Cherries, in a bowl, on my deck, that I ate.
Kyla girl, visiting dog, whom I adore.
The official Christmas tree burn, long overdue, followed by Smore Night.
A cute girl, with red in her hair.
A small boy, playing his DS in Dan's awesomely organized closet.
My kids, being kids.
Just a few random snaps from my everyday life.
I'm sure I'd say something much more witty and clever to accompany these photos but I'm still trying to figure out how the "Glambert Army" i've got tattooed across my you-know-what-ski will wear over the years knowing he was only the second best.
Only time will tell.
Miss M! says
Second best, perhaps, but he has a chance at a real record contract now instead of the crappy one AI will give the winner.
(dang you get up early!)
Angie says
You do get up early, I am east coast and wow! He’ll be a star, so will lots of them!
Kristie says
Second best in votes, maybe, but clearly first in talent. And I love that your son is playing the guitar (I think?) in the bonfire picture. π
Heidi says
Great pics. π Why is Cole in the closet? LOL
Chris says
Not second best at all, he’s #1 in my book. Kris got all the Gokey votes, but in the end, it’s for the best. Adam will shine and be around for many years to come.
Judy in Huntsville [al] says
He probably got the better deal afterall – no being held to the lameness of idol songs – he’s a star and it’s going to be fun to watch him fly!
k8scraps says
I’m glad to see that you haven’t taken to your bed (or worse) in light of last night’s outcome. It makes perfect sense when you think that gokey-ites would more naturally move to kris than to join the glambert army……..small comfort, I know.
Adam’s boots in the Kiss number were fabu, tho. I just kept thinking of the old SNL routine…Peter Crisssssssssssss from Kissssssssssssssss……….{I am quite old}.

I can, and will, one up you on the Christmas tree burning … because, you see … my dear husband just burned our tree last week … from TWO YEARS AGO!
Lsat year we did artificial (son’s allergies) – and the tree from the year before was still laying behind the shed.
Proud. Yes. So proud.
Mona says
Well just remember season 5 – Taylor Hicks won Idol, but Chris Daughtry was the winner IRL!!! Thinking the same thing will happen this season, too!
Tobey Saniuk says
I love the picture of Cole in the closet. That’s some good stuff!
Lazy Mom Leslie says
Did Aidan get a haircut? Love the pic in the closet. Dan looks like a shoe man. My hubby has way more shoes than I do, and that’s saying a lot!
kelli says
Why is Cole in the closet? Is it some kind of parenting torture I don’t know about?
Jakesmom says
Clearly the bulk of the army was out getting their nails done when they were supposed to be voting.American Idol and Dancing with the Stars – this year is the year of the underdog. But at what cost? A reluctant idol (who has a great voice) will he be a star? Humble pie does not really fill you up, it just has no calories.
I am just sayin’ I guess if Glambert had won and it was expected what would we be talking about today…the cost of ratings. He still got the car…and will have an honest to goodness shot at being a star…He fit right in with the Queen band and KISS that is for sure.
Christy B says
Fabulous pics!!
Jaana Olsen says
This post, and its format, made me laugh (especially the last two photos). Awesome.
Time to be Ms. Brightside here. I’ll echo that Adam will forge on and do what he wants to do (I can’t imagine him fitting into the Idol mold). Listening to him perform with Kiss and Queen last night just kind of solidified that for me.
Sarah says
I’ve never seen a man with so many shoes before. Is that normal? And apparently his feet don’t stink either (or perhaps Cole has a lousy sense of smell?).
Sarah says
The pic “Little boy playing DS in the closet” is pure ART! I love it!
Nicole Snow says
You ate your deck??? Perhaps you may have dangled that modifier. π Just teasing.
Joann says
I love Cole in the closet! What a great moment to capture.
Sharon says
What’s with boys & their need to play DS in confined spaces? My son likes to squeeze in between the couch and the wall to play.
Melissa LaFavers says
You ate your deck? Dude…you must’ve been hungry…
: )

Jane Schiller says
The last pic, were Aidan and Cole are dressed up, reminds me of my relationship with my brother and sister. Brother and sisterhood around the nation is just the same wherever you go, it seems.
Carol Clayton says
Well, Adam might not have won, but he definitely was NOT second best. Keep the faith – time will tell!!!!
Were all of these pics taken with your new camera? They’re all fabulous, BTW.
Kathy F says
Cathy- It looks as though your kid shave your fun personality! π Love the pics…thanks! π
gIDGet says
I am comforted by the knowledge that somebody else organizes his shoes the same way I do mine. Easy in, burrow around, easy out.
Melony Wells says
I’m not sure that being the Idol winner is such a winning opportunity. We seem to hear more from those who didn’t take the big prize. I’m thinking Glambert dodged that bullet and go on and sing HIS songs HIS way and have a successful career.
Love your typical day pics.
Sara S says
mmmmmm…. cherries! where did you get them? i haven’t seen them in stores yet.
Rosy says
Tee hee!!
How did the deck taste?

Sue McGettigan says
Fun photos, and don’t worry about the Glambert tattoo, our guyliner guy is going to be a MEGASTAR, no worries!! He’ll make us all proud π
Sue McGettigan says
Oh yeah, and Adam won’t have to record that WOEFUL song!!!! Reasons to be cheerful π
amada queen says
Those are wonderful shots. Especially the closet scene. I love the ‘organized’ effect. It adds poetry.
