American Idol Poll

Should Norman Gentle be put through tonight? I like him, but I don't know that he should go through over other talented contestants. You have to admit it though, he was hilarious!!!

What's your take on Obama's Speech?

So, did you watch the speech last night? What's your take on it?

Here's mine... I thought it was brilliant! He spoke directly to me, directly to the American people. Waking up this morning, I, along with 85% of the American people feel more optimistic about the country's direction.

He made me feel confident that the economy WILL turn around. He TOLD me that education was a top priority and laid out plans to help parents with small children as well as those that are heading off to college. He gave assurance that he would allocate the military in the places that we need it most. He talked about the banks and the auto industry and said with no uncertain terms that he would not put up with executives who abuse bailout money. I liked what he said about the auto industry. I wasn't 100% on board with bailing out the auto industry at first but when he said he just couldn't let the industry die when we were the first inventors of the automobile, it made sense to me. He spoke about health care and his plans to help all Americans obtain health care.

This all may be what he's said before, but this time he was precise, direct and gave timelines for when he expects his plans to be rolled out. He directed his cabinet as well as the American people to step in, step up and make a difference.

My favorite quote, "We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before."

Simply stated, BRILLIANT!

Mama Mia

Can you even imagine? I don't understand how your skin stretches that much. How do you not just burst?

What is going on with Joaquin Phoenix?

God works in mysterious ways.

Speaking of American Idol...

Who's your favorite Idol?



I can tell you who my least favorite is! What's your take on this chic? My opinion, she's a HOT MESS!

Pacitti Out

Joanna Pacitti, American Idol 2009 Finalist has been kicked off the show because of her previous recording contract. Now they knew this going in, because I've heard discussions from the judges about it as well as Joanna discussing it herself. What are your thoughts on her being kicked off? What are your thoughts on her "Let It Slide" video?

Since my profession is in Accounting, the first of the year is so busy for me. I've been trying to get things squared away with year end at work as well as traveling back to see Family in NC. I will be back to making regular posts once I get things squared away at work. Hope everyone is having a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Talk to you soon.

The Polar Express


We took Laura on The Polar Express train ride in Palestine this weekend. The ride is as close to the movie as you can get. When you get to the station, and are standing in line the conductor yells out "ALL ABOARD". We get on the train, take our seats and enjoy our cookies and Hot Chocolate on the way to the North Pole. Once arriving at the North Pole, we saw where Santa lived with all the elves. The Conductor asked us all for our tickets and proceeded to stamp a "B" in each of them. Then we thought it was time to head back to the station, when guess who arrived? Santa!!! Santa came on board and handed out bells from the reindeer to each of the children. Laura's eyes were lit up the entire time. All of the children were dressed up in their PJ's, slippers and robes. It was one of the most magical moments I can remember. Anyone who has a chance to do it, please do. It's well worth it. During the ride, the cooks are all dancing and singing in the aisles. They also read the book before arriving at the North Pole. It was truly amazing.

WHOA!!!

I had no idea Barack had all of this behind that suit!

My heart aches.


My heart simply aches for this little girl, Caylee Anthony. I can not believe that anyone could ever do this to a child and if evidence proves that her mother is the one that did it, it makes it that much sadder.

It seems today that they have identified the remains found last week to be that of Caylee Anthony. Such a sad day.

Why is this woman being so nonchalant?

This lady just kills me. She is acting like this is not a big deal and it is!
