American Idol Season 9 Picks

I started watching American Idol during Season 7, so this year I decided that since I have a little experience under my belt, I would choose potential winners (read: who should get recording contracts and we’ll hear from in the future, IMO).

After last night’s show, I chose my top 3 females. Drum roll, please …

Furry Feline Friends

Can you guess what today’s ABC Wednesday letter is? I promised a few weeks ago to introduce you to my Furry Feline Friends that I cat-sit while their human works out of town. So, without further ado, meet Sammy and Scrubs …

Sammy is a stray that someone dumped off back in October. She’s a fun kitty with a very distinct personality. If it’s possible for a cat to give a human a dirty look, she does it with perfection. I laugh constantly at her different facial expressions.

Since she was a drop off, it was impossible to know if she was spayed or not. Turns out she wasn’t because she’s going to be a mommy kitty very, very soon. (I’m guessing this weekend since it’s a full moon.)

This little darling is Scrubs. She was a rescue kitty. A couple of months ago, she showed up at a local auto mechanic’s garage. She had some physical problems,

Review: Double Trouble by Susan May Warren

ABOUT THE BOOK

With one solved case under her belt, PJ Sugar is ready to dive into her career as a private investigator. Or at least a PI’s assistant until she can prove herself to Jeremy Kane, her new boss. Suddenly PJ’s seeing crime everywhere. But is it just in her head, or can she trust her instincts? When she takes on her first official case-house-sitting for a witness in protective custody-Jeremy assures her there’s no danger involved. But it soon becomes clear that there is someone after the witness . . . and now they’re after PJ, too.

MY THOUGHTS

Double Trouble is a great continuation of the PJ Sugar series. The first book, Nothing But Trouble, introduced us to PJ and her eccentricities and insecurities. She encountered her high school sweetheart, managed Russian house guests, and took care of her 4-year-old nephew. In the end, her super sleuthing skills earned her a position as a private

Return to The McCord Sisters

ABOUT THE BOOK

Elyse McCord always plays it safe─a fact she blames on being the biological daughter of a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde. Even in the security of her adoptive family, the McCords, the timid dog whisperer keeps her guard up with strangers. But when she discovers a dog being horribly mistreated, shy Elyse transforms into a mighty warrior and charges into a perilous situation, not only risking her life but also her heart

Reporter Andrew Stone has been fearless since the day his wife was shot and killed three years ago. He has one mission─use his Texas Ranger upbringing to find her murderer and clear his own name of any involvement. When he sees a beautiful brunette in the hands of a pistol-wielding maniac, he’s forced to abandon his covert surveillance and go to the rescue. The danger surrounding Andrew doesn’t scare him at all, but the awakening of his dormant heart terrifies him.

When painful pasts

Where Did The Plow Go?

I’ve lamented about our roads in the past, so I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been very impressed with the Calhoun County DOH this winter. Our roads have been well cared for – treated and plowed – during a winter when we’ve had more than enough snow.

But then this week, the snow plows vanished. It’s almost like “where’s Waldo” except it’s where’s the snow plow?

This is an paved road that hasn’t seen a snow plow since sometime Sunday night I believe. It’s slightly wider than a single lane and if anyone comes the other way, you have to scoot over into 6-8 inches of snow and pray you don’t get stuck.

This is the gravel road that I live on. Doesn’t look much different than that paved road, huh? Funny thing is, this is a single lane by design yet the road conditions are identical to that two lane paved road.

I understand not plowing
