Mike watches very little television. The nightly news and maybe Seinfeld re-runs if he didn't fall asleep during the weather forecast.
Fact #2
For the last 8 years, from January through May, Mike watches television every Wednesday and Thursday night. For five months, our lives and schedules revolve around a television show. American Idol.
Fact #3
Viewership for American Idol is at all-time lows. Even in our own family, everyone has lost interest in the show. Except Mike.
Fact #4
For the past several years, Mike has correctly guessed at least 2-3 of the top 5 contestants during 'Hollywood Week'.
Fact #5
This year is probably Mike's favorite year. He loves. I mean LOVES the last few contestants. (And yes, one of the top 2 he has predicted all along.)
Fact #6
My dear husband works very hard. He is hard to convince to ever take time off of work. Our most frequent arguments for 16 years of marriage are about days off of work (or the lack of).
Fact #7
Neither Mike or I are spontaneous people
Fact #8
Mike is frugal.
Fact #9
Mike rarely takes time off of work.
Fact #10
Did I mention Mike is frugal and favors days at work.
Fact #11
Mike loves American Idol.
Correction.
Mike LOVES American Idol.
Fact #12
When my brother Casey called to say he has a ticket to the American Idol finale one week away, Mike replied, "I'm going."
Fact #13
A plane ticket to California with one week notice isn't exactly cheap.
Fact #14
This is a very busy time of year for someone in the construction/landscape business.
Fact #15
Mike is at the American Idol finale.
Fact #16
It makes me laugh. Although I think Keith Urban is HOT and I'm mildly jealous Mike will see him in person.
Fact #17
You know those dads you see on videos singing lullabyes and stuff to their children via cell-phones at airports, on the bus, etc? I think Mike should have been a good sport and not selectively "forgotten" this sign (made by Megan) when he left for the airport.
My husband is a nut.
No way!! Good for Mike. PS I love how you chose to write this post! xo
ReplyDeleteYeah for Mike and Casey!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny and also exciting!! Good for him! I am trying to get tickets to see Dr. Phil when we are in Califiornia this summer--I'm kind of embarrassed, but if I get tickets, I'll scream and jump up and down. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!!! When is the fianale? We used to watch that show faithfully but this is probably at least our third season not to watch... maybe even more. It still records faithfully twice a week on our DVR and I delete it without even a glance. But on a good note I did take Caitlin to one of the American Idol concerts when it was Clay Aiken and Reuben.
