Ok, don't judge. I'm about to reveal something. LOL!

I am going to admit it.  I watch American Idol. There.  I said it.

Yes! I am a fan of Jessica Sanchez.  And if you haven't heard of her yet, you will eventually do when the 11th season of American Idol comes to a close.

I rarely ask but if you could help vote for her every week, I would really appreciate it.  Voting starts at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time. - Watch American Idol on Fox - Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8/7c.

Thanks!!!

It's never too late.

We all have our goals. I have had a goal for a while now and I've tried very hard to achieve it. I went back to school and I promised myself that I will have that Bachelor's Degree up on my wall someday. I worked full time in the morning and went to school in the evenings. It was tough. There were times when I would sleep early in the evening when I don't have classes and wake up at 3:00 a.m. to study. I would go to work and take my exams that same evening.



It's been a while now and when I started to not feel well (probably because of over exhaustion), I took a semester off. That one semester lead to two semesters. Now, I have been off for a year. I am almost at the brink of losing my momentum.

One phone call changed all that. A buddy of mine started taking his Masters three years ago. I must tell you that I was already back in school years before that but I could only handle a class or two every semester. My buddy called me to tell me that he just took his last class and that "he's done"!

That statement lit a fire under me. I am not going to give up. I am going back to school. It's not that I need it anymore because I do have a very good job and work for a multi-national company. I own my home and life is quite well. But that missing diploma on my wall still bothers me to this day.

I am going to enroll in the spring. I am 40 credits shy of getting that diploma and I am not going to give up. It is never too late.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

In the meantime, here's Ivan Scannell

TGIF! Have a great weekend everyone!

I was just on vacation in Argentina and Brazil last month and I'm already itching to go somewhere.  If plans work well, I may be going to Montreal next month.  Montreal is the hidden gem of North America.  It's got the European flair without the cost of Euros.

I am meeting with friends tonight for happy hour and discuss which mode we're going to use to get there.  Driving is an option since we only live approximately 9 hours away.  Flying would be the most ideal but fares are so expensive these days.

I will have to think this one through.  I need someone to take care of my dogs... again... :)
