I do love Valentine's Day. At least Valentine's Day 2010.
Because while all those other suckers are out spending $200 on three scallops and a teeny-tiny flourless heart-shaped chocolate tart, I'll be parked in front of my TV with a Lean Cuisine and some sugar-free chocolate pudding for this.
Amazing Race Season 16, baby! I started watching AR right about the time I moved to Birmingham. We've been through a lot together, and I'm so proud of AR's accomplishments—from nearly being canceled several times to winning all seven of the Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program since the category was created in 2003.
(I read somewhere that after the seventh Emmy win some media types—including Survivor host Jeff Probst—suggested AR remove itself from further consideration. Uh, sure. Sour grapes much?)
It is my life's dream to compete on this show before I die.
Life's. Dream.
It's probably going to take half my remaining life to find a partner who can put up with me.
I won't fare well on the nasty food challenges, but I can walk a bridge of 2 x 6s thousands of feet above a gorge and I have no problem jumping out of a 30-story tree house and flying down a cable at 70 m.p.h., so I feel like I'm a good bargain. (Please note Katie's comment on that post.)
I'm also going to get this and this for the cold cities, and I am totally wearing red and black the entire race. UGA! Represent!
(Oh yeah. I really did just type that.) 
Who wouldn't want me as a teammate? Please.
And who doesn't have a mad, mad crush on Phil Keoghan?

I take it all back

Know what makes me extra excited about this season of AR? Big Brother alums/showmance Jeff and Jordan are in the race! Now, I don't expect them to make it very far because they don't have two brain cells to rub together. But I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
Heh. You're the only person I know who watches Big Brother, but I do know how you love it so.
I'll be your partner! Love me some AR. You get to search through the hay bales though.
