I WON, I WON!

I am SO excited because I actually WON this gorgeous apron from Carolyn’s Kitchen.  I can’t wait to get it in the mail.  I have been wanting one of these forever and I can’t believe my good luck. I better go buy a lottery ticket.  I might have to break out the camera  and post a picture on my blog of me in my apron.  LOVE IT! Just call me Bree Van de Camp!

This contest was sponsored by the Mom Blogs at MomDot. If you aren’t already, you should definitely be reading this blog which has some of the best information for Mom Bloggers on the Web.  They also have the coolest contests in the blogosphere.  Thanks for the apron guys!

The Rest of America Agrees with Me

Apparently I am not the only person who is not a fan of American Idol’s Season 8.  The rest of America agrees with me.  Well, maybe not the rest of America but at least this blogger does and the 2000+  people who commented on the post.  Maybe on Wednesday I will change my mind with Group 2.  I am thinking – maybe not.  By the way ratings are down 8 percent from last season.  Wow, only 8 percent.  It seems like it should be more to me.  Love it or hate it I still watch it.  Just call me obsessed dedicated.

Season 8 – Not that Great . . .

Normally I am obsessed with watching American Idol, but I have to say I am disappointed so far with Season 8.  I think they have made too many changes.  They could have just added a new judge and that would have been enough change for one season.  But they had to switch everything around.  What was the point of the “judge’s mansion” episode?  I am also not a fan of the Top 36 three week elimination.  I am not impressed with the talent so far this season either.  I like Danny Gokey’s voice although I am getting tired of hearing about his late wife in EVERY episode.  He looked so much cuter in his glasses. 

I am normally a big Idol fan  but this year I just can’t seem to get into it.  Is anyone else turned off by the changes?  Do you think the talent is better than last year?  Maybe I will change my mind later on in the season. I can only hope.

The Grammar Police

After reading some horribly written blogs this week I feel compelled to call in the Grammar Police (aka me).  Now to protect the guilty, I am not revealing which blogs brought tears to my eyes (even though I was seriously THISCLOSE to issuing some citations and naming names in this post).  Instead I thought I would just offer the blogosphere a grammar lesson of some things to avoid in your writing.  THIS time the Grammar Police did not issue citations. Next time you may not be so lucky.  Here are the citations – in order of how they got on my nerves this week:

1.  “S” denotes a plural, not ‘s.  People — not giveaway’s but giveaways.  Contest’s is also incorrect — use contests.  Even my third grader knows this basic English rule.

2.  Limit your use of exclamation points.  Please do not make matters worse by using double exclamation points after ever single sentence!!  Exclamation points are to be used for effect and use them sparingly!!  They are annoying me already in this paragraph!!  I will hunt you down if  you do this on your blog!!

3.  Use contractions sparingly.  An occasional contraction here and there is okay but please do not use a contraction in every sentence. I cringe when I see I two or more contractions in the same sentence.  Please note I won’t be reading your blog because I don’t like your overuse of contractions.

If you have any grammar citations you think need issued, leave them in a comment and the Grammar Police will be glad to write about them later.
