we'll miss you!!!
Andrew Garcia, my friends . . . kicked off American Idol last night. The day has finally come. I was in some way prepared for it, as I know that this whole pageant is just whittling the days away until Crystal Snidesox stands on the final stage, but I just wasn't really ready for it yet.
(For the record, I think that Crystal Bowersox has a freaking amazing, powerhouse voice . . . I just think she is a little full of herself, needs an injection of charm and/or personality, and that she sounds the same in every song).
Andrew took it like a champ. He showed the perfect amount of emotion, smiled that big sweet smile, and was incredibly gracious to everyone . . . what a dearheart! I mean seriously, he's SO sweet. And I just love his tender growly voice--it's so much more unique to me than anyone else's voice. Admittedly, his Hound Dog rendition was a little eh, but wtf was he eliminated before Tim Jonas-hair Urban? I guess the tweens are keeping him around cause they think he's good-looking. Whatevs.
So long, Andrew! American Idol won't be the same without you!

Guess what this Saturday is? PROM! I can't wait to see all my kiddos dressed up in their pretty (or at least brightly colored) dresses & tuxes and walk around the dance floor insisting that they stop grinding doggy style! It's gonna be amazing. One of my students said to me the other day: "Ms. Kiefer, will you go to prom with me?" I responded, "Uh, NO." Him: "Pleeeease? I'll take you to Elephant Bar!"
Ha! Classy . . .
Happy almost Friday!
