And the Winner is.....

David Cook beat David Archuletta in the finals last night....







He is now the "Next American Idol"....


The 25-year-old rocker beat the smiley 17-year-old crooner with 12 million more votes.

It was a great show, and I enjoyed watching the finale more than any other this season. There were a lot of great performances but I think my most favorite was when David Cook rocked out with ZZ Top....that was way cool.

He is on his way to great success and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us.

Until Next Janaury...Dixiechick..blogging American Idol...is out!

Maybe I Should Have Approached It This Way.....

Update....Hubby was just messing with me....he likes to see exactly how gullible I am...once I got home...everything was fine...and yes, he did know what freaky meant and we had a very nice evening together.





I am ticked off at the hubster at the moment....I was feeling a little amorous..thought I would send him some fun, suggestive emails...you know, kind of keep the "fire" burning....I emailed him and asked if he wanted to "get freaky" with me tonight....let's just say his reply was not what I wanted or expected. He said what is freaky? that he doesn't speak "hip hop", but it wasn't hip hop he said....it wasn't very nice....said he was tired of referreing the two youngest spawn with their fighting, he wasn't in the mood this evening.

Max is going to Grandma's...Aaron will be in bed by eight thirty/nine pm...I figured we could have some time together...why is it only ok when he is in the mood? I can't tell you how often I am not in the mood, but never do I say no...I forgo any time to myself on a frequent basis, to make sure he is "taken care of"....maybe this is a little TMI...I don't know.... I just know, when I sent those emails to him, I didn't expect to get "slapped in the face" so to speak.

What the hell????? Most often, he can't keep his hands off of me.....I was looking forward to going home...now? Not so much....if this indicative of what his mood is going to be. I have worked very hard to slim down..I am now down to 124 lbs. I am always dressed up, made up, ready to go....I feel like I am very sexy......Hell, the principal at my son's school the other day, told me I was hot....I get "looks" all the time...I have often been referred to as a MILF....I take that as a compliment, because I work hard to look good and I feel the best I have about myself in a long time....damn it, he should be interested.....so, my question is, what the hell did I say wrong? Guys, if your woman emailed or texted you, said "Do you want to get freaky with me tonight?" would have said, "I'm not in the mood"? Would you have known what freaky meant?

Happy freaking hump day! At least for everyone but me...now there definitely won't be any humping going on!

Thanks...I needed to vent! Vent over.

Is it just me.....

Or are these two starting to morph into one another?

Mmmmmm.......

Dancing With The Stars.....The Winner is......

Kristi Yamaguchi came into the "Dancing With the Stars" finale with a perfect score and left with the mirrorball trophy. The first woman in four years to win the coveted trophy.

"This is just the icing on the cake," Kristi said after her victory Tuesday night. "I honestly thank all the fans out there ... everyone who's made this a dream experience."

"Obviously the fans are the deciding factor here," Yamaguchi said, "and I can't say enough to thank them."

She also had plenty of fans among her fellow competitors, who said she deserved the title.

Taylor, the massive but graceful pro football star, called Yamaguchi "just perfect," adding that he "grew up watching her compete for our country." De la Fuente, who was eliminated early in the two-hour season finale, said "it was impossible to beat her."

No truer words could have been spoken. I knew from the very first dance, Kristi was going to be tough to be beat. I predicted from the beginning she was going to be the winner.

The new cast of the next season will be revealed this September.

Julianne has her album out!!!!

Well, she did it...our little Dancing Queen has went to Nashville, and put out her very first CD....its a little pop/country..kind of along the Shania and Faith genre...I like it.

Go to her website Juliannehough.com and check it out.

Good luck to you Julianne!

DANCING WITH THE STARS....WHO IS TAKING HOME THE TROPHY?

I can admit, Dancing With the Stars has not been on my priority list this season..especially the last month or so. I don't think I have sat down and actually watched a full episode in the past four or five weeks. The demands on my time are too consuming for me to allow myself that little luxury of actually being "allowed" time for myself to enjoy that square little box, that sits in several rooms of my house, that which is called "t.v."...

I didn't get to catch hardly any of Dancing last night. Hubby and I are anticipating a 4 day child free weekend coming up this Memorial Day weekend, after dinner/bath duty last night, right when Dancing came on tv, hubby wanted me to spend time with him on the computer, to "explore" our options for weekend entertainment. That took quite some time, in between also trying to referee the constant fighting between my two youngest spawns....Then after kids were tucked into bed, hubby has this unexplainable need for "time with me"....so, it wouldn't be fair for me to post a Dancing Post, when I actually didn't get to watch very much of it at all.

My sources tell me Kristi had two perfect scores from her dances last night. Why doesn't that surprise me?


I really wanted Jason to win...but, I think this season, it's going to be a woman. My prediction for tonights winner is Kristi Yamuguchi will be carrying the mirror ball trophy home.

If you want to see a complete recap of last nights show, head over to buddytv for their take on last nights final performance.

I must say, compared to last season, with Helio...this season was a disappointment to me. I just wasn't feeling it.

Also tonight, American Idol will be down to the last performance, between both Davids....I think I will watch that, if given the oppurtunity...then catch the last hour of Dancing...if the T.V. gods smile down on me and allow me time to actually sit down and watch....

For now...Dixiechick....out.

Friday Funny!

A woman was helping her husband set up his computer,
and at the appropriate point in the process, the computer
advised him that he would now need to enter a password. Something he will use
to log on.


The husband was in a rather amorous mood and figured he would try for the shock effect to bring this to his wife's attention.

So, when the computer asked him to enter his
password, he made it plainly obvious what he was entering by stating each letter out loud as he typed......



P....



E....



N....



I....



S....


His wife fell off her chair laughing when the computer replied:



*** PASSWORD REJECTED.

NOT LONG ENOUGH ***
