Guilty Pleasure

Those of you who know me well know that one of my guilty pleasures is watching The Bachelor / Bachelorette. When it's on, I truly look forward to the new episodes each Monday to see what ridiculous things happen and this season is no different. Each episode is more and more unbelievable, leaving me and my girlfriends texting back and forth throughout the show about the horrible serenades, constant use of the phrase "guard and protect your heart", insane tattoos, girlfriends back and home and so on.

Typically, Corey is forced to watch the weekly 2-hour show with me (though surprisingly, he seems to remember the names of each contestants better than I do) but this week, the girls and I decided to get together for a Bachelorette date night. We had a blast. Between laughing hysterically while re-watching certain scenes over and over and playing a "guard and protect your heart" drinking game, we also found time to snack on the merlot chocolate sauce, which Sara brought back from her recent Napa trip, fruit and pretzels.

You've just got to love those guilty pleasures that allow you more time with your girlfriends, laughing and relaxing on a Monday night.

And for those of you who also enjoy The Bachelor and Bachelorette, here are some blogs to follow and read on days when you need a good laugh:
