And gorgeous Italian men - could life get any better?

Idol Bits

Taylor Taylor Taylor

I like Taylor a lot. I did not like tonight's performance as much as I'd hoped but I still really like Taylor. And I am glad the judges enjoyed it as much as they did.

ACE... Oh, wait let me wipe the drool off my chin before it gets all over the keyboard. Okay.

Ace, YUM! The song was such a fantastic choice for him. He sounded great.

And holy crap is he hot! Oh jeez, here comes the drool again.

This Bobby whoever seriously bugged.

A. Quit waving your arms around

B. Shut up and let the judges talk

It only took about two notes for me to loose interest in Kevin.

Many factors could be playing a part in me really liking Chris.

1. Bald guys are hot.

2. I love the background for his performance.

3. I love Bon Jovi and he did a great job with Dead or Alive.

I was very pleasantly surprised by Will Makar. I was skeptical during his little video and when he said what he'd be singing. (something Jackson, I don't remember the title) But I really liked it.

Hated this guys falsetto bit. I was so onboard with Simon.

I am so sick of Paula already. She is really annoying. What is up?!

I feel the need, the need for speed

You Should Drive a Ford Shelby Mustang Cobra

You have an extreme need for speed, even when you're not in a hurry.
And while your flying by, you don't want to look like every other car on the road!

What 2007 Car Should You Drive?

Now this one is right on.

I am an animal!

Your Animal Personality

Your Power Animal: Deer

Animal You Were in a Past Life: Panda

The Animal Personality Test

*pshaw* Right!

Maybe the test will be more accurate for you. Enjoy.

Movie Quote Monday

This is the first installment of Movie Quote Monday. I am sort of a movie line Rain Man. I use movie quotes on a daily basis. Yup, I'm a freak.
Every Monday I will post a movie quote. Take a guess at the movie. Do you like the movie? Do you hate the movie? Did the quote make you laugh? Get the idea? Around Wednesday or so I will put the answer in the comments. Enjoy.

In what movie did a muscular mass of manhood say this:

"You almost had me? You never had me. You never had your car."

The Sap I am

I am such a sap.
I just watched Just Like Heaven. It is the best sappy, romantic movie I have seen in a long time. At the end my heart was all fluttery and I nearly cried. I am going to have to buy this movie.

Now I shall go balance things out with a viewing of The Fast and the Furious.

What is with boys?!

I spent last weekend in Texas visiting my BFF Traci. Before this trip Traci and I planned an 'outing' with her husband, Robert, and his friend, Rick. Rick spent a lot of time hanging out with us during my trip in December. We had a really good time together then and figured we would all have fun again. Going into this weekend I was not really sure if this was 4 people hanging out or a double date. Friday night Traci picked me up from the airport. We went from there to the bowling alley for league night. (Robert, Rick and Traci are bowlers) Traci, Rick and I sat in the tables just off the lanes having a great time. We were having so much fun and laughing so hard that people were staring. When the bowling was done Rick did something that led me to believe this was a date sort of weekend. He paid for my drinks. Am I wrong to take that as a sign? After some more hoopla in the parking lot Traci, Robert and I headed home.

Saturday, the day of the 'outing', Traci and I were getting ready to go when Robert told us that Rick had called to let us know he maybe a little late. Traci talked to Robert privately for a few minutes then returned to the getting ready. After Robert left the house for an errand Traci filled me in on what (to the best of her knowledge) was going on. She told me Rick had been helping a friend through a rough break up with an abusive boyfriend and that she'd shown up at his house upset that he was going out with some girl from California. We kept getting ready and talked about how weird this woman is to show up like that. Rick showed up right on time and said everything was fine. We headed out. First stop, a couple of museums. Rick and I walked together, a bit apart from Traci and Robert. We had a great time talking and poking a little fun at the modern so called art. All along doing flirty sorts of things like playfully nudging, standing very close together and making lots of smiling eye contact. (does that sound silly? that stuff's flirty right?) Oh, and there was an admission for the first museum and Rick paid mine. After a stop at a far less amusing, more traditional art museum we went to dinner. The flirtatious behavior continued all through dinner. It was not the fanciest place but the steaks did get a little pricy, so I contributed to the dinner check. Oh! Oh! I have left out that all afternoon Robert was in a pissy mood. This is not all that unusual for Robert so we all just tried work with it. After dinner we decided on a movie. Rick again paid my way in. We sat next to each other sharing candy and continuing to nudge flirtatiously. After the movie we went back to Traci and Robert's house. There, we decided to meet up again Sunday afternoon before I went home. He gave me his phone number and we said goodnight. A little while later I sent him a text message thanking him for the evening and letting him know I had a good time. He replied with much the same thing. A few more chatty texts were exchanged and then I called it a night.

Sunday, after meeting up with another friend that has moved to Texas, I called Rick and made plans to meet for some bowling and dinner. This time he had his daughter with him so, it was Traci, Rick, the daughter and me. The bowling fell through so we decided to just go eat and chat at a burger place. After some food, chat and video games Rick got a call from his X. She was much earlier then Rick expected. He had to take his daughter back to the X. Traci and I stayed at the restaurant to chat until we had to go to the airport. She and Robert have had some issues lately. She joked that either she and Robert are moving back to San Diego or Rick and I are getting married and I am moving to Texas. We laughed and continued to enjoy our fries and chat. Minutes after Rick was out the door I got a text message saying that he was sorry he had to leave so early and that he'd had a really good time. More texts followed making plans to go out again next time I come out. Traci and I both thought this was good and that maybe something could be starting up. Wouldn't you?

So I am at the airport waiting for my delayed flight when I see something that is sort of an inside joke between Rick and I. So I sent him a text message about it. We laughed and kept chatting. After a few messages I told him Traci's joke about moving or Rick and I marrying. His response, "I don't think my girlfriend would like that". GIRLFRIEND!? What?!

Is this guy kidding?! Of course the girlfriend is the woman that had come over to the house on Saturday to try to stop him from going out. I may have said this already but... GIRLFRIEND?! What!? He'd been telling Traci and Robert that he was not intrested in getting involved with her because of the baggage she comes with. (two kids under two, fathered by the abusive X)

What is with these BOYS?!

This is the second time in two months that this sort of thing has happened. The other guy was someone that I've known for several months now. The flirting had reached the point where when we talked he was asking me why I had to live so far away from him (only 40 miles or so) and he was starting to stand with that try to look cool lean while he hinted around going out sometime. Then while talking about something he had been shopping for someone said "well, he has a girlfriend". What?! *ghaw* Boys!

What Is With These Boys?!

Oh! Oh! Oh! I almost forgot. Rick told Robert on Monday that being out with me that weekend was the most fun he'd ever had with a woman.
*ghaw* Boys!

Look what I made!

I have made my first dog sweater! Isn't it cute?!

It was super easy. I got this book, Stylish Knits for Dogs: 36 Projects to Knit in a Weekend. It has very basic patterns that are so easy to understand. They also leave a lot of room for creativity. Your favorite stitches can easily be worked into them.

This sweater is for a black toy poodle at work. She will look just smashing in it. My next sweater will be for her sister. I'm using the same basic pattern but knitting the body with a seed stitch and making the neck just ribbed, not a turtle neck. I'll post a picture of that one when I'm done.
