The one thing that got me through the work day today was knowing that tonight was American Idol! I haven’t always been a fan, but when I started dating the Duke he got me hooked. It’s such an addicting show! I mean, once you pop, you just can’t stop. Carrie Underwood is my all-time fave. No one will ever compare to that blonde beauty.
Before I could bask in the glory of Idol, though, I had to study today. I’ve got a degree in Advertising, but have decided to become a teacher. As such, I have to take a handful of education courses and pass the Florida Teacher Certification Exams. I take the Elementary K-6 test at the end of the month. Wish me luck!! It’s basically four years of college wrapped into one test.
After work the Duke and I headed to my friend Stephanie’s house for some Idol fun. She made a delicious pot of chili. I had a huge portion (I was starving) topped with jalapenos, sour cream, cheese and corn bread. Not at all healthy but oh, so good.
My cute friend Anna got a little excited about her bowl of chili.
Steph also made a huge pan of brownies.
They looked amazing and smelled divine, but I had to pass. The hearty bowl of beefy chili was enough for me! When I got home I munched on a handful of yogurt covered pretzels with a dollop of light cool whip and some mini marshmallows.
I’m currently regretting eating so much. I’m beyond stuffed. It’s time for me to catch up on the Idol that’s on my DVR and hit the bed. An early morning gym session is DEFINITELY in my future. Nighty night! The Duchess
Love the blogging action sista. And the chili looks so professional! Btw…Heather made the brownies but used my oven (so I guess that counts?)! Thanks again for coming over and thank Jas too.
A.I. is in full swing and we must plan on where to meet next! Carrie Underwood is my all time fav. also and was the one who got me to send my first “text” vote ever.
Good luck on your test! It is extremely hard….but something you have to do, so just do it MC!
Well, back to work……peace.
