Week 1 Green Room - Day 3

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

As I was reading through the topic 1 posts last night before going home something occurred to me. I had held my tongue a bit in the Topic 0 posts just because, well, anyone could make a lucky shot. But now that I've seen two posts from most of you it's got to be said - this is going to be a TOUGH season.

Not that there haven't been a LOT of really, really talented people in past seasons. My god there have been! But reading the entries, I literally have no idea who is going to win. My "favorites" list is a good 75-80% of what I've read so far. It's going to be interesting to see how this thing shakes out.


Remember to post your topics at: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/72539.html before this Friday Nov 9th at noon EST.

So what is on your agenda for today?

There you are, Gary! My husband threw a monkey wrench into my original plans since he decided to work from home today :P

I wanted to ask you a question. My husband's involved with a non-LJ site that's looking for personal essay/memoir submissions. He'd like me to submit over there whatever I submit here. I told him I wasn't sure it'd be kosher, but I'd ask you.

*puts moderator hat on Gary and offers him a cookie*

Good morning!

Honestly? Not throwing up. I am hoping that whatever disagreement my gut and I are having is of the 24 hour variety.

Overslept...should be getting out to door in about 15 minutes but yet I am sitting in here in the pj's checking out LJ.

So oh yeah agenda...

**offers you comfort**

I hope you are feeling better soon.

hope you feel better.

I have to agree with Gary about the quality of writing this round. As of my last check, I have read 91 entries, and will vote for a minimum of 64.

There are a lot that I liked, but I had to do some winnowing somehow. Right now 64 represents all those entries that are "way above average."

I am seriously impressed with all of them!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

That's absolutely fine. It's your work. You can do with it whatever you want to do with it!*g*

*takes cookie* Thanks!

I was finally going to deep-clean a few rooms today, but I can't have SO around while I'm doing it. He'll drive me nuts :/

I just wish I didn't feel so congested and weary. There are so many things I'd like to do -- starting Xmas xhopping, for example -- but every time I think about it I just get more weary *shrug*

*Pours Puppetmaker40 a glass of Vernor's Gingerale*

Here ya go. It should help settle your tummy a little. So sorry you don't feel good today!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it'd be OK during the actual contest, so I thought I'd ask.

*offers him another cookie knowing that he needs his strength for moderation*

;)

ew... feel better soon!

[tdarling.livejournal.com]

My agenda?? Catching up on LJ!! I have soooo much reading to do!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

I have some mommying to do during the day - lunchtimes/naptimes/storytimes/playtimes etc, then when my husband comes home I get to go running for the first time since last week. I need the exercise - and the alone time - for sure!

I'm making a spinach quiche and cheesy potato soup for dinner and tonight, oh tonight, I have a mountain RANGE of laundry to dominate.

I am great about washing clothes, but then I let the clean stuff hang out in my laundry room till it's are a five foot tall pile of wrinkled mess again. I'm so bad!

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

Get feeling better soon, hon. I HATE Con crud!

[celticboy.livejournal.com]

*slips you $50 to add mine to the list*

[go-orgoahead.livejournal.com]

Just thought I'd let you know that I'm going to have to drop out of the competition.
Sorry!

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

I understand needing time away from Mommy things. As much as I wish I didn't have to work, I'm grateful for the non-mommy time it gives me every night.

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Bloody working today....probably struggle to catch up on LJs tonight or before deadline Friday...

From the entries I've seen thus far -- pretty talented bunch...

And this topic was difficult for me...*beams at every good comment I get*...

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear this. :( I was looking forward to reading what you had to say. Will you play the Home Game?

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

What am I going to do today? I'm going to try to avoid not letting the fact that I was woken up by the sound of what seemed to be workmen hitting the side of my apartment building with a sledgehammer.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Thank you. This morning so far has been better so I am crossing my fingers that this is over.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am not a good sick person.

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

Er, that "not" shouldn't be there. ::sigh:: I'm a bit sleepy, you see, BECAUSE I WAS WOKEN UP BY WORKMEN HITTING THE SIDE OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Vernor. Wow, I hadn't thought about that brand in a while. You're right that would taste good right now and it is a great tummy cure.

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

There's no way I'm going to get caught up on LJ Idol tonight. As much as I'd like to, there's just too much on my plate. I'm grateful that (at the very least) I've gotten my entry out.

My day is going to be:

• Being Mommy


• Packing for our trip to NJ tomorrow


• Finishing laundry


• Working


• Really not looking forward to being up at 4 am tomorrow

It's the most relaxing day I've had this week!
