  1. CV is reporting a Mi. concert on December 14th at the Fox theater, sale on Sept. 15th. I will be out of town during sale but I will work on someone buying me a ticket. I am so there!!!
  2. Checking in after my bike trip. Weather was great, no rain! We did a total of 292 miles in 5 days. Would of had a bit more but had to move our RV to the next stop everyday so it cuts out some ride time in the morning. Took a while to catch up on everything that happened while I was gone. I did have wifi at two school on Thurs. and Friday. Friday I went on and read a little then shut down computer and went to supper. I came back and went to sign on to finish reading and my hard drive died. Thank goodness my computer is only 5 month old and the hard drive is still under warranty so back it goes. I am on my 6 year old Dell. Maybe old but still works! I agree we need an annoucement of a Michigan concert. My work schedule is always so far in advance so I have to plan.
  3. Here reading everyday and hoping for some more tour info. At least one close to me. If worse comes to worse we will have to do the 6 hour drive to St. Charles. Off this afternoon to to to the start point of our 5 day bike tour. This is an organized ride so no riding by ourselves. We will do about 70 miles a day. Packed all morning I think we have everything. I may check in on Friday. There was one school last year that we stayed at that had wifi, so I will put my laptop in the car. I can not believe I am already getting info for the start of ski season. I am not ready, bike season is not done!!
  4. Home from work and saw the Tweet. Yes!!! Michigan is a go. I love that man.
  5. I am so tired of fans taking everything and making a big deal out of it. The most vocal of these fans are the first one who complain when they do not get the front row at a concert. I also am tired of reading how he is lazy and does not want a career. I love the guy and want him to entertain for a long time but I can see why he would just say I am done. He always has to try and please everyone. Fans wanted him to tweet but if he tweets something that they do not like he is juvenile and pissy. I think sometimes he deserves to get pissy.
  6. I also noticed Mi. not on list. I am keeping my fingers crossed. My concert buddy and I are so ready. We can not go to the Gala and this is my only chance this year to see him. We are hoping two close together so we can attend both. Start praying now!!
  7. Thanks for the Birthday wishes. I kinda dreaded this day because I turned the big 60(that is hard to write). I did not schedule myself to work because I remember what they did to me on my 50th. Went to Pilates and Steps today. Trying to add some more exercise because I am at a standstill on weight loss. I am down 35 pounds with 7 to go to get to a BMI of 23. I do not want to cut anymore calories since I eat about 1200 per day. I know this happens but it is frustrating. I turned down hubby about going out to dinner because temptation is there and I rather cook. My son is taking me out on Friday. I was hoping for a present that some dates would appear for Christmas. I am so hoping for Mi. or something close.
  8. Trying to catch up on everything. Was off line on a bike tour. We did 336 miles in 6 days. Very hot!! I am in the crowd of not being able to go to the Gala. I actually saved the money then my ski patrol recert fell on the same weekend. That is the reason I got to go last year was because of the date change. You better have great recaps. Do not know what I hit to change the print.
  9. Have read here everyday but just have been really busy. Still working full time and trying to spend time with my grandchildren. We got up early today to get a ride in before it got hot. We did 43 miles and got home before it reach 90 degrees. I have 10 days before my next bike tour and I hope the heat breaks at least to the 80's. Saw that one venue mentioned the Christmas tour. I am hoping that a venue near me picks it up. Traveling about 4-5 hours away is the farthest I want to travel especially if the weather starts to get bad. I remember in 2007 when he was in Kalamazoo we drove home that night and the strom was on our heals all the way. We made it before the weather got really bad. Same when we went to Waukegan. It started to snow about an hour away from home, remained light, and within two hours of us being home the roads were a nightmare. Like most people that is why I prefer a summer tour, but Christmas Clay is perfect and will not miss it.
  10. On a five day bike tour. We registered on Wed. so only rode 36 miles, then yesterday 65, and 56 today. Best news was when I got back to camp today my son had called and his wife had a baby boy this am. Weighed 7#1 oz, named Nolan Brady!!! Can't wait to go home in two days and see him. Clay looked great last night and sand wonderfully.
  11. When my kids were younger we spent many a day at the H. Ford Museum and also Greenfield Villages. They loved both. I was talking to my concert buddy this am and she said how loud the thunder was, I must of been tired, I heard nothing. Got up early today and walked 11 miles. I needed to get it done because I have to pack for the bike trip. Leaving yearly tomorrow am. The weather up North is going to be a little cooler than down here. Most of the days in the 60's and 70's. That is ideal bike riding weather. It makes it easier climbing the hills if the hot sun is not beating down on me. OK Clay! I am ready for you to come out and play!!
  12. Around but just lurking because not much to offer. I am also waiting for word of a tour. I just hope if he does it is relatively close. Car issues at this time. Can not go to the Gala and I had even saved enought to go. I am hoping that next year my ski patrol recert and the Gala fall on different weekends. I am doing a walking challege at work so every day that I am not working I have been out walking. Two days last week I was able to get 20 miles in each day the rest of the days I did 10 miles. When I do these challenges it cuts into my reading time. I have not read a novel since it started in April because everytime I sit down I realize I need to walk,so off I go. This week is also one of my bike tours. This one is a challenge since it is early in the year and I have to do alot of hills up in Lelanau Pennisula in Northern Micigan and do up to 70 miles in a day. I have wifi in the campground so will be able to check in after dinner at night.
  13. First time I have had time to get on and comment on Sunday. Was with Shortyjill and 6 others. We were so excited and cheered when it was announced that Clay had more donations than AH. With all sat there quietly when the announcement was made then the wind went out of our sails. Room very quiet and then disbelief. My friend who was with me does not go on the boards but is always with me at concerts and went with me to the Gala last year felt so bad that she basically just wanted to be alone and went into the bedroom and went to sleep. She said later that it took everything out of her and she still feels it. I was really non productive on Monday just thinking how much he really wanted to win for NIP. I care so much for him and always want the best so when it doesn't happen I feel really deflated. It seems like at times he can never catch a break, something is always in the way. I know we have the event in June to hear about but I am praying that he does not hold up in the damn man cave all summer. Looking at the event on Tues. night that he sang at the pictures look like the sparkle in his eyes was not there. Maybe I a reading more into then I should. He just did not look excited to be there. Busy schedule this week. Luncheon today and I need to get ready. I went out and walked 10 miles this morning so I can get my steps in before I do errands this afternoon.(the walking challenge at work still has 4 more weeks left). My SIL is coming and spending the weekend and I have to work 12 hours tomorrow. I need to make a point about posting more, I do come on and lurk alot.
  14. Congrats on all of you who will attending the Gala. I was hoping to go but that weekend is the only one I had a problem with. I have ski patrol recert and can not get out of it. If I do not go I can not patrol next season. I had already saved the money so I am playing pity me. You guys just give great recaps so I feel like I was there.
  15. Sitting here and reading all opinions and can not wait to see Sundays episode. I really do not like Penn because I know a couple of people just like him and can not get one word in because they monopolize the whole conversation. Went in this am and had my gallbladder out. Surgery started at 8:30am and I was let out of the hospital at 11:30. Have some surgical site pain but the ice pack is helping along with some meds. Taken two weeks off work so I should be good as new. Sure beats the nasty attacks I was having.
  16. I have been around and read here everyday just have not had alot to say. I am loving CAPP and Clay has never looked better. Some of the screencaps I have seen he is gorgeous. I watched the video from this morning and I laughed out loud to the comment to George about Betty White. I love the snarky side of Clay. This morning I got up and my freezer top shelf had defrosted my vegetagles and pork. I cooked the pork and adjusted the temp in the freezer. I do not think the door was left open at all. Just a little while ago I checked again and the vegetables are not frozen and the meat in the lower shelf is starting to thaw. Moved some stuff to my big freezer in the basement. Looks like I maybe going appliance shopping soon. The refrig part seems to be ok. I do not have time for this right now. Still working 12 hour shifts and still having ski patrol. I have to see a surgeon on Monday because I need my gallbladder out. Having fun right now!!
  17. Been reading around and some people are not happy with him calling him a ass and a cry baby. I sorry but if they can be nasty to him he has the right to state how he feels. Love him, and even though I have all the songs I will buy at least one copy to have. I bought the Playlist and had all the songs and I do put it into my CD ever once in awhile. I am so tired of people saying his career is over and that he better sing better songs. I may not like every song on the cd but love his voice!!
  18. Had to quote this because reading around it sure is starting. I have loved most songs that Clay has recorded and I am sure I will love this CD. Some are already sounding off about a tour and not going if these type of songs will be done. Same old merry go round just another day.
  19. Love the tweet picture and the CAP commercial. He looked really good and wears a suit really well. Been lurking lately because between ski patrol and working have had not much time to post. I can not wait for Feb.19th
  20. Happy New Years Everyone. Hope we all have a great 2012. Can't wait to enjoy Clay for 15 weeks. I am hoping he will be visable on other shows during that time. I am praying for a tour next year. Do not know if I can make it to 12 midnight. I will try. Have to get up for work at 5am. Weather here has been strange with rain, now winds and snow tomorrow. I hate driving on bad roads!!
  21. Merry Christmas Everyone!! Family has come and gone today. We ate alot and now it is just hubby and me relaxing. Back to normal week tomorrow with Ski Patrol in the morning. My siter went over and picked my mother up at the extended care facility she lives at. They called and wished us a Merry Christmas. My mom is 90 and at time pleanantly confused but she was cute with her greeting. My grandson had fun helping everyone opening up their present. He is almost 3 and is so much fun. Here is to having a great time with Clay in 2012!
  22. All I can say is that for my first Gala I came away spent. I loved it and to read all the recaps I can not add anything. I walked out of there in a true fog. Sorry I did not meet anyone, it is so hard to find people, we should have some kind of names on us!! I did meet Desertrose because we shared a cab back to the airport and realized we were on the same flight. I was only able to go because it was in December and I hope at sometime it can return to this month. I had so much fun and would love to do it again. The Gala awards were so moving and I thought Linda did a great job. My husband does not understand how I can spend the money to do this but what he does not realize is that I would do it in a minute again. Did I say I love Clay Aiken and his voice does things to me that no other performer can do.
  23. Reading around,why can't Clay's fans just be happy for him. I have never been upset because I could not attend something and was just happy to read some red reports. When he started in Spam I did not think I would ever be able to go and loved all the reports we were getting. Same with the Gala's, my computer was slow and could not download most of the video. I just was happy reading. I know some are upset about not hearing the song but it will be out in January. I do not think my AC station here will play it because they have not played him since 2004, did play him once a day when he was appearing in Clio then nothing. I do not do I-tunes my computer does not cooperate, so I hope my concert buddy can get the song for me if it becomes available. I am going to the Gala because of the date change and because I was lucky enough to get a bonus at work and also won the weight challenge last year. This maybe my only time, but I actually bought the ticket before the announcement of the single.
  24. I got home from work last night and had 49 messages. You guys were busy!!! Loved all the recaps and info. I hope for the best in May.
  25. Called awhile ago and my grandson was born. Weighed 8#6 oz and 21 inches long. Off to see him.
