With Ali Fedotowsky just a week away from revealing her much-anticipated final pick on The Bachelorette 2010, Monday’s men tell all reunion show provided a break from the usual season 6 grind and served as a fun lead-in to the finale. Here’s a peek at all of the snark and surprises from the Man Pack, but be forewarned: It’s meaty, confusing, forward-sideways-backward stuff!

Chris Harrison opened up The Bachelorette 2010 men tell all with some pre-taped one-on-one time with Ali. The first subject of discussion? Justin ‘Rated R’ Rego, one of season 6’s biggest douchebags. While Ali confessed to falling for his charming facade, she went on to say that she pursued him as he fled her in Turkey in order to make a statement to women who find themselves in similar situations. Right-o. Chris moved on to Kasey (of the ‘guard and protect your heart’ motto). She was clearly less than impressed by his weirdness. And then, it was Kirk-time. She remarked on the importance of his first-episode scrapbook and confessed that his dad’s basement – complete with tons of ’stuffed animals’ – was freaky deaky. Finally, tough-time as Chris brought up Frank. Ali admitted that she’d been excited about their day and that she’d thought all along that he was in love with her. Regardless of the heartache, she said she was pleased with her journey and all of her choices.

After a break, The Bachelorette men tell all returned with some unseen season 6 footage. The first clip featured a baseball uniform clad Roberto nearly popping Ali in the eye with a champagne cork. I give it a 5 out of 10 on the funny scale. Up next was a totally random bum toast from Frank’s dad that made zero sense. It was very amusing. Meh heh. Seven out of 10. Ali ggigled a lot next as Chris showed her footage of herself wearing some sort of funky astronaut’s helmet while on a date with Kasey. But that’s not all when it came to weirdness: Apparently Roberto and Ali often found themselves accompanied by various animals, all named Charlie. Uh… yeah. And then they addressed the most mysterious members of the Man Pack: Chris N., nicknamed The Phantom by his fellow xy’ers. Sweet!

It wouldn’t be a men tell all reunion without the men, right? Jesse, Hunter, Jyle, Tyler V., Craig R., John C., Derrick, Jason, Steve, Chris N., Kirk, Jonathan, Kasey, and Ty joined Chris for the evening’s first tell-all gossip session. Shockingly (not!), Justin wasn’t present, nor was Frank, but Chris assured us that the latter would be on the after the rose show next week. Craig R. got the chit chat started by confessing that the experience with The Bachelorette 2010 was nothing like he’d ever imagined. Phantom Chris called that first night “intense”, and then rose to his feet to reveal his “The Phantom” t-shirt. And then he took the first bazooka shot at Justin, woot! Gotta love it! I knew that guy wasn’t the enormous stuffed shirt he’d always seemed to be. Sch-weet. Then there was a segment featuring lots of scenes from the show and lots of cussing and beeping.

And women are accused of being drama queens! The guys got into it on-stage when Jonathan defended his long talk with Ali early on in the show. The weatherman should totally do stand-up. He has a priceless goofball air. He’ll fit in nicely on Bachelor Pad. The conversation turned to Kasey. Ty called him “Looney Toon” but acknowledged his genuineness, and Craig R. defended him. He said he was crazy, but that he’s a good guy. Meh heh. And then it was Bash le Justin time. Phantom Chris called him “a little fame whore”, and the other guys had some equally colorful monikers for season 6’s most hated character. (Phew, it’s hard to keep up!)

After a break, The Bachelorette men tell all show returned with a little ‘Frank’ discussion. Man, it’s almost heartbreaking to even think about it; I really liked the goofy stressball, conflicted feelings and sudden dumpage aside. The studio was silent after the clip ended; wow. Craig spoke first, and insisted that Justin and Frank were nothing alike. (Go Craig!) John C. differed, calling him selfish. Ty cut in and called the whole situation “a shame”. Hunter said he thought Frank really did love Ali, and that he had “a great chance” of winning. Kasey said he loved Frank, but that “he took the safe way out”. Huh. Ty went on to say that after seeing all of the footage, he thought Frank was selfish. Aw. I still maintain that despite Ali’s tears and her frustrations, Frank wound up doing the only thing he could do. He was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. I just hope that no one actually equates him with Rated R. THAT would be a travesty.

Anyway, Chris then called Krazy Kasey up for a little one-on-one time. He praised Ali’s decision to reject him when she did. (Well, that’s good.) Kasey went on to claim that he’d never been a particularly open person prior to appearing on The Bachelorette. Uh, yeah. Even my listening-from-the-other-room hubby snickered aloud at that one. Despite the weirdness, Kasey said he was always himself. (Huh? How does that equate with what he just said about not being open before…? Color me confused.) As for the tattoo, he said that “it is what it is” and praised himself for being “a good memory” for Ali. Oh, and he looked forward to guarding and protecting the heart of his future wife. Methinks he’s auditioning for husbandry roles here. But anyhoo.

The Bachelorette week 10 returned as Chris called Kirk to the hot seat. Kirk claimed that he was in love with her when she dismissed him. He called the moment “frustrating” and was upset that he’d been beaten by Frank. Aw. It was a sad little segment. He seems like such a genuine guy. But it’s okay, Kirk: Up next was more Justin bashing. Like milk, it does a body goooood.

The Justin Fest began with Ty’s rhetorical question: “How could 25 guys be wrong?” Craig went on to call him “evil” and Jonathan recalled hearing him say “I guess I’m gonna be the villain this season”. Ty shared that in Iceland, the Man Pack had shared some personal things about one another, and that he felt betrayed that Justin had taken part in the love fest. Craig denied being a friend of Justin or “an extension of his family”, and went on to call him a colorful expletive. Man, the Man Pack was pissed. It would’ve been fun to see them string him up on TV, but we can’t have it all.

The Justin saga continued as Chris called Jessie, from the Jake Pavelka Bachelor season, to the stage. Jessie was the chick who called Ali to spill the beans about Justin’s scheme. She shared not only the story of Jessica, but that of Kimberly, the gal Justin cheated on Jessica with (got that?). It was all very hairy and smarmy. He’s still a dog. A big, gross dog. Chris opened up the mic to studio audience bashing, blah blah. In a very odd moment, an attractive brunette addressed Craig and appeared to hit on him, but Craig didn’t seem to notice. Huh?! Dude, get that girl’s number!

After a break, The Bachelorette week 10 resumed as Ali Fedotowsky herself took to the stage wearing yet another hideous frock, this time a bizarre silvery contraption that resembled a potato sack in form. (Don’t get me started on the hair.) She said she was pleased with the way she handled Rated R. Overall, she said the hardest part of the show was getting rid of the guys and saying good-bye. She called the Tahiti episode “rock bottom” and still seemed to smart a bit over what happened with the stressball. Chris asked if she wished she’d taken Kirk instead of Frank, and she didn’t really answer the question. No regrets? Hope not. Kirk thanked her for being part of his process of finding love, and then Kasey brought the house down (okay, well, induced giggling) with another special song. Up next was a compilation of funny moments; ha ha ha. Yawn. (It’s late.)

With most of the chit chat completed, taped segments detailing the journeys with finalists Roberto and Chris L. aired. While I think she’ll pick Roberto and I think he’s probably a nice guy, I so hate the thought of Chris getting hurt. He seems so sweet and genuine.

So that’s it for The Bachelorette week 10: The men tell all. Tune in next week for the finale and see who winds up with blondie once and for all.

Each year, people everywhere scramble to remember the date of Mothers Day. Just keep in mind that it’s always the second Sunday of May. Traditionally moms are showered with flowers and gifts, although there are many ways to to express our love for those special women in our lives.

For those planning a traditional Mother’s Day, try ordering mom a large, extravagant corsage that she can enjoy wearing to church or brunch. If your mother isn’t the type for a corsage, purchase a lovely bouquet of her favorite flowers. Flowers can also be used to create beautiful centerpieces for a dining room table. Simply inter-space vases of flowers with pictures of mom with her children and grandchildren. The final touch is to place small candles around the outside edges of your centerpiece. (These really pull the look together, and you’ll love the glow of the candle light off the framed photos!)

Gifts are a huge part of Mother’s Day traditions, and each family has their own of idea the Perfect Gift. This can be anything from jewelery or flowers to a new car! In my family, it’s a running gag to see who can make mom the teariest on her special day. The more sentimental the better, we try to outdo one another in making mom cry over her gifts. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, prefers to try her hand at winning cash from scratch off lottery tickets or a few rounds of Keno at the local bar. She never, ever wants flowers. Make sure you tailor the gift to the woman in question, and you’ll always have a hit on your hands!

Adults seeking unique gifts for Mother’s Day should get creative: Try pulling together a powerpoint slide show featuring your mother, her family, and all of the special people in her life. Make sure to include music, photos, and video outlining the most humorous and heart-tugging moments of her life. For example, include the photo of her holding her first grandchild in the hospital, and the digital video of her falling off the dock into the lake last summer. If you burn the slide show to dvd, mom can take it home and enjoy it anytime she wishes. Remember that laughter and fond memories are the best gifts of all.

If your young child is looking for a Mother’s Day gift, have them create certificates of honor, or special achievement awards. (Think “World’s Best Mommy”). These can be created by hand on parchment paper, or designed on a computer. Whatever way the child chooses to make the award, it’s certain to appreciated by the recipient! A group of children can also work together to present a talent show, a skit, or a special Mother’s Day poetry reading. A customized show like this combined with a handmade gift or card will melt any mom’s heart. (Are all of you husbands and fathers paying attention?)

Mother’s Day doesn’t need to break the bank, it just needs to touch the heart. Make sure mom gets plenty of hugs and kisses on her special day, with a huge helping of gratitude! Remind her of all the ways she has touched your life. It’s important to remember that Mother’s Day isn’t just about saying “I love you, mom”, but showing it through thoughtful gifts and kind words. Finally, make sure that YOU clear the table after dinner, and don’t even let mom think about washing the dishes!

Last year, my husband and I finally decided to do the grown up thing and send out Holiday cards with our daughters’ photo inside. We don’t really have the money to go have professional photos taken so we decided to do it ourselves. The process is a little time consuming but well worth the effort. In writing this there is the assumption that anyone looking to go this route has some degree of computer savvy. If that is not the case, nearly anything on earth can be Googled.

We took pictures of our daughter dressed in her Holiday dress. The dress was one of my nieces’ old dresses so we saved the cost of buying a brand new dress. We used a blanket for our backdrop and had a stuffed reindeer as a prop. If you are looking to get a group photo, most cameras have a timer. I personally don’t like having my picture taken so I just photograph my daughter. Now, we used a digital camera to take the pictures but you could even use your phone if you have an SD card. The great thing about doing the photographing your self is the flexibility and control you have over all the aspects of the picture-taking process. You decide the time and the place and you get to be involved in the process.

So now the next step would be to load the pictures on your computer and make sure you have everything needed to complete the process. We used photo paper and downloaded Photoscape to touch up the pictures. Photoscape is a free download that you can use to “doctor” photos and add different effects to photos. The first time using this program can be a little confusing. I would recommend playing around with it to get used to all the options. I, myself, will not put a single photo online or send a photo without using the “blur” effect first. All it does is smooth out your skin, but if you have acne, it really makes a difference. Another useful tool is the mole remover. I’ve used this to remove anything from scratches my daughter made on her face to acne on my face. Play around and see what works for you.

Finally, print the pictures out on the picture paper that works best with your printer. I fill out my Holiday cards and put the pictures I’ve done inside. I know this all sounds like a lot of trouble but you can definitely save money and time this way. No waiting for photos to come in or paying extra for airbrushing. I especially like that if my darling angel of a child has a meltdown there is no one around to witness the embarrassment. I can’t say how many times I’ve walked past the photo shop in the mall and heard a child wailing at the top of their lungs. It seems very stressful to me.

This is a relatively inexpensive and pain-free way to send memories to loved ones. It can also be a very fun and creative experience for your family. I plan on doing this again this year and look forward to doing it next year. The information in this article is just a guideline that I hope makes this process a little easier and enjoyable. Happy Holidays to everyone.
