The Bachelor Ben's Sister Julia Flajnik

January 30, 2012
Teddy is still watching The Bachelor--she can't help it!

The women are so mean to each other, it's awful. Courtney Robertson seems determined to belittle and mock all the girls around her. Figures. Fopsie told Teddy that Courtney has dated celebrities like Jesse Metcalfe and used to go to all the Hollywood parties! Not marriage material.

The race seems to be between Courtney and Emily, below, but Teddy wishes he'd end up with Kacie B. She is a sweet Southerner who doesn't look like she'd ever hang with lame-o actors like Jesse.

Actually, the cutest girl on the show is Ben's SISTER Julia. Maybe she, not Emily Maynard, should be the next Bachelorette! Julia's on Facebook, check her out. She's an Event Coordinator at Ben's Envolve Wines.

Everyone is buzzing that Courtney is the winner. Can it be true? How can he end up with such a mean spirited woman? Teddy is stumped. She will just have to keep watching...

The Pearl Earrings

January 27, 2012
Maybe Felicia was right, thought Teddy. Maybe the pearl earrings she wore for her Halloween Grace Kelly costume need to come out.

It's been hard for Teddy to let go of them. She feels special when she dresses up. But most bears just don't wear earrings and in may ways, Teddy is a conformist.

There's one of the earrings. Finally out. Awww, Teddy will miss them.

Bye bye!

Wedding Magazines

January 26, 2012
Trying to be a good sister, Teddy invited Felicia over to look at wedding magazines.

"Felicia, I want to buy your wedding dress for you," offered Teddy. "Pick one out!"

"Why are you being so nice to me Teddy?" Felicia asked. "It's making me nervous."

"FELICIA! I'm trying to make an effort here," said Teddy. "Plus I want you to feel like a princess! I want this day to be special for you." Teddy wept a little as she said this. Felicia didn't notice. She was too busy looking at Town & Country Weddings.

The Wedding Planner

January 24, 2012
Teddy was so STUNNED by the news that her little sister Felicia was going to get hitched that she had to hibernate for a week (sorry readers). After Teddy woke up, she invited Felicia over to discuss.

"Teddy, I want to get married in your back yard," said Felicia.

"But Felicia, it's winter and the back yard is a wreck from the wind and rain," said Teddy.

"Even my hurricane lamp is a mess and I don't even know what happened to my white candle, I think it melted!" said Teddy.

"But you threw a wedding for Fopsie back here. Why can't you do the same for your own fur and blood?" said Felicia with her back turned to Teddy. Grrrr. Teddy knew Felicia had a point.

The Mean Girls Of The Bachelor

January 13, 2012
Teddy just can't believe how many mean girls are on this season's of The Bachelor with winemaker Ben F from Sonoma (sorry photo below is so dark--flash probs).

First there is crazy blogger Jenna, who reminds Teddy of all the mean cubs in her high school. Yuck. Glad she went home! (Look at those crazy eyes, zoiks!)

Then there is Courtney Robertson who plays innocent with Ben but when she's with the other contestant she shows her sharp claws. Meow! Another meanie. Don't even get Teddy started on Blakeley, who looks like a Las Vegas showgirl. Make that a RETIRED Las Vegas showgirl.

There are some decent ladies, like the one who rode in on a horse. But Teddy truly is disappointed in this crop. The last really cool Bachelor contestant was DeAnna Pappas and that was YEARS ago.

Corner Bakery Lunch

January 11, 2012
Still stunned from Felicia's news, Teddy decided to treat herself to lunch at the Corner Bakery to think it over.

"Wow, another wedding," Teddy thought to herself. "Wonder what mom will say."

"Do I have to invite mom? Who should come? Should I really make the theme pink? How will Fopsie feel? After all she used to date Edward!" All these thoughts came rushing through Teddy's furry head.

For lunch Teddy ordered a raspberry bar and a cup of coffee. Delicious!

BIG News From Felicia

January 10, 2012
As promised, Felicia came over to Teddy's house. "Teddy, I need to tell you something huge," she said.

"Edward asked me to marry him!" said Felicia. "Can you throw my wedding?"

Teddy was delighted and gave her sister a big BEAR hug. "Yes, I'll do all the work and I can't wait to get started! The theme will be PINK." Teddy LOVES throwing weddings.

"Teddy, I've been meaning to tell you--I think you should take your Halloween earrings out," added Felicia. "They just don't seem to suit you!" Hmph, thought Teddy, what does Felicia know?

Ring, Ring, Ring

January 9, 2012
This morning the phone rang.

"Hi Teddy, this is Felicia. I have some news to share. Can I come over to visit?"

"Um, of course. You're not pregnant are you?" asked Teddy.

After Felicia said, "You've been watching too much reality TV!" she let Teddy know she'd be over that evening and hung up. Teddy was stumped! What could Felicia want to tell her?

What You See's Is What You Get

January 3, 2012
Feeling guilty that she hadn't given Nibs a Christmas present, Teddy finally coughed up gift.

"Hi Nibs, I have a present for you!" said Teddy. Nibs was so shocked he dropped his book.

"Delicious See's candy Nibs!" said Teddy. "You like it?"

"Um, Teddy, there are a few pieces MISSING," said Nibs.

"Yes, Nibs, I had to test the chocolate to make sure it was OK for you. I need to test another piece again right now," said Teddy. New Year, same bear.

No 2012 Plans

January 2, 2012
Oh boy. It's already January 2. "How did that happen?" Teddy said to herself.

Sadly, she has ZERO plans on her calendar. Hmmmm, she will have to change that!

What should Teddy do this year?
