I have to agree with you - I don't really have a super-big favorite this year. I really liked Mandisa and now that she's gone I don't know who to cheer for. I too like Kellie, Katherine and Taylor (my husband really likes Taylor) and agree that Elliot has a great voice. I also think the relationship that he seems to have with his mom is pretty cool, but he just doesn't wow me. Thanks for the "Idol-chat" - I think I've got it out of my system now.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964235745097265745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1144983362353500662006-04-13T22:56:00.000-04:002006-04-13T22:56:00.000-04:00I have been in a bit of a funk myself and can so r...I have been in a bit of a funk myself and can so relate to your words. Could it be that Spring is anticlimactic in some way. More than likely it is just the cyclical way of life.. up .. then down. Today was a little better for me.. I hope the same is true for you.

Although one of the symptoms for me was needing to sleep too much, not having trouble. But, each person is different.

I know that when I'm down, it's hard to pick myself up and keep going.

Sometimes I'll lie for a half hour, get up for an hour and back to bed for a half before starting my day. Today, I simply got up. And I wasn't suffering from heat anything. It was simply a full mind that wouldn't shut down. Adding a heat factor must be utterly frustrating.

It is a matter of not caving in to it - and, I think this happens to all of us, eventually. <BR/><BR/>I started watching American Idol this season, with my daughter. I favored Taylor Hicks and Mandista, who seem to have the maturity to tour, promote, and sell their music. But, once Mandista took off her shoes, I knew she wouldn't hold up. That little Kelly deserves a break, a big win. Not to see either one of her parents on the show last night spoke volumes.Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634611054014237422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1144948155541199112006-04-13T13:09:00.000-04:002006-04-13T13:09:00.000-04:00Could your funk be in any way connected with any s...Could your funk be in any way connected with any stress or anxiety you might have regarding your upcoming trip to Arizona?<BR/><BR/>Also, maybe it's a reaction to the move. I know you've been there for a while, but this is your first Spring in the new house, isn't it? New cycling routes to find... roads to stroll?<BR/><BR/>Chin up, ol' man.
