My Reality Show Favorites.........Lost!

This extremely handsome, debonair, hunk of a man is Gilles Marini, a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
It was so much fun to have a contestant to drool over while Ken was panting over Julianne, Edita and every other female dancer on the show. He should have won too. Besides being so darn pretty he can really dance.
















Adam Lambert was my pick to win American Idol from the first week of the show. I really didn't think there was anyway he wouldn't win, but he didn't. He shouldn't have any trouble making it in the music business though he can sing anything. His pitch is perfect and his vocal range is unbelievable. His version of Mad World was my favorite performance. Loved it, loved it!

I did pick one winner this season. Way to go JT for winning Survivor.

Maybe now that all my favorite reality shows are over I'll get my flowers planted, the house cleaned, laundry done and everything else I've neglected for the past 10 weeks.

Camping Fun (NOT!)

This is where we like to camp in the spring because it's close to home and the fishing is pretty good. We left Friday after work even though I wasn't feeling very well. Thursday I had the chills and an upset stomach but I didn't feel any worse Friday so I thought it was a 24 hour bug and I would feel better by Saturday morning. I was so wrong! All I'm going to say about it is that camping is the last thing you want to be doing when you have what I did. Whatever I had (have) has knocked me on my butt. This is the 5th day of this crud, but I am finally starting to feel better.


This was our second trip to Black's Pond this year, the first was the weekend before when we left in a torrential rainstorm. By the time we got there it was just sprinkling so we set up camp and settled in for the night when the generator conked out on us. Ken couldn't get it started but said not to worry we have the battery, well....we had a dead battery. So that night was spent without lights, heat or water. We did have a nice quilt covered bed, so we settled in for the night, but it rained most of the weekend so that camping trip was rather dismal too.

We're going to wait a few weeks before we try camping again.

May 13, 2009

Today is May 13th and this is the scene from the door of the school where I work. Adding insult to injury......it is 34 freakin' degrees outside. By the time I went home for lunch I had to scrape 2 inches of snow off my car! I may deck the next person that says we're lucky to be getting the moisture.
