So I'm sitting here at home, putting my sister's birthday present together to send to her next week. And I'm watching American Idol, Stevie Wonder version.
It's great. I know I'm a dork, but I have been really sucked into it. This is the first season I've watched all the way, and I definitely have my favourites.
In no particular order, I think the following have the most potential:
Elliot, Mandisa, Katharine, Taylor and last but in no way least, Chris Daughtry.
Stevie Wonder is really hard to sing, and it seems to me that these five have really been able to be the most consistent and show the most natural talent the whole way through. While the others have all had the talent to make it to the show, these few have really impressed me.
I can't believe I'm sitting here critiquing the talents of American Idol wannabes.
Anyway, life has begun to settle down now. The job is becoming a little more comfortable, and I'm doing some side graphic design work. Mike and I went to Oregon, IL for the weekend, with my parents, to a weekend home that some family friends own. It was great just to kick back even for a few short hours and just get away from it all.
It's been such a busy two years, and I feel like I am only just now starting to focus on the things I used to do before we got engaged. I suddenly have been missing my horse riding so much. I rode a horse called Rocky for two years and we did well together. In particular I miss my teacher so much - she came to the wedding and it meant to much to me that she and her husband came all the way from their new home to celebrate with us. I should go visit her soon.
Sigh.

Agreed - except substitute Paris for Mandisa. And, did you know that Elliot is from my hometown?? I feel like he's the underdog in a lot of ways (despite the fact that he has a great voice...) so I feel drawn to rooting for him. I didn't know you were so into it. I never have been before either. We'll have to chat on Tuesday nights.
