On the Road

I went to Houston today for a deposition. It was supposed to be 4+ hours. I drove down there. 1:00 p.m. start time. Well, it lasted 1-1/2 hours. Bummer! Glad I didn't fly now, because then I would have been in the hole money-wise.

Got home and watched Dancing with the Stars. I hope Kristi wins. I'll be voting for her! I liked how they have the long, extended song and had all the remaining 3 do the same dance to the same song. That should be a required element to the show from now on. It was easier to see who was a better dancer, etc. While some think Kristi has/had an unfair advantage because of her skating experience, she still gave it her all week in and week out. That girl worked her butt off to get to the finals. Let's hope a woman finally wins! (Can you tell I have a girl crush on Kristi?)

Tomorrow night we have the finale of American Idol. I saw online where Vegas has Cook being the winner, like 72% chance or something. It's kind of a double-edge sword if Cook wins, because he's then required to make some album real quick that may or may not suck. Oh, well, at least he'll have kept Archie from winning!

Also, I tried to get a hair appointment before ZoneFest. Not sure it's going to happen. When I originally scheduled it, my week was busy, busy with depos. But now most of my week has fizzled because of a death in some atty's family. I wanted to have nice brown hair for ZoneFest. My mom was aghast at how much gray I had in my hair when she was up here a couple of weeks ago. I reminded her I'm about to be 39, which makes her that much closer to 60! LOL I will admit I've got a skunk stripe working, and it' ain't attractive. I'm going to see if Natasha can't get me in now that my week is more clear. I'd color it myself, but I can't seem to pick the right color. Everyone I've picked end up looking jet black, or give me a reddish tint that I don't care for.

Oh, and I'm finally getting my car fixed from the wreck. I'm now driving a Mazda 6. Fun little car, but very low to the ground. Got much better gas mileage to Houston than my TrailBlazer would have gotten though. And at $3.70 a gallon, every little bit helps!

Everyone have a great night. And if you haven't yet, you have until 11:00 a.m. cst tomorrow (Tuesday) to vote online for Kristi at http://www.abc.com/ Go Vote!!
