my secret dream

I watch American Idol almost religiously, along with, I'm sure, many of you.  My hubby's not a huge fan.  Honestly, he hates the show.  He knows it's all scripted, he knows it's a racket, he knows the whole thing is rigged.  Me?  I don't care.  So if he's home, I DVR it and get to fast forward through the commercials.

If there's one regret I may have to live with my entire life, it's that I'll never get to be on American Idol.  Don't laugh!!  I don't even know why I really want to be on the show.  I don't have a great voice.  I can carry a tune well, harmonize and sing pretty much anything.  But to get through to Hollywood, you've got to have that special 'something' that most people don't posess! 

I would never audition for the show.  First of all, I couldn't handle the rejection.  Second of all, I really have no desire to be on television.  And if by some miracle I made it, I wouldn't want to be away from my husband and family.

So why would I want to be on the show?  I think just for the chance to perform all different kinds of songs  in front of all different kinds of people!  Not that I really like to perform anyway...but I guess if I could choose one thing I'd like to do the rest of my life, it's sing.

Oh well.  Not meant to be.  That I can tell you for certain.  I'll just stick to "ABC's" and "I'm a Little Teapot."  The current favorites in my classroom.  I'll shine where I am.  :)
