A Moment Of Silence

So this year I decided to let the fate of the American Idol rest with the other people of America. That just means I wasn't voting this year (like my handfull of votes really changed an outcome). I also warned myself that I was not allowed to complain if my favorite didn't get through. Man! I sound like Seacrest!!!



Anyway, I'm NOT complaining, but I am a little sad that my favorite, Carly, left at spot #6. Now, she did not seem super shocked or upset that she was leaving. I think that she knew that after Idol she "had it in the bag" as far as her career. Go on Carly!! I'm pretty happy that her last song was a kick-butt version on Jesus Christ Superstar that she completely rocked on!!

On a completely different note......a moment of silence for my sinuses.



Last night I completely HAD IT!! I was tired of my sinuses hurting and my head throbbing. I had to bite the bullet and get the dreaded Netty Pot. I so did not want to do it, but I went over to Target and started looking around. I couldn't find anything for a while.



I started looking for some new reading glasses (mine are a little too strong and my eyes have been bugging me a bit). So as I was looking at the glasses this lady comes up to me and says, "Have you seen the ones for a dollar?" (Was she talking to me? I guess so, since I'm the only one in the aisle and she's looking at me.) "What's for a dollar?" I ask. "The reading glasses!" I couldn't imagine the quality of reading glasses that were in the dollar bins, and I told her so. She told me that they were really cute but that her husband needed glasses that were a little more manly.



Don't fret, I got the glasses from the section that was made for reading glasses. I did check out the dollar glasses, though. Think purple and bedazzled, plastic reading glasses. :)



Back to the Netty Pot. After I got my "real" glasses I went up to the pharmacy and asked about Netty Pots. The girl said, "Yes, we have two different kinds." One was a spray up the nose and the other was your typical Netty Pot. I figured, if anything has to go up my nose I don't want it to be harshly SPRAYED up my nose. I told the girl I'd take the Pot. She said, "A lot of people get that one because it was recommended by Oprah." Ugh!!! I almost put it back. "Well," I said, "that's NOT why I'm getting it, but thanks."

At home I read my instructions, prepared my Netty Pot and myself. It was NOT a pleasant experience and I know that I'll have to do it MANY more times before it makes a difference, but I'm willing to try.

I hope y'all feel privileged that you are now so much closer to me because you know all about my sinuses!!! :)
