yeah!!! Kelly Clarkson won American Idol!!! :))) i'm so excited and happy for her. i have been voting for her for weeks. i can't believe how addicted i got to this show. i didn't like if anyone called me during it and i stayed offline when it was on! Congratulations Kelly!!!

now some sad news. the covered bridge that was made famous in the movie "The Bridges of Madison County" has been gutted by fire. :( i think this is so sad. that is one of my favorite movies. i cried when watching it and i just related to it so much. i went out and bought the movie after i saw it but i never watched it again cause it tore my heart out. they think the fire was intentionally set. some people are so screwed in the head. there are very few covered bridges left in the US. there are some in Pennsylvania where i am from.
