Quality Time....

I admit it.....I watch "The Bachelor" on TV.....and "The Bachelorette". Sort of like watching a train wreck most of the time....but I am hooked. I always find myself rooting for the one chosen....man or woman....and hoping that this time they will actually make it to the altar and the marriage will be a happy one.

After all....I met MY husband of 47 years at a bar when we were in college. And frankly, if you were 18 you could drink beer in Wisconsin back in 1964....so the details of our first meeting are just a little blurry. But it worked out.....and here we are all these years later.

However, I can almost guarantee that I was not using words like "I need some quality alone time" when I'd describe our Saturday evening date after arriving back at the dorm. I wasn't competing with 25 other young women either...that would have been a deal breaker for sure.

So I know these reality shows are strange.....a sort of semi-reality (none of OUR dates involved jetting off to Paris or some exotic Pacific island!). But still....it appears I am hooked. I watch. Usually while I am also quilting or reading.....but I watch!! Go "Prince Farming" and Whitney.....I hope she can make the transition from working in Chicago to living on the farm in Arlington, Iowa!

And I'll see you (Chris) on "Dancing With the Stars"!!!
