Time has once again been hard to find when it comes to Blogging. This time of year becomes busier, and as Spring turns into Summer thoughts of Blogging become a distant memory… :(

This morning I had some time, so what better to talk about than……

IDOL!

But before I get to Idol I would like to take a moment and talk a little about a show that is not often talked about here.

Just this season I started watching a show called “The Biggest Loser.”



In the first few weeks I found the show interesting, but I really couldn’t say if it held my attention… It seemed to me there were so many twists and turns and that really turned me off to the show. However… Sticking with it the contestants became more “real” to me and their transformations during the course of the show were nothing less than inspiring!

Now while I don’t have a large amount of weight to lose as many of them do, I am very health conscious and would love to see some of these hips disappear. **sigh** (After 4 kids, I still wonder if it’s possible?) LOL

Anyhoo – During the last 5 weeks or so I found myself crying each episode and rooting with all my heart and soul for these wonderful people to succeed.

I was delighted to see my favorite Ali win the show this week and make history as the first Female Biggest Loser! Way to go Ali!!





Any show that can help inspire people to not only lose weight but also lead a healthier lifestyle.. wins my vote!!

Looking forward to the next season!

Now – On to IDOL



First let me say –

Goodbye Kristy Lee Cook – You hung on way longer than anyone thought you would – But it was definitely time to see you go




Secondly –
Many of you will remember Elliott Yamin from 2 seasons ago.



As the world fell in love with this gentle singer, we also fell in love with his mom Claudette. I simply can’t remember a single time she was not in the audience rooting her son on.
Sadly Claudette died 2 weeks ago. The cause is still unknown.



As Elliott finished singing last night he held out his hand – It read simply –
“We miss you mom”



My favorites are still Carly Smithson – (Although she totally bombed when singing my favorite Queen song EVER) LOL
Followed by David Cook – (His Billie Jean was AMAZING!!)

Well it’s time to see what’s new in your worlds –

Gem~
