The Bachelorette Episode 2

Episode Two

Vegas Baby!!!! This week Ashley stays in Vegas and those lucky few who get a date get to fly out to join her!

First up is William.. the cell phone salesman (I can't help but giggle..).. lucky him for getting the first one on one date. ALL the guys are jealous.. Ashley picks him up in a really nice car and they head to the airport where they hop on a private jet bound for Vegas.  Ashley is getting the celebrity treatment since this is the most talked about season of The Bachelorette EVER!  Their date consists of everything an almost-happily wedded couple gets to do...cake testing, ring shopping..and finally.. the wedding chapel!! William passes the test of being a good sport and says "I do" in front of the minister!! Of course, Ashley isn't ready for a legally binded union and instead they kiss and head out for who knows what else.  Later on in the evening....the lucky pair gets to dine out on an island in the Bellagio Fountains.. ABC must have paid big bucks to be able to do that.  William talks about his father passing away and they have a connection..then the fountains go off.  Very surreal! (He gets the rose)

Onto the group date.. Constantine, Ryan M, Chris, Ben F, Nick, Bentley, West, Lucas, Stephen, Blake, Matt and Ames head off to Vegas for the group date and are stunned to learn they are to be seperated into two groups and challenged to a "dance off."  The lucky half dozen who win will get to stay and perform in that evening's Jabowackeez show.  The other six get shipped back off to LA (flying Southwest no less..poor guys).  At a cocktail party after the show, West reveals his wife's death during his one on one time with Ashley and Bentley tells us at home that Ashley isn't his type but acts completely differently with her.  He ends up with the rose from the group date.

Love is a gamble so now it's up to a coin toss between Mickey & JP to see who gets the next one on one date in Vegas with Ashley.  Mickey (the hottie) wins and off he goes.. the coin flips go into the whole date determining everything they do.  He shares with Ashley how his mother had passed away.  He ends up with the rose as well.

At the Rose Ceremony, JP steals Ashley away right from the get-go to flip a (doublesided) coin to get a kiss..Nick's one on one time is spent teaching Ashley how to line dance and is quickly interrupted by William (who already has a rose), which puts an instant target on his back. The guys are now calling him "Ding-Dong"..hehe :)  "Zorro" (Jeff)((who has been wearing his mask for a week now..even in the house which the guys hate)) sits down with Ashley and shares with her how he had a brain hemmorage and nearly lost his life..He is five seconds away from taking his mask off when he gets interrupted by Matt.  Bentley (who continues telling us one on one that he doesn't like Ashley and is only in it for the competition) carries Ashley to the fireplace and they have a little make out session (which he says is boring). Ashley tells us one on one that she has a keen eye for geninue people.  Hey Ashley, your radar is off honey.

These are the guys who made off with a rose:

Ames
Ben C
Ben F
Bentley
Blake
Chris
Constantine
J.P.
Jeff
Lucas
Mickey
Nick
Ryan P
West
William
That means Stephen, Matt and Ryan M are out. 

Until next time.. ~Kacy

The Bachelorette!!! Episode 1

Yes, I am delayed by a week.  :) But I'm here now.. :) Ashley has a great set of guys (except for one, but we'll get to him later).. I'm going to try to compound Episode 1 and Episode 2 into the same blog post.  Ashley looks GREAT.. love the new hair color and she appears that she's lost some weight.  Also, she's gained a stylist (thank goodness) so her clothes are TDF (to die for)........ :)

Episode One
Ashley starts the episode sitting down with Chris Harrison and spilling to him that a "friend" of hers (who later turns out to be Michelle Money from last season's The Bachelor) let her know about a guy named Bentley who is there for the wrong reasons.  She tells Chris that she is going into that relationship with her guard up and "hopes he isn't that cute"..Let's go in order of who gets out of the limo..

Ryan P - a solar energy exec from California..he's a dead ringer for Matthew Morrison (Will Scheuester) from Glee..super cute..super sweet. *like!* (he stays) (GETS THE FIRST IMPRESSION ROSE)

JP - construction guy from New York.. kinda cute.. (he stays)

Ames - likes to travel, kinda looks like a hobbit to me.  (he stays) ((he gave Ashley ballet tickets because she loves to dance))

Ben C. - attorney from New Orleans, LA.. cute.. (he stays)

Benjamin - winemaker from Cali..brings Ashley a bottle of wine for them to share.. sweet..(he stays)

Bentley - divorced Dad from Utah that Ashley was warned about..she of course thinks he's cute..(he unfortuntely stays) ((he also tells us at home he had hoped the Bachelorette would be Emily...))

Anthony - butcher from New Jersey (goes home)

West - attorney from North Carolina.... was previously married for 9 months before his wife was found dead in a bathtub..very sad..he's cute..very sweet (he stays) ((he gave Ashley a broken compass stuck on west to remember him by...cute!))

William - from Ohio, has bad dating history (looks like the guy who played Reese Witherspoon's ex on Sweet Home Alabama) ((he stays))

Jon - from Vancouver..sweeps Ashley off her feet.. (goes home)

Mickey - a chef from Rochester, NY..tries to give Ashley a kiss..he misses of course...but he is ALL KINDS OF CUTE!! (he stays)

Tim - a liquor distributor from NY, he got drunk at the first cocktail party and had to be poured into a limo and taken back to the hotel.. (of course goes home)

Chris D. - sports marketing coordinator from IL (he stays)

Rob - from Michigan.. tells her he doesn't have any crowns in his teeth (he goes home)

Matt - office supply salesman from Maine, he does a handshake with her.. during his one/one time with Ashley he calls his Mom, who gives them advice about the fantasy sweet lol(stays)

Jeff - the masked man (aka Zorro), he decides he wants Ashley to get to know him for his personality and not his looks..so far it's working for him because he stays.. The guys don't care for him though.

Constantine - restaurant owner... ties a string of pink dental floss to Ashley's finger so she'll remember to talk to him later.. (stays)

Stephen - the California hair stylist.. has long (obviously flat ironed) hair.. (stays)


See my next post for Episode Two!! :)

Spring has Sprung..! :)

So this whole blogging daily thing hasn't quite been working out for me..I keep forgetting to be quite honest.  And also, I get the sense that I only have about 2 readers.. my Mom..and maybe one friend.  I still don't think my husband knows I even have a blog.  That could turn out to be a good thing.. :)

So lets play catch up.. The Bachelorette premieres on May 23rd.. there WILL be updates weekly, trust me.  Maybe not as detailed as The Bachelor posts were.. :) Plus I'm looking forward to it, hope to be watching it every week with a friend over cheese & wine.  Friends & wine tend to make anything more fun. :)

Spring is in the air..the weather is nice.. the grass is growing..and my husband was stuck working 6 days a week 2 days in a row.  So I mowed the yard.. that was an experience.  Maybe if I mowed/weedeated our small yard every single day I'd soon look like a supermodel. Yeah, that isn't happening. :)

Okay I have to plug another blog here.. I have become absolutely addicted to this blog..I follow her on Twitter & on Facebook..she has an amazing and funny personality plus she has the inside scoop to all that is fashion!! Especially on all my favorite shows!! Check out The Possessionista and you will see why I just adore her.  :)

Okay I've run out of brain power so I must run.. hope my 2 readers enjoyed my short post.. :)

Love & huggles...KC

Steve Madden "Grooom"

Normally I'm not a "flat sandal" kind of girl..but these are the CUTEST sandals I think I've ever set my eyes on!!! So cute that my local Dillards is OUT of them.  How dare they? So I am on the hunt for them...if you find them anywhere..tell me!! Please!!!! :)

Slacker..! :)

O M G...
Has it really been over a month since I've posted?? I guess since The Bachelor picked Emily & we watched Leah & Corey get married on the season finale of Teen Mom 2, I don't have much to talk about!! But that surely doesn't mean I'm not watching anything.. are you crrrazy?! :)

My shows right now:

Body of Proof - starring Dana Delaney, the former crazy lady from another fave of mine, Desperate Housewives. I love her character here....especially since I'm a CSI Fan (all the medical mumbo-jumbo and solving crimes).  Tune in on Tuesdays on ABC at 9 pm central..

The Good Wife - another one on Tuesday (my DVR is smoking on Tuesdays), I wasn't sure this one would really last when it started last year but its a fave.. we get to see a different case each week while also watching the main character Alicia Florrick deal with her husband's (Sex & The City's Chris Noth, another reason for loving the show) infedelities and what-nots.. stay tuned, it's starting to get juicy.

Dancing With The Stars - now usually I start strong at the beginning of every season and then slowly slack off on watching..but its the 3rd week and I'm still hanging on.  Especially since Kirstie & Maksim fell last night.. and she still got 8's from the judges.  I like Kirstie..but I like Ralph and Romeo more......


And a short update on life: I just signed up to sell Pampered Chef!!! I am nearly the end of my first 30 days and am trying to reach my goal of $1250 in sales.. I'm very close!! :)

Monday Musings..on a Tuesday.

So I have been in a bad mood lately. I am not really sure why.  Don't really have much motivation to clean house but still do it anyway. It isn't my house's fault I'm cranky.  It is just a fact of life.  Am I supposed to have a reason? I didn't think so.

You all must know that I strive to live a drama free life.  I don't like drama, don't like hearing of other people's drama, don't like drama of my own.  The only drama I do like is fiction and it comes from books, movies or television.  With that being said, if you have any drama to cause, please leave my name out of it.  It gets old being brought into crap I prefer to stay out of.  If all else fails, I will ship my family (me, hubby, dogs) off to a deserted island and only communiate via smoke signal.  The way I see it, I am 27 years old and am not in high school anymore.  All the petty childish crap remains in the walls of high school, not out in the open world of adulthood.  This is just my opinion and since it's my blog, I get to express my opinion.  If ya don't like it, click the 'x' at the top right hand corner of the screen..

Back to the housework..most who know me and have been in my home know I am a lazy housekeeper.  I'd rather come home and park it in front of the TV than spend my freetime sweeping and moping and dusting and yada yada yada.  I discovered a website about 2 years ago that is slowly changing my approach on housework.  Granted, 2 years ago it didn't work, a year ago it didn't work, NOW it works.  It only works when actually applied.  Flylady is the name of it and Flylady is an actual person believe it or not. She encourages instilling daily habits and doing all your housework Monday-Friday and spending time with family on the weekends.  This sounds good to me since most of my weekends are filled with social events.  Flylady also encourages doing laundry on a daily basis and setting a timer for 15 minutes and seeing what you can accomplish.  Seriously, it is amazing what you can accomplish in 15 minutes.  Anything you can do to eliminate CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome), which is something that has been in my entire adult life.  Check out the website, even if you are a neat freak you will find ideas and things you can follow. I have started becoming OCD and germaphobic about cleaning!  Flylady's Website

Speaking of TV.. OMGosh one of my FAVORITE shows is coming back! Army Wives on Lifetime! I LOVE this show!!! Check out the premier of Season 5 this Sunday at 9/8 pm Central! :)

Guess this is all for now.. hope everyone has a great 1st week of March! :)

Playing catchup on my days..

Okay so I am running behind.  I am human, so sue me.

Day 4- A picture of your night ~ I'm not exactly sure what this means so I'm going to pass on this one..

Day 5- A picture of your favorite memory

Me, Kim & Nikki

My favorite memory comes from when I was 15 years old and I went to Memphis, TN to meet and spend the week with my sister, Kim, whom I had never met. It's quite a complicated story and would love to tell it face to face. :)

Day 6-A picture of the person you would like to trade places with for a day

Carrie Underwood

I just love her, she is so stinkin' talented it is unreal! I would love to vocally be her!!! Plus it would be kinda cool to attempt being her for a day. She seems to sweet and down to earth and not at all sucked in by Hollywood.  I mean Nashville.

Day 7- A picture of your most treasured item

This would have to be my wedding ring! Only because it means so much to me and is a daily reminder of the vows I shared with the man I love! :)

Day 8- A picture that makes you laugh
