Where have you been?????

Seriously…. Where have you guys been??? Just kidding… it’s me — I’m back.

 Thank you for the emails, comments, etc wondering where I have been and if I am ok, alive, and not kidnapped :)  I’m great!  I’m here, happy, healthy and blogging.

 I’ll be honest; this whole blog thing was/is a great outlet for me.  I love meeting ALL of you… conversing with friends I’ve never met, reading your stories, praying for you when you need it and sharing all my yummy secrets…. But lately (over the last few months) it has been SERIOUSLY eating at me that BK doesn’t know about this blog.

 I tell him everything….seriously, everything.  He knows first when something shitty happens at work, he knows FIRST when something GREAT happens at work…. He listens to me whine, cry, laugh, burp, scream, and squeal…. So having a “secret” from him has been nauseating.

I know I kept this as a journal… I’m planning on downloading all of my posts for future reading material… I certainly don’t want to lose them; BUT I can’t in my good mind keep this blog going without him knowing.  And honestly – I’d rather just start fresh.

 He knew I had a blog awhile ago…. But since I’m going to start training again in a few months I figure what a way to start a new blog and transition all of you to my REAL life… not my covered up EXGF life…..

I haven’t developed the concept for my new blog…or a title….or a design….or anything really but an idea; but I hope you will check back here for eventually an update on my new web home. 

I’m back to checking my exgirlfriend2009@yahoo.com email so email me, comment, whatever and I’ll be sure to keep you all posted (no pun intended) on where we are going from here….

Until then …

My Aunts Gumbo – Thursday’s Treats

My Gumbo

This is my favorite Aunts recipe and could seriously win a gumbo contest….

Fry 12 slices of bacon, thin and drain. Mix bacon grease with 10 Tbsp flour. Brown flour and add bacon (I crumble the bacon)

Add:

12 cups water

5 lbs raw, peeled and deveined shrimp (you can use chicken, shrimp, oysters, crawfish, crab, sausage, or anything else you like – BK and I prefer shrimp and crab)

2 chopped bell peppers

5 packages frozen cut okra

10 bay leaves

4 can peeled and diced tomatoes

10 Tsp worchestire sauce

5 Tsp salt

1 Tbsp pepper

2 cans tomato paste

4 shakes tobasco

1 Tsp Celery Seed

2 Tsp Soy sauce

½ tsp Tarragon

½ tsp Thyme

½ tsp rosemary

½ tsp Savory (optional

Cook slowly for three hours add 2lbs crab meat at the end and serve with Rice

This makes an ass load of Gumbo – BK and I eat it and cool the rest and bag it and suck the air out of the zip loc bag and freeze it for later. Be sure if you are freezing it to divide it up between bags in your preferred serving size – once you heat it up after it is frozen it is not good to re-freeze and re-heat again.

Also – you will need the biggest stock pot you own for this….. just an FYI!

Enjoy! DOn’t forget to send in questions to me for CAB and EXGF Q&A!!

BB12 – POV Monet and Britney

Previously on BB – (Since I missed Sunday’s episode I’ll recap with CBS)

Rachel won HOH and showed her cootchie and ass…….Matt hit up Rachel to be safe…..She’s suspicious.  Britney and Monet were bitches…Hayden and Kristen hooked up, Brendon and Rachel hooked up (and they are making me throw up).

Rachel nominated – Monet and Britney….tonight POV…

Here we go…..

Day 14 – Britney and Monet talk about how they hate Rachel….Hayden is a hottie too….his Brigade is safe Rachel is feeling good about her nominations.

Seriously – Rachel and Brendon’s relationship is sick.  They have known each other like 5 minutes.  Britney is now crying with the roaches in the have-not room.  Honey- buck up you too Monet seriously they are crying like their dog just died.  It is a GAME! Win POV and shut them up….stop crying! Monet and Britney think that Rachel doesn’t like them and she is against them and it’s personal.  Rachel just wants the boys in the house to fawn over her….I get Monet and Britney’s frustration with her.

Does it always seem that Hayden is yelling in the Diary Room (DR)? I feel like every time he goes in there he screams….Matt, Lane and Hayden are talking outside in the lawn about what happens if the nominations change.  The Brigade has to stick together or its possible one of them may get back-doored.  FYI – this is the first season I have NOT read spoilers.  I am always reading spoilers and wanting to know what happens but this year I AM NOT since I’m doing these recaps I thought that would be like cheating on BB – any who…..

On the patio is Britney, Rachel – Britney is still crying and Rachel takes her upstairs to talk.  Rachel feels bad that Brit is crying and hurt her feelings.  Britney is totally working this broken heart angle.  Britney swears on her engagement that she has no alliances and Rachel reveals that her real target is Monet.  Britney wants to do everything she can to keep her and Monet is the game and tells Rachel her real target is Andrew, poor Andrew….but he really is annoying.

Rachel is crying to Brendon and Brendon kisses her…..seriously enough with the making out you two.  This reminds me of when Amber was on BB – anyone remember crying Amber??? That girl cried all the time….Evel Dick’s season…I’m ready for a BB all stars…this cast so far is kinda lame.

Brendon is professing his affection to Rachel in an attempt to get her in the sac (Scratch that already happened) to make her feel better.

In the backyard Britney and Monet are discussing how jealous of Monet Rachel is …. Irritating when people say “I’m the type of person that will tell you if I don’t like you” – how many people actually do that? Yea right….Britney and Monet are just alienating everyone else…they need to be careful because the two of them Andrew are definitely the floaters this year.

There are those damn flamingos again……

Matt is talking to Andrew about his marriage.  He tells Andrew about this disease his wife “has”…mela something or other.  Funny – Matt has no idea that Andrew is a dr. J – Matt is going on and on about it affects less than 1 in a million people and about the surgery his wife can have but the surgery is elective and not covered. Andrew is looking kind of puzzled…..hahahaha…..this is kinda funny actually; but a little gross that Matt is lying about his wife.

In the DR Matt reveals his wife has NO DISEASE and he wants the sympathy; he’s just a guy trying to save his wife’s leg…. Ragan buys into it and appreciates that Matt is not here for selfish reasons and then indicates that he can “out smart” Andrew the shoe salesman.  Andrew in the DR tells us that the name of the disease Matt is lying about is not a real or correct term….hahahahaha this is hilarious J

Rachel comes out with the veto bag and reads the scripted POV speech…seriously CAB is right…these speeches are terrible in the beginning.

Rachel, Monet and Britney are obviously in….. Rachel chooses Brendon as HG choice, Monet chooses Lane and Britney chooses Enzo.  Host is Ragan….

Houseguests enter backyard in black pants, white shirts and ties holding brief cases….. In the pOV each HG will grab briefcase and lock themselves in the Stocks (the things where your head and arms go through…the old timey things that they used to be-head people). HG have to opt out closest to one hour without going over….you opt out by dropping your briefcase.

Enzo needs to stop saying meow meow…you are not a cat…maybe a pussy but not a cat.

Brendon has a strategy to keep track with his fingers…get to five minutes and then start over…

Monet thinks 60×60 = 1200 so she’s going to be out soon

Rachel is going to count to 3600 seconds and be done

Enzo – remembers that driving to the Jersey shore takes an hour….how is that relevant?

Ragan tells the HG the twist….a rotating dollar bill hits them in the face like every second…..

Britney thinks that most dollar bills come out stripper’s g-strings…..ha….

Time is at 46minutes and all HG are hanging in.

Lane is talking about how he was tied up in college when he was drunk…..stop there Lane…no more.

Britney drops first….the sun beats down and the dollar bill keeps hitting and then Enzo drops.  All of them are sweating bullets and Lane drops out.

Brendon drops leaving Rachel and Monet…….

Ragan reveals….

Rachel – 1:15:07

Monet – 1:15:06

Brendon – 1:06:04

Lane – 1:01:29

Enzo – 1:00:14

Britney – 52:28

Britney wins POV…..

Rachel is so fake….every word that comes out of her mouth is fake…she annoys me (as if you couldn’t tell)

I wonder if they have noticed that there hasn’t been any saboteur activity. Money and Britney are in the have-not room Crying again…..stop the crying….their plan is to throw Andrew under the bus and backdoor him.  BUT since Monet is Rachel’s real target who knows…

Monet comes up to talk to Rachel and tosses Andrew right in front of the 18 wheeler…. Monet tries and convinces Rachel that Andrew is against them and that if she saves Monet; Monet and Britney wouldn’t come after her.

I’m tired of the cameras always cutting to Brendon and Rachel making out….seriously…I’m still convinced they have a previous relationship.  BK thinks Kathy and Britney are mom/daughter…interesting huh?

I hate when my tivo catches up to live television…

Ragan and Matt enter HOH room and Rachel is telling them that she is going to put Andrew up as a pawn.  Pawns never work……WHAT THE HELL MATT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Matt just said it work better if HE was the pawn….you are an idiot….you should go home…no one should ever volunteer to be a pawn…you are an idiot – have you watched this show???? You deserve to go home to your fake-sick wife.

Back in the HOH B&R are talking about Andrew vs. Matt for pawn…. Rachel is smelling that something is fishy with Matt’s plan of volunteering to be the pawn.  Enter.Andrew.

Andrew tells B&R that if he goes up he will go home – and they will lose someone on their side.  I think B&R just had their first fight…..and I totally believe they are together outside the house.

But Brendon looks hot in a beanie…and Rachel is crying….

Seriously –

POV ceremony – Britney takes herself off and puts Matt up next to Monet – Rachel agrees to Matt’s deal and tells everyone Matt is a pawn.  Andrew escaped…

I.heart.Ragan…..I think he is precious.

Since I’m going to be in Mexico tomorrow and will miss BB tomorrow AND Sunday – I’m going to ask CAB to do the recap again….. BUT she’s on a date right now (date #2 with the boy) so I’ll have to ask her later.

GUMBO recipe up next….

My tivo didn’t record BB last night!!! So that is why there is no recap! UGH! I hate HATE HATE my cable company. I really need to switch they are terrible! I will try and watch on line tonight once CBS posts the full episode.

If you haven’t already deduced my weekend from the above numbers let me recap……

Friday night CAB and I went to go see the Spazmatics. It was planned she would meet the boy I met through work (which worked out – he took her on a FAB-O date Saturday night – maybe we aren’t hearing wedding bells but it was a good solid date none the less).

Fast forward – we went from sober to drunk in like 2.5 seconds.

In order to avoid a $75 cab ride to my house (and in total logical sober thinking – ha) we took a cab to my moms house which was only 5 minutes away…..

I jumped in bed with her woke her up at 2am and asked her to drive our drunk asses home. And in the meantime had her drive us through Taco Cabana … seriously I have THE BEST MOM ever!!!!!!!!

Once we were home – we passed out……

Saturday morning we awoke hungry, hungover and stranded. It was 8am – We had CAB’s car but CAB’s keys where in my car which was $75 away at the hotel we were at the night before. BK was not awake and we don’t really talk to CC or Branch anymore………who could pick us up???

We scrounged around the house and ate pretzels and crackers and drank a Shit load of Diet coke until BK woke up and rescued us.

Seriously – it was probably one of the funniest nights of my life….had we had a tad bit more energy we totally would have mustered up a co-blog (full with two color fonts for writing distinction).

To a fun Friday and an almost blind boyfriend……….

More on the BK blinding later….

Also – I’ve circumvented how to post while at work……I type myself the post in email – send it to my yahoo account – pull it up on my phone – copy and paste it into my wordpress app and post.. VOILA!

AND FYI – send in questions for CAB and Me…..We will plan on the Q&A next week when I’m back from Cabo!

Posted in Weekend | 3 Comments

Happy Friday!

I’m at work and bored off my ass….. There isn’t really anything for me to do except pretend that I actually have something to do. Such is the first week of a new job I guess. My boss isn’t here – he currently lives in Austin but is in the process of relocating to Dallas. He put his house on the market on Tuesday and I have to be honest, I hope it sells fast. I think it will be better when he is here and I can shadow him and actually learn something.

The other dude in my department is a 50ish year old male; who seriously talks my ear off. He’s a nice guy no doubt but really doesn’t know when to hush. For example, the other day we went to lunch. He asked me to tell him about myself. I asked “what do you want to know?” – He said you know the basics…. So I started… I grew up in Dallas, went to college at A&M etc etc….not even 2 minutes after I started talking he jumped in and started talking and didn’t shut it for an HOUR AND A HALF………… I mean, I can tolerate A LOT but the constant babble is enough already. I’m ready for our assistant to get here from Delaware so I have someone to buffer the madness. I guess no job is perfect……

Anyway – less than one week I’ll be in CABO! I can’t flippin’ wait. BK and I take off at 9am on Thursday the 22nd and I’m so super excited I could scream. Actually I squealed last night when we were going to bed… here’s our convo:

Me: “Guess where we will be this time next week?”

BK: “It’s 11:30 I’m sure we will be in bed”

Me: “Really?!? (as sarcastic as possible) – Really? That’s your answer?

BK: “what?” (clueless)

Me: “we will be in CABO!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!”::squeal squeal squeal::

BK: “Oh yea – you better rest up”

That was thrilling……

So today my super preggo friend is having her baby!! She checked into the hospital this morning and I haven’t heard anything yet! BUT I’m hoping to hear something soon. Hopefully baby girl will be here soon and I can’t wait to hold that precious miracle! She really is a miracle….my friend had the toughest time getting pregnant this time around. She has a son and in between him and the new baby she had like 5 miscarriages…it was awful so we are thankful that this baby is healthy and full term!

Tonight CAB and I are going out and she is hopefully meeting the BOY! I haven’t heard from him today on email but suspect he is busy catching up since he was out of the office yesterday, or perhaps he thinks I’m lame….either way a return email would be polite.

My mom is trying to set CAB up on a blind date with a work colleague’s son. He is 30 a firefighter and lives very close to CAB. She emailed me a picture yesterday and I think he is precious. I guess it worked out b/c he requested CAB as a friend on FB last night! HAHA go MOM!!! We definitely have CAB’s best interest at heart.

Q&A – You have all next week to email in questions for me and CAB. You can ask anything….. You guys should feel like you know her as well as you know me. J You want dirty little secrets about me? Ask her… you want to know why we are 29 and unmarried…ask… favorite food? We’ll tell you…whatever… just submit away and when I get back from Cabo and CAB gets back from visiting family we will sit down and Vlog the answers. PLUS you get to see us on camera – which means you get to see me and her AND hear our voices (I promise drunken high pitched voices will be excluded – BUT I can’t promise that alcohol won’t be involved).

Email Questions to: exgirlfriend2009@yahoo.com

I’m hoping to pick up something way cool in Cabo and do my very first giveaway when I get back so stay tuned for that…. ALSO Thursday’s treats will be up on WEDNESDAY since I’ll be gone next week.

Hugs and kisses and happy weekend!!!

BB 12 episode 4 – First Eviction

AND Saboteur discloser….

JC kicks us off in a precious little blue asymmetrical number.  I love it! Mama looks HOT – and to think this time last year she was about to burst with child…. I wonder who does her wardrobe b/c I.heart.that.dress.

JC tells us what we already know – we will find out who the saboteur is.  We go ahead a refresh our memory from 24 hours ago regarding what happened at nom’s and POV…. Maybe CAB can catch up here since I apparently drunk dial during BB :) haha…

Rachel is looking a little like Elvira tonight with red hair…. I totally want Rachel to go home… I’m over her, however, I think that it would be funny to see those roots at the end of summer.  In my pool with BK’s fam I have Hayden and Annie – I really really need Rachel to go home tonight – OK houseguests? Do you hear me – VOTE RACHEL! Please and thank you.

Annie’s shoes are terrible…no offense if you like them….

Britney needs to stop with the cliches…rabid mountain lion? full deck of cards? honey – pick a side or your ass is going to be back in Arkansas faster than you can say TWO FACED!

Annie is acting a little crazy-stomping around like a mad woman, cussing, and calling people out…ANNIE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Matt – the tattooed genius and Enzo the wanna be SITUATION (jersey shore reference …anybody??? anybody?? Buehler…..?) are talking in the have-not room – they feel “The Brigade” orchestrated the entire plan, beginning to end – um give credit where credit is due – Annie is digging her own grave and you pussy’s didn’t do shit – Hayden is the one that put everyone up, you two douche bags are sitting pretty.  FYI CAB – I always curse in this blog :)

I love the rug in the kitchen….. it would match my lime walls perfectly!

Annie FYI – Brendon will always pick boobies over you – it’s no question.  She is grasping at straws here, she pulled out the tears and everything….she should think about acting.

In the sauna room (make our room) whatever – Rachel and Brendon are making out again….. mood killer – Brendon brings up Annie….I’m with Rachel on this one why the hell is he talking about Annie while they are making out.  Side note – Rachel this is not real – it’s TV and you are 1/2 of a showmance baby.  Rachel words verbatim “Why are you letting some girl you met 8 days ago come between something that is real?” My first guess – FYI I’m blogging live here – is that Rachel and Brendon are the life long friends….. She’s in Vegas he’s in Southern Cali – it’s possible.

They did hook up and make out pretty quick and they share the science love…… ok hitting play now on TIVO

Brendon is acting like a girl – he’s hot factor just decreased tremendously…… stop crying like a baby.

Commercial break – Julie is revealing the saboteur.  America has voted it’s Kathy – ready – ready- ready – it’s ANNIE!!!!!!!!!!

she’s revealing how she locked the storage room, taped Kathy and Britney, and hid beeping devices all over the house.

Shit – y’all she’s my girl in the pool – that means now i’m stuck with Kathy…ugh…

The beeping noises are hilarious – Enzo keeps calling himself the meowmeow -

Cut to the living room with the saboteur – The saboteur says he escaped Hayden’s wrath.  The houseguests are talking about who it is.  They think it’s Brendon because he “escaped” the block. By winning POV and taking him off Britney is leading the pack to believe that it is Brendon.  Jewish Dr. and Hayden are conspiring about voting out Rachel b/c of her relationship with Brendon.  Outside is Annie, Lane, Monet, Kathy, and Britney – Annie is working them over and talking about Brendon’s job as a Physicist and is shifting the house to vote for Rachel.  I need this work – I need Annie to stay.

She makes valid points regarding Brendon’s actions, alliances, etc…. Kathy is looking rough…circles under the eyes, bags, wowza -get the makeup out sweetie.

Annie is doing great with campaigning….

I want to sit in that living room and say “HI JULIE!” – Seriously I want to be on BB so bad!!!! Houseguests are talking to Julie and she pin points Enzo.

Enzo has been on slop and compares it to her ex-girlfriend….Does anyone remember George who was on slop for like a ridiculous amount of time and lost like 50 pounds?

Did Andrew really just thank CBS for the twist of the in-house friendship? What a nerd……

Here goes the plea’s -

Annie – Thanks everyone and is thrilled to meet everyone.  game play – Rachel is beautiful – but she has Brendon – did she really compare Jeff and Jordan to Rachel and Brendon. HOW DARE YOU! Jeff and Jordan are BB legends! But good campaign Annie – Great Job!

Rachel – I love you and I’m proud…..fun being a have-not-ie; trusts everyone to make the right decision and thanks them for being her friend.

Hayden will vote in a tie – two nom’s don’t vote

Monet is up first – Votes to evict Annie

Andrew – votes to evict Annie

Lane – votes to evict Annie

DAMN It looks like Annie is going home…..Pee break for a commercial…the burgers at Chili’s look good and they are only $5.99 :) YUM! No wonder I will never be skinny…..tear.

Kathy – votes to evict Annie

Kristen – votes to evict Annie

Brendon – votes to evict Annie

It’s official – Annie is out – DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reagan – votes to evict Annie

Enzo – votes to evict Annie

Matt – votes to evict Annie

Britney – votes to evict Annie (and has crazy eyes to go along with it)

Votes are in 10 – 0 Annie is out

Man Annie has some UGLY shoes……we also just got a bra shot…. wear a tank or something Annie no one wasn’t to see your Victoria’s Secret.

Annie just suckered out some high-fives from the audience.

HG’s stare at the memory wall and Rachel looks scared and out of place.  Brendon goes and hugs her…Julie is back with Annie on the couches.

Annie thinks she played too hard and put a target on her back.  She talks about her relationship with Brendon and why the place voted her out 10-0.  She thinks the house made a pitiful choice in choosing to evict her; I don’t disagree – Rachel should be sitting there with Julie.  Annie thinks the strongest player is Brendon.

Thank GOD Britney said to throw out the shoes……and silver eyeshadow – I didn’t notice as much but it can go too, in my humble opinion.

Rachel made a tape about how dare Annie come between her and her man — Annie stabs back harder with the fact that Brendon hit on her first and Rachel got her sloppy seconds.  You can catch Annie on the early show in the morning if you want…

HOH competition up next!

“majority rules” – there is a series of questions that Julie will ask.  HG’s answer the way they feel the majority of the house will.  If you answer int he majority you move on – if you answer in the minority you sit.

Question one – whose life story will make more money at the box office? Kathy or Enzo – Majority rules B enzo – Kathy, Brendon,

Question two – who would win BB bikini contest – Rachel or Kristen? Majority says Rachel – Enzo out, Matt out Lane out The Brigade alliance is not going to be hoh this week….

Question three – Who does the majority believe is more likely to put a larger than life-size sculpture in their yard – Hayden or Brendon ? Everyone said Brendon

Question four – Who has more Facebook friends – Britney or Monet? tie again – Britney

Question five – Who would HG’s choose to cheat off  – Regan or matt? – everyone said Regan.

Question six – Who would HG prefer to have pack their parachute before jumping out of an airplane Andrew or lane? majority say Lane – Andrew is out

Questions seven – Who is more likely to talk themselves out of a traffic ticket Britney or Regan? Britney – Regan out

HOH will be a lady – Britney, Rachel or Monet?

Tie breaker – answer will be a number – closest without going over will be HOH

In the have/have not competition with the caramel how many gallons of caramel did HG crawl through?

Britney -41

Rachel -80

Monet – 725

Rachel is new HOH 330 gallons was the correct amount!

She’s jumping around like a little jumping bean and her ass is hanging out of her dress…… should be an interesting week.

Lots of Work = little bloggy time

Can we please give a round of applause to CAB ::clap,clap,clap,clap:: Thank you CAB for stepping up in my drunken stooper to fill in for our loving BB fans.

Sidenote: I DO NOT get high pitched drunk voice; OK maybe I do BUT it’s only because I’m a super fun drunk not an overly emotional premenstrual kind of drunk. THANK GOD b/c I would totally want to slit my wrists if I was an emotional drunk.

ANYWAY – this boy I met last night, who will subsequently become one of my clients, is single.  He’s 35, successful, a homeowner, driven, ambitious, athletic and FUN – pretty sure he’s a perfect match for CAB – he’s also very handsome.  During my first work happy hour in which I proceeded to get drunk, AWESOME MOVE!, I pretty much sold CAB to him pretty quickly.  All it took was one pic from the iphone and I found myself making plans for us to go meet up with him and some other work buddies tomorrow night for a concert.  One of CAB and I’s favorite most funnest bands – The Spazmatics!

I also drove home (not a good move I know you can shake your finger at me right now) but it was daylight and do cops really look for drunk drivers during the day?  I was home and passed out by 7:30pm.  I awoke around 8:15, this is not a lie or an exaggeration, with a pizza box on my lap and a 2 liter of Pepsi next to me on the couch.  I had a breadstick in one hand and the marinara sauce has spilled on the pizza box.  Classy? I think the so!  THIS is why BK loves me :)

You should also know that I was fully clothed in my work attire…black pencil skirt, white crisp button up shirt and heels.

On my drive home I apparently thought a $5 hot-n-ready from Little Caesar’s was a good idea….there goes my Cabo body.

Can I skip Thursday’s Treats this week? I have a HUGE one planned next week that is a SECRET FAMILY RECIPE!! My Aunt’s GUMBO!  This recipe will make you like gumbo if you don’t, will make you fall in love with it all over again if you do and make you vacuum seal it and freeze it so you can have it all the time!  Seriously it’s that good…no lie.

Also – I”m sorry that my commenting has been down b/c of work I haven’t been able to read as much as I want to and haven’t commented at all.  Once I get all settled in I promise I’ll be back to leaving you love SOON!!!

I’ll post the BB recap later this evening…. hugs!

ALSO – please start posting any questions you want answered for the Q&A (CAB will be included – right CAB?) – you can post or email exgirlfriend2009@yahoo.com – please, please, please submit questions b/c I really want to do this I think it can be fun – more than one question is ACCEPTABLE AND ENCOURAGED!!!!!

CAB at your service

OK so it is my first post- and it is late already!!!  Ahhh!  I don’t want to be a failure EGF (Ex-Girlfriend) – is going to kill me if I don’t get this BB update up soon.  AND- I just want to get it over with because I am so nervous about it.  I know sounds dumb that I would be even slightly nervous about writing a BB update on a blog where absolutely no one -except EGF knows who I am-seriously- stupid I know.

So the show opens with Rachel and Brendon are talking about how mad they are about getting put on the block.  Seriously people, it’s BB.  Haven’t you ever watched the show, everyone gets nominated at some point- get over it.  I agree with EGF that Rachel’s hair color is hideous.  It looks so fake.  I just can’t wait to see what it starts to look like after it is grows out and fades as the days go on in the house.  anyway- back to the update.

So they cut to Rachel and Brendon in the hammock talking about how bummed they are because they are both on the block.  I think they are under the impression that they have a real relationship- again, have they ever watched this show- showmances don’t translate into real relationships like ever!!!  They start making out under a blanket in the hammock with all the other houseguests watching out the window- what are we in the 5th grade?!?  Brendon and Rachel even talk about going on a date when they are outside the house- vomit.  Anyway-the other houseguests see them as an even bigger threat as they get closer and closer- they will not last long in the house- which totally bumms me out because I think Brendon is a total hottie.  As someone who works in a high school- swim coaches like that are few and far between.  O- well at least he will get home in time for the school year to start and he won’t get fired from his job.

Hayden (the HOH) and Brendon finally talk (Brendon waits until the next day so he is not mad anymore) about why Hayden put Brendon up.  Hayden (also total hottie) gives the chicken sh** (cant remember if EGF uses profanity in blog so I will spare you) answer to Brendon about why he put him up- you are a big threat and a good competitor.  Bla- bla- bla is all I have to say about that!!! Brendon even pulls the “I got your back next week if you save me” card.  Hayden sees that as a threat and it does not work to Brendon’s advantage at all- in fact it will probably work against him!!!

So now the time comes where they pick POV players.  I don’t have many details from this part of the show because my TIVO is broken and my BFF EGF calls me (a little drunk I might add) to tell me about a boy she wants me to go out with.  This was the funnies conversation ever!!!!  EGF gets a really high pitch voice when she has been drinking and it is so hysterical I can only laugh.  EGF is so excited about me meeting this guy though and that makes me excited.  She is awesome!!!

Back to BB- the veto competition is basically a scrabble competition (which EGF would totally love and be so good at if she was on the show).  The players have to smash these pinatas filled with mayonnaise (who fills pinatas with mayo BB?- where do you guys come up with this stuff??????)  The pinatas are filled with letters and the players have to find them and spell a word- longest word wins.

“The Brigade” (aka – 4 desperate boys trying to follow previous seasons alliances) don’t want Brendon to win- but no such luck.  The hottie little swim coach spells a word with 13 letters and wins (yea- get to look at him one more week!) Two funniest parts of POV comp.

1) Rachel spells Chemistry and says i wanted to say ” I spelled chemistry because Brendon and I have so much of it”   SERIOUSLY????

2) Jewish doctor misspells some fancy word.  Says he purposely misspelled it – yea right!!

The Brigade then congregates and decides that Annie (who i totally like too-she is funny) is with Rachel and Brendon and that she needs to go up in his spot.  In comes Brittany who also wants Hayden to put up Annie- but then tells Annie that Hayden is thinking about putting her up.  Seriously Brittany- pick a side.

Annie tries to convince Hayden that she does not need to go up- does not work- at the POV meeting- he puts Annie up anyway.  So it is either Rachel or Annie going home.

- the houseguests are so bad at the scripted meetings in the beginning.  They seem so fake and planned.  It makes me laugh.  They get so much better at this as the season goes on.  Brendon acted totally ridiculous during the meeting to – he says “Although many of you don’t expect this- I am going to save MYSELF!!!”  Brendon- really?  your hot- don’t act dumb!!!!

So the houseguests are talking about not having heard from the saboteur recently and guess what happens- the saboteur comes on the TV in the living room and all the houseguests go in to see what he/she has to say.  (du- du- duuuun).  The saboteur reveals that there are 2 lifelong friends in the house.  No one knows whether to believe him or not- so they all become paranoid again.  Jewish doctor takes it over the edge and jumps up to say it is not him because no one in the house knows anything about being jewish.  Really, is that a logical argument dude?  I don’t get him or his strategy.  He kind of drives me crazy- but is interesting at the same time.

So that is where it ends- tonight- will Annie or Rachel go home.  Hope Rachel goes home so she does not have time for her hair to grow out and look even worse.  Who will Brendon hook up with if she leaves is the real question.  Maybe I should move in the house to take her spot- but my boobs are not nearly as big and fake as hers are – so I probably would not have a chance.  The real interesting part of tonight will be seeing who the saboteur is.  I don’t really have a guess on who it is, but I think it is going to be someone VERY unexpected!!!!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed my guest blog.  SOOOOO sorry it is up so late!!!!!!  EGF – take it from here!!!!

Debut..

Of CAB!!!

Tomorrow night I have a happy hour for work so I won’t be able to watch BB until Thursday which means the recap wouldn’t be up until Thursday or Friday — So I’ve enlisted my trusty BFF with a homework assignment.

Assignment #1 – catch up on this blog.  She hasn’t read in a while so I charged her with catching up on the recaps, posts ,etc

Assignment #2 – watch BB (not hard b/c she does this three times a week already)

Assignment #4 – take COPIOUS notes regarding activity, decisions, challenges, POV’s, random things that scare her, excite her, etc…such as the pink flamingos that scare me.

Assignment #5 – take said notes and translate into her (DRUM ROLL PLEASE…….) VERY FIRST BLOG POST EV-AH!!!!

CAB has never blogged so we will pop her blog cherry tomorrow when I give her complete access to my account (scary she COULD hack me at anytime and post whatever she wanted) and complete access to YOU!!!!

After her first post I’m thinking about Q&A and w/ CAB and me – so prepare your questions in hopes that I can get CAB on my webcam this weekend and we will film.  Ask ANYTHING we will tell (I’m speaking for her now) — If you don’t feel like commenting questions you can email them to: exgirlfriend2009@yahoo.com – note if you want them kept anonymous.

HUGS and KISSES!
