Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits

So, I’d been seeing all the Thinking Blogger awards all over blogland and each time thought to myself, “Now, there’s an award I’m probably not qualified for”. I’d say most people don’t find Big Mama and deep thoughts synonymous. I’m okay with that.

Anyway, I was wrong because Jennifer at Snapshot and Just A Beach Kat have both bestowed me with the Thinking Blogger award. I guess thinking about the cost of a Big Gulp and what new shoes to buy for spring, count as thoughts. Lucky for me.

Thanks, Ladies. I appreciate it.

And along the lines of being a deep thinker, I have to share that last night’s premiere episode of The Bachelor: An Officer and A Gentleman did not disappoint. In fact, there was so much to ponder, that I can’t even wrap my mind around its cheesy goodness.

It truly is reality T.V. at its best. Where else can you find Lieutenant Richie Cunningham looking for love? He looked like a woman with PMS in a room full of chocolate. So many choices, so little time.

ABC pulled out all the stops on this one. We got to see a drunk girl fall off a barstool and just keep sipping on her cocktail. Don’t y’all know her Mama was proud?

And then, in a moment that makes me sweat just thinking about it, one of the girls serenaded the Lieutenant with The Star Spangled Banner. My embarrassment was so overwhelming that I had to bury my head and could only stand to rewind and watch it over about 55 times. By the end, our Bachelor was wiping tears from his eyes and so was I, but I don’t think for the same reasons.

And a girl in a minidress doing a backwards centipede? The Bachelor kept talking about what an accomplished group of women he had to choose from, and if that skill doesn’t prove it, what does?

I have a feeling it’s going to be a great season. For one of my favorite Bachelor recaps ever, go visit Lincee. She is part of my Bachelor watching tradition and will make you laugh out loud.
