Asher Balls and Day Dreamers

In the past two days Josh and I have both been able to view two of our very favorite TV programs ever, the Superbowl and The Bachelor. Oh the difference between men and women.

The only time you'll see my husband make anything other than eggs or a sandwich is on Superbowl day. Josh is known in his group of friends as "Asher". One year he created a recipe for meatballs and brought his concoction to the Superbowl party he attended annually. They were a hit and were automatically named "Asher Balls". It has become a yearly tradition that he makes his meatballs for this party. Here he is at work:

A horrible picture of the final result:

We always watch the game in Brett's theater, the seating is cozy.

Half time was spent playing arcade games.

And everybody was thrilled toward the end of the game when something good happened (that is all I know, maybe Josh should explain what this thing was).

AAAWWWWEEEEE, The Bachelor. I LOVE this show. I know that only one out of ten couples have actually made it, the show is so produced and dramatic, and half the contestants are crazy but I still love it. I wish I could watch it every day. I am so embarrassed at how much I enjoy, and think about, this show. It is pathetic, I know.
This is what my house looks like at 8:00 on Monday nights:

Last night Brooke, Rebecca, Rachel and Seth came over for two hours of pure entertainment. I am so glad that last week Jason finally got rid of Shannon (psycho veneer girl) and Megan (the beast). Last night I was sad to see Stephanie go home. I thought he made the right choice but I was sad for her. I hope she finds someone wonderful who will love her and her little girl. I haven't made up my mind on who I am rooting for. I really like Molly, Jillian, and Melissa. I can't wait to see what happens! See, told you...obsessed.

I am a Bachelor follower as well. I thought he made the right choice getting rid of Stephanie as well,she didn't seem like a love connection for him. I think my favorite is Melissa. I think they might have the biggest connection(until next week when her family doesn't show up). But, I like all the girls that are left.

1. that super bowl house is AWESOME!
2. I LOVE your L shaped couch; except it looks more like a U shaped couch which if it is, i love it even more.

That is hilarious! The differences between men and women are amazing and as your wise husband Josh told me once "if it weren't for the potential of having sex (he meant marriage/sex) I would never hang out with a girl. Because anything I could do with a girl I could do with my friends and have more fun". So there you have it...

I need to get back into the Bachelor. It is so much more fun watching it with girlfriends though then watching it with your husband!

thanks for your comment on my blog! i love spencer and rachel and their cute family! spence has always been one of my favorite cousins.

and i love the bachelor, too. jillian is my favorite, but i also like molly. i thought stephanie had the classiest exit in bachelor history! but i'm dying to know when deanna shows up!

you'd better not let my son watch that bachelor trash!

Melissa said...

Don't worry, i am just as obsessed. Even worse, I've gotten Brandon into it. I really like Molly and Melissa. Jillian seems to go so back and forth with her feelings and Jason really seems like he needs someone who is stable with where they stand. I was also sad to see Stephanie go but the connection was clearly not there. You could tell that Jason wanted there to be a connection, I'm glad that he let her go though, she is such an amazing women that she needs to be out there finding that amazing man who would fit right in with her.

We're just grooming Seth for when we nominate him to be on!

We LOVE the Bachelor at the Grubbs household!!! Last season with Matt and Shayne was the first one we watched and now we're hooked!!! I make Tim watch it with me and he just laughs watching Jason make out with everyone : ) We liked Stephanie a lot, her chubby little girl was darling, but it took us a minute to warm up to her. I think we want Melissa to win, we don't know if Jillian will bail on him. But she sure can come decorate my house!!!

p.s. I love your potato plant!!!

Brittany and Johnse said...

We should get all the PMTS girls together for sure! I would definitely have time for that :) I leave in 12 days so it would have to be soon!!

Angie said...

OH man, I love the Bachelor too! I'm glad I'm not the only one who think I'm so pathetic for loving it so much. I'm not sure who I want either. I was sad too when Stephanie got booted, but it didn't seem like they were a good fit to me. Can't wait to see the one where DeAnna comes back! I can't stand her, but it will make for good tv!

Trevor and Shelby said...

I'm afraid to say that I too am guilty of being a Bachelor addict. Hope your husband doesn't sit off to the side and chant "De-Anna! De-Anna! De-Anna!"

Trevor and Shelby said...

Thanks! Yeah Dallas Dahl is a hoot and am sure he enjoys you just as much as he enjoys the other "Pikers". haha. You know it was a big bummer last week cuz I was rooting for both Jillian and Melissa. Molly seems to be a bit much, but we'll see tonight. Stupid Deanna.
