Bachelor Brad and Sweet Emily

Birdie picked the wrong night to be too tired for t.v. Last night, Bachelor Brad chose Sweet Emily over Fun Chantal on The Bachelor's season finale. In deference to Birdie, I postponed watching The Bachelor, only to stumble on this morning's The Today Show discussing the Emily-pick. So much for trying to avoid learning how riveting t.v. turns out. Early rumblings are that Brad and Emily's fairy tale ending is crumbling. If only they had met in the supermarket produce section. Brad crashes his shopping cart into Emily's somewhere around the carrots. Both smile, move on and catch each other's eye a few aisles over. Emily rushes as she has milk to buy and a school lunch to make for her daughter. Brad slips his phone number into her cart. She finds it later unloading groceries. Nothing happens for a while, then she calls him. They talk. They meet for coffee on a Saturday morning. It's a date, not a snog-fest. Not riveting t.v. But who cares.
