Loaners. As in items that do not belong to me. Not Loners, as in what Mike and I were tempted to be this last weekend while at these family events in Denver.
I have a loaner phone and a loaner car right now. I have decided that there must be something weird inside of me that causes these major appendages of my life to not work correctly. It seems like I always have silly little mechanical problems with cars and phones. Currently Smartypants (my cell) is not working. The camera broke and then about a week later the display shut off. Grrrr. Then, last Friday when Tanya was driving my car all the warning lights turned on. This, of course, freaked her out. Totally understandable. Yet it did not freak me out because I have dealt with this already twice with my current car ('05 beetle) and countless times with my previous car ('03 beetle). As much as I love Volkswagens, I do not think I can speak complimentary of them any longer. Nope.
They are doing musical theatre tunes on American Idol tonight. Yay. :-) That makes me happy. It also makes me happy to hear that Constantine was in a touring cast of Rent. It does not make me happy so far that he is the only one so far that seems to have actually even heard a musical theatre song before this show. Also, that they are only doing old-school classic showtunes. So far it's been Babes in Arms, Man of La Mancha, Funny Girl (which is a movie-musical and shouldn't even count!), and Sound of Music. Let's hear some Avenue Q! Or Urinetown! Or even The Producers or Les Mis or Phantom! Oooh! What about Jerry Springer the Opera?! Yeah, that'd be fun on American Idol. :-)
I have a middle-school-aged neighbor who is learning to play drum kit. That also is quite fun...
That's all for now. See ya.
love meagan
