America's Top Model?

I started watching America's top Model on Wed. nights. It was easy enough to do with Michael pretty much out of the house, and Collin would go hide in his room. :)

I have to say I really got to like Nicole, I liked Laura too. They were my favorite girls. I liked Nicole because a big part of me could relate to this shy young woman that had been teased by people for so much of her life. The first show when I saw the girls in the house treat her like dirt, make fun of her behind her back, and all say how she would be the first to go, and then she pulled off the win that night. Wow was all I could think. This girl who is quiet and shy, and very reserved, had an ability to work the camera better than most people.

From that show on I hoped she would win. If I'm not mistaken I think she won most of the weekly spots, so it makes sense that she would pull it off.

I like Laura too, for much the same reasons. She was out going, happy, sunny, and seemed to be a real joy to be around. She also had some incredible pictures. I think this was the first reality show that I had watched in a long time where I would have been happy with either outcome. It was a good call to have them both in the finals, and good job to both girls.

American Idol review

I thought I would give my first impression of each contestant tonight. All of this I jotted down before the judges comments, for the most part. Keep in mind I really don't know any of the songs that were sung except for one or two.

Anoop- I thought he was off key, if he wants to sing R+B it really doesn't work for me. I'm finding him rather boring.

Megan- I thought she was okay, a bit off key. I really like her voice and wish she would sing some Jazz and blues, if she put out a record that is the style I think suits her the best. I would like to her her falsetto more because I really love it when she puts it in her vocals. It seems to make her voice quaility pop.

Danny, I liked. Can't say more than that.

Allison was so, so for me. Hated the Outfit. My problem is I'm not into the rock music, but I do recognize that is what her voice is suited for. I really hear Blondie type music coming from her.

Scott, I like Scott but I feel like I'm listening to a wedding singer every week. Honestly it was not my favorite of the night and would have him in my bottom three picks for sure.

Matt- Off key at first. I like Megan the song was redundant in lyrics.

Lil- I like her, and thought the song was a sweet one for her showing her soft side.

Adam, no doubt about it that he is amazing. I don't care for Rock music so I would never buy one of his albums. I like the fact that he has changed his looks for the performances, he is much easier to look at, and he really doesn't need the funky style to show who and what he is.
I do like that he complimented the band on the arrangement, classy.

Kris, this was my favorite of the night. The same that Adam was my favorite last week. If he had an album full of that, I would by it.

My top three as far as talent

Kris
Adam
Danny

My top three favorites
Kris
Danny
Lil

My bottom three

Anoop
Megan (and I really like her!)
Scott

I can't decide who should go, for me it would be Anoop or Scott. I would like to hear more from Megan because she is so different.

National anthem done right



I found this on TF Stern's site, he said that the one on the left is 8, the two in the middle are 7, and the two on the right are 6 years old. Go girls!

Nylons!

I told Michael that I need to run to Wallmart on Saturday to get some more nylons as the last pair I had, was wearing out and had a hole in it would not last longer.

Collin said,
"Don't all CD's have holes in them?"

(if you don't know The Nylons are a musical group)

It gave us a good laugh.

Google Name fun- Tanya

Go to google and write your name and the word ‘needs’, in quotes — as in “Marisa needs”. Notice the first 10 sensical sentences that come up. Then give some commentary.

Here’s what I got:
1.Tanya needs to think about why she did what she did at the party.(humm, what party? When? and Why can't I remember?)

2.Tanya needs to go eye shopping for a new pair of eyeglasses. (WHAT! I just did that thank you very much, have had them ony about a week.)

3.I think we all know that tanya just needs a little slim-fast (Oh my? How did they know. Not that slim fast works, but I am back to low carbing!)

4.Tanya needs a refresher course! (Uhhhm, the question is which course and when?)

5.Tanya needs a new battery? (How about a new body, that is 3 inches taller, and 100 pounds lighter)

6. Tanya needs your help! (What kind of help, but prayers are always nice.)

7. Tanya needs a lung transplantation, which will be conducted in the clinic in Austria. (Honest this is not me! I don't live in Austia, and I don't need new lungs, don't be fooled.)

8.Tanya needs to step away from the computer and get myself some breakfast already. (This is usually the truth, but since it is afternoon, breakfast was hours ago.

9. Tanya needs to raise $600.00 so that I can have the surgury. (No surgery, and no I don't need 600.00 save your money please for yourself.

10. Tanya needs to complete an oil painting on her own. (I don't paint, so maybe I do need to do this sometime.)

My DH made this for me for Valentines

I love you
It's really nice not to have to live through today as a "Single's Awareness Day."

Randy gets up early in the morning, and this is part of what he was working on when he was up.

I love you honey!

CAKES!

Yeah, I know, I gotta concentrate on low carb, but you just HAVE to go see these cakes!

On the other hand it's why I am posting the link here-the Bourne sisters goof-off site :)
