On The Road Again...
I'm going to Houston this afternoon. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. Gonna have a diabetes check and talk to my doc about my weight loss efforts.
Then its on to Fort Worth for Husband's retirement party. Then... back home to the lake Sunday night. Late.
In other news... MySpace (Yes... I have a page :P) has a Karaoke Page. It's WAAAAAY cool. You can record yourself singing and then post it on your page... or not. I did! Anyone interested in listening to it can go here:
My MySpace Page
If you listen.. please... give me some feedback either here or there. I'm nervous about having it up there and want to know if I should leave it or take it down.

Calling ALL Lurkers!
Today is The Great MOFO Delurk! The Blogaverse is asking all our lurkers and regular commenters to talk to us! (So we know we're not talking to ourselves... but... ummmmm... I kinda do that ANYWAY... but... *cough* Yeah...)
Please let us know you're out there. ALL of you... talk ... to... ALL... Of.. US! WOOT!
Just so you don't feel like a doof with nothing to say, here's a question for ya.
"What is your dream job and why?"
My dream job is to be a professional singer. When I sing for other people its the ONE TIME I feel like I "belong" ... yanno?

Potts Mania!
There is a simple man named Paul Potts. He's a mobile phone salesman in South Wales. He won Britain's Got Talent. Let me tell you folks... this man... is just... WOW!
I tried to post a YouTube video of him singing on here but yeah... my connection sucks and it won't post more than a few seconds of it for some reason. Go to YouTube and search for Paul Potts Semi Final and get a load of this man's voice... and his heart! I've viewed the video so many times I no longer keep count and it moves me to tears every time.
I know Britain's Got Talent was a few months ago. I mention all this now because Mr. Potts has a CD in the stores now. I bought it yesterday and its been playing on repeat ever since. Yes... he sings Opera. I know a lot of folks are not fans of the genre but if you love a pure voice and listening to someone sing through their heart and their soul you MUST give this CD a listen.
The only REAL criticism I have of the CD is that My Way... in Italian... it just doesn't work for me. I would have loved to have heard him sing it in English as well as Everybody Hurts and You Raise Me Up. (The latter two work better in Italian than My Way did though.)
I'm not being paid for this, BTW. I just want to do whatever I can to help support this man and his fledgling career.

Updates On Old Subjects
What a way to start the week. Husband called at 6:45 AM... as in... this morning. I thought, "Wow. He called to wish Shecky a nice day a school. How sweet and thoughtful of him." Dudes... when I am wrong... MAN am I WRONG. Apparently, sometime in the dead of the night last night, our car, yes... THAT car.. was broken into. They broke out the passenger side window and stole an MP3 player, Husband's work phone and some keys. The police were called, the report was filed, the window is currently being fixed... but... DAMN! The NEW fricking car... the one we've had less than a MONTH. Jebus.
When I first started this blog I wrote about how I used to sing. It is the one thing that I always felt proud of my ability to do and do well. This weekend I went out and bought a 4 disc set of Female Country and Western songs on Karaoke. I spent an hour today singing. I strained the hell out of my throat and my voice but MAN it felt good. I'm currently working on learning "Born To Fly" by Sara Evans. LOVE LOVE LOVE that song.
I'm also a baking fool today. I'm making Chocolate Chip Cookies for Shecky. He'll have them as after school treats this week. Unfortunately those are a huge weakness for me. So, to offset the temptation of them I'm making Weight Watchers Death by Chocolate:
Make one package of NoPudge Fat Free Brownies. Let cool. Cut brownies. While brownies are baking, crush 12 pieces of Whitman's Weight Watchers Candies. (We've tried the Peanut Butter Crunch and the English Toffee. Both are great. Next time I'm going to cut up some of the coconut candies. Those you have to cut up and not crush.) Make a layer of brownies in bowl. Make two packages of Jell-O Sugar Free/Fat Free Chocolate Fudge Pudding. Spread evenly over brownies. Cover pudding with 1 container of Sugar Free Cool Whip. Sprinkle crushed/cut candies on top of cool whip. Store in refrigerator. Its only 2 pts for a cup of this stuff and its VERY good. I'm going to give some to KT this afternoon and see if she likes it. If she does, I'll give the recipe to her mom. :)
