I could be a judge...



on American Idol (big aspirations!) I called it last night on the Wild Card show. I thought the judges would pick Jasmine, Megan, and Anoop. And then, when Matt and Anoop both got called up at the end I said "they better make it 13!" And they did. The didn't necessarily pick the people I would have picked but I knew they wanted to round things out with different styles/genres. It should be a good season. Lots of talent. There is no Michael Johns this year so I probably won't be totally hooked (really). I didn't really pay much attention to David Cook until he sang 'Billie Jean'. I mean, if you can make a Michael Jackson song sound good you must be talented. Which brings me to next week's Idol. Yes, they are bringing out the Michael Jackson songs. All I can say is thanks for the warning. I have never been much of a fan of his so I don't plan on tuning in (really). But it should make for good entertainment.

I broke my new year's resolution not to watch Idol until they were down to six, obviously. You know what they say about resolutions. I did have good intentions...

At least there is a pretty big catalog of songs with Michael Jackson. I must say I'm not a big fan of AI, but when they have specific artist theme nights it seems especially brutal to watch. My favorite is after someone sings, they total rail them for their song choice. I wish someone would just say, "hey, you made me sing these songs". Worst theme night was Queen. If you are not Freddy Mercury, you have no business singing a Queen song. When they have more genere nights (like in the first couple of seasons) that seems to work better in my opinion.

My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t
