I'm so late to the party, the party went to bed. Goodnight everyone. Sweet dreams. Maybe the sandman will send you an idea for the next great american novel.

Hi Paperback, good for you on the chapter. You go girl! Laughs.

As for American Idol I have not watched since 2008. It was the year my Gramma died, she actually died right before it started and TV wasn't important after that. Stopped watching LOST too. Not that I missed much, from the sounds of angry fans at the finale. Lol.

Besides, it is not the dame with Simon Cowel and Paula Abdul. Their love/hate relationship made the show. Chuckle.

Drive-by Hello!

My DH and I love AI, but I just haven't gotten into it this season. We are just so backed up on shows we watch these days, it's hard to choose. We DVR'd The Office and watched that. Steve Carrel's last episode .

Never watched it. Lol.

Started watching The Voice, and then NCIS of course, House (reruns), Food channel cake challenges and all their shows on places and foods to eat. Lol.

I heard The Voice was awesome, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm sure we will at some point. We're kind of singing/music nerds in our family (my MIL is a retired choir teacher and hubs has been in one choir or another his whole life).

I'm taking the kiddies to the zoo today, so I'll be scarce until later. Just wanted to say good morning.

I love zoos pezie!

I don't really care for American Idol. I used to, but I think that I'm more into talent competitions like So You Think You Can Dance, but we don't have cable right now, just Netflix.

Morning all.

My Hubs likes The Voice...says he thinks Christina Aguilara is hot. LOL American Idol has lost me too. Ever since they kicked off Pia, I've been rather 'meh' about it. And I think I do miss Simon.

I watched some clips on Yahoo this AM. At first I didn't like her dress, then I realized it looked a lot like Grace Kelley's. I like it now.

Showing my age here because many of you may not even have been born yet but...I remember when William was born. I was there in London waiting for word of his birth to come when we knew Diana was in labor. I lived near Kensington Palace and saw the limo returning with Diana, Charles and Baby William after his christening, even have a photo in which you can make out the royal couple. I'll never forget it. So yeah, I'm an Anglophilic (sp?) sap...though I draw the line at getting up in the wee hours to watch the ceremony, what with the internet these days.

I did. Watched it live on the TV too. (Of course, it was on at a decent hour over here, heh heh!)

I much preferred Kate's sister's dress to Kate's.

I either didn't see it or didn't like it. Somebody on my facebook just posted that Kate's dress lace detailed the national flowers. Which is super awesome.

Hi, parumpdragon.

I've finally started making progress with my revisions (although I'm only up to pg 52 out of 396, so I've a bit of a way to go yet, lol!). Been off work for the past week, which has been great!

How are you?

Yeah, I have been working on my WIP, got 1450 words yesterday, but I think a couple hundred need to be cut from that. Culled - rather, lol

We have national flowers? Lol!

Glad the weather was good for them (and the crowds - wouldn't have been much fun for them lining the streets if it was pouring with rain!).

Here in the USA we have state flowers too, and a state bird - even a state song (though no one knows it or sings it that I know of). Laughs.

Yeah I think we just chose a state firearm too - go figure, but it is the west. They were trying to pass a law here where it was legal to carry guns and weapons on college campuses. Yeah- that would go over well. Not. (They already passed one for public parks.)
