Does anyone ever read this?

I thought when I started this blog that it would be a fun thing to do —- conversing with people about random topics, etc — but no one ever comments on anything. Am I doing something wrong? Someone please post! Please??!!

Memorial Day/Weekend Plans

So — who’s got plans for the long weekend? My lucky self will be staying around town — so much to do and so little time. If anyone has fun things planned how about letting me know so that I can live vicariously thru you!

Carrie….Bo!

Wow! What a finale last night…..I had hoped that Bo would win but I wasn’t surprised to see Carrie walk away with the title. Both are excellent singers – I only hope that Bo will get his record deal like Clive Davis promised – I for one will be buying it!

Rambling Thoughts — Me, Reality TV finales, etc

Different emotions tonight.

Came home from work happy and upbeat – sat down and watched the 1st part of the American Idol Finale. Although I love Bo and think he’s a great singer, I think that Carrie did a better job tonight. I really did wish that Bo would have just knocked it outta the park – he did well – just not his “A” game tonight I don’t think. Guess I’ll be watching tomorrow night to see who the winner is along with the rest of the country!

Then on to the Contender finale — wow! what a fight! I don’t normally like boxing but this show has given me a better appreciation for it. I really thought that Manfredo was going to pull it out but there at the end he just didn’t have enough left in him to pull it off. I think both Manfredo and Mora were great fighters and either could have won it. I’m glad to see that someone won that really respects his mother and wants to do something good for his family. Seems he’s worked hard to get where he is.

Next up? Amber and Rob – the wedding! What girl doesn’t love a good wedding????? ME! Just kidding – I love to watch them but I always get depressed. I guess I’m just at that point in my life that I would really love to find mr. right and settle down — and I think that what bothers me most is the fact that my dad passed away about 4 years ago and if/when I finally do find the love of my life I know my dad won’t be there to walk me down the aisle and give me away. I know there are alternatives for dealing with that but it just hurts that the one man in my life that “always had my back” and loved me unconditionally – gave me the world — won’t be there to give me to my husband. This is sad and selfish too – but I remember thinking when he passed that he would never be there for me on my wedding day. How incredibly selfish of me – there he was dying and I’m so selfish that I’m thinking about all the things I won’t get to do and experience with him. I miss my dad tremendously and there isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him and miss him. So, while I enjoyed watching Amber and Rob’s journey to matrimony I couldn’t help but sit and think about my dad and my wedding day. Maybe I’m crazy – who knows — surely I’m not the only gal out there that’s felt the “let down” that I feel……

AC

OMG! I think I am going to die! It’s 80 something degrees outside and the AC in my house is not working — checked the thermostat while ago and it was 82 in my house!!!!!! Definitely have to call an AC man tomorrow to get it fixed – I can’t stand being hot like this. As I’m writing this I’m sitting on my leather couch – NAKED – with the ceiling fan on high!!! Sorry – would write about something else but the heat has altered my state of mind and all I can think about is cool air!!!

Fun Quote for Today

Someday your prince charming will come. Mine just took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions.

If you find him will you please give him the right directions???? Or better yet, deliver him personally – with my luck he’ll only get lost again!!
