Nothin much on my plate
The only thing I can think to comment on is the reality tv we watched last night. Heather Mills got kicked off Dancing with the Stars. I was fine with her going. She had something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it is the underlying resentment about her raping Paul McCartney financially in the divorce settlement. Her appearance was odd. It had nothing to do with the leg. Sometimes she would look attractive, but more often she looked haggish. I have no idea how old she is. Very few of the costumes she wore were flattering.
Of the final 6 singers left in American Idol, there are 3 that I think are real good and 3 that aren’t. Phil, Chris and Lakisha should be the next to go in my opinion. Lakisha has an attitude like she is now a diva which is ridiculous. There are a boat load of big black female singers with big voices out there, we don’t need another. Chris is a poor man’s Justin Timberlake, don’t need that either. Phil is just too damn geeky with that big bald head. He looks like he is 40.
Melinda, Blake and Jordin are my top 3. Melinda is just a great singer although she doesn’t really have the persona or image that one would think a winner should have. Blake is very unique and has great style but I don’t think he is a good enough singer to carry it to the end. Ali doesn’t like the shape of his mouth. Jordin is my pick to win it all. With a few packets of slimfast she would be the total package and she is only 17 so the best is yet to come. I am pretty sure even if she doesn’t win it all, she will be the one to emerge as the most successful out of this cast.
The dryer parts are supposed to arrive today. I am crossing my fingers this fixes the problem. Yesterday we got two drip bottle things that we stuck into each of the big planters out front. They release water slowly over time to keep pots from drying out. So far the big flower pots have been doing great and we want to keep it that way.
Ali made some rice pudding from scratch on Sunday. It turned out much better than I expected.
Ali received a post card from some national health care place that is looking for dietitians. It had a bunch of locations where they were looking for people, two that caught my eye were California and Idaho, believe it or not. I said something to Ali last week how I wouldn’t be against using some of our massive amount of timeshare points to go see some remote state like Idaho or Montana. Living in a sparsely populated area holds a degree of appeal to me. The older I get, the more I get sick of traffic, strip malls and hordes of people. What a change of life that would be. If we sold our place here we surely could live like kings in an area like that. Not that it would happen anytime soon but it definitely is a thought that is rolling around my head. There are many issues in our area, mostly tied to it’s popularity and location, that really bug me at times. Hey wait, it gets cold in Idaho doesn’t it….
