Well I'm glad Brooke went home. She was getting more and more painful to watch with each passing week. I'm getting tired of Jason, or dreadlocks as I like to call him, but I guess I'll have to suffer another week.
As far as Seacrest's defense of Paula at the beginning of the show, I don't believe a word of it. Paula has come to the show drunk in the past and yesterday I could smell the alcohol through the TV. If it was true that she was in fact sober she desperately needs a(nother) psychological evaluation.

The new Jordan
I'm not talking about Kobe or Lebron here. I'm talking about Tim Duncan. The guy has made some clutch shots, but he resembles Jordan in a more meaningful way. Duncan gets the calls. In the past few minutes of this game I have seen Duncan trip himself and get a foul called on Shaq. I've seen him kick the ball out of bounds and get the refs to give it back to the Spurs. I've seen him almost fall to the floor after Shaq may have touched his eyebrows and get another foul on the big man. It's one thing to win a good game, but to have the officials decide who wins this game is ludicrous. Duncan has certainly fallen from grace since David Robinson retired, but what can you expect when his elder statesman is now Robert Horry, or Cheap shot Rob as I like to call him.

A Fun-Filled Weekend
We were so happy to have Grandma Powell visit this weekend. First it must be said that she drove down from Salt Lake on her own. Now I know this doesn’t sound that big but for my mom it is. She had never driven farther than Provo on her own so it is a major accomplishment. Way to go Mom! She came because I was throwing a Cookie Lee Jewelry Party. I was very happy that the party went off great and lots of people came and had fun and, of course, enjoyed some delicious cheesecake. I think I am an alright cook, but I must say, when it comes to cheesecakes, I am moving up into “Desert Chef” status. Then again, I have made them a lot so I better be getting good at them by now.
Spencer had his preschool “End of the Year” Celebration on Friday and surprised us all by actually singing the songs during their performance. Spencer isn’t much of a singer (still can’t sing the ABC’s) so this was a wonderful treat to his Dad and I. He has grown so much this year in preschool and I am just so thankful for his 2 teachers. As corny as it sounds, they are truly touching lives. Spencer’s last day is on Thursday and I am pretty sure that it is going to be hard on him. He really has come to love his classmates and his teachers and I am sure he will miss them.
We fly out on Sunday to Indiana / Kentucky to look for our house and to attend Jacob’s Graduation. I can’t believe it is finally here. I am so excited to get to see old friends again. I also can’t believe that we are buying a house. It just seems so grown-up. After living a rather transit life for 4 years this will be quite the big step for us. I go back and forth from being totally excited to totally freaked out. Such is life.

NBA on TNT: enjoy the comfort of your own home with a view from the nosebleeds
Could someone please tell me who the brains are behind this camera angle on TNT that moves along the court in an attempt to give me a fans view of the game? I can't stand it. Not only does it make me nauseous, but half the time you can't even tell what's happening on the floor.
Why Sloan will never be coach of the year.
With the Spurs safely up by 15 over the Suns Phoenix makes back to back baskets. Popovich calls a timeout, stops the Suns flow and safely gets his lead back up to 16 points. Similar situation in the Jazz game tonight. Jazz are up by 16 and Houston makes two threes back to back does Sloan call a timeout to stop the bleeding? No of course not, I think we should just go ahead and trust the players who allowed Houston two wide open threes in the first place. Houston comes down and Mutumbo gets a dunk to cut the lead to 8, does Sloan call a timeout now? Nope not yet. The Jazz trade a pair of baskets before Houston hits another 3. Does Sloan call a timeout now? Of course not. Trade a couple more baskets and the Rockets come down with a 6 point deficit and miss a 3 that would have cut it to 3. Does Sloan call a timeout now? Well duh, the run is over so why not stop time now to let the Rockets get things back together. The damage has been done and the Jazz finish the quarter out of sorts, up by 5 with no momemtum. That is some good coaching there Jerry.
