American Idol + sickness :(

Okay, this is my guess for tonight. If it isn't the male striper/dancer, it will be Kristy Lee Cook. Her voice is wonderful, but I don't know if she can recover from the mess last night. There was just too much noise and chaos in turning that song country. Ewwww...

I know, David Archuleta forgot the words and all, but he's got such a huge fan base (Paige voted 103 times for him), he'll sail through. But - didn't we think the same thing about Chris Daughtry? Should be interesting...

On a personal note, Noah is sick. He started throwing up about 9pm last night, and did so just about on the 1/2 hour throughout the night, till morning. Gut wrenching stuff. Poor guy. I am wiped, as I was up with him, and tried to doze between clean ups. He's keeping down sips of water and ginger ale so far this morning. Little sips. Gotta get back to him.

Weird Wednesday

Here Sophia helped Daddy lug the laundry up from the basement to the 2nd story...

Ted was cutting Noah's hair, and Noah was trying to blow upwards, to keep the hair off his face. Noah's haircut came out fine, I assure you! He wanted a short buzz cut, so Dad was the man for the job.

American Idol - Who's Going Home?

Weird Wednesday

No grass poking through here...

This is the snowbank that sits right in front of our house, I took the picture yesterday afternoon. The front porch is just to the right of what you can see. There are many more snowbanks, all around the yard. I just about gasp when I see your blogs, and see greenery or the signs of spring poking through. It is a warm 51 degrees here today, and is raining, but the temps will drop tonight, and we're forecasted to get 1-3" of ice and sleet tonight, maybe more into tomorrow. It's looking like another snow day for the kiddos...

Goodbye my Friend... (sniff... sniff...)

I'm ready to be a quitter.

Did you know I love chocolate? Yeah. Too much, in fact. Tonight is my final indulgence. The last bag of I will buy, well for quite awhile. You see, I was talking to my friend 'N'. She's not from around here, but will be paying us a visit in July. She mentioned she had a few pounds to lose, and I boldly asked how many. Turns out she wants to lose what I need to lose. Time is ticking, and July will be here soon enough. So... we're going to challenge each other to do it NOW. We're both going to do it.

Oh sure, she wanted to start March 1st, but I wanted my last weekend of delight, before I have to give up the goodies. I had my 'last supper' at the Olive Garden tonight with Paige. I am full of and even . I'm ready now.

We're trying to think of a prize for the one that loses the most, or a negative consequence for the one that doesn't. Something that will motivate us! We've thought of: the one that doesn't lose as much as the other, has to put their picture on the internet, dressed in a bikini. Um... that's a little bit scary I think! I'm a few (just a few) years older then my friend, and what if we both totally behave ourselves, and she's just able to lose more? What if it's out of my hands???? We've also considered the loser paying for the winner's massage or manicure when they come up. Any clever ideas out there?

So tonight at 11:59 PM I will eat my last Hershey Hug... I am done with you my sweet friend...

Gotta run, it's hard to unwrap those Hersey Hugs and type at the same time! Time's a ticking!!!
