Singing and cats

The last few times I've written in my blog I've needed a picture just to get me started. That way the fewest words I'll need can be all about the picture itself - without the fluff, if you will. Has this ever happened to you? This is Moon, the Queen Cat of The House, sitting on the living room carpet.

Watched a video that Carrie Underwood was singing in. I still believe she's the best EVER to come out of American Idol. Haven't heard anyone even close, either on the show or else where since her. Taylor Swift is good, and a few others. They're just stars though, not Super Stars like she is. We watched AI last night and there was a guy who tried out who is the brother of a guy that was on last year. When they asked him how long he'd been singing he said paraphrasingly, "3 weeks before my brother started the last year." Or maybe it was only before this year's auditions started. Anyway, I just thought it was cool that he really didn't KNOW he could sing, and he may not get passed Hollywood, that he was good enough to get there in the first place. I don't know, but that somehow gave me a sense of encouragement that ordinary people CAN become stars overnight, but you have GOT to try! Told my 16 year old daughter that she should tryout next year, but she doesn't think so. See, she's never thought of singing as a career so has never practiced. But why not? Maybe she's better than she thinks. Annnnnnnnyway... I just wanted to say what's lifted my mood over the last 24 hours. I may even make an audio video of me singing because I've never seriously tried, but... Hence why I was at Youtube listening to music.
