My favorite time of year.


I love American Idol. I love the music, the celebrations, the small people making it big, the train wrecks, the judges (I heart Simon.), Ryan Seacrest, the new judge Kara, the stories, everything...I LOVE IT!!! It is finally back and for the next 5 and a half months I will be busy on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. I can't wait to make the elimination board, a poster with the names and pictures of the top 12 finalists. Each week I get to cross off the finalist who is voted off the show.

This year, my American Idol experience is heightened as I am one of the judges at "Southridge Idol," the school-sponsored version of the former. Students compete to be the Southridge Idol; the winner gets an iPod. Tomorrow is the beginning of auditions. We are auditioning for three days and then there will be a final show. It should be a good time.

Must go, have to wipe tears from touching back story and loverly singing.

Also, if you call on Tuesday or Wednesday evening I may not answer the phone...I still love you.
