A Night of TV and Wishful Thinking

What we’re watching tonight:

Deal or no Deal: Oh man, have you seen this show? It is the most ridiculously simple concept, but both the boys and I ended up screaming at the television “take the deal! come on, that suitcase could have twenty five dollars in it and they’re offering you a hundred and twenty five thousand! come on!” Really gets the heart pounding.

American Idol: Ace, Ace, Ace. Honey child. Daniel Bedingfield’s “If You’re Not The One” was the wrong, wrong wrong song choice. You were out of tune right from the beginning, and when you reached for that high note with your face all scrunched up? Not good, not good at all.

Gedeon-love the smile, love hearing him sing. Kevin Covais-he looks so young you think he’ll sound like Mickey Mouse but he has a surprisingly mature voice. Should go far. Chris Daughtry-the one I’m hoping will win, because it’s about time for a rockin’ guy to win. And he’s cute.

Lost: I hope someone does a recap of this episode because I missed a big chunk of it. I did catch Kate, Claire and the French lady finding a door in the jungle that led to some kind of operating room. Very Creepy.

The Barbara Walters Special: I don’t usually watch these, but she’s interviewing Matthew McConnaughey (holy crap, could he be any freakin’ hotter? Barbara told him he was handsome, asked him to smile, and then joked that the show was over. Swoon.) She’s also interviewing Patrick “Dr. McDreamy” Dempsey and George Clooney. I hope my heart can take it.

Kaitlyn was a tiny twelve-pound bundle of unhappiness all day today, so now that she and the boys are in bed and Chris is downstairs hiding in his workshop, I’m enjoying the peace and quiet. Although there is no alcohol OR ice cream in the house, so I’m not as relaxed as I could be. Jesus, Matthew McConnaughey just offered Barbara a foot rub. Pick me, Matt, pick me.
