Oops I did it Again

...no, not head into a blog post with a really annoying song, but I got too twisty for you.

Sorry about the confusion. There are a couple who found their way to MUDdy, bloody related posts, but for the most of you-- time's an issue because we're all *trying *to *post *every *day.

Just remember to swing by on Thursday the 12th, it will all be explained then.

*****************************

Miss Ky in the back of the car: "I'm singing too."

Me, "pop"ping out to BBC1 (closest thing to rocking out): "Oh yeah? You like this song? It's by Cheryl Cole"

Miss Ky: "Oh! I LOVE Cheryl Cole, she's my favourite!"

Mommy doesn't share your sentiments dear, but I love you for loving your music.

(Miss Ky's other favs are Beyonce, Alesha Dixon and Alexandra Burke)

Last night Joe McElderry performed Circle of Life from The Lion King on The X Factor. Miss Ky was transfixed by the dancers...

"Look! Those girls are pretty. They have Sleeping Beauty dresses!"

Pink lights bouncing off twirling ruffles has sold this girl. The camera zooms in on Joe, "And look! There's the prince!"


Joe, you have a very young fan that considers you a prince.

Who cares if you don't win the X Factor, that should be enough right there.

And She's Off...

...to a brilliant start. I nearly forgot to post today.
Today marks the beginning of thirty days of nonsensical posts and me whacking my head against the wall in wonder of why I do this to myself every year.
NaBloPoMo has started again. If you recall last year I said, "Never again", but the really great thing about having brain cells eaten up by five births is that one tends to jump in with both feet to things one shouldn't because one can't really remember what it was like last time (same thing can't be said for the five deliveries-- I remember them vividly and there won't be a sixth!).
So, fair warning: Delete me from your readers now. It won't be pretty. There might be ranting about the XFactor that will mean nothing to you bloggers out of the UK... for example,

WHO decided that Danyl Johnson was the "most hated contestant"? The media?!
The same media that was hedging bets that he'd be the first to go?

Where was the media when we were all demanding Dannii's head when she made the totally inappropriate comment about his personal life? Did THAT look like audience"hate" towards a man that is clearly an exceptional singer?

Don't get me started about how Cheryl and Dannii are fueling the so called "hate" with their comments, "Your arrogance..." "Your cockiness" "You are not connecting with the audience" etc.
WHAT? Last night the hubby and I turned to each other, "Did we miss something?"

BTW Cheryl, it's obvious you don't like Danyl but your nasty little snippets are enough to make me NOT want to buy your music no matter how catchy I find it. Trying to make him appear arrogant and cocky will NOT keep your people in longer.

OH, and Louis comment, "My guys (John and Edward) get all sorts of mean headlines, but they come out every week smiling".
That's because "your guys" are a joke. This competition to them is a joke. Danyl actually wants this-- no wonder it's hard to get on the stage with all the fuss in the press against him.

Danyl, if the media were in our living room with cameras rolling, you might enjoy watching 3 little boys chanting your name at the TV while waiting for the results to be read out and an entire family cheer as you are declared safe. An entire family who sees nothing but a fabulous performer and talented singer.
I imagine that there's many more households like it. It's unfortunate the media can't cover the real news.
