I feel like I'm in a major blog funk right now. I don't even really know why, other than I'm just focused on other things. I'm trying to stay motivated in my journey to get healthy (it sucks and I'm easily discouraged when the numbers don't go down) and I'm also trying to juggle two dogs instead of one (it also sucks and puppies are hard, especially ones that chew holes in the wall). There was also that time that my Grandparents moved into an assisted living facility so the rest of the family had to get their house ready to sell, and ultimately have a war over who got what in the house. That was fun, except not really even a little bit.
I want to say that I'm not trying to make excuses, but I guess I kind of am huh? Needless to say, I feel like a big blog slacker lately and I don't always want to churn out a post just so one is there to read.. especially if it's going to suck. So I'm trying, and you'll just have to forgive me if you feel like this piece of the internet isn't as entertaining as it usually is. A part of me wants to step away and take a break for a bit, but another part knows that would be impossible. So we will just fall somewhere in the middle.
Today I have some things that I'd like to give the side eye too. Old school Lauren Conrad style, natch.
Gavin DeGraw
Sigh, gush, gasp. Yes, it's true. I just don't really know what he's doing lately. I mean rumor has it that he's making new music and I hope that's true. I need a new reason to love him all over again. Things I can do without? His weird tweets and his even weirder Instagram pictures. Don't be a creep Gav. Please, I beg you. You're almost 40, it's not cute.
Erin Condren Gold Edition Life Planners
Just in case spending $50 on a planner isn't enough for you, now you can spend $75 and get a planner with hand placed gold leaf. I'm sorry, what? Don't worry you can also add a bunch of unnecessary things like stickers, pens, and notepads to your gold leaf planner that will make it cost over $100. That's pretty expensive for a giant pile of paper that doesn't fit in your purse. So, no.
Mistresses
Y'all should know that I watch a lot of TV and a lot of embarrassing TV. Take VH1's show Model Employee. I started watching because Chrissy Teigen is the host but it's a ridiculous show. Basically they are making models do jobs that even I would never do, like going through trash, swimming with sharks, or cutting off rat heads. It's nasty, but it's so entertaining. I also am one of the 10 people in the world that watch The Client List on Lifetime. So you know it takes a lot for me to say a show is bad. Well ABC's new show Mistresses is where I draw the line. It reminds me of a terrible soap opera and not in a good way. Also besides Alyssa Milano who are these actresses and where did they come from? It's trashy, so no thank you.
White Water Rafting
When my Mom suggested that we go on a family outing to Glenwood Springs to do this I thought.. sure why not? Now that it's quickly approaching the weekend that we are going, I'm sort of freaked out about it. I mean I am in no way an outdoors loving girl and we've been getting a decent amount of rain in Colorado so now I'm convinced that I'm going to drown. I wonder if it's a possibility for me to stand on the sidelines and take pictures? Doubtful. Pray for my safety friends. See also: I am such a pansy.
Creepy Dudes at the Gym
Just once I'd like to go to the gym, do my workout, and NOT get ogled by creepy men. It's literally what makes me not want to do anything in the weight area. I'm about to go and sign up at Curves. Okay not really, but yesterday I was getting so mad. If I'm using something, don't ask me when I'm gonna be done. Just don't. When I'm done, you'll know it because guess what? I won't be using it anymore. Also, I have headphones in for a reason. PS. If you're hot you can ask me any question you want, duh.
I hope you've all enjoyed this snark fest, and if not..

1. I am one of the 10 people that watch The Client List. I'm not sure how I got started on it, but I did last season. And I'll watch it On Demand now. Currently, I'm 2 episodes behind. I thought my life might be over, but I told myself the other day "Beth, J. Love is gonna get back with her husband and still no one will ever know about her "secret" as many times as they make you believe someone will find out."
2. Mistresses - as I watched The Bachelorette the other night with a friend we were both like "they are making a show about this?!" isn't that kind of glorifying it? making it look sexy?
3. whitewater rafting. no. just no. i've done it twice in my life. I love the water and I love boats, but I do NOT love getting soaking wet while wearing clothes or getting dumped in wild rapids. the last time I did it, was last year, b/c some reps invited us to do it. the boat turned all the way over and I thought I was going to die.
4. sorry this comment was the longest every in history.
hahahahha oh my gosh, Kristin Wiig is my FAVORITE. Also, love the LC side eye.
Mistresses looks SO terrible...I'm glad you agree ;)
Don't fret -- I survived white water rafting and I was NOT put on this planet to rough it. For me, "nature" means "not wearing makeup". So. YOU WILL BE FINE. It's actually really fun - you can probably even count it as gym time that day! :)
Kristen Wiig makes anything funny. Bridesmaids is one of my all time fav movies...and I will be the first to confess that I miss Laguna Beach...
I once had a guy at the gym tell me, "you tall as shit" as if that was some sort of pick up line. Clearly that one didn't work out so well.
I LOVE rafting! It's so much fun! Just hold on tight and laugh at how ridiculous everyone else looks too.
Mistresses... no. I watched half of the pilot last night and it was waaaaaay worse than I had expected. I predict it gets cancelled after 3 episodes. It's. so. Terrible.
You're going to LOVE white water rafting! I was super nervous before I went as well and ended up having a blast. It's so exhilerating and definitely an experience you'll never forget.
P.S. You're NOT going to drown, but you WILL have a ton of fun and be so glad you went ;)
haha i never think you are in a funk. really. you always be one of my faves forever and ever. and white water rafting?! wow.
Gym Creeps, overly take the cake of side eyes.
I hate them, and usually make really ugly faces back.
Enough is enough, back the eff down old geezer.
I agree with those ladies.. You are going to LOVE White water rafting. It was so much fun. Be safe!
BTW: take your time but don't leave us!
I am one of those 10 people who watches "The Client List" I love it and I can't stop watching it. Now I have my husband watching it with me and he constantly says "whhhy am i watching this crap?" haha.
Who calls their show 'Mistresses' and thinks that people are going to watch it?? Hello trash tv! Gah! I will watch The Client List too if its on...I wonder if they are going to write her pregnancy into the show!
i'm totes in a blog funk, too. at least you're still posting...
holy schnikes! 75 bones?!? that's legit crazy. i did see this new gold edition, but had no clue they were charging for actual gold. unfortunately, i did buy an ec planner and i never regret my purchases (hello shopaholic!) but this one i do. i've probably looked at it twice this year. not jokin.
and white water rafting!!? you couldn't pay me to do this. i give you MAJOR props. i would totally cry.
Hey Sami,
I agree. That ABC show looks like absolute garbage! *Eye Roll* I mean do we really want to promote and sell "mistresses"? I'm about to be married and the last thing I want to watch with my fiance is a show about cheating husbands and mistresses. Puh-lease.
Our society is already filled with enough cheating and cheaters as it is.
Pure garbage. Let's just go ahead and pull that one off the air before ABC embarrasses themselves.

i watch so much trashy TV but and saw the previews of mistresses but I just can't! I also hate creepy dudes at the gym...the creep me out, which is why i stay home and work out! I miss Laguna Beach and the Hills!
I'm so glad everyone thinks Mistresses is bad! I know all tv has bad stuff, but glorifying adultery is insane!
Also, I love reading your posts and they always make me smile.
Have fun this weekend!!!
I love the Client List. Its one of my favorite shows! And the other day I was watching it and I told my hubs that I wish she would date Kyle in real life and then BAM she's prego by him! Cray. And FYI I just saw on twitter that Laguna and the Hills are going to be back on MTV this summer!
I love The Client List too haha, will not be checking gout Mistresses, wth? :-/
YAY for bad tv! Kristen Wigg at the end made my day. I'm in a blog funk but I think I was literally so bored writing it. Yours was entertaining as always!!!
but no really, creepy dudes are the worst. and it really grinds me gears when they don't take our workouts as seriously and except us to not use the equipment or not take as long, when they just spend 37mins using the bench for 2 sets.
Good to know you nixed Mistresses. I've been meaning to check it out. I have terrible taste in TV but it definitely sounds like that one is too much of a stretch.
Oh my gosh I LOATHE the creepers at the gym!!! What about me sweating and sighing and turning beet red in the face says 'please creep on me, pretty please'? Gross.
Ugh I am so with you about the creepy dudes at the gym. However, what's worse are the douchebags that sit on the weight bench AND WATCH TV. Like, go home dude.
Also... not to scare you but my best friend went white water rafting in the alps today and got thrown into 45 degree water. They pulled her out really quickly, but she said it was horrifying! You got some maaaaajor balls if you wind up doing it!
I struggle with the weight thing too. I hate tryin so hard and not seeing physical results. If one more person says it's not about the number it's about you feel I will punch them in throat. NO joke.
Oh god, because we all need a planner hand laced in gold.
You had me rolling with this post. SO true about the creepy gym guys. I hate that! Its like walking into a meat market. I have some pretty great stories. P.S. loving the cinderella .gif
a planner for over $100 - whaaaaat? apparently I should've invented expensive paper products. and I hate creepos at the gym too. headphones = don't talk to me. haha.

-- jewelry giveaway
Oh LC.
And re: blogging, do what feels right I say. Whatever that is! This is supposed to be fun right?
I am also one of the 10 to watch client list! And I agree with Mistresses. I tried watching the first 10 minutes, got confused on who was who, and realized literally the point of the show is sex...only sex nothing else. Not okay!
Second the comment on the Erin Condren planners. I love me a good planner but for crying out loud, $50+? My planner goes every.where. with me, in and out of my purse all day long. Anything more than like $12 for an 18-month planner is nowhere near reasonable.
You should consider trying to find a women's gym if you have one nearby! I signed up for one when I first started going because I felt more comfortable there. And a lot of ladies do more cardio than weights so they were pretty much always open!
Yes to all of these!! $75 for an EC planner?? Wtf. I don't care that the process is more expensive-- what I do care about is that I'm not paying that kind of money for a damn calendar...
I splurged after Christmas on an EC planner and I LOVE it, truly do :) I use it everyyyy day and I'm obsessed. I always get $$ for Christmas from Grandma's, so I felt like it was a 'treat' to myself!
My family went white-water rafting a few years ago and I LOVED IT! I was scared at first, but had so so SO Much fun!
The Client List I havent watched. I've watched bits and pieces of trailors of it but cant watch on life time which blows. Oh well.
and Mistresses' I wasnt gonna watch but it's good. Everyone likes what they like.
I watch Bachelorette and Bachlor and other reality shows.
Everyone is different and THANK GOD FOR THAT.
I'm just glad I"m not only one that doesn't like the EC planner. I bought one. Got it. And now I'm like 1. this thing literally weighs 5 pounds and 2. it's weighing down my already heavy handbag. The only additional weight that is acceptable in a handbag is it's hardware.
Whoa, only 10 people watch The Client List?! I love that show! But I do love my TV. And I never even heard of EC until I started blogging (2mos ago) and I don't even understand it. My $5 planner from Walmart works just fine :)

I love your snark! Keep it coming!
Also, THANK YOU for saying something about Erin Condren stuff. Yes, it's cute but WOW is it pricey! Unnecessary!
That Mistresses show looks horrid. Is there any real point to it besides everyone having sex all the time. I mean I love trashy tv -heck, I watch Bad Girls Club - but I agree with you. It just looks awful.
love the snark! hope you had a great weekend, lady.
Glad to see someone is blogland isn't obsessed with erin condren :) Yes they look awesome, but that price tag is harsh, especially since some bozo usually spills coffee on mine mid-year and I have to replace it.
My Erin Condren planner fits in my purse... Does that mean my purse is too big? haha
Don't worry about the funk. Give yourself a day off or something without guilt. Blogging is better when the writer is refreshed :).
I watch a lot of bad tv too (love client list) but hated mistresses as well. It seemed liked it was trying way too hard!
