Beware! Confessions of dorkiness ahead!

So recently I’ve gotten into “American Idol.” For the first time ever, I think, I made it a point to actually watch the prelim rounds in which people make complete fools of themselves. (I think I may have watched these for a) the laugh and mocking factors and b) that writers strike.) Anyway, last week, AI revealed the top 24, and last night, the top 12 guys performed. My favorite night. 12 guys. Singing. Some of them looking downright HOT! (OK, I think the Australian guy is BEAUTIFUL!) So last night, I’m watching the show, talking out loud to myself (and my dog) about who I thought was good and who wasn’t.  I was listing reasons for my opinions. Then, I crossed a line, I think. I started writing things down. Taking notes! So at the end of the show, for the first time ever in AI history, I voted. Three times. For three different people.

Yeah, I’m cool!

In other news, and I’m perfectly aware I am giving you all ammo to make fun of me and give you all fodder for some pretty funny jokes, but I’ve either pulled a muscle in my butt or done something to cause inflammation which is aggravating my sciatic nerve. And I think it’s the latter because it hurts down my right leg sometimes. Let me just say this: I’m in pain people. Sitting hurts. There’s absolutely no way to lie in bed that doesn’t hurt because I can’t find a position that takes the pressure off my lower back. I used the seat heater in my car this morning as a heating pad! So if you see me hobbling around, that’s the deal. I may take to working standing up, because while that’s not comfortable, it’s a bit better than sitting! I’m taking ibuprofen and at least a day or two off from the gym. It’s great to be me!
