Male Bonding

Picture It:

A beautiful night out at the Ballpark.

Opening season for the Texas Rangers.

The smell of hot dogs and cotton candy in the air.

Families enjoying time together.

A father and son sit a few rows ahead of us.

Heads together.

Playing Hooters Wing-o!?!?

Angry Eyes

Well, Sunny Side Up is putting on her 'Angry Eyes' today!

I just can't even believe the Elimination on American Idol last night!?!

Okay, I know that the competition is tough this year. I knew that it was going to get sticky soon. I knew that I would start getting sad since I have a few favorites. We can't all be winners-- I Get It. But,

Come, on... Michael Johns?!? Are you kidding me? This is some kind of joke, right? First time in the bottom three and out? He was absolutely stunned.

He has such a Huge Voice. He definitely seems like he could be a front man for a band and sell records now. He took on songs by The Doors, Simple Minds, Queen... and he nailed them. He has Star Quality. And an amazing amount of Charisma. The good looks and the Aussie accent do everything to recommend him as a celebrity. I most definitely disagree.

Michael Johns,

American Idol just won't be the same without you. I hope that you are signing a record deal right now. We'll buy them. We'll love them.

G'day, Mate.

It's All Wrong, But It's All Right

Goosebumps

I actually have a lot of other things going on in my life besides American Idol, truly I do. But, I am enjoying this season so much that I get totally excited about it.

I am telling you that last night's performance by Jason Castro was AMAZING! Wow. Goosebumps. Tears. You name it, I had them.



David Archuleta's performance was terrific. He is definitely the one who probably has the lion's share of the votes. Popular young phenom.


David Cook rocked it out last night, though it wasn't my favorite performance. It didn't move me, so I was somewhat disappointed. Though, I believe that he is a shoe-in for the top 4.



Michael Johns' was great, too. I mean how can you go wrong with 'Dream On?' (Yes, much to the chagrin of my hubby, I am a closet Aerosmith fan)

Red Hot!

"Mom, I love you with the red-hot intensity of a thousand suns."

Is that a great kid, or what? :) Okay, so maybe she said it with a joke in her voice, but I ran to the computer and blogged it as my quote-of-the-day just as fast as my little feet could carry me!

The Facts of LIfe

Nicky: Mom, was I born? Mom, was I born? Mom, was I born?...

Me: (tuning into the incessant chatter...) What?

Nicky: Mom, was I born?

Me: Yes.

Nicky: (to Lilly) Lilly, I was born. True story.
