A week behind but, hey, it's on!

So, I was looking for something to watch, and guess what was on? American Idol! So, I sat and watched it. It seems we're a week behind America and Canada but hey, at least I get to see it. LOL! We have the week's worth of episodes on a Tuesday night by the look of it. Wonder how I missed it before? Dunno! Anyway, I watched it. Got to see the top 12 being picked. I tell you what, there really are some awesome singers among them. And until tonight I had no idea that Carrie Underwood got famous through Idol. Good thing I agreed with ChicagoLady about Idol turning out some good singers, isn't it? LOL!

Anyway, out of the top 12 I have to say that Melinda Doolittle gets my vote for the girls. Stephanie Edwards is pretty damn good too! And Gina Glocksen... well, she's pretty good too. I like Melinda and Stephanie better though. Especially Melinda! Man she was totally awesome!!! Lakisha Jones and Haley Scarnato they're 'OK'. I guess it wouldn't be too bad if one of them won, but Jordin Spraks... I'm sorry, but she totally sucks! And for the guys? Chris Sligh... WOW! He is AWESOME! Blake Lewis and Brandon Rogers are pretty good too! Sanjaya Malakar was pretty damn good too, but I don't think the song he sung really did him justice. He needs to find a song that shows us what he can really do. I don't really think much of Chris Richardson or Phil Stacey though. I don't know how those two made the top 12! Personally, I think that the next Idol should be Melinda Doolittle or Chris Sligh! Although, if Sanjaya finds a song that brings out his talent better then he may make it. And Stephanie stands a pretty good chance too, I think. But, where as everyone else gets to see the next stage in the show this week, I have a whole week to wait before I can see it. OK! I admit it! I enjoyed watching it! You happy now? LOL!

OK, moving on...

The results for the first test "should be" back by the start of next week. And, as I said on Sunday, I do the other test in the morning and that one takes 10 to 14 days to come back. If these tests come back with nothing to show what the hell's going on, I shall be calling the doctor again and telling him that I want to actually see him and not have him send me to someone for tests without even seeing me. I think it's stupid how they've started doing things over the phone as much as possible now.

Bella got a new coat today. We had it made for her (by the same people who made Scotty's coat, Kerry) and she seems very proud of her new coat. She has a matching bandanna and scarf too. The scarf was what was offered with it, and the bandanna was because the fabric I originally asked for (the same fabric Scotty's coat was done in) wasn't available and so she offered me a different one and made a bandanna for Bella to match her coat and scarf. I do have photos of her in her bandanna and scarf but I'll post them another time (if you are in a hurry to see them, look in her photo album). Going to be getting a new coat for Kero soon too, because he's had his for a while now and with all his rolling about outside and all that it's starting to show signs of wear and I suck at sewing so I'd rather just get him a new one. Yeah, I know, lazy, aren't I?

Bella's come into heat so I should be getting her spayed at the end of May. We thought on Saturday that she might be coming into heat but weren't 100% certain until Monday when we noticed she was bleeding a bit. So, I had my Mam help me check and sure enough, she's at the beginning stage of her season.

Oh, and speaking of Bella, she's got her second shot on Monday. I'm taking her in by myself in the morning and Kero's staying with Kelly. I was going to take her in the afternoon and leave Kero with my Mam, but it's easier to trust that the morning buses will show up than it is with the afternoon buses, so, I decided to take her in the morning instead. And Bella's papers for her chip that say she's legally ours arrived yesterday. So, she's ours now, no doubt about it!

I need to get Kero a new bowl again. Turns out melamine bowls and concrete floors just don't mix! No, I didn't drop his bowl. I put it on the worktop, Bella chased Chance, Chance jumped on the worktop and sort of made himself room by pushing the bowl off onto the floor. It had a huge crack in it. So, right now he has a plain green plastic one that I had (it's his travel bowl) and I need to buy him another new one. Damn!

Anyway, I'm going to end this here I think.

Oh, and if you "somehow" didn't notice, I've been playing with my blog the last couple of days and guess what I figured out how to do? I figured out how to fiddle with the html settings so as to change the template of my blog slightly. Pretty cool, eh? *grins*
