American Idol AGAIN!

Okay, as before I am going to be posting this as the show is viewed by my beautiful eyes! LOL

Round 1

David C 5701 – Duran Duran rocks! This was NOT his best performance, but I think part of the problem was that the vocal volume was WAY higher than the band. And maybe he wasn’t as original as times past, but I still love him and YES I am voting him.

Syesha 5702- wow, Proud Mary? I liked the beginning better than the up part…..and apparently there was a dance move that I missed because I was typing here and I have been told that ruined the song. For me, things are getting tight so I am not sure I can vote for her.

Jason 5703 – it was a nice try bringing in the dregs with a Bob Marley song. But I have to say this – even though he’s cute, he needs to go. Go home and kiss your family, Jason. You are my new Brooke!

David A 5704 – Stand by Me???? I am nervous. I actually liked this rendition! My only critique is the fact he brought in the “beautiful girls” part, which threw me off and I didn’t like it. But his singing was very good. Have to think about voting for him…..

Round 2

David C – I didn’t know this song, even when my friend claimed he pictured me as a teen smoking pot listening to it (okay, 2.78 readers, seriously?) I am strongly supporting him and, yes, still love him!

Syesha – was a little surprised at her low cut dress – could she be going for the male votes against the other three guys? Side note: Paula? Seriously? Is she hitting the tequila again? I wasn’t overwhelmed with this rendition but it was okay. Still don’t think I will be voting for her.

Jason – I especially loved the humming parts. Maybe they were the best parts. Three words into it we called him out, but who knows? Maybe the cute factor will save him this week. Not sure……

David A – this is a difficult one for me…..this genre doesn’t resonate with me. I tried to focus on the SINGING and not the SONG.

So, admittedly this is getting much more difficult. Brooke is gone and so is Kristy – who can I beat up on? But Jason has outlived his stay. He IS cute, but he is not even close to the other three singers and really should be the one to go. We shall see what happens.

I voted for David C. My regular friend chose not to vote for anyone. My other two friends voted for David A and Jason (who was voted by a guy, who wanted to vote for the worse one!)

We shall see! Let me know your thoughts if you saw the show!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

More importantly, this is my Grandpa Minard’s birthday – I think he would have been 100 today!

Anyway, not much going on at this present time, except the fact that I made updates to my Mac site! I added some more pics and created a Podcast page. I feel so TALENTED!

Remember, not too many margaritas today!

Adios!

There is MUCH to be happy about

Seriously, this IS Gina writing and I AM happy! And there are NO drugs involved! (LOL – seriously people, do you think I really REALLY take drugs???)

There are many reasons for me to be happy. Here are some of them:

The Angels Rock!

Kenny, my “little angel”, is too cool for words! AND he is about to turn 13!!!!

And my Josh, who has grown so much since this picture was taken in December!

And beautiful Kirstie that actually made it to her assessment testing yesterday. Cutting it to the wire, babe?

And besides my wonderful kids, I am very happy to have friends in my life that are truly caring and REAL! I have had some dreary days, but yet I am blessed beyond measure! I have reason to rejoice!

Saturdays are for the LAZY

Many of you that know me, know I am a morning person. And that is a fair assessment, for it’s true. But recently I have been WAY off track! Staying up until 1am ish, sleeping in. Today, I slept in until after 11 am! ME! Weird! So today I have given up after sleeping so late and have decided TODAY IS A LAZY DAY! Not COMPLETELY lazy, as I have done some homework and assisted with some house items, but still I AM LAZY!

And you know what? That’s okay! Nothing like a day or laziness, Guitar Hero, reading a good novel, and RELAXING!

Fridays Rock and Other Opinions I Hold

  • Fridays rock, no matter what
  • Living in Southern California is very, very nice
  • Teaching your kids to play the guitar is AWESOME
  • I believe I am called to love (and so are you), for Jesus says in Mark 12:29-31 when asked what the most important commandments are, “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

That’s all I got right now!  I know, me – the opinionated one – has a short list!  Wow!
