Show ends after visits home where everyone is crying, including DC.   Simon says the DC/DA finale will be a "humdinger"  or in Simon-ese a "hum-dinga."   Can't wait!  

See you at Fricker's on Woodman Drive Wednesday at 8 to watch DC win together right??

xoxox,

Nancy

p.s.   does anyone think Archie sometimes sounds like Napoleon Dynamite?  Gosh!   Just askin'!

So, we're down to the final 3..the two Davids and Syesha.   I'd love a Syesha/DC finale, but I'm thinking it will be the double D's.  Go David Cook!  Last night's performances were kind of lackluster, I kept waiting for the "wow" moment ---where's this year's Fantasia "Summertime" or Kat "Over the Rainbow" or Carrie "Alone?"  Maybe they're waiting til the finale.  Maybe that "I am your brother" guy will be back...At least he is fun.  

Numbers are down for Idol, if you call 22-million viewers "down."  But, like anything that's been around for seven years, a tune-up would be in order.   If I were King, here's what I'd do...shorten those stupid auditions to two weeks instead of four.  How many painfully bad singers do we need?   Get to the final 24 faster, then either take the final 12 on tour or just eliminate to the final 10 from the start.   Don't wear the kids out...they have to have some downtime.  Both Davids look exhausted...is it worth it?  Oh yeah, make the results show 30 minutes...Ryan can still have his drama and we won't have the suffer thru stupid filler...although I do like the viewer questions...but it doesn't last long enough for me...it's all about Ryan you know!

All this being said, you know I will be glued to the tube...I can't miss it and I won't stop voting...

We're doing it again...American Idol Finale Party with Fox 45 next Wednesday, thanks to our friends at Fricker's on Woodman Drive!   Make your signs and come watch with us..it all starts at 8!!

Will this all backfire for Archie?  Not my fave as you know...now it's so apparent he's just a puppet and his creepy Dad is using him...ewwww!

Tomorrow night, the final three, Archie, Syesha and David Cook, sing three songs each..Go DC!

Anyhoo...took my friend Ginger to see Rascal Flatts Saturday night at the Nutter Center, along with a gazillion other peeps for the sold out show.   The guys had been scheduled in February, but had to cancel cause Gary was sick.  Dunno about you, but I was left wondering if he was sick again Saturday.  Granted, it was the last show on this tour, but Gary LeVox, who is the lead singer and to me, most dynamic of he, Jay Demarcus and Joe Don Rooney, spent quite a bit of the show sitting on his butt on stage.  Like I said, maybe Gary was sick again.  He sounded great, but bass player Jay did most of the talking...huh?  It's true, and too much singing if you ask me.   There's a reason Gary is the lead singer, Jay, he's better, so pipe down ok?  The guys were pretty loosey goosey, being their last show and all,  but still did a stellar job.   The high point?  Their tribute to the military during, "He Ain't the Leaving Kind" the guys brought out full dressed Marines.  That was awesome!   The only downside, Kellie Pickler didnt' make it back this time...she musta been too busy fishing for SAL-mun.

A spy at the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" taping this week caught this...and producers slowed down the tape of "A.I" where Ryan is reading the phone numbers and Jason mouths what looks like, "Don't vote."   Some people at TMZ think he might be saying, "vote, vote," but it's pretty clear to me he was asking to be sent home...so now it's down to Archie, David Cook and Syesha...you know who I want to win, don't you?

Tell me what you think Jason is saying...

So, of course this lead to us wondering who else is greatly missed.   Dale Sr, Elvis, Joe Nuxhall and Channel 7 meterologist Gil Whitney topped the list.   Who else do you wish was still around?  Lou Emm?  Johnny Walker?  Johnny Cash?  Conway Twitty?   It's very difficult when we lose someone we are so familiar with, they become part of our family, you know?  But maybe that helps us better appreciate those who are still around....Carl Day and Dale Huffman to name a few!

Monday, I'm going to see my accountant dude cause he says I need to put my money in a better place?!   After that, it's Cinco De Mayo!!  Which, literally means, the 5th of May....if you're looking for some fun stuff to do...there's big Cinco parties at Adobe Gila's at the Greene, Pepito's on Wilmington Avenue, (my fave Mexican place), also Fricker's (any of them--I know it's not Mexican, but I like it), Three Amigos on Dixie, or La Fiesta in Troy.  No matter where you go...you have GOT to try the new Bud Light Lime!  Can I just tell you, it's really delish?!   I'm not a big beer girl, but I don't do margaritas (sorry Kenny), but I did try this BL LIme this week and it's really good...it's nice and light with a great lime taste...it comes in a clear bottle so you can see the bubbles....I know that's silly, but I do like to look at it...I've always put lime in my brewski, and to get it all together is what I'm talking about!!!   It's Bud Light Lime....it just came out, but you can get it any where now...make sure you order lots of chips and salsa...and DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE PLEASE!

Do you do the same thing, eat or drink the same thing daily or weekly?

 My younger brother Mike, had Pizza in some form everyday of his life for about 20 years!

Pizza, pizza bread, pizza rolls pizza subs you name it he ate it everyday.

 For me it was baloney sandwiches for lunch most days when I was in grade school. Yes, it's a staple of many of lunch boxes in America. But man, I couldn't eat them for the longest time after grade school.

 In college, it became Chef Boyardee in a can all the time. Since that time, I've had it maybe three times. I go over board on things then get tried of it.

Do you believe you can't get to much of a good thing? What have you done or are you still doing after all these years?

Get well soon Kenny!    How have you hurt yourself on the job?   I am just way too klutzy.  Yanked out my entire fingernail once when I was a bank teller.  Another time at the company softball game, I got hit in the mouth with the ball and didnt' think any thing of it til some of my friends looked in shock as my front tooth was knocked backward!   Try finding a dentist at 5pm on a Friday!   I did tho, and he pulled it back in place, but the trauma "killed" it anyway.  Had to have a root canal!  Where's the margaritas when I needed it?
