Friday Funny

So I'm suffering from a massive headache right now and it's thrown me into a horribly bad mood.  I was't really upset with last nights results on American Idol.  I thought Alex & Janell should've stayed but oh well.  At least my favorites are still on! 

Today Kelly is doing Funny Friday.  Ok Just a warning some of these aren't suitable for children...and may be a little offensive...but I laughed so hard I cried at these...they all came in an e-mail with a few others that weren't appropriate for my blog :)

Enjoy!  And have a Great Friday!!!

Move Over Kara

Ok so Today is the American Idol Boys Recap...I apologize if you don't care about American idol but from now until the end of season my Wed-Friday posts will be about AI...I'll try to post a normal post too..

I don't know why the Judges have been raving about the girls all season because the Boys were waaay better in my opinion. The first few weeks of idol wears me out because we know who the top singers our so I wish we could just skip to the top 6 or 8 and make everyone else just leave...I'd just be speeding up the inevitable...

I again took notes...except after a few singers I dropped my pen and Birdie was curled up in my lap and I didn't want to get off the recliner to get my pen. After unsuccessfully trying to get Banjo to fetch my pen..I just gave up and quit writing..

Ok My top picks have their photo beside them.  I know they take six boys but I can't decide who will be the sixth guy..I'll have to hear more to decide.
Oh and Kara needs to watch her back...Casey is Mine!!! haha

Todrick: yuck...that's all I wrote for him. I had high hopes for Todrick because boy can sing...but last night just was weird and awkward. He remixed Since you've been gone by Kelly Clarkson and It was a risk I'll admit..but it was just weird.

Aaron Kelly: He sang A Rascal Flats song and I didn't realize his voice was so Country. I can't believe he's only 16 because he has a great voice. Simon called him "cute" and I agree but he won't be around for long..unless he's like David Archeletto and stays around forever..gah that really bothered me that season I thought he sucked.

Jermaine: He sang a song I'd never heard before. And WTH was he wearing? Was that a tux jacket with tails? He was horrible. He hurt my ears and the judges were waaay to easy on him. He was off the majority of the song.

Tim Urban: He sang "Apologize" by One Republic. I really like this guy but he has a weird high voice and it wasn't that impressive. I thought the end was way better than the beginning. I thought the judges were way to hard on him. He was about to cry. I was going to vote for him just because the judges were really hard on him but then I forgot to vote altogether.

Joe Munoz: He sang "You and I" by Jason Maraz. I love that song. I don't remember Joe at all. He had a great voice and a great look but the song choice was way to safe. I'd like to see what his voice can really do!

This is where I dropped my pen.

Tyler: The Seventy's guy. His performance was so memorable I didn't need to take notes to remember! He sang American Woman. I thought the overall performance was great! His voice sounded bad but I could tell that he can sing he just got way too into the song. I liked his look and I don't think he's pretending to be a 70's rocker like the judges said. I think he is really just like that. It will be sad to see him change his look like the judges suggested.

Lee: Lee sang Chasing cars by Snow Patrol and it was Awesome! He has a great voice and the judges wanted to see him sing something "rock-ier" but I liked him. He's super cute too!

John was next and I don't remember what he sang but I don't remember liking it. I think it was a slow song and I wasn't impressed.

Michael sang This Love by Maroon 5 and he's just a great singer. He's so big he made the guitar look like a toy. He's got a great voice and he kept talking back to the judges and it cracked me up.

Alex Lambert was next and he sang a Jim Morrison song and sounded just like him. He has a mullet. He needs to cut the mullet. It's weird. He can sing good too.

Casey was next. As I watched my boyfriend sing "Heaven" by Brian Adams to me, I couldn't help but get chills because of How great he is! His hair was a little to styled for me though. I'll have to call him and tell him to fix it differently tomorrow. The judges and Kara made complete asses of themselves teasing him about Kara liking him. Kara turned red and really embarrassed Casey. It was ridiculous. Maybe the judges can control themselves next week. His country accent reminds me of Sean's. I called Sean after Casey's performance and told him I wanted a divorce and that I was going to marry Casey and he laughed and said that Casey lived a few towns over from the guys he's rodeoing with in Stevenville. I immediately made plans to ride out to Stevenville with Sean this summer once Idol is over and Casey is back home so I can stalk him:)

I do hope you all realize I'm joking...kind of.

Andrew Garcia was last He was Amazing. He can really sing and he is a great artist. I think he will make it to the top. He remixed the song "sugar we're going down" by the Fall Out Boys. He made it slow and did it acoustically and this song was way to dark lyrically to be that slow. I liked the sound of it though. I've always wondered what the singer was saying in the chorus and now since Andrew slowed it down for me I know :) "Drop a Heart, Break a Name"

Ok So that's my recap. I'm one step closer to having a computer! Yay! I've got the virus' gone and working on figuring out how to hook my phone up for internet!

Have a great Thursday!

American Idol

I started watching American Idol during Fantasia's season and when It was over I was totally exhausted.  So I missed out on Carrie Underwood's Season and then decided that it was much fun to be exausted and watch American Idol than to have a life and I haven't missed an episode since.

Something about the American Idol theme music reminds me that spring is approaching and takes me back to College nights when my roommate and I would sit on the couch with the windows open, letting in the spring air and judging the contestants. We would rate them 1-10 and then only vote once for the top singers, believing our one vote would've mattered.

That was all before you could vote 100 times simultaneously and it was much less complicated. You could actually tell who sucked and who was good and who had potential..but after hearing last night's performance and listening all that talk about "star like" quality, and being more original...I was confused on who to vote for...so I just didn't vote.

I've also decided it's ridiculous to even try to predict who will be kicked off on Thursday because in my opinion it's anyone's game...

I would just like to add that I, in no way whatsoever have any business judging any of these ladies and their voices but I'm going to anyway...because it's fun :)

...I took notes during the show :)

And I apparently left the first page somewhere between here and home so I will have to just do contestant 1-3 from memory.

1. Paige Miles-beautiful eyes and hair. She sang a power song..I remember her voice being awesome, her hitting a few off notes, and her music and back up voices being really loud. I think she will go far. I also remembered her wearing a jumpsuit she was SEWN into???? And she had to pee. I remember when we went duck hunting and I had on those waders and was in three feet deep water and I had to pee for four hours....I wouldn't have been able to hit the notes she did, let a lone move...I also wouldn't have told 2 bazillion viewers that I was sewn into my suit and had to pee.

2. Ashley Rodrriguez- she wasn't very memorable. I remember it being ok. She was nervous and pitchy though.

3. Janell Wheeler.  I think she was the blonde that had the curtain tassels on as earrings. She was ok, good voice but picked the wrong song. She should've played her guitar. She's cute.

4. Lily Scot- I still can't figure out if she is just prematurely grey or dyes her hair... It looks good on her though. I also noticed that she likes to wear HUGE feather earrings that are super cool. I loved her voice. She was different and her voice relaxed me. I could totally listen to her every night when I took my relaxing bath but I would probably drop the cd player into the bath so never mind.

5. Katlyn Epperly- HAIR. RED LIP STICK. HAIR. UGLY RED LIPSTICK. WILD HAIR. And she could sing pretty good and looked comfortable on stage.

6. Haeley Vaughn- I'm sorry but I can't stop looking at her mouth! It's huge and smiley all the time. She also looked a little bit like a cabbage patch doll, or a trick-o-treater in a sexy nurse costume. I can't find a photo of her outfit so those of you who missed it be glad (though I'm pretty sure people that didn't watch AI aren't reading this post.)  I liked her voice though...it was all over the place but it's really clear and I like that...her high voice was a little ear numbing though.. But I think she has potential

I just realized that anyone who stumbles across my blog and reads it once won't get half of the things I reference back to..like the bath tub...but I guess they just need to visit more :)

7. Laci Brown: I LOVE her hair...I wish I could pull off her look, but I totally can't even begin to. I liked her voice but for some reason our Satellite was messing up throughout her entire performance so I couldn't tell, but apparently the judges didn't like it...but I really like her voice and she looked so scared so hopefully she can get over the stage fright and show us what she can really do!

8. Michelle Delanor- If it were possible for Eva Longoria-Parker and Eva Mendez to have a baby it would look like Michelle Delanor. She had the cutest outfit on and I loved her hair. She definitely has star quality and even though some of the parts were pitchy I actually really enjoyed her performance.

9. DiDi Benami- Is Brooke White from a few season's ago her twin? Is she really Brook White in disguise trying to win again? Well I love both of their voices so I'm ok if it is. Her voice is so clear I just love it, and I'm not ever afraid that she'll hit a bad note. Oh and was she wearing a rainbow colored afghan over her shirt? I'm confused with that style?

10. Siobhan Magness- I don't like this girl's voice much. Though her high voice is pretty.  She also looks like she got up and threw on some clothes from her closet and had her eyes closed the entire time.  Her performance was weird and creepy. And what was she wearing on her feet? Blocks? it was just weird..but the judges like her though..go figure

11. Crystal Bowersox- I love Alannis so I was immediately excited. She did an awesome job and I'm in love with her voice and I want to brush her hair. I predict her to go really really far.

12. Katie Stevens- Young, Annoying, tried too hard. Annoying. She got into the performance that's for sure. She had fun so I guess that's good. She's annoying though. I didn't like her voice...She is more of an on Broadway singer to me.

Well That's my two cents. I really liked Ellen in place of whatserface She was funny and didn't talk about how wonderful they looked instead of their performance. The skit with Ellen and Simon was hilarious!!! And mom and I both agreed that Ryan Seacrest wins "best dressed."

And again I do realize that I have no business judging these ladies but anyone of them can come to my house and watch me sing and judge me if they'd like.  And they can bring Casey James along with him so I can stare at him and drool. 

Moped Night

Well I'm one step closer to getting a computer back yay!  I took Sean's computer to best buy and got them to help me out.  Now all I have to do is go to Verizon and get them to help me download software to be able to get online through my blackberry.  It's all really confusing to me...

So since I can't post photos, I wanted to tell you about the night I had....

So there is this older gentleman that lives somewhere around the area that has to drive by my house quite often.  I'm sure there are many people that have to drive by my house on a daily basis, but I never notice them like I notice this older gentleman.  You see,  this man rides a moped.  And not just any old moped, but the loudest moped on the face of the earth.  It sounds like a fourwheeler without a muffler, but worse. 

This gentleman is a little overweight, so that may be another reason why the moped is so loud, because ya know, it has to work extra hard.  He also has a beard and wears a really cool moped riding hat.  He kind of reminds me of a redneck Santa Claus...except with a moped.   I saw him at the gas station one night with a lady friend on the back.  The moped was really really loud that night. 

Well last night I was jerked out of the Best dream ever, though I can't remember what it was, I just remember it being wonderful. I could hear the moped coming down the road. He must have had a couple of lady friends on the back because it was so loud it jerked me out of a deep sleep.   The chocolate children got really excited because they must have thought it was a four-wheeler, and no matter what is going on in the world, if they hear a fourwheeler they take off.  I don't know know what their obsession is with four-wheelers. I guess they are fun to chase or something, which is weird because both dogs have been ran over accidently by the fourwheelers which would make you think they would hate them.  Neither of them were hurt seriously, just embarassed...SO maybe they chase them because they hate them...anyway I digress..

So the dogs jumped off the bed and ran around to every door in the house barking as loud as possible wanting outside to chase after the moped man.  I looked at the clock and it was 4am!!  4AM on a Monday Night!!! It's below Freezing!!! What is Moped man doing out at this hour??? 

 The dogs couldn't settle down after the moped man passed because the dogs across the street were barking, so Banjo started barking at them.  Then Birdie joined in and started barking at Banjo, and in my "just jerked out of sleep by moped man- bad mood" I yelled at the dogs, gave them both spankings and went back to bed.  Notice I didn't say "went back to sleep"  because I just couldn't sleep after that.  I tossed and turned all the rest of the morning, wondering what in the world moped man was doing out at that hour.  I guess I'll never know.

Monday Random Thoughts

So I'm still without a computer.  I have plans on taking my computer to the apple people and seeing if they can do anything for me.  If not, I will use Seans PC but I have to get all the virus' off of it first.

I'd just like to say thank you to all of you who gave suggestions on what to do or cried with me during this difficult time in my life. Hopefully I can get all the photos off my hard drive and Sean's computer will work after it is fixed.  Honey Momma really made me feel better about it all...thanks!!!

My ear infection is still giving me pains... but look what I did this weekend!

(photo taken from camera phone, horrible quality..don't judge me)

No, I didn't get a red chair (which is what I was asked when I posted this on facebook with the caption "Look what I did!") 

Since I don't post many pictures of myself on my blog I'll just go ahead and let you know I cut my hair off... like six inches!  My friend Holly, who is a hair stylist did it for me and it looks great!  I'm going to have to get some super strong hairspray so I can poof it up a little bit. I've had long hair for four years now and It was time for a change.  Plus, I think this style makes me look a little more professional than my long curls did.

I hope Sean Likes my hair...He left Saturday and I cut it Sunday!  He'll get a big suprise when he gets home!  He's in Arizona until the beginning of March and I would update my little "sean map" but again I don't have a computer :)  He's up in Tucson today so say a little prayer.  His first check came in the mail today and it felt so good to depost it into the bank! 

Birdie slept with me last night, like right next to me and she kicked me in the back all night long..and she snored.  So I got very little sleep, but I'm glad she slept good.  Sometimes I swear she's human.

Anywho I hope you all have a great Monday, and I am having withdrawls from taking photos, but I haven't had any time!!  I dont' know what I'd do with them anyway beside keep them on my card.  Maybe by next week I'll have a computer and be able to post photos on my 365 page.

My Bad

Every night before bed I take a relaxing hot bath.  It helps me wind down and forget the stress of my day and puts me in sleep mode. 

Sometimes I read in my bath, Sometimes I just lay there and relax, and sometimes I actually fall asleep!  Sometimes I add bathsalts and sometimes I add bubbles. 

Sometimes Birdie and Banjo will come lay next to the bathtub with me and nap and once Birdie tried to take a drink of the bathwater.  I had to get on to her so she doesn't do that anymore. 

Since I've been so busy lately I've started taking my laptop in with me and getting some work done.  It's a really small notebook Mac computer so it's light.  My bathtub is a huge garden tub so I have plenty of room in there.  I'm always careful not to get my Mac wet.

Until Wednesday Night. 

I've been pretending the past two days like this accident didn't happen.  Like everything is fine and that I'm not stupid but I think last night it finally hit me that I actually did drop my laptop into the tub.  I actually did ruin my laptop.  My lap top with all my photos on it, with all my editing software, all my music, all my wedding photos...MY WHOLE LIFE is in that stupid lap top..

...Oh but you backed it up right Jenna?  You saved everything on a backup drive so you don't have any problems right?

Wrong...

So I've had it open and upside down for the past two days letting it air out, hoping and praying it will work.  I turned it on last night and it worked!  

Kind of

The screen is no longer colorful.  It's very faded and water blotches are everywhere.

The shift key is evidently stuck along with the caps lock key because every time I tried to type I just kept getting this:  !@#$%^  AND THIS

I'm typing from my work computer, which will have to be my sole computer until I can get mine fixed but I'm screwed on the weekends.

Do you have any suggestions for me?  Can this be fixed or will I have to buy another computer?  Can apple fix this or the Geek squad?    Has anyone else been this stupid and taken their computer into the bathtub with them then watched in slow motion as it dropped into the water while you desperately tried to stop it but you just couldn't do anything but stare at it open mouthed and dumbfounded?

What does a person do without a computer?!  Without the internet!?  I'm scared...help me.

Ok blog readers, this just Broke my heart!!  I love dogs, which is evident from my obsessive blogging about my dogs but I love this dog for it's stregenth!  I got this e-mail today and I just HAD to share it!! I almost cried seeing this poor dog! 

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 2 legs -

He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

His first owner also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.  But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.
She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself..
She named him 'Faith'.

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movement.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward
for him for standing up and jumping around.
Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk.
Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle,
Faith learned to balance on his hind legs and to jump to move forward.
After further training in the snow, he could now walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now.
No matter where he goes, he attracts people to him.
He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and
has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
There is now a book entitled 'With a Little Faith' being published about him.

He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.

His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the worldto preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.

In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better you just need to look at life from another direction.I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyoneand that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.

Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.

A small request: All you are asked to do is keep this story circulating.
