WooHoo

WOOHOO! Kris made the finale!! Did anyone else get the feeling that the judges were disappointed that Kris made it to the final two?? Or was it just Simon and the face he made when they announced it was Kris? Does his hair remind anyone else of a dish scrubber? No? Just me?

Ok well anyway, I'm super excited about next weeks finale, our Bible Study group is throwing a Finale party and we're going to watch it after a quick Bible Study. I'm sure Got will understand...we want to pull for Kris, especially because of what a great example he will set for Christians and Non-Christians everywhere!



Ok moving on...So how many of you have gotten the sales call that warns you about your warranty expiring? How many of you, like our work phone, get them more than once daily? Well guess what!? Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has filed a law suit, along with 40 other states against three warranty companies. They are guilty of Spoofing, which is intentionally making wrong numbers come up on caller ids so us as phone owners can't screen their calls. The are also using automative call lists and contacting people on do not call Lists, both which are illegal. How do these companies stay in business? Does anyone really buy this warranty service? I guess they are about to be out of business, thank goodness I don't' think I can handle any more phone calls!

Well the weather man just forcasted rain for tomorrow.....again, my hands are starting to shrivle we've gotten so much rain. Have a great rainy Thursday!

What?!

Is my ticker broken? I've had 100 people look at my blog since yesterday?! OK mom, if you are really missing me so much that you check my blog 50 times a day, I'll come visit next weekend. If it isn't just my mom, Let me know who you are! I'd like to view your blog too!

OK so American Idol last night.... What it the world is going to happen?! I'm so excited/nervous to see tonight who's going home. I hope it's Adam. Being from Arkansas, of course I want Kris to win, but he just wasn't over the top impressive last night with both songs, only the second one. (which by the way, how awesome was his acoustic version of Heartless?) But I think now it comes down to your fan base and to be honest I think Kris has a HUGE fan base. After last week I'm really beginning to think Kris might make it through tonight. Danny did OK, but I don't like the gravely sound to his voice, it appeals to many people, just not me. I mean he has some major pipes but..not my style. I'm not a fan of Adam so if you are just stop reading right now. I HATE his voice, it makes me cringe every time he screams with his tongue out. I saw some pretty interesting pictures of him dressed in drag that someone had posted on the Internet...I had nightmares about it. I found this on Perez Hilton's Website with this as the tag line "Homolicious American Idol contestant Adam Lambert makes one hideous drag queen. Thank heaven’s he can sing!" hummmm...not my idea of an American Idol. And just for the record, him being homosexual is not the reason I don't like him. I don't like his voice. He can hit the notes but his voice just scares me... and so does his tongue.

I'm a little worried because I hit redial on my phone from 8 to 9:30 last night and never got through. I gave up around 9:30 and then forgot to call closer to 10. I hope my one little vote not going through didn't mess up the whole outcome of the competition! I will be watching Idol tonight and will cry if Kris goes home. I watched idol last night with a guy who works with Kris' wife at Axiom. He has talked to her and she says she gets really hyper on Tuesdays and gets so nervous on Wednesdays that she can't stand it...(Well, uh..I'd be the same way too!) He also said that Axiom sends out mass e-mails for all of it's employees world wide to vote for Kris and they have watch parties every week. Hopefully their e-mails work this week!!! Here is a pretty picture to get the one above out of your head.

Change of subject... I went to visit Rance today at UAMS. We didn't stay too long cause he was tired but he did respond to us, when I told him not to hit on the nurse, who happened to be a good friend of mine and he nodded "Yes!" haha! I'm glad to see he's still in good spirits. He agreed he was ready to get the tubes out of his mouth and get into a real room. His mom said they are telling them he might be out of ICU in 10 days if everything goes smooth. Rance was running a fever when we were there which the nurse said might mean he could have an infection. Let's pray his fever breaks and it's not pneumonia or a serious infection! Please, keep him and your families and friends in your prayers. He's had tons of visitors come in and out. There were about 8 people in the waiting room that had been there all day and people coming in and out frequently. They had a guest book to sign and there were pages and pages of people! It just showed how much Rance is loved and how many people are pulling for him. The nurses kept saying how much of a fighter he was and how great he was doing for what he went through!

Have a great Wednesday Evening!

It's Official...

It's official...Banjo is jealous of Birdie. Don't get me wrong though he loves her very much. He lets her tag along everywhere he goes, and he stops frequently and lets her catch up. He shares his pen with her and they sleep together every night, but he's jealous. Last night the chocolate children and I were playing as we do every night right before bed. I was rubbing Birdies belly, when Banjo sits on top of Birdie forcing me to pet him, instead of her. This pissed Birdie off a tad bit and she bit his ear and they started wrestling.

After the wrestling match was over I fed them both a Beggin' Strip. Banjo swallowed his whole and Birdie took her sweet little time savoring the flavor of every bite. She had one small bite on the floor and Banjo swooped in and took it. Notice I got a shot as he's diving for the strip.
She looked at him and then me with the most pitiful face. I immediately scolded him, pried open his mouth and fished out the Beggin' strip and gave it back to Birdie, who took it in her mouth and pranced off to eat it alone while smirking at Banjo. (Gross I know but I felt sorry for her, it was the last strip!)

After finishing her Beggin' Strip, Birdie came over to me and layed on her back and stretched out, waiting for me to start petting her belly. As I was petting her, Banjo walked over and lifted his paw and pulled my hand towards his belly and made a grunting noise as if saying, pet ME, not HER. I swear my dogs are Human!!! Sean is in Stamps, AR until tonight so both dogs slept with me last night, Banjo on my left and Birdie on my right. (Don't tell Sean, he won't let me put the dogs in the bed) As I read back over this blog I realize that I have a major problem, I'm obsessed with my dogs. You guys may need to plan and intervention.
