What I'm thinking about tonight...

1. I'm actually watching Idol tonight. I don't get the wonder that is Jason Castro. He basically did a karaoke version of Iz's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" but the kid who did basically the same thing with Aerosmith's "Dream On" got hammered by the sane judges (aka not Paula.) And Jason just freaks me out, I'm sorry. Brooke is just too cute but she's not long for this competition, unfortunately.

2. I love love LOVE the Bachelor this season and nobody I know even watches it (or else they are all closet watchers like me and don't talk about it.) The drunk girl last night totally cracked me up. She was exactly like the drunk girl on SNL! And for whatever reason, I love that this quite handsome and dashing bachelor has gotten rid of girls who can't hold their liquor, flash their underwear, stuff their underwear into his pocket, cannot answer a question deeper than "what CD are you listening to now?" or a combination of all of those things. If you aren't watching, you should be. My current favorite is the nervous hiccup-er. (I cannot keep any of them straight and seriously, why bother? They're just going to break up after the finale anyway.)

3. Look at what's available on DVD! I seriously watched this on PBS every stinkin' time it was on. I had a roommate then and she'd come home and there I'd be - watching it. I loved it so much and of course, own the CDs but I'm so excited to put this on my wish list. In case you were wondering, Les Miz is my most favorite musical with Wicked close 2nd.

4. My BFF/sister Jen and I made a deal to exercise three times this week. We're both at one so far and I'm totally getting up tomorrow for #2. I tried out some of the comcast on demand exercise things -- kind of fun! Jen tried to excuse herself from exercising by saying she got up and read her scriptures instead. Like she's better than me or something. Whatever. But I felt so good all day today and I know it's because I started out with exercise.

5. My eyelashes are coming back!! I still have a little bare spot on my left eye but it's not too bad. The right eye which was the worst now has visible lashes! Woo hoo! I changed my eye makeup remover but that's it. Still don't know what caused it.

6. Loved Conference -- especially Sunday. I cannot wait to get Elder Oaks' talk in print, especially and I hope each bishopric throughout the church reads the first few paragraphs verbatim the next fast and testimony meeting. I'm grateful my ward is usually good about testimony meetings. My mom's ward? Not so much. The same three people get up each month and take all of the time. Very sad.

7. I had a disturbing dream last night that then ran through my mind all day (why is it easier to remember the yuck dreams instead of the nice ones?) The guy holding my hand was someone more than a little younger than me (but old enough.) Someone I know. And I'll stop there. Ick. Where do these things come from?

8. Taxes? Done. All by self, as my niece would say. I did them for free on this website. Very simple, very easy.

9. Way, way too many job options are popping up this week. I want to change jobs because it's time and I need to but I'm not quite there yet. More on this at a later dat.e

Stay tuned -- I think we're going to venture out to Trophy Cupcakes this week and I'm thinking chances are excellent the trip will be blog fodder. Woo hoo!
