1. To start with, I bought myself a pair of Align leggings on Sunday. Happy birthday to me. I mean, I ordered them online. I have no idea if I'll like them. But since so many love those darn things, I figured that if there was ever a year to try, birthday number thirty-five is it. If you can't do something now, then when?
Edited to add: I got them yesterday and they are kind of magical. That's my professional opinion so far. I have spent so much money on leggings that claim to be "like lululemon" that I figured I should just do it. I got olive green in a size 4. I never size down and prefer loose over tight so I just started with a 4. They seem to work. I'll try them on again before I decide to keep them. I didn't feel regret (just the usual shame that I spent so much money on something insignificant). If they work, it's worth it, right? I hate all my other cheap leggings right now.

4. We took Wells to Cabela's over the weekend.
5. Bachelor: Ugh, Matt James might just be the best Bachelor ever. He has a level of empathy and compassion that we've LITERALLY never seen on this show. Of course, that level of empathy is going to get him in trouble when it comes to Victoria.
Who do you like? I like Sarah. Abigail. Bri. I mean, how could you *not* like any of them? I feel like this could be a true love story-type of season.
I still prefer a good Bachelor Party recap but, if I'm in the mood for a hate-listen (and if you are too!) go check out Here to Make Friends this week! They are biggest bunch of racist, misogynist, bigoted podcasters on the recap circuit right now. They said that Matt James can't possibly be as Christian as he's appearing to be because he's black and the producers are attempting to make him more palatable. Also, he (Matt James) is playing into gender stereotypes and it feels "icky" because he's saying that a man must support, love, and care for his family.
And they can't end an episode without calling at least one white person a racist; Victoria can't just be mean and a bully and tone-deaf, she also has to be a racist. I don't like Victoria at ALL but disliking someone doesn't make them a racist. Plus, they are so lost in their own virtue-signaling echo chamber that they won't even have someone on who disagrees with them. I love when Nick Viall is on because he challenges them. This week the guest was just, literally, an echo of whatever Emma said.
Alright. I'm done. (And no, I don't subscribe but I'll pull it up for a good hate-listen every other week or so.)
