American Idol



Ok, time to confess... Hi, my name is Tisha, and I'm addicted to American Idol. I went out to dinner with mom and dad tonight, cause the kiddies are still in Texas and mom had this gift certificate to a great Mexican restaurant in the area. As we were eating our fish taco's and tamales, I asked, almost in a panic, "What time is American Idol on tonight?! We have to be home in time for that!" Did I just say that? Who was that?

I'll admit it; I got totally sucked in. I love to tune in twice a week and see what Ringling Brothers inspired outfit Paula is wearing this time. And of course I love Simon, in that British bad-boy sort of way that just makes me want to spank him. I do actually own one American Idol contestant CD by Chris Daughtry. I didn't buy it for myself, but mom got it for me last Christmas. It's actually really good!

This season of Idol is really pissing me off though. In a word: Senjaya. I mean get serious! My son calls him "that guy that looks like a girl." As in: "Mommy, did that guy that looks like a girl get voted off yet?" No honey, not yet. No thanks to Howard Stern and the Anti-American Idol campaign. If you haven't heard about this check it out: http://www.votefortheworst.com/ I actually like Stern and always have. But he's messing up My show! Actually, I think it's all pretty funny that Stern can still have that kind of influence on such a majorly funded show as American Idol. But then Stern is the self-proclaimed "King of all Media" as he is proving yet again.

Spring Break


I'm taking the kiddies to Sacramento airport tomorrow night as daddy is flying in to pick them up for Spring Break. Well, most of Spring Break anyway, because he couldn't get his shit together in time to have them for the entire week. He's flying in to Sacramento Monday night, where I'm meeting him at a hotel to drop off the kids. The three of them are going to spend the night (good luck with that!) and are flying to Texas on Tuesday morning, then flying back on Saturday. So really, they'll have about 4 days. Lovely.


And I could certainly use a break, if only for a couple of days. I have the quilt to finish, like yesterday, for the show in July. Mom reminds me again today that she already has the applications and we need to get them in as soon as possible, before spaces fill up, which of course requires dimensions and a photo. Kind of hard to do when the quilt is still in pieces on my machine. So that's my goal, to occupy my time this week with the kids gone. Finish the quilt!

I also rented two movies at Blockbuster yesterday~Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Eragon.
