NNNNOOOOOOOO! I would have BET money that Chris Daughtry was going to be the next American Idol. I have no money, but dammit, I would have bet it on him. So imagin my complete and udder shock tonight when, not only was Chris on the bottom two, but he was the one voted off.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love Taylor's showmanship and voice, Elliot can belt out a song, and Katharine is beautiful and can sing like an angle, but Chris rocked. I mean he ROCKED. I would text vote for that man so many times and then throw in a few texts votes for one or two of the other contestants. For every 1 vote I threw at someone else, I voted for Chris at least 4 times.

So tonight I'm sad, cause I couldn't wait to see what else he had in store for us. This has been a most difficult, I really enjoyed most of the singers and feel that the last couple of weeks have been the hardest to decide who not to vote for.

I'm going to hide now.

Me blogging, who would have thought it. This’ll be mostly ramblings and nothing important. I have a lot of interests and hobbies, but nothing I’m extremely serious about… except for reading!

I’m 36 (will be 37 this month), married for 13 (going on 14) years, 2 children (Lorraine 6 and Wyatt 4), 1 dog, 1 inherited 20 yr old bird, 1 hamster, 1 Beta fish, and tons of debt! We live in Deltona Florida (home of the mass murder and 3 hurricanes in 2004, and multiple sinkholes in 2005). However, we live 30 minutes from the beach and I hate being cold! Both Erik and I work for the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office in the same building. I work for the Career Criminal Unit. We deal with registering felons and sex offenders. Since the start of the Jessica Lungsford Act, we have been extremely busy at work. We have to re-register sex offenders twice a year now.

I also work for Ocean’s Mist Press and Liquid Silver Books as an editor, proof for Changeling Press, and review for A Romance Review. In my spare time I read, knit, crochet, and cross stitch. However, as you can tell I don’t have much spare time. Since I can’t edit, proof, review, or read a sequel until I read the first book(s), spend a lot of time reading!

Currently I’m working on:

Editing: Immortal Blossom by Taige Crenshaw at OMP and Help I’m Falling for the Vampire Next Door by Celine Chatillon at LSB.

Proofing: Blunder Woman by Dakota Cassidy at CP… Dakota has an awesome blog.

Reviewing: The Mad Knight’s Bride by Kate Hill, Celestial Passions: Sheala by Judy Mays (which means I finally get to read Brianna first-refer to note about sequels), Flame of Shadows by Sahara Kelly, Ice Queen by Joey W. Hill, and Carolina Isle by Jude Deveraux.

Knitting, crocheting, and cross stitch: a blue ducky baby blanket, a synthetic felt square blanket, and a dragon (respectively).

Ok, well it’s nap time and I can’t sleep with out Wyatt… or is that the other way around. Have a nice nap and a great day!
