Hello everyone! I have had a crazy schedule lately, so I'm sorry I missed blogging last episode! I'm glad I did though, because this week church really put things in perspective for me.
It is so easy for me to lash out after seeing an episode where hateful accusations are made about me and hurtful words are thrown around. I've openly admitted that it is difficult sometimes for me to keep my mouth shut after watching one of those episodes, especially after getting beat up. But when it's all said and done, I have to answer to Him one day, and when the day comes that I stand before Him, I want to look back and know that I did everything I could to please Him. Easter is next week, and THAT is what is important.
I debated whether or not I should even watch Episode 7, knowing I was about to see myself unconscious under the knife. However, my curiosity overruled the rest of me, and I sat on the chair with a pillow over my face, gasping and groaning through each part of the surgery. It's THE most surreal experience I've ever had. . .watching Dr. Niccole break my nose, watching myself being poked and prodded. ICK! I don't remember anything in this episode, including Jim wheeling me out of the surgery center or arriving home — so it almost seems like it was all a dream. I don't even remember the part where Jim came in and put peas over my eyes, but I have to say that was the cutest thing ever! Are we in 1950 though? Frozen peas for an ice pack instead of the cute pink ice bag I had!?! He totally cracked me up with his comment about telling the kids that dinner was on Mommy's face! That's hilarious! Jim can think of the funniest things to say in difficult moments. He was so great throughout my recovery -- always checking in on me, bringing me soup, keeping the kids calm around, laying around watching movies with me, bringing me magazines, cracking jokes whenever possible, which reminded me that laughter truly is the best medicine. He is the love of my life and my best friend! Thanks for putting up with me babe.
Are you under the impression that people can only have ONE friend? You might have 10 friends, but connect a little more with one in particular. So give Gretchen a break - there are other people in her life other than you.
And what is it with you women constantly using the term "you've got to have my back". You women beat that term to death!
Happy Holy Week to you and your family. You are very classy and fun. It is rewarding to know Bravo has a person who lives in the moment. Luv jim he needs to make more appearances.
Glad your surgery was successful and you're able to breathe easily now. I know what you're going through and this time of year is the worst for it. Hope you're finally able to full enjoy the outdoors this time of year!
Glad we are getting to see more of Jim this season. I don't blame him for not wanting to be around the "ladies" but I like seeing the two of you as a couple.
wow...is there a surgery to help get rid of jealousy. Heather is everything you want to be...and never will. Jesus doesnt like ugly..and passive aggressive blogs like yours are sure ugly. Can't hide behind your faith, God KNOWS who you truly are sweetie!
Happy Easter ALEXIS to You and your wonderful family! I am happy your surgery went well, I cringed also while watching so I do understand your meaning. I too am over the moon happy for Brianna, it was a miracle, a blessing from the Lord. Your entire blog was joyful and loving. It was so nice to read. Again Happy Holiday ...enjoy! Peace
Yes, you said a mouthful. "Briana's surgery made yours seem like a piece of cake". You need to chant that every day. If Jim was so solicitous toward you during your time of need and discomfort, why were so perturbed by Gretchen's absence? She has business to run and can't come over and hold your hand every time YOU expect it. Personally, when you surgery was flashed on the screen, I channel surfed. It was TMI and awful to watch. You showing Gretchen what came out of your nose was in a word: G R O S S. Really, really disgusting. I don't care or want to know what came out of your nose. I will take your advice and "Keep Believing". I do believe you remain an immature, selfish, vain.
I've always liked you Alexis, but I find myself being even MORE on your side with each new episode simply because I can't stand to watch Tamra and her pets insult you. She called YOU an idiot?! That's classic, considering she's got the most limited vocabulary of anyone on the show (except for the vulgarities, which are 2nd nature to her). I hope you take her words with a grain of salt.....she'd be the LAST person whose opinion I'd care about. Tacky, Tashy & Vile....she is the epitome of all that, while you are so sweet and ladylike. I'm surprised that Gretchen waited 5 days to visit you after yor surgery! Wow....if my best friend did that I would be hurt, too. I TRULY hope she's reconsidered her friendship with Tamra by now. No good can come from hanging around with garbage.
Glad your surgery if over with..looks great! Now, shut up about it and move on the more you try to explain the less people care. You are only fueling fuel to the fire..it is your life, nose, do what you want and leave Tamara out of it. Just move on. Good luck to you.
I have had my nose replaced twice and I was up and about after 1 to 2 days. I can't believe how much you milked this. Get over yourself. You looked like a wimp during these episodes.
Glad that your surgery was a success!! Anyone doubting that you could not breath easily only has to remember the snot rocket they pulled out of your sinus cavity!! AND as long as you were under why not fix the bump in your nose?? Makes sense to me! Why go under twice when you only have to do it once? Hope you and your family have a good Easter!
Seriously Alex...YOU HAD A NOSE JOB! The way you acted one would think that you had a face transplant. Grow up! Stop being such a ditz! Everyday people face medical procedures that are NOT optional...that are often life or death situations and they handle them with grace and elegance. Instead of acting like a princess you should try and be a role model. Brianna at her young age is more of a grownup than you'll ever be. Get a grip.
I love Alexis!!! More shows should show people who are not afraid to talk about the goodness of Jesus!!!
I know that all surgeries can be dangerous, however, could you please give it a break already. The worst that could have happened to you was that you'd still be stuck with the same nose and personality. Oops, they can't change your personality so it's a win/lose situation. You may be a holy roller but you certainly are not a real christian. I've yet to view a more self-absorbed, delusional person.
Alexis, I think you were very brave to get your sinuses done! I would have done the same thing....get the nose done at the same time! I was cringing when the bandages came off, but the final result is awesome! You look beautiful! I dont know what it is about Gretchen this season, but she seems very different than the past seasons. Cant put my finger on it except that she almost is beginning to sound a bit more like Vicki....even in the way she treats Slade! I also thought that it seemed that she really has loved being friends with you, but when Tamara extended the olive branch of friendship, she couldnt resist...it seemed as though Tamara offers her a bit more excitement in their friendship..and they can party together since they are both single or something. She definitely has gotten colder this season and it is sad to see how it is starting to hurt you. You dont deserve any of it because you are the sweetest! Hang in there!
I think it's so easy for you to lash out at others because that's truly the type of person you are. Please quit trying to make excuses WEEKLY for your behavior. Saying rude things to others on air is one thing, but to come and attack others in a blog is entirely different. When others attack you in an episode, I think viewers understand you defending yourself. When you sit down to write your blog, the situation changes. Everything you write down is (hopefully) thought out and scrutinized before it goes live for all to see! There are no excuses for your comments in your blogs!!!! Your true character comes out in your blog and it's not pretty!!!
ONCE AGAIN...attacking Heather in your blog about taking a helicopter to LA is childish and petty!!! Aren't you the person who has an assistant drive her to a ONE day a week "job?" You are oozing with jealousy!!!! How pathetic!!!!! I think you have FAR surpassed Lynne for the most vacuous Housewife EVER!!!
a rabbit trail of cotton balls.that is so funny and such a great ideal.your hubby boo should be your BFF i call my hubby of 30 years boo sometimes.it just pops out of my mouth.seems so normal.well normal for us girls anyway.you are a good wife and mother.can not wait to see the so called camping trip.looks like vicki and bri are there to.i think that airs in 2 weeks.dr. oz and tonight on all stars bravo.hope to see you and vicki.god bless all you women.please print this bravo for lex.o alexis i wanted to say we love unconditional but do not have to put up with being bullyed or being treated bad just because we are christians.new movie comming out called bully.i hope tamra can see it along with any other housewives that think bullying is a funny game to play.in the end well and the beggining not so funny.are teens and all ages have taken there lives.watch and learn some kindness.luv bellinos
PLEASE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alexis, If you really want to learn how to take the "high road"...you should read Heather's blog!!!! It's amazing how you continue to take jabs at her weekly on your blog yet she didn't even mention you in hers this week. It's called "class"....you should get some.
You are so jealous of anyone who has more than you. why do you care that they took a helicopter to LA? Being a Christian woman you should be happy that the others are doing well not criticizing.
I am so glad your surgery came out so well. You look great and hats off to you for proving to the haters that you were ill. I recently had the same thing done and it is no picnic. The surgery was bad enough and the recovery took a lot longer than the doctor tells you it will. Have a blessed Easter season.
I have never commented on any blog before but wanted to because sinuses are the worst. I have had surgery once and my good friend has to have them every year just about. The pain makes me want to cut my face off. I'm sorry that Tamra thinks it was just cosmetic. I hope she apologizes to you for putting the surgery in quotes like it was just cosmetic reasons. If they don't suffer from bad sinsuses they don't know what it's like.
So you have to answer to "Him" one day. Wonder how "He " feels about your behavior. You talk poorly behind the women's backs every single episode. You offer backhanded compliments...Vicki is loving and overbearing is a good example. Thank you for finally admitting that part of wanting the surgery was to look good on TV...knew it all along. Stop showing people your snot...low class. Looks like you make an ass out of yourself yet again on your tiny news segment next episode. Cannot wait to see it. Please leave the show so Bravo can get Peggy back...and drop the high school jealousy over Gretchen and Tamra's friendship...maybe Gretchen is just tired of your holier than thou attitude and wants to have some fun. UGH
Fans? Really? Normal people doing a reality show should not consider people watching their show as "fans". You are just a person that espouses religion but are contradictory in everything you do. Plastic. But you are young, with a young family. Our viewpoints do change. Don't get caught up in all that nonsense.
Alexis, You realize when Gretchen finally came to visit you 5 days after your Rhinoplasty you were acting like you were on deaths door then 2 seconds later you brought up Tamra and miraculously pop up had the energy to bitch about Tamra and whip out evidence to defend your ridiculous reason for a nose job. Wait, I thought you were in so much pain and agony? Why were you even wasting your precious recovery time to bring that up to Gretchen? Oh, thats right... you are a fake jealous drama queen. Looks like Gretchen and Tamra get along quite well and it's eating you up. I can't feel sorry for you. I am just not buying it. You are disingenuous. Bravo please spare your viewers and replace Alexis!
you should have taken a lesson from briana. after all you have had 3 children, and you could not handle the nose surgery pain. and if you were really suffering and out of it for 10 days, why did matter that gretchen came to see you 5 days in?really you need to get over the fact that everything is not about you.
Dear Dear Alexis, Every episode i roll my eyes at the ignorance that comes out of your mouth. However, after your "sinus surgery" i had to let it out. You complain about the pain you were in after surgery and stated to Gretchen that if you knew it was going to be this bad, you wouldn't have done your sinuses...Honey, your in pain because of your NOSE JOB, not simply correcting a deviated septum. I had my deviated septum corrected yrs ago and had no black eyes or swelling. Stop saying that your in pain because of your sinus surgery, cause its sooo not the case! Woman up and be honest. No one gives a rats ass that you had a nose job. Be an advocate for women and lay it all out on the table instead of hiding behind the poor me facade. It's so old!!
Child PLZ! You didn't have sinus surgery to help clear up your passage ways.. you had it as a legit reason to get the cosmetic end taken care of. I had sinus surgery at 27 years old. I had ZERO% air flow through my left nostril. I opt'd not to get any cosmetic work done because then I wouldn't be me. I wouldn't be the spunky Italian girl who God created. Take a page from your own girlfriend. I am catholic to the core. I went to catholic school through to graduate school and anyone who has sat in church and listened knows that you don't flash your alms giving. I come from a long line of overly religious Italians who pray to Mary and God as they are our BFF's.
You are beautiful Alexis! My father also had to have the same surgery to clear his sinuses! For 56 years of his life he had to use NUMEROUS sprays, antibiotics and was always breathing loudly through his mouth. When he had been advised several times by his doctor, he finally decided at the age of 56 to go through with his surgery. I cannot express to anyone the pain I had to see my poor father go through while caring for him after his surgery. It is not a joke or a "minor" surgery!!! He said after the surgery that he wished he would have just done it years ago, it was THAT relieving! Let these haters motivate you girl! You're beatiful, successful, have a beatiful family and flourishing/faithfull marriage!! Of course people are going to be jealous! Tamra Barney is so jealous of you that I truly feel bad for her, and you should too! Jealousy like hers truly is a sickness. Hope she gets well soon!

Happy Easter Alexis! So glad to see more of u and Jim together. I understand why he would not want to get caught up in with the likes of Tamara and Vicki. Its nice to see u with ur family and please do NOT pay any attention to Tamara, i believe in karma and one day she will be treated like this and will know how it feels! God Bless!
I had the same procedure done - functional for sinus issues and cosmetic. Unfortunately my cosmetic did not come out as great as Alexis so planning to get a second one done. I went to ENT as I had horrific nose/sinus issues. I can breathe now, but doc (being Board Certified Plastic surgeon) messed up on the bump area. Anyway, people, do not mix up easy recovery from just plastic surgery with multitude of pain when recovering from functional/plastic surgery. It was the worst experience I ever had - and I delivered the baby and had hysterectomy. They were like walk in the park comparing to recovery after functional sinus surgery. Hope my cosmetic part will go well this time – surgery is everyone’s own choice. I would never ever started anything cosmetic if I did not have to get other surgery done...Alexis, please show Tamra her place – she might think your nose is big and needed some work, but …guess who has loving husband and beautiful kids! She might call you an idiot but you are smart enough to have beautiful family and someone to take care of you when you sick and all she has is another boyfriend/fiancé for 5 min. I bet she fishing for spinoff like Bethany or Kim –two other bullies.
Congrats Alexis on your surgery and am so glad that it was a success. I am sure that the other women had "mud on their faces" after they saw the results and doubted your motivations for the surgery. You were right to say something when the women openly discussed your surgery. However, just say your mind and move on. When you "beat a dead horse", it only makes you look worse than the women. Again, you look great, but you were also beautiful prior to the surgery.
People are really mean on here aren't they? People...remember the nasty things Heather/Terri said about Alexis. Not nice. Alexis I have heard the surgery is terrible...very tender sore. So happy to hear you can breathe again...nothing worse than not being able to breathe normally.
Alexis- Umm, could you please tell me where "Mother-F'er" is located in the Bible?!?!? Didn't know you could say something like that since you live the "Christian" life. By the way, you had a nose-job! Just because the doctor pulled all that crap out of there, doesn't mean it wasn't a nose-job. Get over yourself already, you are so fake and jealous of anyone (Heather) that is doing better than you. WWJThink about your jealousy???
Your husband reminds me of the husband in the commercial about 1/800contacts. He says that they cannot have contacts for his eyes because HE has special eyes. Everytime I hear it I think of your husband.
WHERE DID YOUR ASSISTANT FROM LAST SEASON GO????? You said last episode at the doctor's office that a girl was your assistant. What happened to the guy from last season that all the girls hates? Did you FIRE him? (Because of the drama :( )
You are beautiful Alexis! My father also had to have the same surgery to clear his sinuses!

Alexis, You had elective surgery. It wasn't the first time you have had elective surgery. Why did you over react to the pain, you've had three kids, twins to boot? I actually laughed because it appears you think you will get sympathy for your pain from cosmetic surgery. Perhaps you should take a moment and go visit the troops and visit some real heros who don't choose their surgery but face it like an adult. Brianna with her surgery made you look like a cry baby. You should be ashamed to cry over sinus surgery while she had her thyroid and lymph nodes removed.
Call me crazy....but why take a trip to the Grand Canyon or Italy or Greece or Egypt when you can just look at pictures online or in a book???? With plane tickets and hotels so expensive these days, it really seems a waste for people to be traveling on vacation!
I know you won't understand so I will explain it to you...this is called sarcasm!
Gorgeous as always. Jim loves you to death.You have great healthy kids.
Stop being jealous.It's not neccesary.
YOU look beautiful and I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. A major surgery on the face like that IS very painful and hopefully your breathing will be easier. I'm sorry there are such vicious haters that are so jealous of you. Ignore them and walk in faith.
you are not jealous of any one. lex you are the most confident one.heather is team tamra and she will find out how the oc rolls.tamra needs to leave after this season.bravo replace tamra with jeana.bullying needs to be done with.alexis loved seeing you on the bravo party and will dvr dr.oz you are the best.happy happy easter sunday





Please stop complaining about the pain. We get it it hurt get over yourself. You chose the surgery. Do you realize some people have serious illness they deal with daily with little money and no nanny. Go away
