Fasten your seat belt, and let's go on a road trip!
Yeah, I've always been a real square.
Oh No! Look over there! Somebody spilled a big pile of wood on the street! What a mess!
Look at all of those street signs! I'm getting so confused. Can you check the map for me?
________________________________________________________
What is the name of the street that is marked in red?
That's where we need to turn.
That's where we need to turn.
Oh Look! My grandchildren's pictures are on the scoreboard at the ball game!
I'm trying to keep my eyes on the road. I couldn't see what Will Smith was advertising on that sign, could you?
Is someone picketing a business over there?
Oh, what a pretty garden!

Do you want to catch a movie?
Is this where I'm supposed to turn?
Look at that pretty Tudor-style home.
See if you can get some good music on the radio, 'cause you sure don't want me to start singing!
What a good lookin' young man. I wonder if he needs a ride? He looks kind of familiar. Oh! It's that really talented guy from Arkansas. He's a finalist on American Idol. What is his name? My memory is just not very good.
You're right, it's KRIS ALLEN! We won't need the radio, and I won't need to start singing. We'll just give Kris a ride, and we can enjoy his fantastic singing as we drive down the highway.

ReplyDeletesilvia.
Goodness gracious...when I first started reading this post, I thought "Oh no, she better NOT be going to the Finale!" This is soooo cute. I love American Idol. I have to say that I truly thought the finale would be between Danny and Adam. I do like Chris, I def think he can sing and he's cute...but shoot me girl, 'cuz I think Adam is going to win. Shoot me!
ReplyDeleteYou know Kris has my vote Laurie, your road trip was fun, especially as you went via London, and right by my old home near the barbican lol. I am sure my sister who lives there will vote for Kris too as she watches AI every week. happy monday, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteYou sure are a fan! :-) Who would have though LoL. 2 more days of waiting . . .
ReplyDeleteLi
So am I understanding correctly that you want me to vote for, what's his name again, oh yeah Chris something or other? lol You clearly have not made up your mind who you are supporting yet have you?! Come on woman, it is tomorrow night, time to stop being wishy washy and pick your favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'd make fun of your blockhead but since you drive such a fancy car, I'll let it slide if you take me for a spin.
LOL!!
ReplyDeleteXXDenise
This is so cute! I am a Kris Allen fan too and I will be voting!!! He is just a little doll baby! All American Guy with a great voice!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging comments on my blog about "the wreck"! We are in recovery mode and waiting on estimates! No fun!
I hope you have a great week!
Lou Cinda :)
Heehee Laurie...It's great to be back & thank you for your sweet comments on my blog. What a road trip...I must confess I quit watching AI when Clay lost to Rueben...but I WILL vote Tuesday for Kris Allen...hey, with a last name like that (same as mine) he's gotta be great! Loved this post!

rue
I guess I am going to have to watch..you are shaming me into it.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I watched was when that Hicks guy won..whatever happened to him??? Idol today , gone tomorrow..:)
I think you have to send Janice an email and convert her..but be polite!
LOL you are hilarious...and I have a feeling Kris Allen approves of this message! But alas...although I think he is a talented and very nice young man. I have to vote for the other guy...please don't hate me!
ReplyDeleteToo funny girl...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteLOL! You are too funny! I guess I'm really square...I've never even watched the show!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the bubble blowing tip...I LOVE it!
Have a happy week!
;-D
Cute post, Laurie! I did not watch American Idol this season, so I don't have a favorite. Good luck to your guy!!
ReplyDeleteSo Laurie, Who are you voting for tomorrow night on American Idol? LOL! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't get into that show. There must be something else I am hooked on.
ReplyDeleteI do watch Dancing WTS. Not too much dancing lately but lots of hugs, and more.
TV is ending the season, you can tell.
That was a really funny post.You rock!
btw, that was my 2 grandsons, not just one. I guess they look alike, but I don't see it.
I'm getting it vote for Kris Allen?
ReplyDeleteLOL, consider it done!
Cathleen
So Laurie? Have you decided who your going to back for American Idol? :)
ReplyDelete~Liz
Awesome post! Kris has my vote for sure!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Carol
By the way, do you ever watch that program, American Idol? Who do you like?
ReplyDeleteWell Laurie, it took me 15 mins. of messing around, but I finally got this window to open! I just don't get it. It must be my slow computer and all of your comments/pictures.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you always give me a giggle with your great posts, and I wish I knew how you do all those fun things! You must be so proud of a local boy making this far with Idol. I do really, really like Kris. I think it would be fun if he won.
Hey, that is one reason I go to the gym early. Otherwise I'd be making excuses all day why I can't go!
Cute post. Kris Allen better give you a hug and a kiss when he wins!...Christine
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog! You are just too cute! And don't forget to vote for Kris Allen (in case you forgot). lol!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment.
Cute, cute post!!! I love watching American Idol and this season sure seemed to go by fast.
ReplyDeleteThey are both great singers.
Laurie
ReplyDeleteI know you aren't on here right now...but I am hoping you are watching American Idol right now! If I had your number I would have called you after that performance by Kris Allen! How proud is Arkansas right now??? I can feel the emotions right now!
They've just complete Round 1 and I LOVE Adam...and I agree that Kris surpassed Adam so far....may the best guy win..if there IS a best guy!
enjoy.
Judi
Oh honey I needed a seat belt to keep me in my chair when he was singing tonight. He has me floating and light headed:)
ReplyDeleteOh,Laurie, you are soooo funny! What a great post. You must be Kris's biggest fan. If he wins, it'll be because of you and all your blogging friend!
ReplyDeleteWho did you say you want to win Idol? tee hee.....
ReplyDeletecute post!! Whew! Are we there yet?
xo
Becky
Assistant Reporter Susie is headed to downtown Conway for tonight's show..final show, I might add..it's Ricky Nelson vs. Elvis, the king..David vs. Goliath..Conway vs. California..whatever..it has been fun!!!Susie
ReplyDeleteLOL! So I guess you like Kris? Oh well, we can still be friends. We'll know in a few hours who wins - I have to TIVO it because my husband isn't home and he wants to watch it with me. What torture!
ReplyDeleteManuela
Did he win? It hasn't been revealed yet in my time zone!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you and Chris! I only watched last night for the first time and he was my choice too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Chris or is it Khris....on winning American Idol! I'm happy for him, his family, and YOU!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken Laurie, didn't the guy you wanted to win...umm..what was his name? (LOL)
ReplyDeleteDidn't he win last night?! Woo Hoo!!!!! I hope he sends you a singing telegram thanking you for your ad campaign girlfriend! You deserve it! I'm pretty sure it was you that brought in the winning votes!!! Congrats! Love Ya! Lauralu :)
LOL yahooooo! Laurie Congrats on your Win. Chris is an adorable guy and Im so happy for him. Im happy for Adam too. I don't think there is a loser once they make it to the top 6. This was an amazing year for Idol.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Laurie. I'm so glad Kris won. Bet Susie was busting some buttons. You need to give me a lesson in PhotoShop.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I think I have a slight concussion. I was laughing so hard I hit my head on my granite desk top! LOL
ReplyDeleteSo um who are you pulling for in American Idol LOL just kidding!
This was fun!
