Hump day...

I just like the sound of that. I don't know why. Hump Day. Just sounds a little more exciting than Wednesday.

I ran by the grocery store after work...picked up a frozen lasanga, corn, salad, and Texas toast. After all that worry about putting a good meal on the table...M and A tell me that "they aren't much on lasanga." I didn't pitch a fit...but I wanted to. All the worrying and stressing over cooking and they don't freaking like anything I fix. I can make everything from scratch or I can heat and serve...and they don't freaking care. They'd just as soon have chili dogs or Fruit Loops. But I want to fix healthier meals. They are stressing me out.

Anyhoo...(I've decided that I love that word.)...the world stops, of course, when American Idol comes on. Here's my impression from last night.

Carrie: Awww....her mama's so sweet. She sounds like me talking about A. What's so cool is that I believe her completely. I just know that Carrie is a really sweet, gen-u-wine girl...and she makes her mama proud. Mama, you raised that girl right! As for her performance tonight, I liked that she got back to her country roots but I don't think this song showcased Carrie's strong vocals. It sounds as though she's trying to scream over the music. Carrie's talent is far beyond what we heard tonight. She has one ten-year old fan in my house...that's for sure.

Bo:So cool that we finally get to meet Caroline. She seems so sweet and devoted to Bo. Performance-wise...all I can say is BO ROCKS MY SOCKS! Unlike Simon, I think even he made the outfit work. Cool, Bo!

Anthony: Bless his heart. He's got such a sweet family. I liked his performance, too. I don't know what it is about this guy but I just like him. I like him differently than I like Bo. My heart doesn't go all spastic with Anthony like it does with Bo. Maybe Anthony "soothes" me. That's not a bad thing. After having my socks rocked by Bo, soothing is good.

Vonzell: Awwwww....her brother is going to have girls knocking his door down. He's so sensitive. Vonzell has this way about her that makes me think she wants to be my best friend. I mean...she's just the kind of person that you want to hang out with. Sweet, down to earth...just precious. I think her performance was aw-ite but she didn't knock it out of the ballpark this week. I still like her.

Constanine: Ugh. Gross. Ugh. I want this scuzz to go home.

Scott: I'm sorry but this guy does NOT represent the average man. I'd say that would be BO. I mean Bo represents doing what you love even though you may not make lots of money...following your dream....a real Southern gentleman. Oh, sorry...I keep getting back to Bo. I wasn't real impressed with his family's interview. The other interviews were real. It seemed like they were trying to act like they were something they weren't. It was like they were lying. Maybe they weren't but I didn't "trust" them. Where was that baby's mama? This man is not my idol. (But we all know who is.) I liked this song but he didn't do a good job with it. I thought Simon was a bit harsh. The boy knows he's going home one day. He knows he is not THE AMERICAN IDOL. There's no need to be hurtful. Guess my Southern roots are showing here. I just don't see the need to be rude.

(I am not being rude when I give my impressions. I am not on stage in front of millions of people...making tears come to the contestants eyes. If any of the contestants read this (I don't think they do...grant you.), I am sorry if you get a less than glowing review but this is my blog. It is where I write my thoughts and opinions.)

Bottom three this week: Scott, Constantine, and Vonzell
Scott is packing his bags now.
