So now I know what that saying means. Just to know that you get to be with your best friend for life...what a feeling! The wedding went off without a hitch. I would not have changed a thing. Lots of family and friends showed up, the food and company were incredible, and the love for the happy couple was overwhelming. I'm so glad we decided to have the wedding rather than eloping. All the bad

So here I am waiting on a flight to get back to Houston from Dallas. So tired. Can't wait to get home. No idol post about Bucky or anything. Bummer.So I am on the 7:30 flight and it's now 7:20 and no plane. The 5:30 flight just left and it was packed. I forgot that it was the day before a holiday weekend. See, we don't get Good Friday off. We have to work. Bummer.So the people on the

Fast post today! Just American Idol news...So it looks like someone has actually seen Fantasia now. I missed the first few minutes of the show...did they even say anything about her being there?Obscurity, thy name is Fantasia. It must have been that "baby mama" song.It looks like Chris has a new "beard-do." Finally figured him out too...Yes, that's Wooly Willy...the classic game where you move

During the next couple of weeks, you can expect the blogging to get few and far between, due to the upcoming wedding! I'll be getting married to my wonderful, beautiful, sexy fianc on the 22nd! Here's to hoping all two of you who read this blog can handle the sensory deprivation. Lots of work going on with taking time off soon! I promise I will keep everything updated as much as possible!

Last night's American Idol was full of surprises. You can't tell me you didn't think Ace, Bucky and Katharine were the bottom three!But before we get to that, Madisa showed Ryan that she ain't playin' that whole "pull my finger" game.Considering what happened later in the show, maybe she should have just gone along with it.Kenny Rogers showed up again, and his long lost twin was finally

So Brokeback Mountain is out on video, and Wal-Mart has done kids everywhere a favor by stocking it next to Sesame Street right on the end of the aisle.

Congrats are in order for the Florida Gators who have won the NCAA Tournament championship! This year was the most boring final four...and the games leading up to it were so exciting this year. I'm sure ratings were way down as well. But that Shining Moment gets me every time. Anyhoo...congrats Florida and yada yada yada. 24 was good last night...almost a little breather from the wildness.

So here I am, one month into this thing they call blogging. I thought it was time to take it back "old school" all the way back to the end of February and talk about how things have changed since I began blogging all those many many days ago. I know it's hard to remember all the way back, but at least try.So the fianc is still the fianc, although this blog did give her a new nickname, and we're

I know I promised a post yesterday to make up for the totally lame post on Friday, but it seems that I have come down with the stomach flu...please forgive!

There's a new device that tells you if you're boring or irritating other people. I know a few people who could actually use this. Do they have it at Wal-Mart?Watch out!

Here's what's interesting to me today...There's a crazy clawed cat in Connecticut that continuously pounces on poor pedestrians and rips them to shreds! "Ding-dong...Avon calling! RRRAAAAARRHH!!!!" The authorities have issued a restraining order against the cat. Can you do that? Does that actually work? Cats are so fun!!! UGH.Ever wonder where the Whopper Jr. comes from? We may have an answer.

Here's what interests me today!There's a story from the AP on actual rejected Hallmark cards.

So, the folks at Vote for the Worst have chosen their next person to vote for on American Idol. In the past they have championed lots of other Idol contestants who seemed to be there just to annoy us. But Kellie Pickler as the worst? Come on. What about Bucky? Lisa? It seems that with all the publicity they have been getting in the past week, they have a bit of egg on their faces after they tried

The latest in a line of bizarre Web sites promoting products that have slipped the public consciousness is Butterfinger's Follow the Finger The finger is a little scary though (what made the finger brown?). Best line: "Feel free to pass the time by playing with our monkey." Monkey aside, there's lots to play with, but the Winterfresh site still holds the number one spot for me, if only for the

Idol news on Tuesday? Well we had to get you on the lookout for this one. It seems that Taylor is "gradually washing the gray out of his hair." Can it be true?

It seems there has actually been a study that proves what the music file sharing community has known for years. File sharing actually is GOOD for the music industry.

Here's what's interesting to me today...I have told lots of people how I survived working at a fast food restaurant from when I was 15 to when I was 23...and eating the same thing every day.

McGill McBites it! So who didn't know that was going to happen on 24 this season? Seems the hobbit may have had more to do than be on a little TV show. At least they gave him a good death scene. Goodbye Rudy!Chloe continued to mourn her "friend" Edgar's death (for a whole, like, 20 minutes). How were they friends again? All I ever saw was her being annoyed by him - and her being annoying.

It's been a little crazy lately. The fianc thinks I'm losing my mind. Saturday I hit myself in the head with the remote to prove a point. It wasn't my most shining of moments. I think things are getting to me a bit where the wedding is concerned. I was reminded today that the end goal is to be married and to spend the rest of my life with my soul mate, and that if no one even shows up for the

Happy weekend! Lots of cleaning and organizing going on. I got a DVD recorder and have been tranferring my bulky VHS tapes to DVD. Some of them are 20 years old, so they're ready to fall apart. I'm glad I could save them at the state they are now. I have old episodes of Guiding Light from the 80s, as well as old Saturday Night Live skits, the PTL Club with Jim and Tammy Bakker.

Before we get to American Idol news today, there's a new scam out there that has to do with Debit cards. Apparently the PIN numbers are not as safe as we once thought.This brought me to an article on the dangers of debit cards that is going to make me cut mine up.

So Houston is under a tornado watch. That big dark cloud just passed over my office here and there was actually some DRIZZLE involved. Houston forecasters are just bad. I'll be hiding in my non-existent basement until 1:00 to ensure my safety.

Couldn't help but start out today's post with a little about the incredible television phenomenon that is 24. Amazing eposides and finish last night. Seeing Edgar bite the dust as his and Chloe's unrequited love died. Poor guy.

The Oscars are done and over, and it seems they spread the wealth out this year rather than one film running away with everything. The Brokeback fans are disappointed they didn't go home with the top prize. From what I have heard (the last movie I saw was Dukes of Hazzard-hated it) Crash was an even more compelling movie than Brokeback, so I was not surprised. Didn't John Stewart do a great

The wedding invitations are stuffed and ready to go out the door! The fianc is still a bit stressed out, so I am trying to do whatever I can.That said, I'm not a huge Simpsons fan but this is really fun. It's a live action version of the opening sequence.

It's a lazy day here with some much needed rest. Just laundry and TV. Going out to dinner tonight and getting the invitation envelopes for the upcoming wedding. My fianc is a bit worn out and needs rest, so I am leaving her to her HGTV and Food Network for the next little while.So at work on Friday my boss calls me into his office asking me if I want to laugh.

I have just received a phone call telling me that it's fiancee, not fiance. Guess who it was from? My fiance. I have now therefore decided to leave out all "e"s from the word from now on.I love my fianc very much! Hmm...that sounds French. Or maybe Italian?Special thanks to my fianc for the correction!

I got some great news last night. My cousin got engaged! I'm so overjoyed right now! My fiance set them up as a "thank you" for setting us up! Now we're all going to be related! It's a good day! There are lots of exclamation points in that last paragraph! I'm calm now.So I wooted a remote the other night and it works great.

Still feeling sick from all the Krispy Kremes yesterday. Not a good idea. The total tally was 17 doughnuts - about 7 chocolate glazed and the rest original glazed. Go away Krispy Kreme. Go away.
