't want a pity rose, but that's going to be an awkward conversation later. Anyway, he's ATTRACTIVE.
Roberto: Token ethnic dude (well, as ethnic as they get on "The Bachelorette"). He speaks Spanish and salsa dances.
Derrick: Tells himself "You're amazing" in the mirror, tells other human beings the story about how he got the nickname "Shooter" in college (more on this in a few).
John C.: Hm, all I wrote was, "yikes." That can't be good.
Kasey: Made a very sincere speech about protecting Ali's heart immediately upon their introduction. Too much, too soon?
Tyler M.: Wore cowboy boots with his suit because he was under the impression that Ali also wore cowboy boots when she got out of the limo on the Bachelor. He was, however, mistaken.
Jason: Back-flip off the roof of the limo.
Once inside the mansion, the guys accosted Ali. The first impression rose was up for grabs. Hunter played the ukelele and sang a little song introducing himself. It was cute. Derrick, or Shooter, told the story of how he received his nickname, and from what I inferred, it had to do with premature ejaculation. Ali's appropriate reaction? "What the f---?" Roberto and Ali danced. Kyle threatened to eat the first impression rose.
Harrison brought out a box for the guys to fill with their picks for the top 3 most insincere among them. Or, in other words, the men who weren't here "FOR THE RIGHT REASONS" (my fiance started counting how many times the phrase "for the right reasons" was uttered but stopped around eight). The guys were pumped, thinking whoever they voted for would automatically go home, but clearly they've never seen this show.
Everyone voted for Justin, who was "floored" by their apparent dislike for him, but Ali kept him around anyhow, giving him a rose. She also gave the first impression rose to Roberto.
That left 15 more roses to hand out, and they went to Jesse (from Peculiar, Missouri), Ty, Craig R. (forgettable), Tyler B., Steve (?), Chris L., Kirk (scrapbooker), John C. (fake proposed for alone time with a cubic zirconium), Chris N. (too many Chrises), Chris H. (too many Chrises), Hunter, Craig M., Jonathan and Kasey.
The outdoorsman, the cowboy boots guy, the backflip guy and appropriately, Shooter, all took an early exit from the competition.
Scenes from the rest of the season looked dramatic! Lots of tears, lots of confrontation, and a phone call from one of the guys' girlfriends (as in current, not ex).
