Silly, Silly Ben. . .

It's been over six months since Wes & I pulled the plug on cable television and use only Netflix, but there are still a few shows I simply couldn't give up. None of them I'm too proud of, but I'm addicted nonetheless.

Pretty Little Liars is a major addicition that I can't give up ... there's a mystery element to the show, so how can anyone expect me to just up and stop watching?! Well it airs on ABC Family every Monday night, so I am able to watch it online through their webpage on Tuesday. For free. Win - win.

Switched at Birth is the other ABC Family show. I actually had never watched this when I had cable, but once we got Netflix I came across Season 1, watched it all, loved it (I secretly am fascinated by Sign Language), and realized I needed to keep up with it. So it airs on ABC Family every Tuesday which allows me to watch it online Wednesday! Sweet!

The Bachelor is another one of my guilty pleasures. I enjoy this drama with my mom, so she keeps them stored on her DVR so I can catch up on the season when I'm over there. Last night was the finale. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen, unfortunately, but I knew my mom couldn't keep her mouth shut if she watched it without me. So dad grilled last night and after supper mom and I watched the finale and "After the Rose" together to ensure she didn't ruin it for me.

First off, can we just talk about how Ben looks like an ape...? Just a little bit...? You don't see it?

Or perhaps you think he looks like Francine...? I can see that. I just don't find him all that attractive. Plus he kissed every single girl on the show pretty much - and didn't waste any time getting right down to business. He skinny dipped with Courtney when there were still 6 other girls (I think) left. Get a grip, dude!

Who was your favorite woman on the show? Mine was definitely Kacie B. She's so sweet! The polar opposite of Courtney. I mean no harm to the woman. Though she seemed rather crazy throughout the season, I'm sure it's very hard to be in that position and it brings out parts of you that you wouldn't usually see on a daily basis.

Day 12: fork

While enjoying the train wreck that was The Bachelor finale, I enjoyed a spoon fork full of homemade cream cheese frosting. Yes, I'm on a diet. No, I don't do well on diets. My family revolves around food and it makes me happy. There's a give and take, I believe.

What are your thoughts on the finale?
Are you excited for Emily to be the new Bachelorette?
She's so pretty, but I'm anxious to see how she acts in that spot since she's really quiet and reserved.
