Americal Idol update:
So far my new favorite is Chris. Last week I liked Blake, but I tend to agree with Simon, and aside from the whole beat-box thing, his act was a Jamiroqui rip-off of the video. If his hat was a little bigger, I wouldn't have known the difference.
Last week, I thought Chris was a decent Justin Timberlake impersonater, suit and all...this week I liked him better. Possibly because Jason Mraz is one of my all time favorite singers, and he sang one of his songs, but he did do a very nice job.
Sundance is my other favorite, just because he's awesome...so far.
Oh- and AJ was really good too. I think I overlooked him last week.
The others aren't even mildly interesting to me.
I was very creeped out by the guy who dedicated "Let's Get it On" to his parents.
Can't wait for tonight's episode! I'm an AI junkie.

Picture Time!
Here's some photos I finally loaded onto my computer. The first one is how I found Cissi sleeping in our bed the other day- she was too cute and cozy to move her!
The rest are from our cousin's scrapbook/sleepover back in January. (A.K.A. "The night Bella Dancerella disappeared!") :)
Jenna and Rylee, being cute.
Snuggling on the bird couch.
Me and Lisa and Cissi, being cute- haha. :)
Joe and Jenna having dinner.
Deb, Kara, Amy, Lisa, Me: in our p.j.'s

Mystery Solved!
So...Joe was transferring his school videos to DVD today, and couldn't get the tape into the VCR. It would only go in part of the way.
He looked inside the VCR and saw something shiny.
And let me just say I've looked everywhere BUT the VCR for this thing!!!
Geez.

Today's Riddle:
WHY do the contestants on American Idol suck at singing?!
The ONLY one I liked was the guy who sang the Keane song (the one Simon said sounds like someone in 2007- Blake, I think?)
And even he wasn't all that great.
All those thousands of people who auditioned and THIS is the best they came up with??
And yet I can't stop watching it.....

Bloggy Weekend!
Wow- you can tell I'm just hanging around the house today- I'm blogging like crazy!
Here's my favorite comic from today's paper. I'm not as much of a comic fan as I used to be, because I think the quality of the Sunday funnies has gone way down and most aren't even FUNNY anymore.
But this one gave me a good chuckle...I'm still laughing at it.
Enjoy. :)

Junk Mail
I cleaned out my e-mail inbox today. I had 592 bulk e-mails to delete. I always have a good laugh at the names and subjects in the bulk e-mail inbox...they're everything from foreign to slightly creative to just plain stupid. Because I'm in waste-the-day-away mode today, I am posting a list of my favorite bulk e-mail subject lines, from senders including: Violetta Sidebottom, Gracie Goodq, Matthaes Ralf, Gaston, Elfriede, and lori1017 AND lori1176.
Here they are, in no particular order:

Super what?
I didn't know today was SuperBowl Sunday until...yesterday. One of my clients asked me if I was going to a SB party, and I said "Oh, is that THIS week?" hahaha. I'm so oblivious to football...I'm bored right now just writing about it.
We're going to Vegas for Memorial Day weekend to celebrate Joe's 30th birthday. Isn't that fun??? It's definitely something to look forward to, to get through this stupid cold windy weather we're having.
Yes, I have already started shoping for summer, thanks for asking! I purchased two new pair of capri pants, and a swimsuit last week. I can't do anything with them right now, but it's nice to buy those kinds of clothes, as I sit here in my fleece sweats, a long sleeve t-shirt, an Urbana Jr. High hooded sweatshirt, and my slipper socks (thanks, mom! They're super warm!!)
Oh, and I'm sitting 2 feet in front of the fire. Yeah, I'm THAT cold.
And I'm drinking hot chocolate.
Anyone know what the groundhog saw??
Are we in for another month and a half of winter?
Or just 6 weeks?????
