It’s almost time: football season + NCAA 2013
There are very few things I love about the Fall season. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I don't tolerate mild or cold weather at all! I'd take 100+ degree temps and humidity any day over a crisp, cool breeze. But since I live in the midwest {for now}…

TV train wreck.
The newest season of The Bachelor is back again, and so is Ben — last year's runner-up of The Bachelorette. A group of us started a "Bachelor-watching" tradition last season but this year someone suggested we do something with a twist. So, tonight a few of us gathered at my…
