Inspiration

So I know it has been a while and I'm sorry for all 3 followers that I have. Northern NJ as well as other areas in the north east got hit with another snow storm or as the news reports were calling it Snowicane. We ended up getting about 18" of snow and we are set to get some more on Monday or Tuesday.. Just freaking great.

Since it was a snow day both hubby and I were home so after shoveling ourselves out and running out to get some lunch we decided to watch a movie. I had netflixed three movies, Julie and Julia, 500 Days of Summer and The Ugly Truth.. I pretended to shuffle the movies and hubby had to close his eyes and pick one. Julie and Julia it was.

First off, I absolutely loved the movie. I thought it was really funny, inspirational (hence the title of the post) and kept my interest the whole time. I loved Julie's idea of cooking through Julia Child's book and blogging about it. I liked how Julie started out as a nobody in the blogging world and a year later was super popular and known world wide.

Now I'm not looking to be known world wide but I wish I had interesting things to blog about and people to follow me. Any ideas from my 3 followers would be appreciated. I following a good amount of blogs myself and they range from home decorating to baking to babies to face painting to crafts to fashion, etc. Most of the people that I follow I feel are "famous" in the blogging world or at least have a good number of fans. For some reason I feel more comfortable having random stranger follow me than actually people I know hahaha. Weird I know.

Bachelor

Tonight starts out with the girls still on the RV. They are headed to San Fransisco. It is down to 5 girls. Tenley gets the first date which is a one on one. I like Tenley and really hope she is the final girl. Tenley is starting to get really nervous and realize that she needs to step up her game in order to stay. They head to China Town and they seem to be having fun.



The girls get the next date card and Corrie decides to play a little joke and say the two on one date is for Vienna and Ali. Ali has a mini heart attack and starts to mouth off. Ali is really starting to bother me... we get it you don't like Vienna but to verbal bash her isn't necessary to me. Corrie finally tells the girls she is just joking and Vienna calls Ali out of talking bad about her after the last rose ceremony.



Tenley and Jake talk about their futures and want they want in a marriage. They both ask each other some pretty deep questions. They finally start kissing.. surprise surprise.



Gia and Vienna get a trunk full of clothing to choose stuff from. They go a place called castle winery and it is gorgeous looking. When the three of them are together, Vienna basically steals the spot light. Once Gia and Jake are alone, they seem to really hit it off and have a great connection. They too kiss. I like Gia also.



Vienna finally gets her alone time after hunting Gia and Jake down. Their alone time seems interesting and Vienna stresses that she wants this to all be over and just be with Jake. Jake seems a little put off by this. Vienna decides she wants to surprise Jake and go to his room. Well Jake seems ok with it at first but then asks Vienna to leave so Gia doesn't feel weird.



Corrie is up next for her one on one date. They go out on a row boat and just chat and laugh. They seem a little awkward together and still haven't had a single kiss. After a long talk, Jake and Corrie open up to each other and we learn that Corrie is saving herself for marriage. Jake seems ok with it and they finally kiss.



Last but not least it is Ali's turn. Since Ali is from there, she gets to plan the date. Ali shows Jake her neighborhood. Their date seems cute but nothing too special. They finally talk and Ali claims to finally be ok with all of Jake's decisions (aka Vienna).. I call BS



The final rose ceremony time comes and Jake spends some one on one time with all the girls. Jake saws Vienna his room and view from his room. Jake talks to Vienna and tells her not to worry about what happened the other night and that things are good between them. Jake definitely has a thing for Vienna. Jake sits down with Chris and they discuss how things have been going.

The first rose goes to Tenley

Second rose goes to Ali

Third rose goes to Gia

The last and final rose goes to Vienna

Corrie doesn't seem overly upset, yet Jake does. Corrie didn't open up to Jake enough and I agree with his decision.



Next week is home town dates and it looks pretty good.
