American Idol officially started tonight. Mom and I used to love watching it together and rooting for our favorites. We usually liked the same ones and hated the same ones. We would fix appetizers like cheese sticks and potato skins and sit in the living room watching. During the commercials we would go out front for a smoke break and peek in to make sure it hadnt started again. It sucks sitting here by myself watching with no one to listen to me talking about someone's hair or outfit or song. I miss you Mom.
