So....
What'd you all think of the Bachelorette Finale?!?
Come on girls, our lives don't get any better than this reality TV gold! Let's talk, talk, talk, talk TALK!
My thoughts:
- The break up with Arie was painful. And not just for Arie. For all of us. Cut to the chase already, Emily, you're making a lot of people suffer through this! You're really going to let him put fake love potion all over your arms? STOP THE SUFFERING! I BEG OF YOU!
- Bringing Arie back during the After the Final Rose was even more painful. Really, Emily? Telling the dude to leave his journal at the door and then never reading it? Ouch! Good thing you've got Jef to call Arie for you and give him some closure. Jef, you're my hero.
-Best moment of the show- Jef somersaulting into the pool wearing pink goggles.
- Loved the proposal speech. I don't care what you say, Jef is golden and I'm happy they're together.
- I am disappointed that they didn't get married today, even if only to say to all of you that I was right when I predicted it here.
-I want to go to Curacao.
- Chris Harrison is so obviously in love with Emily it's gross. I don't know if it's harder to watch his heartbreak or Arie's.
-Arie for next bachelor?
Now... on to bigger and better things. The most exciting thing ever happened to me this weekend! There I was, eating lunch at the soup and salad joint in town. Hubs and I were just getting up to leave when a boy came over and said, "Excuse me, are you Bonnie?" In those few seconds, my mind was racing fast trying to figure out how I knew the kid. I studied his face, I racked my little brain, but ALAS, nothing was coming!! In less than two seconds I had determined that I had never seen this boy before in my life.
"Uh... yes... I'm Bonnie."
"Oh, my friend, Madison, over there. She reads your blog and she recognized you. You should go say hi."
So I did. Hubs and I went and said hi. There was a whole group of young uns chowing down on their clam chowder. I didn't really know what to say, "So... you read my blog, eh? So I guess that means you know I'm a reality TV addict and that I steal underwear from Victoria's Secret? Cool. Welp. See you later." Of course I didn't say that. I don't know what I said, I just know that I was extremely awkward and weird and didn't know what to say or do. Then, do you know what that sweet thing, Madison, said to me?!? She said, "It's so cool to meet you! You're like famous!"
DID YOU HEAR THAT?!? I'M LIKE FAMOUS!!
Madison, if you are out there, reading this somewhere in the vast universe, know this. I love you. And I love you for saying that. With all my awkward little heart.
As soon as we were out of the restaurant, I couldn't help but jump up and down, "I'm famous, Hubs! Did you hear that? I'm famous!" Hubs rolled his eyes and said not to let it go to my head.
TOO LATE!
I was living high for about 24 hours, getting used to the life of a famous person. Wow, I thought, this is how old Kim Kardashian must feel like! I'm going to start having to go out in disguise so the paparazzi doesn't pummel me! Soon people will be asking for my autograph! Good bye to my days of casual public dining! This life of a celebrity is certainly going to be difficult.
Then. This afternoon, my Uncle Glen brought everything back down to earth for me. "I hear you've got a blog, Bonnie?" "I do," I replied. "Yah, people tell me I should read it. But I just never do."
Nothing like an honest uncle to put you in your place, huh?
And so, my friends, I guess we have all learned a valuable lesson here today. Everyone's days of fame and fortune must come to an end. One day you're in the limelight, the next you are falling into obscurity. My fame was shortlived, but boy, was it awesome. Thank you, Madison, for this incredible journey you have taken me on.
I will never forget you.
