18. I'm surprisingly sad that Whitney died. Addiction breaks my heart, and I hate that it stole a mother and daughter once again. I also hate that it stole The Queen--that voice was such a gift.
19. "The Greatest Love of All" has always been one of my favorite songs, but I forgot how great "I Have Nothing" is. Entertainment Weekly called it the song that brought "power" into "power ballad," and I think they're right.
20. I am looking forward to watching "This Means War," even though it might not be a super film. It's probably the baby blues of Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. They remind me of Beau's. :)
21. My husband is the greatest man that I know. He cares so deeply that it hurts him, and he struggles to become the man that God has called him to be. I love that man.
22. It should go without saying that I don't support what Chris Brown did to Rihanna. It's terrible, awful, and inexcusable to beat a woman. However, he completed the punishment the courts gave him and participated in treatment. So is he really not allowed to still be a musician and a good one at that? Isn't it possible that he continues to regret his behavior and work to be a better man?
23. It turns out that Justin Bieber might actually be talented. I ended up watching Never Say Never over the weekend. That boy had rhythm and could play drums like nothing else--at five years old. And now he has song-writing credits on most of his songs, plays the guitar and the piano, and can dance. Didn't want to be impressed by him, but apparently when he smiles, I smile. ;)
24. I bought my first bag of Brachs jelly beans for 2012 today. That means it's spring.
25. It's good to get away and spend a weekend with good friends and no kids. And then it's good to come home.
26. Every woman should have a couple of best friends--who keep you up too late talking and then don't get mad when you fall asleep in the middle of their sentence, watch Justin Bieber movies with you "for work research," pray for you when you cry, share your history and love you anyway, believe in your dreams when you don't feel like you can, laugh with you like a little girl, and promise to tell you when they think you need to grow up.
27. I'm blessed to have two of those friends. And I'm also blessed to have many others who go much deeper than mere acquaintances.
28. Sometimes I just can't make it past the first five pages of a book.
29. I love my iPhone. Those apps are quite something, and I'm going to work hard to become the mayor of something. Thanks for making me sit in my car just a few seconds longer at each destination, Foursquare.
30. It's exciting to have friends expecting new babies and even more exciting to know it's not me.
31. Mondays are my favorite TV nights--
32. I wish celebrities would take better care of themselves so that their kids don't have to say goodbye to them so early.
33. I can't help it. I love to watch red carpet specials and awards shows. The American Music Awards are always my favorite, but I do like the Emmy's and Oscars, too. And the Grammy's. Seriously, I think I watch almost all of them.
34. Sometimes I miss working full time, because I enjoy working at a desk and keeping everything organized. And I love office supplies.
Now I'm going to go eat some jelly beans and settle in with The Voice.

I love your randomness. #23 makes me smile almost as much as #26/27.
And the only other comment I can think to make right now should probably stay in Pentwater... ;)
