Random thoughts and comments from a snowy day...

Random topic one: American Idol goes to Omaha!

You might be aware that I love American Idol. So, it was a bit disappointing when I learned they would be auditioning in my adopted home city of Omaha shortly after I was moving to Spokane. Tonight is the big Omaha auditions night on TV, so I am thinking about it, and feeling a bit "home" sick for Omaha. Check out these pics from American Idols site...

The Crowd outside the Qwest Center the night before Inside the next day

Emily (from my ward in Omaha) at her audition.
This just made me more homesick as I started to think of my true home state of Utah!!

And crazily enough-just to compact the homesickness, this guy went to high school with me in Utah, and here he is auditioning for Idol in Omaha...small world...
Random topic 2: What the Heath Ledger dead?!
On my honeymoon, while Wes and I watched the movie The Patriot, I made the mistake of mentioning that I thought Heath Ledger was totally hot. Wes was less than happy about that comment and to say the least has not liked Heath Ledger since then. Over the years, he has become a bit less attractive to me as his lifestyle had obviously been catching up with him. Sadly, it seems his lifestyle really caught up with him, whether it was an accidental overdose or a suicide. I am really shocked that he is dead. It happens sometimes that a famous actor at the height of his career will die (John Candy, River Phoenix, just to name a couple I remember in my lifetime). This really struck me as shocking though as he is YOUNGER than me...It is just a crazy sad story, and I really feel bad for Michelle Williams and her daughter that now will be raised without her dad. So sad...
Random Topic 3: What I am craving and missing about Omaha right now...

Kona Grill and their awesome Macadamia chicken! Mmmmmm...That is all on that.


And Lastly, Random Topic #4: What I am most disappointed in!
Yoplait Whips. Bought a bunch as they were on super sale, and found them to be disappointingly gross! Would not suggest them-in any flavor! Ew...

I don't want Idol, but is that Boots??

That is crazy about Heath Ledger, I haven't really watched much of him since Brokeback Mountain, but I liked his earlier movies. He was good looking. ;)

I agree-those whips are nasty!

That's funny, I've tasted the whips a few times and I thought they weren't bad, a little different than expected, but not bad. They're better with a bagel, as is all yogurt.
