Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

OK. I admit it. I watch American Idol! There! I said it. I blame my mother entirely. And can I just say I’m pretty amazed that Constantine was voted off? I think it’s the www.votefortheworst.com effect. What a weird way to entertain yourself, i.e. dialing a phone for a few hours just to mess with television results. I actually like watching the show, yet I’m not willing/don’t have the time or energy to compete against a bunch of 13 year-olds in a phone dialing race. Watching American Idol has also become this great bonding thing between my mother and I. I used to ridicule her for watching it. Now we like to gossip on Tuesdays after it’s over. I think that’s probably better than the ridiculing thing… you know… in terms of being a less shitty daughter.

Oh. There is another confession to make today. I bought four of these:

Does that make me shallow? Do you see what they are? They hold fully frosted cupcakes so well that you can store them upside down and they are fine. I don’t even remember the last time I made cupcakes, and when I did, I’m sure I didn’t frost them, but I can’t resist such a cute kitchen gadgety novelty.

At least I was brave and didn’t buy this! I mean, it isn’t like I didn’t want to or something. I was just really strong! OK, maybe I didn’t buy it because it was just an April Fool’s Day joke, but it was also the strength thing.
