No, Google, YOU'RE the hoochie!

Google's "I'm human!" captcha was one "i" away from calling me a hoochie this morning. You're messing with fire here, Google!

Grace for the Cure - Saturday

This Saturday, June 5, 2010, I'll be racing in the Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure with family and friends (our team is Grace for the Cure). Not only is this cause near and dear to my heart, but June 5 holds significance with me. Last year on June 5 I found out that my mother had Stage IV breast cancer - she had come out of remission. After dealing with it as a family emotionally, she started treatments and our quest for a cure became top priority.

In a way we can look at this as a blessing, because it's allowed us to really value our family and relationships. Life is a gift and we're not taking one second for granted. I hope that others who know us see the type of love and support we give each other and are able to share that with their own family, even if they don't have a monster like breast cancer knocking on their door.

In the past few months we've found some interesting clinical trials and opportunities that we're still pursuing. Every day I pray for a cure for breast cancer. We'll never ever give up and events like the Komen Race are such inspiring reminders that we aren't the only ones fighting...

The Bachelorette Premiere - May 24 - Ali (PART FOUR - FINAL POST)

Second coat of "A Oui Bit of Red" by OPI on. I'm going to have to do some serious nail polish remover work though because I may or may not have painted my fingers in addition to the nails.

Alright, here are the next guys...

16) Jonathan the Houston Weatherman. I love him. He kind of looks like Reid from Jillian's season. And he gave her a sunshine magnet - yay! (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

17) Craig asked if Ali is nervous and was down to Earth. Nice guy. (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

18) Hello Steve the Sales Representative with the curly hair. He's from Ohio. He predicted she'd be wearing yellow - her fav color. Wrong! A coworker knows him so I'll root for him anyway.  (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

19) Kirk wanted a hug... but wait... he is doing MAGIC! Or origami... same thing, right? He made a paper rose. He's the second guy to give HER a rose tonight, I like the idea but sorry guy, someone already did that with a REAL rose. (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

20) OH HAI Tyler M., the Catering Manager in some hot cowboy boots. Oh my goodness... he thought she was wearing cowboy boots when she met Jake. 1) Mentioned the Ex and 2) Confused her with another gal. FAIL! (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

21) Hunter is an Internet Account Executive who lost his nerve and couldn't remember what he planned on saying. I think he's drunk!!! Yes!!! He just told her he had to tink hahahaha. And she gave him directions to the toilet! (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

22) Derek is cute but Ali looks scared. But I really liked what he came up with - when you catch a falling leaf you make a wish - something that she said last season. But I dunno dude... (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

23) Phillip is nice and is staring dreamily in her eyes. Haha he said "See Ya..." - awkward moment point!  (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

24) Derrick AKA Shooter. I don't know. I just don't know. When he later explains his nickname it really really makes America cringe (premature e-WHAT?!?!?! YOU JUST SAID THAT ON NATIONAL TV!) (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose - DUH!)

25) Jason the Construction Consultant from Tennessee. He's jumping on the car too. ALREADY BEEN DONE DUDE! Ok ok - he did a flip as well as a jump. I mean, A FLIP off the limo to meet her. That was very risky... could have gone very wrong.   (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

DONE! Those are my first impressions of the men on this season's The Bachelorette. Let's see how this goes... Go Ali!

The Bachelorette Premiere - May 24 - Ali (PART THREE)

Ooooo here come the guys. I just painted my fingernails - poor planning but they're so cute and red!

1) First out is Chris, the Real Estate Developer from Canada. He kept it non-awkward and gave a kiss when he left, accompanied by a MUAH. Next is....  (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

2) Jesse from Peculiar, Missouri with a the good pickup line. "Are you ready to date a peculiar man?" (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

3) Chris from Cape Cod loves the Red Sox. I love him! (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

4) Ty from Tennesee with the cute lil accent thinks she's is beeyootiful! And thanks her a lot. Good manners. Point. (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

5) Oh my this dude Frank from Illinois (Chicago) jumped on the limo and quoted some line. I mean... I kinda liked it.  (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

Overheard in the house... "She is obviously super hot looking" - one of the guys. Classy.

6) Justin the Canadian Wrestler. RATED R! OHMYGAH! I wonder if his ankle is really broken? (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

7) Jay with the Conan hair. He said "Kiss me, thank you." Awkwarrrd. (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

8) Chris from Orlando - he's an Entrepreneur. Does he build new roller coasters? I think he pulled a rose out of thin air... magic! (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

9) Kasey the Adverising Account Exec from California. Ali she used to work in Ad Sales for Facebook so they probs have a lot in common. (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

10) Oh my, I liked Kyle the Outdoorsman in the intro video (I mean he killed a bear) but he cast mimed a fishing line to Ali and pulled her in . Throw that one back. (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

11) Roberto from Charleston! That's what I call my boyfriend secretly - I like him! My sister said she "feels a connection with him." Awesome. (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

12) Craig M. from Canada - said he didn't like Vienna. Never bring up other girls. Bad idea dude. Ali is picking up that she has a lot of Canadian boys... love that maple leaf. (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

13) John N. wants to be kept around. That's all I got from him. Bo-ring! (SPOILER: He doesn't get a rose)

14) Tyler, Online Ads, from Vermont. And he brought up Jake. NEVER BRING UP THE EX! (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

15) John C. in hotels from Washington - he is very smiley. And he got down on one knee... and it's a cubic zirconia... but he bought himself alone time. Way to play it boy.  (SPOILER: He gets a rose)

First 15 men DONE!

Now for my second coat of red finger nail polish. Woop!

The Bachelorette Premiere - May 24 - Ali (PART TWO)

"Thank you Jake for screwing up." - one of the dudes. Again, I'm live blogging the premiere so forgive any broken sentences or thoughts - but this is reallll yooooo.

How drunk do you think these guys/ gals get in the limo on the way to meet the "Star"?

I like Ali's dress, but I wish it had been sparkly. I mean you're on TV! Wear sparkles!
