Lost, Idol and a New Mini-Van...

Lost

Lost comes on tonight. I love that show. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a TV person but I make sure I a home on Wednesday night if Lost is not a repeat. If you haven't seen it, rent the first season on DVD, catch the reruns and watch the new ones cuz' it is great TV. Any TV you just hate to miss?


American Idol

Is Chris Daughtry the best or what?! That guy is just hands down the best Idol this year. I don't watch American Idol much but Dean and E are fanatics. E calls in and votes every week. I am usually on the computer or cleaning. The first time I heard Chris sing I was on the computer and all the other guys had sung, I had heard them but not looked up to see them because none of them made me want to really listen. The minute he opened his mouth I was like "dang, that guy can sang!!" Last night Dean and I were watching "Diary of a Mad Black Women" I told E to come tell me when Chris and Taylor sang, Chris was awesome, Taylor was kinda disappointing but I didn't care about anyone else. I like Mandesa, before Idol she was one of Beth Moore's singers, so there is a special place in my heart for her but Chris is it! Taylor is just plane fun to watch. He is entertaining and he sings great. My top three wish is Mandesa, Taylor and Chris as the winner. Who's you favorite?


Our New Van

We have been a one car family for several years. We now have a Pontiac Montana Minivan. It's a 1999 and it is in perfect condition. We are just beside our selves with excitement about this blessing! Dean was looking for a new car for several weeks. We knew it would strap us in way too tight so when this came available it was such an answer to prayer. We got it from Shawn and Kerry Wilkerson, we got a deal and God will bless them for their blessing us.

I like to say I'm a "Four wheel drive-Red-Ford F-150" but Dean has always said I'm a "gold Minivan" I guess he was right for now. And seeing how I am the preacher of Christian Environmentalism and the champion of the hybrid, I guess I will never own a F-150. If I could afford my choice, now it would be a Ford Escape Hybrid SUV. The SUV really is a good mix of the mini van and the truck isn't it? Feather-Iron,Minivan-Truck, yea the Escape is me! What vehicle are you?

As for as I'm concerned, the competition is OVER! Chris is dominating. the question is who's #2? I say Elliott.

I totally agree about Chris, they need to just end the competition now and let him hurry up and record his album so I can buy it. The dude rocks.

Later,
Chris

I look forward each week to hear 4 people sing..Chris first! he's so awesome! then Elliot! I just love his voice, then Taylor, he makes me smile and giggle and then Mandisa!! she is sooo pretty and she looked her best this week. Man she was beautiful! I think Chris will win it but who do yall think will be the final 3?

i'm with you all the way except for the absence of elliot in your final three. not that i know how to get all four (mandesa, taylor, elliot and chris) all in the top three spots, but chris is absolutely THE MAN. i'm glad to know i'm not the only one thinking that. i told vicki today that i'd buy an album of his right now. and i don't buy a lot of music in album format (usually just itunes songs lately - not the whole album).

anyway - i was mainly glad to see chicken little finally get booted. dang, he was annoying. i'm sure God loves him, but i was really having a hard time with paula's raving over him as though he actually fit in the competition with chris and elliot and taylor and mandesa and paris and really anyone else up there. sheesh.

But Did You Die?

Image
Funny how life smacks you in the face with yourself. And it will smack you in the face with everything else. Both good and bad and at the same time too often. This last year I've said to myself more times than I can count, "But did you die? No? So shut the hell up. Buck up! Grow a damn vagina Carole! No one else is going to do it, you have to!" And somehow I make it through another day. The great benefit of being raised by a single mother and watching my sister live her life, balls to the wall is I KNOW I can rise to the occasion simply because I'm alive. I am in pain everyday in my heart and in my body. I have Frozen Shoulder. My entire left arm hurts all day every day pretty much. I'm in physical therapy which helps. Motrin helps. I have to take it before bed and get up and take it during the night.  I'm left handed and it is of course my left arm. Washing my hair is difficult. I can't reach back to my bra strap with my left hand. The joy o

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

Sneaking Back In Through the Window

Image
It was a cool, starless, October 7th 1982. I was 15 years old and I was climbing back into my house through my bedroom window at 4am after a night of partying. It wasn't a low window but it wasn't super high up either. Kinda' mid way between the roof and the ground. It was a normal, mid sized window. I had flung my leg up onto the ledge, ducked my head into the open window pane just as the phone rang inside my house. I jerk lifted my head hitting it on the window, startled by the ringing of our phone in the formerly silent darkness of my house. What the?! Why was the phone ringing at 4am? Crap! Someone must be calling mom to tell on me! A neighbor? Crap! Maybe it's a cop who saw me cruising around town! I don't even remember who I was with that night or why I had sneaked out.  I dove into the window,  I heard mom running down the hall past my door, to the kitchen to answer the phone. I ran to my bed across the room and dove under the covers fully dres
