+American Idol and, oh, it is our anniversary :-)
Is it just me or did the singers on American Idol totally suck last night? I mean, sheesh…like it was worse than a bad talent show. After the first couple of singers who were pretty good the rest of them just sucked except for that guy whose wife dies of cancer. He was good. But other than that and like the first four people it was excruciating. Especially that Stevie girl. And that really pretty girl. Casey. I mean who the hell sings the Police? I have never seen anyone on Idol sing the Police to good reviews. Do these people not take notes from previous seasons? Seriously. I mean I hate the Police. Always have. But at least Sting is listenable cause he sings on key. This girl is lucky she is hot. That is all I can say. The Police and Michael Jackson. Just stay away from them, folks.
So they seem to be be doing the eliminations differently this year where they are grouping them into 12 people then eliminating 9 at once from each group? That just seems kind of unfair cause it seems like we should be able to see them sing more than once before picking the top 12 and the groups really matter. I mean what if the best 12 singers are all in one group? We should be able to pick the best 12 out of all 36 people. It just doesn’t seem right.
Also, this Kara person just seems a little crazed to me. But that is neither here no there i guess. She just kind of creeps me out. Still love Simon though. He tells it like it is. Totally my style. That is how I would judge. No bullshit.
One more thing. Tatiana is completely insane. Still. Completely crazy. I hope she makes it through in a Sanjaya kind of way. I think she would brighten every week for me. So many of the singers on the show are so bland. We need a little crazy to spice things up. Sanjaya ruled. Tatiana will rule! I am so crossing my fingers.

So it is me and Joe’s anniversary tomorrow. 4 years. No shit. 4 years. And you know what? I am still so happy with him. I have had three long term relationships in my life and I can truly say that 4 years in to the other 2 I was not happy and was in them because I am a commitment kind of person who doesn’t like to fail even to the point of sticking with something not working. But with Joe it is so different. He is, after 4 years, the single person I most like to spend time with outside of my kids. Really. I love just hanging out with me. He makes me laugh. He loves me to death. He is smart. He is sexy. He is sweet. He is everything and I can’t imagine life without him. I am so lucky to have him.
So tonight I made him an anniversary cake. A vegan chocolate cake with cegan chocolate icing with a layer of bananas in the middle. I finished it and put 4 candles on it and came into the office with the lit candles on the cake singing “Happy Anniversary to You.” It was so great. He looked so happy. So then we both made wishes and blew the candles out. I couldn’t eat it cause it has soy in it and I am allergic to soy. But he declared it yummy nad had a second slice! Success!
So tomorrow for our anniversary dinner we are going to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. We always do these expensive anniversary dinners but I think we are all feeling the effects of the recession, me included, and I wanted to something low key. Joe loves fried chicken and I really wanted this anniversary to be about Joe. So Roscoe’s has by far the best fried chicken in town. And I will have a yummy waffle. And it is about us and not the fancy restaurant and I am really excited about it.
Anyway. I love Joe. That’s all.
