So here I am in my hotel room in Peabody, Mass. My alarm went off this morning at 3:30 am. I ate a scrambled egg at 4:30 (way too early for breakfast). Then it was off to the airport. But I was there way early. I totally forgot that my original time to leave for the airport included a stop to board my dog. But since Mom came home from rehab and is there with her caregiver, I didn’t need to board Poppet. Oh well.
My flight stopped in SLC, but I didn’t have to change planes. I also didn’t have anything nutritious to eat the rest of the day. Some cheese snacks I brought with me, a teeny-tiny packet of peanuts, and those cookies the airlines hand out. So I was pretty hungry when I got to my room right around 6:00 pm. So I indulged in a rather large meal. Now I feel stuffed and bloated. You overindulge, you pay for it, eh?
American Idol comes on an hour later on the east coast, and for a change I saw it live instead of taped. Almost right off the bat they named the first two in the bottom three: Matt and Michael. I was surprised about Matt (he was great and got some of my votes last night). I wasn’t surprised at Michael being there. I knew I would be knock-me-down-stunned if Megan wasn’t the singer to join them.
Well, they knocked me down. It was Scott who joined the other guys. They immediately sent him back as safe. I was pretty sure that sealed the fate of Michael. I couldn’t believe Matt would go home. This time, no surprise.
Michael, wishing you great success.
I was really expecting Megan to go home tonight. A little shocked Matt was in the bottom three. I still believe the top three will be Danny, Adam and Lil. But not sure who the winner will be. Hubby says Adam…Hmm, will the hubby be right?
Oops wanted to say best of luck to Michael as well. I think he has a career out there more than the oil riggin he was doing. Best to him and his famuly.
Robin, I’m right there with you. I was initially shocked to see Matt go in the bottom three, then was shocked again when it was Scott and not Megan that finished it out. However, I can’t disagree that Michael needed to go home. He should have gone last week. And they really couldn’t sent a girl home last night, could they? I mean, they only have three left! My wife believes Adam will win, and if it weren’t for the fact that a white male won last year, I would be in total agreement. He has everything it takes to be an American Idol. However, it is my opinion that Allison will win. It will be a girl this year, and they’ve never had a hispanic winner. So there you go. God bless you, Robin!!–Jeff
