American Idol

Wow! Melinda "Do a Lot" did outstanding. I just love her! I really thought Melinda, LaKisha and Jordin did wonderful. I really enjoy their singing and performances. I have to say I was disappointed in Stephanie. I expected a whole lot more than what she brought. I was just surprised. I have to say I even enjoyed Blake's performance. After tonight, I think I've changed my mind set on Sanjaya. I like him! He has great hair, he admits he's not the best singer in this competition, he makes young girls cry and he is humble enough to give that girl a huge. I still say HE CAN NOT SING, but he's cute. Poor Chris Richardson! I think Simon points out that Chris sounds nasally. I hate to say it, but I honestly think that's the way he sings. I don't think he can possibly change. I hope I'm wrong.

I've been keeping my eyes open for a pair of Mickey Mouse Crocs for Katie. I was beginning to think the sizes for these shoes start at size 6. We went to Belk's today, just to check out any bargains. I thought I would check out the Crocs once again and to my surprise, there they are. A pair of red/black Mickey Mouse Crocs in size 4/5. Woo Hoo!!!! We found them! Katie fell in love with them. I could not pry them from her possession until she fell asleep in the car. All I heard through the Belk store was "Mouse, Mouse." She was so happy, huging on her new shoes. Peggy asked me if I knew how to make an Easter Egg tree. I decorated a tree the first year Doug and I were married and it didn't turn out too good because there were no holes at the end of the plastic eggs and I was not about to decorate with real eggs. My Mom would use really eggs to decorate an Easter Egg tree. It always looked so nice, but it took a lot of work. Well, I checked out Wal-Mart's plastic eggs (not expecting them to have holes at the ends of the egg) and to my surprise, they have holes now. I'm learning all kinds of stuff today. I went ahead and got Peggy and us a bag of eggs. Needless to say, I made us an Easter Egg tree today. I have to say that it looks good. Katie had to help me of course. I have a feeling I'm going to have my hands full this Spring/Summer. It seems to me that Katie loves to get filthy dirty every time she plays outside. I don't care if it's just to walk around the yard. I think dirt is attracted to her or vice versa.

Put On Your Calendar
Women of Faith Conference - August 10-11, 2007 in Atlanta, GA at the Philips Arena. The group speakers will include the following: Luci Swindoll, Patsy Clairmont, Sheila Walsh, Nicole Johnson, Marilyn Meberg, Anita Renfroe, and Sandi Patty (great singer). The special guests will be: Nicole Mullen & Carol Kent. I'm not familiar with Mullen & Kent, but I do know the others and they are great. You will laugh, cry and take back a lot of mixed emotions, which I personally feel it is the Holy Spirit awakened and ready to do some work in your life. Women of Faith will not have a conference in Alabama this year, but if you have the opportunity to go to Atlanta, GA or Houston, TX (Sept. 28-29, 2007), please go and you will get a wonderful blessing. I promise! Here's the link for convenience: http://www.womenoffaith.com/conferences/dates/07dates.asp . Hopefully Women of Faith will be coming to a town near you.
