He Did It!

YES! My boy did it!

I'm sure you could assume that this morning you would get a post about Kris, and you're right. And I guess I can promise you it will be my last post about Kris until I buy his album.

I was so deleriously happy last night, you honestly would have thought I actually am friends with Kris in real life. I was jumping up and down on the couch, screaming, crying, laughing, yelling, and generally freaking out my husband. Kris winning was SO unexpected to me (and to him, I think!) I just could not stop talking about him. Long after the show ended and we were laying in bed I was trying to start a conversation about how happy we are for Kris but Peter was just not having it. He was all, let it go, Ali! So, here's me letting it go..

I'd like to think I had a part in him winning. I voted hundreds of times for him on Tuesday night and generally talked him up the entire season. I've been talking about him on here since February. I don't expect to get any sort of thank you card or anything from Kris, but maybe he could just stop by and say hi before he jet's off to whatever fabulous tour destination he'll start at like Detroit or something. I mean, I think I deserve some credit for being such a die-hard fan.

Anyway, I'm proud of my boy and I will be buying his first, second, third, and many album's to come because I truly think he will be a successful musician.

*I am joking about thinking he owes me anything, and I loved Kris from the begining it had nothing to do with disliking Adam. I think Adam is very talented and will go far so please no hate mail from fans.

Mind Dump

I feel like I have so much to talk about but I've been so BUSY lately I don't have time to blog. This busy life thing is new to me! I started my job yesterday and oh my let me tell you it's wonderful, I love it, and I think I'm going to be very happy working there. So now my mission is to find another part time gig.

Moving on... Remember way back in March where I told you all that I loved Kris Allen here? I can barely contain my excitement that he's in the finals. My throat may or may not hurt this morning because I screamed so loud when my guy Ry told Kris he was IN. My husband thinks I'm ridiculous. I also cried my eyes out when they showed his home-town visit. What is wrong with me?



In other news, I jumped onto another bandwagon this week. Yesterday was my second day of Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred. If you've been following my twitter you know that on my first go around of the Shred I mentioned that I though that Jillian is a heartless bia, and to quote my favorite movie, "that was way harsh." I don't think she's heartless anymore, because she told me she wants me to have good ab's, but I still think she's a bia. When she tells me I can't take a break I want to punch her in her stupid face.

But I digress..

I'm going to Shred every day for 30 days and hopefully be toned by June.



I am disturbed by the news of Jon & Kate. I am obsessed with those children. I've always had thoughts about Kate similar my above thoughts about Jillian but I am so sad for them. Didn't they just go to Hawaii and renew their vows in order to show their children that even though a lot of Mommy's and Daddy's don't stay together forever they will? Damn you reality TV, you are so good but so bad.

I may have a video of my nose getting pierced. Is that too disgusting to show on blogland? What do you think?

Dear American Idol,

While working on my wedding posts, I have some thoughts about American Idol. These are mad thoughts, so be prepared. If you don't watch Idol you have permission to skip this post.

Adam Lambert - your pants are too tight.

American Idol - you are rigging the winner this year, it's completely obvious and I'm not happy. Here's why I think this - Rock genre this late in the game? "Two seasoned rock stars" Adam and Allison were made for this night which I think is completely unfair for Kris and Danny. In other genre's like country and disco they could take a song and sing it more how they want to in their own genre (i.e. Kris changing his songs to sound more Jason Mraz/poppy) but with this rock genre they weren't really at liberty to do this. They had to act like rock stars which clearly they are not!

Kris Allen - I still love you and you do not deserve to go home tonight, but sadly I think you might.

American Idol

Have I mentioned that I love Idol's Kris Allen. Because I do, I love him, and tonight I love him even more. Okay well maybe I mention it every week, but he seriously blows me away. The song he sang this week is from a beautiful but rather unknown film called, Once. Not only do I love the film, the main song that Glen Hasard sings in it is called Falling Slowly and is truly one of my all-time favorite songs. It's one of those songs that I can listen to on repeat and it moves me every time. I am so happy that Kris chose to sing Falling Slowly tonight, I think he did a beautiful job and it was the perfect song choice for him. I don't usually purchase Idol songs on iTunes but I think this week I may have to (along with the entire Kris Allen library, perhaps) because I want to listen to it 25 times and swoon over how wonderful he is.

Anyway I'm going to add the YouTube for Kris's performance. It may not mean as much to you as it does to me. You may not even enjoy the film Once because it's pretty slow, but to me.. this song is brilliant. Well done, Kris.

Idol's and Ryan

Ok, now comes the time on the blog where I profess my love for the reality TV show of the moment. A month or so ago it was the Bachelor and now that it's over I've moved my little heart on to.. American Idol! I've been watching it all along but now is when it get's good and I get really into the contestants and start to fall in love.




First, let me just tell you all that I have an intense dislike for Paula on Idol. I loved her in the mid-nineties, I mean who can forget the video with the animated cat? But truly, her Idol days are just plain awful, I don't know what kinds of drugs/alcohol/whatever this woman is on but I wish she'd just stay quiet during the show. We have a tendency to fast forward when she's talking at the LaLaLand house.

Moving on.. last night's show was Country Night which usually is, awful, but I thought a few of the singers really did great. My favorite Idol this year is Kris Allen because I might (and when I say might I mean I definitely do) have a huge crush on him, I'm pretty sure Peter is sick of hearing me gush over him whenever he's on screen. Last night I might or might not have yelled at him for fast-forwarding when Kris was talking to Ryan. Oops.



I liked Megan's performance and I all around love her voice and her look, but is it just me or was her last name Corkey last week and this week it's Joy, um.. ok. I also think Anoop did amazing. Last week was terrible and I thought he would for sure get kicked off, but his song was, in the words of Randy, "off the chain dawg!" Peter's favorite is Matt Giraud and last night he did amazing too, he really reminds me of Justin Timberlake so I obviously love him!

Ok, one more thing.. I love Ryan. If he had a show called Ryan's BFF I would try out for it. I really would like to be friends with him. That's all folks.
