I'll admit it. I watch America's Got Talent and American Idol mostly to watch the losers not-so-great performers. My husband and I often try to guess if someone is horrible or awesome before they start performing. Tonight was no different. When we saw Kevin Skinner, we thought he would be horrible. Every syllable out of his mouthy confirmed our opinion. Boy, were we wrong. From the first note … [Read more...]

Should I bother blogging if I don't even know what my blog is about. Yeah, boo-hoo. I just need to get over it. So, my … [Read more...]
