Thursday Thoughts

Well, that didn't last long.

Apparently Anoop is gone. I didn't watch the show, but from the recap I read, I didn't miss much. In fact, with the new elimination format they are using, I can finally say that I'm so over American Idol.

In other news, we leave a week from today for New York for my sister's wedding. Yesterday my dad texted this picture from Sara's backyard ...
It's gonna be a cold five days.

Anyway, Sara's the third (and last) of my siblings to get married. Did you know I'm the oldest of four? This might sound kind of weird, but I always had a strong feeling that I'd be the last to get married. So, Sara, I guess I should say thanks for not waiting too long.

My turn now?

I Love Tuesdays

It's Tuesday. You know what that means? Free breakfast at Chick-fil-A! Oh, and also. It means that American Idol is on tonight. So it's shaping up to be a good day.

Speaking of American Idol, have any of you been watching this season?

Here is my current favorite ...

He's totally got the geek/soul vibe going on.

(I realize that's three days in a row of posting videos. I promise, it won't always be this way.)

He Didn't Win, But ...

I love me some Jason Castro.

Sing on, Jason.

Dreams Really Do Come True

One of my all time favorite songs.
Done by Jason Castro.
This song makes me cry.


Also ... Idol Gives Back tonight. Will you be watching?

Horton, St. Patty and other random things...

Blogger is wigging out on me today. I had posted some pictures from the weekend yesterday, but today they were little red x's.

GRRR.

So instead of viewing the beautiful pictures you kiddies will have to use your imaginations.

Anyway, I'm lookin' forward to the weekend! I have quite ambitious plans:

I'm going to try to finish up a couple books.

Maybe I'll go see Horton Hears a Who. (It got a good review on CNN.com today.)

I'm going to attempt to replace the wood moulding that my dog destoyed. (Becky will be using tools. Take cover! Brother, prepare yourself for my call.)

I'm going to attend an early St. Patrick's Day party. (Incidentally, did you know that we're officially supposed to celebrate the holiday on Saturday since Monday is the start of Holy Week? Yeah ... the things I learn at a 5:30am spin class.)

I'm going to cook a couple new dishes. (I'm sure you're all VERY excited.)

And hopefully I'll get to bust out my bike for the first time this year. (If the snow stops. Cross all your fingers and toes.)

That's pretty much it. Oh, one more thing. You should all tune in to American Idol on Tuesday nights and vote for Jason Castro.

Why? you ask me. Because my friend Nate says so.

Plus, he rocks.
Deal? Sweet. I'm out.

Why I will watch Idol this year ...

Be still my heart.

My favorite American Idol audition so far ...

Although there's only been two nights of auditions so far, I already have a favorite contestant. Jonathan Baines. Love his style. And he's only 17!
