Congrats to Jordin!!!

I'm not surprised that Jordin won AI last night but it does shock me that she's only 17!! Here she is singing, what will probably be her first single, after her win last night.

American Idol

Can I just say that Jordin kicked Blake's butt last night? I really hope she takes it. I have to root for anyone who makes me cry while she's singing.

I found this on YouTube for Mike. Our Tivo cut out right as he was beginning to sing. So, here's Chris Daughtry singing Home on American Idol last night! It's hard to believe he only came in 4th last season. He really should have won it all. Oh well. Doesn't look like it's hurt his career any. Enjoy!

Didn't See This Coming

Raise your hand if you were shocked that Melinda was voted off of American Idol last night. My hand is raised way up in the air. I had said that I would love a Blake/Jordin Finale but I didn't think it would actually happen. When they told Jordin she made it through to next week and Melinda and Blake were left, I really thought they'd send Blake home. Not that I didn't like Melinda, because I did. She's a great singer but I think that Blake and Jordin would make albums that I would actually listen to.

So now, we have two left. Who's going to win? I seriously don't know. Either one could take it, but I think I may have to go with Jordin for the win this season.

It's A Good Day

Seriously! It is because Sanjaya was finally voted off American Idol. It's about time. I do have to say that it'll be sad to not have his hair in the competition, though. I was really worried because the bottom three had Blake in it. So not cool. My guess is that so many people were voting for Chris that they didn't vote for Blake. I did tell Mike that if Blake had been voted off instead of Sanjaya (or Lakisha for that matter) I was done with AI. As soon as they sent Blake back to safety, I told Mike that I was glad that I could continue enjoying the show.

We caught the end of another good show, Thank God You're Here, since we went to a good Mexican restaurant after Tae Kwon Do last night. This has become Mike's favorite show. During one of the warm up rounds, they had the contestants pretending to be chefs promoting their new restaurant, The Buddha Baby. Ordinarily, that wouldn't have been funny, but we used to call Daniel 'Buddha Baby' when he was an infant. We all had a really good laugh about that.

I got the rest of the backyard done yesterday and got a few things planted. Some hydrangeas, daisies, pink coneflowers and black-eyed susans. It looks so sparse right now and I have to resist the urge to plant much more in there because I know that once they are full size, they'll be huge and will fill up most of the area. The hydrangeas alone are 4-5 feet across and high and there are two of them in there. I can't wait until midsummer when everything should be blooming...that is if I don't manage to kill everything off.
