NASCAR drivers from Martinsville

Trace Adkins at the Martinsville race

As promised, here are the pictures that I took of Trace Adkins.

American Idol

I wasn't able to watch Idol this week--rehearsals for 'Beauty and the Beast' come first. But I just watched a recap of last night's show and I was surprised to see Adam in the bottom three. I'm not a huge Adam fan but didn't expect he would be there and really didn't think he'd be in the bottom two. I'm hoping though that the top two come down to Danny and Allison with Danny being the eventual winner.

United Airlines discriminates against people of size

NAAFA and AARP have joined forces to fight this latest attempt at discrimination against people of size. If a person is deemed overweight by an agent at the time of boarding, they will be required to pay for a second seat. Fat is the last legal prejudice--when is it going to stop?

Beauty and the Beast

Learning new songs is always fun and I'm enjoying the music from Beauty and the Beast. It's also a nice distraction from real life *smile*. Performances are in June so there's plenty of time to get prepared. Blocking which is basically the choreography will begin in the next couple weeks.

Life in the Navy

I should be used to this by now; after all, my daughter has been in for several years. But when "the box" arrived on Thursday, I got choked up once again. The military sends all of the recruit's personal belongings back to the parent in a very unassuming box. It's quite obvious though what's in there and I have yet to open it.

American Idol

Lil Rounds and Anoop went home. I thought that Anoop should've been gone a long time ago but then I don't vote so it's partly my fault lol. I'm sure he'll do fine because he was in the top 10 and I wish him luck. Now as for Lil...she is much better than what she has done in the last few weeks. Her trying to copy the singers is what brought her departure -- in my opinion anyway. Down to the last 5 now so it should get interesting.
