just jill...

oh and by the way...

I failed big time on the whole American Idol updates... but you already knew that. As far as I'm concerned, the top 4 have been selected for weeks now and I'll be shocked if the following won't be battling it out in the end...

Jessica (so so good for that tiny tiny little body),
Phillip (so so adorable and a true artist),
Joshua (hands down, my fav...)
Colton (who can sing, but is not even on my radar this year)


I was rooting for Deandre big time, I just think he was just too unique with that falsetto, that most people just "didn't get him." But, if you're a fan of Prince then you should have.
His voice IS AMAZE. Especially for being only 17 years old! But, he's already gone and I didn't really have high hopes for him, so I guess I'm not all that disappointed.

I'd also like to go on record to say that this year has been one of the best years in a very long time. My opinion of course.

My finger is tired from all the voting for this guy... Love!!



Joshua isn't quite MY Elliott, but he's very very close...
"I love you Joshua... call me!"

11 days and counting..!

I've been MIA (again)... But, trust me it's all been for a good reason. I've been running and running and running some more. Then I've been napping and napping and crying and crying and then napping even more.

You guys... Running is hard. But in 11 days (and counting) I'll be smack dab in the middle of it all and there won't be any turning back..!!



RAGNAR..!!!

"ohhh, kids these days..."

Well, they're back. What season is this anyway? 11, 12, 29? I'm confused. I'm also old. When you hear one of the 16 year old contestents say that she's been dreaming of being on this show since she was 6 years old, and that it's all she's ever wanted to do, her whole life... that, my friend is reality check time. She has no concept of a world withOUT American Idol...
oi. and vey.

So let's jump right in. Here are your Top 24






Top 12 Boys... Oh, did I skip 1, is there really a Top 13? Oh well, the Gentle Giant is a VERY sweet boy, but a non player in my opinion. (sorry Gentle Giant)








Aaand your Top 24 Girls... (and by the way, it's a good thing American Idol has a lot of money. They're going to need it to keep these girls in the blonde hair dye.)
bah-duh-bum-bum, I'll be here all week...

I won't really go into much detail here, as we won't know until later tonight who's staying and who's going, but let's just say after 8 years of recapping this show, I do not usually agree with America, and only 1 time has the person I actually predicted was going to win, actually win. (and that would be Carrie Underwood and now looking back, I don't think that was too difficult and worse that now I don't even like her.)

I will wait until next week to critique and praise the Top 13, but I will tell you, I have my top 10 already and if I had my way, they would be the following...

.......... Chelsea
.......... Elise
.......... Erika
.......... Jen
.......... Jessica

.......... Chase
.......... Deandre
.......... Heejun
.......... Joshua
.......... Reed

That's it people, I'll see you on the other side of America's ideas of who deserves to stay and who deserves to go.

"Livingston Out..."

and PS... TL's had 1 and only 1 comment since the whole thing started, "Where's Pia..?"

it's what's for breakfast...

Oatmeal. I've become an expert. Read and learn.

1 Star ~ Homemade Oatmeal: I use Original Quaker oats, water, honey and slivered almonds...

3 Stars ~ Starbucks Oatmeal: Oats, bag of nuts, (well, that is what it is) pack of brown sugar...

5 Stars ~ McDonalds Oatmeal: Oatmeal, with dried fruit along with fresh apples, and brown sugar (not sure why they call it Maple)...

That is it for now. If you want Oatmeal for breakfast, I suggest you go to McDonalds. The only downside I see is that they don't serve Bloody Mary's also.

Oh and I #ranwalkedcried 6.63 miles on Sunday. I guess I can do this afterall. Too bad it took me most of Sunday and a little of Monday to finish.

guess...

which one I am...

Let me give you a hint just in case you're confused in any way...

I'm the one bringing up the rear...!




Thank you Cheryl for sharing...!!

up a hill, up a hill...

This song is what "pumps up my kicks..!" (on perma rotates)



I cant' remember what day of training this is, but I do know that I went 3.6 miles... #runningwalkingcrying

daily panic attacks...

I am having daily panic attacks over.... SoCalRAGNAR

I'm on Team: The Hot Mess's, and I'm runner #6. If you're interested, check it out, see why I am sleeping, eating and dreaming nightmaring over it all.

Runner #6:
Leg 1 = 2.7 miles,
Leg 2 = 7.4 miles,
Leg 3 = 3.9 miles.

That's a total of 14 miles people. That I will be #runningwalkingcrying. Oh and that Leg #2 up there... just know that it's on a trail, going uphill some of the way and will be AT NIGHT. In the dark. Just me and the coyotes. And the snakes and bears. And probably the boogy man too.

I swear if I make it out of this thing alive, I'll consider giving up vodka.
(I didn't say I would give up Vodka, only that I'd consider it).

PS... Please pray for me.
PSS.. That is NOT me in photo above. But, you already knew that.

sweat'n to the oldies...

I'll be back soon... Currently get"n my ass mov"n. Just know that my body is not happy with this decision and is currently calling me a bitch...! But I'm a fighter, so it can suck it and eventually will get in line. Because I'm the boss around here and it's 2912 and the year of being awesome...!!

day 18 ~ glory be to the highest...!!

A beautiful sight to see on my morning walk...
If this doesn't make you believe in Santa I don't what would!!

day 17 ~ don't look, but i think i got my xmas wish...

TL and I are on a little get'away weekend down in San Diego. You know, where the sun shines about 360 days a year. AND LOOK what happened right outside of our hotel window before my very eyes...!!

okay, just kidding it's actually just the miracle of photoshop. I like to be tricky during the holidays.
