Pray tell, darling readers, does there exist a site where I can go and download video or mp3s of the American Idols singing their songs? I know there was last year, because I downloaded (you just shut up) Joshua Gracin singing… something. Something country, I’m sure. I don’t care, bite me, I liked the kid.
Aaaaaaaaanyway, surely these sorts of sites must exist. But where? Won’t you help a bitchypoo?
Also, speaking of TV, if you are a viewer of The Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, go over to the Tater, read this post and help me out, because I MUST know who that adorable curly-haired girl is.

1. Where are you right now? In front of the computer, in the computer room, in the downstairs of our house, in Madison, in Alabama, in the US.
2. What time is it? 9:45 am. The spud’s already up and about. Eeek!
3. What are you wearing? A purple pullover shirt, an off-white bra from Lane Bryant, gray cotton pants and my favorite blue pan-tays. Oh, and my green Land’s End slippers.
4. Any people or animals around you? Describe them. Not a one. All the cats are hanging out upstairs with the spud, who’s either watching TV or sitting in front of HER computer.
5. What are your plans for the weekend? I have none, aside from vacuuming the upstairs and downstairs, and maybe dusting the upstairs. Other than that, nothin’.

Fred had to go to the Doc in a Box (walk-in clinic) this morning because he pulled his back when he was lifting weights. He tried to get an appointment with his usual doctor, but they were booked, and there’s a Doc in a Box near his office, so he just went there.
After he got back to his office, I called to make sure he was going to live (he is), and asked which doctor he’d seen.
“I think she might be from South Africa,” he said. “She had the cool accent, but I had a hard time understanding her a couple of times. She was really nice, we talked for ten or fifteen minutes.”
“Last time I went to that clinic, I got a doctor who looked at my eye from across the room and diagnosed me with pinkeye,” I said. “In and out in 30 seconds.”
(Requisite sex joke here)
“She was pretty,” Fred said. “Her skin was the color of Cafe Au Latte.”
I groaned. “Har har.”
“What?” Fred said, completely serious. “Is that not how you pronounce it?”
“Cafe au LAIT!” I said, and then laughed at him.
Another reason I love the man: he makes me laugh every day. And sometimes it’s not even AT him.

Pretty Bean.
Stretchy Bean.
“Whatcha doin’, Dad? Whatcha doin’? Huh? Whatcha doin’?”

LOVE the Bean! My husband makes pronounciation mistakes that make me laugh too! Of course, I can’t think of any off the top of my head right now, but I will…probably when I’m drifting off to sleep tonight and it will make me chuckle. Hee.
I wanna know where to d/l the Idols, too. Can’t get enough of John Stevens. *sigh* But you know that, didn’t you?
Huh. I clicked over to your four years ago link, thinking “Hey, sex!” and what do I get? One paltry sentence. Sigh.
Love the Bean pictures. He does remind me of my first cat, Mittens.
Well, I sure am glad that vacuum is holding up because (and I’m not kidding on this one) *MY* beautiful Dyson is being delivered today. I started drooling about it when you originally talked about yours….started working on the hubby…convincing him we NEEDED it….and VOILA! I plan on spending the whole weekend looking for things to clean. Heh.
I have had my Dyson for a couple weeks now and I love it! Have you vacuumed your mattress yet???? It was scary…..
fyi….Josh Gracin has a country CD comming out pretty soon. He’s been getting some airplay on the radio in D.C.
I too was wondering about the Dyson, Target sells the yellow one, thinking about getting it. Glad to hear you’re still loving it, along with everyone else who has one.
Also, thought I’d give you a heads up in case you haven’t been watching Ellen. Next week your Shield guy will be on, can’t remember his name now, Michael something right?
Isn’t it just the best when you’ve been with someone for a long time and you still make eachother laugh. I’ve been with my man for 8 1/2 years and we still laugh just about every day. My ex and I were together for 6 years and there wasn’t much laughter after the 4th year. It’s a terrific thing when you’re with your best friend.
Aw Michael,please elaborate!Is it bad enough that I should use my trusty Oreck vac on our mattresses too ?
Heh,Robyn when you told us the color of your undies,I asked myself,”Self,what color ARE YOUR undies today??” Since mornings(being honest-the WHOLE day)are pretty much a blur for me,I HAD to LOOK to answer that question.
I have been known to put my shirts on inside out or backwards. Sad isn’t it? 😉
Maybe Martha Stewart can be held on house arrest at MY house and help me to run my life better.(We’d stay away from the stock market.)
I too was wondering about how the Dyson was coming along. Glad to hear you and everyone else who has one still loves it, thinking about getting one. Target is selling the yellow one, just might have to pick it up.
Isn’t it just the best when you’re with someone for a long time and you still crack each other up? I’ve been with my boyfriend for 8 1/2 years and we still laugh like in the beginning. My ex and I were together for 6 years and there wasn’t much laughing after the 4th. But then it does help when your significant other is your best friend.
Also, wanted to give you a heads up in case you haven’t been watching Ellen. Your Shield guy is gonna be on next week. Can’t remember his name now, Michael something right? I didn’t see which day but it’s definitely next week.
sorry about the second post, I didn’t think it took the 1st one.
That last picture on today’s post is truly one of a “Bitchy” Poo!
I think Dyson is going to be my next vacuum. The one I have now is still great but I learned the hard way before that it is always better to study up and pay that extra money for a good brand.
My grandmother was thoughtful of the future generation. Her KitchenAid I inherited is just white and black!
She did have a Pyrex bowl that is nearly the same color as your KitchenAid though. I love the ugly thing. HEH.
I would love to have a Dyson vacuum cleaner, but they’re so expensive and I want to be damn sure that I’m not going to have to replace it in a year or two. As for the KitchenAid mixers, I love mine! It’s well worth the price and I’d recommend the KitchenAid stand mixer to anyone. Their hand mixer isn’t bad, either.
rugbypet – I have the purple Dyson (for people with pets) and read someplace that if you have allergies (as my boyfriend does) that the Dyson does wonders for pet (and people) dander. So, I thought that maybe if I vacuumed the matress it would get rid of any dander from where the cats sleep in the bed. Boy, was I shocked! The vacuum was empty when I started and by the time I was finished I had about 1/2 inch of fine powdery grossness in the canister!!! The mattress is fairly new (1997) and I consider myself to be a clean person (almost anal, in fact) so I was HORRIFIED! Needless to say, I will be doing this monthly.
I had my local Bed, Bath, and Beyond order the purple Dyson for me. I then used an expired Linens n Things 25% off coupon (they take them!), so ended up getting the purple one for the regular price of the yellow one. It was delivered free right to my door. I love it.
Last week I downloaded all the clips I could from http://www.idolfan.org, but it seems to be down a lot now 🙁
Thanks Michael for the info ! I’m heading for the Dyson website now ! :o)
OMG – I had a dream about Ms. Poo last night. Nothing bad, but she was here, giving the big ol’ smack down to my cat. Strange how the brain works eh? I love Ms. Poo!
