Woaaaahhhh dude. Did Selma seriously announce her weight?!?!?! "All 110 pounds" of her. No.No.No. I don't give a fuck how big or small you are, laying out the digits (ESPECIALLY ON NATIONAL PRIME TIME TV) is forbidden. From the moment she said 110 all I could do was analyze the physique. Pretty big chest for 110. And not too toned. And once I heard 110 I thought perhaps Sean was smaller than I thought since she doesn't seem THAT small next to him. I really had high hopes for Selma but now I just don't like her. Yup, just for that one comment. Also, she seemed like a real wimp climbing up that cliff. Honestly for as many times as she said "fuck" while climbing, you woulda figured some producer would just pull all 110 pounds of her up the damn wall. Also, I'm not sure what I think about her conflicting cultural values. So she's perfectly willing to cast off her parents judgements about a reality show and dating but suddenly needs to stick to their beliefs when it comes to kissing. Interesting how she drew the line. And please, PLEASE stop using baby whisper voice with Sean. Can't.Stand.To.Listen.To.Muffled.Conversation.With.Recessed.Chins.And.Bad.Angles.
So the roller derby date was a bust. No shit right? Another bad date idea. Seriously need new producers here. I bet next season some douchebag exec tries to get the ladies to duke it out in a jello fight. Ugh. Ladies, hold your ground. On the bright side, it did make for some seriously hilarious moments with Amanda. I almost peed my pants when Sean was talking about Amanda saying, "She could have a broken jaw and I'm really concerned. She's hardly able to open her mouth". And I'll leave the rest of that up to you :-)
I found the date with Leslie rather boring. Sweet girl but wish she'd stop comparing herself to a prostitute (i.e. Pretty Woman). We get it. It's cute you got to shop on Rodeo Drive and borrow some loot for the night but two things if I may: 1)Actually watch that movie darlin'. It's a real Cinderella story that I'm not sure speaks real high of women. (yeah yeah ladies, I love the movie too but I don't exactly want to be Vivian Ward). 2) Don't let Sean choose your final dress. Didn't love it.
Speaking of dresses, I loved Robyn's. Very Kate Middleton. Who the hell is Daniella and Jackie? Tierra or as the girls call her "Tierrable" (SO FUNNY) is losing her mind. Hate her cutesy voice when she talks to Sean. Meds? Therapy? Not sure, but she needs some help. Not sure who I see going to the end at this point. They are all starting to show some not so pretty sides. Really excited for two nights of Bach next week.

The Bachelor 17- Freak Show
Sean Lowe just didn't do it for me in Emily's season so I was a bit perturbed, albeit depressed, he was chosen as lucky number 17. But something about him has just reeled me right back in. I feel like he finally got his coloring right. He's shaken off the albino look a bit and has an appropriate level of tanning at this point. I'd still like a bit darker eyebrow but considering his improved tone/build I think he's overall a go. I'd pretty much sworn off blogging on this season but shit there's just too much material. ABC just never ceases to disappoint (with the exception of that cosmetic prince Borghese dude, Ben of wine country aka #trainwreckhair, the middle aged fisherman with the girl he is frequently calling in domestic disputes, Jesse that sucky football player, that awful British dude who chose the skanky blonde whose dad is/was on soaps, and Aaron with the big nose). Otherwise, they are rather riveting.
So we're 3 episodes deep and a lot of crazy shit has gone down. We've had Ashley P. the pole dancer missing her pole, Sarah missing a limb, yoga teacher losing her zen, shitload of tears, head trauma and so much more. Holy crap that's eventful.
So far my favorite moments:
* Home girl unable to do her full handspring and eating shit upon meeting Sean (what was her name???)
* Kacie getting SHUT DOWN for complaining to Sean about girl drama. Finally, a bachelor not into stupid drama. Also couldn't help but laugh at her last dress. WTF was that? Did she come to the rose ceremony straight from roller derby practice? She seemed seriously over confident in her status as a "veteran" bachelorette. Damn shame.
* Tierra (or if you love missy elliot like I do then you are singing "My name is Cierra for all you fine fellas" every time I hear her name) falling down the stairs. Now I'm not that cruel. That sounded like it hurt like hell but your sort of boyfriend in hot pink calling EMS then trying to rub all up on you.... AWKWARD!
* Arie and Seans heart to heart talk before meeting the ladies. Whaaaat? Tell me grown men do not discuss how to kiss a woman with each other. For 'ril?!?!?! Seriously not enough wine in a bottle for me to watch manufactured crap like that.
* Beach volleyball game. Woah. Honestly that was depressing. How can they all be in such rockin' shape and seriously have zero athletic ability? Hard.to.watch. I was also really concerned about potential wardrobe malfunctions and found that to be rather distracting.
* World record for that kiss thing. Umm should ABC be alotted that much air time for an onscreen kiss? Wow, that's 3 minutes and 16 seconds of my life I will never have back. And Ashley described that as the best date of her life. Hmm perhaps she has NEVER dated.
So far I really like Desiree, AshLee F, Sarah and Selma. I still feel like there are a lot of girls that I have no idea who they are. Looking forward to a smaller group and more awkward moments.

Rezolutions 2.0
Dang this year went fast. One full week into 2013 ALREADY. Last year was my first time to really put my nose in the ground and pound out some resolutions that I felt markedly serious about. And I didn't do half back. Here's a quick review:
1. Learn about this f'ing technology that is passing me up like crazy cakes. I'm certainly not working for Geek Squad any time soon, but I think I've done A-ok. Im pretty comfy with the old iMac and have figured out that it's just as easy (and much more impressive) if I literally just google my current question/crisis of the moment. Then I like to show Ryan what I figured out all on my very OWN and reassure him that I would not return to a typewriter should he ever die (GOD FORBID!).
2. Basic photography. So I took a "getting to know my DSLR" camera class and learned that I needed to learn A LOT more. In the meantime, I've at least bought a groupon for a second course (still need to take it!!!) and have fallen hard onto relying on my favorite photographer, Sang, who thankfully is at all things Moody. And if you are considering stealing my friend, forget it. I found her first. And lastly, I finally upgraded the old iPhone and I have to say between the improved camera WITH a flash and Instagram, my little collection of photos is coming along.
3. Start a new blog. Well if you're still with me at this point, then you know this item has remained checked off the list. And it's soon to have some big changes...
4. Monthly run to Central Market. Ok I've dropped the ball on this one. Did well through about June. Then shit, I don't know what happened. I really should put this on the list again. Love this place, need to go more. Add to it, Trader Joes.
5. In the words of Dr. Phil, time to "get real" on the weight. And real I got. It took me the entire year to get it. I started with heading back to the gym and recording a food journal. Journal lasted a month or so. Gym is ongoing. I've learned to love it. I've made some friends and found the classes I like. Some weeks are harder than others to go and when that happens I just ease up on myself and take a break. Then I start to miss it and head back. I've become much stronger, more flexible and about 20 pounds learner. A lot happened between 20 and where I was and truthfully it was 99% mental. Literally I needed to work some stuff out. So I faced facts and with the help of a friend or two, did the work and sorted out the head space. I try to eat healthy and REAL foods most of the time. I eat less carbs as the day goes on, but I'm not super conscious of it either. Then if I have a day or two that's more celebratory than others, I tighten up on the diet for a day or two before I head back to neutral eating. I still have a ways to go, but I see that this thing is gradual and I'm good with that.
6. Project 52. Well shit, somehow I managed to finish this. 52 weeks of posting. Not usually on time and not usually with my theme but hey it's done.
So what's up 2013?

So what's up 2013?
Project 52: FIFTY TWO
I have to say I'm a bit surprised to see that I actually made it to week 52. I know I know, how hard can it be to post ONE little weekly picture?? But at times it was hard. It's been a great year but a busy one. Originally, I started with my theme of gratitude but somehow it's evolved or rather un-evolved to just a reflection of me/family. I really liked having a concept to begin but I think the freedom to just post made this a bit more doable. It's also hard for me to decide exactly what I want to share and what I want to remember. I think it would be neat to do Project 52 in two versions. One version is your public P52 and one version is private for you alone. Do both projects exactly as you see your week. Wonder how those books would turn out... And that's just what I'm planning for my P52- a blurb book. Yup, add it to the to do list.
As for 2013, I'm taking a break with the project. I'm thinking of a whole new concept for myself and blog. I'll share more on that soon. Stay posted. And are you tuning in tonight to watch Bachelor Sean? Of course I am. Thanks for following along this year.
