American Idol Finale

Adam Lambert was amazing in last night's American Idol finale. I wish I could see his number with the rock group 'Kiss' again. His outfit...what a sense of style, plus the voice, of course. It was disappointing to hear that he was not voted the winner despite being the judges' favourite, but I gained some closure reading about half of the 400 plus comments in the news article below! Let's hope we can see a lot more of him, including buying one of his future CDs. Even my 6 year old nephew is upset and angry even though his mom prepared him just in case. K likes Kris Allen.

A friend and I went for a walk this morning, it was already t-shirt weather. Well, the contractor needs to see where I want to hang all the fixtures now.

We're having a gorgeous, summery week, but as soon as it gets too hot, the next thing we do is complain about the heat!

I forced myself to go to my aerobics class today, just felt lazy. But I'm glad I did, I feel really good now. I tried to book L in for her G2 driver's test but they're telling me that if her G1 issue date is less than one year, then she has to wait for her certification from the driving school that she has completed the training. In which case, I think it's only an 8 month wait. So that should be sent out shortly. It hasn't quite been a year since her G1 was issued. She wanted to get the test done before her upcoming wisdom tooth surgery, but there's no rush really.

K has been invited to a birthday party on Friday. The boy's actual birthday was in December, but these days... L wants to celebrate her birthday party (a few months late) before the summer starts while all her friends are still in town.

A good day

We seem to be having a good day today. The contractor finally located the bath tub faucet that we were waiting for and work has started again, hopefully to be finished soon! Then just as I was thinking I really have to call the bricklayer to ask if he is coming to repair our decorative wall, he shows up today! He had forgotten the house number, but it's a great week to do that kind of repair weatherwise. Something had gone wrong with the work he did on it last year, and he agreed to take responsibility for the work.

Pasta and Fish

L is glued to the TV, watching the Nadal/Federer tennis finals in Madrid. Unfortunately, she forgot about it and made lunch plans to meet a friend up the street, so she'll have to leave before it's over. She is such a Nadal fan, we were talking about how fit he is, that he's not even out of breath after some of the moves he makes. So I said, 'I wonder what he eats'. She immediately replies, 'pasta and fish'. So I really should start cooking more fish. Then I go, 'It's sort of like how I know everything about Adam Lambert...did you know he's into astrology?' And we laugh.

I'm making lasagna for today. Then K and I are doing homework. M says he's going to give the cars a spring cleanup.

Video removed

It seems that American Idol removed that video of Adam Lambert from youtube that I posted yesterday, and it doesn't seem available on their own website. Maybe they plan to release it after next week for sale!

The other big news below is that high blood pressure may be caused by a virus! Wow.

K's news from school was that his friend's brother recently got his driver's licence. Then the boy decided to take his dad's new sport mercedes out for a spin on the highway unknown to the father. But somehow he put it into Manual transmission by mistake and it ruined the engine because he was driving it like it was in normal automatic mode. He's been grounded for 2 months and his dad's not speaking to him. Life can be tough.

I also took K in for his DTAP booster shot earlier this week. It's something you get around 14 years old, but a lot of his friends don't seem to be aware of it. That would be Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis boosters.

One, Adam Lambert - Studio

One of my sisters is really impressed with this full studio version of One, by Adam Lambert and I have to agree, I'd buy this one. It's a softer version of the one he sang last Tuesday night.
