This is American Idol...

So I figured out how to record American Idol so I could watch it when I got back from Bible Study. I watched it last night at 11:30 and boy was it good!!

Kris started the show off with a sultry performance that won me over and made me forget about all the contestants. If I was doing brackets Kris would be in my final 2

Alison proved that she could slow things down and belt out a ballad but I still think she is in the bottom 2 and possibly going home tonight

Matt owned his song and showed his excitement for his genre but I wasn't impressed. I think Matt is going home tonight and if he doesn't there is something wrong. He's a good singer but not American Idol material

Adam was great as usual very theatrical and can strut with the best. I think he has the competition won

My favorite of the night was Danny. I could listen to him sing all day long. So the one who gets my vote (I actually tried to vote and the line was busy!) is DANNY!! let's take a look at his performance



And that my friend is why I will buy Danny Gokey's Album!

Be back tomorrow with results!!

Living a Godly Life

As I was preparing yesterday to teach the Jr. High Small Groups at Church, God showed me this passage and it summed up every thing we were talking about. Being a Christian is wonderful but it's not easy and we were never promised it would be easy. In fact if it was easy we really wouldn't have the relationship with God that we have now. It's through the struggles that we grow closer to God. In this passage Peter is telling us how a Christian should act and it calls for some hard things. I hope this passage blesses you as much as it has blessed me in the past 24 hours!

1 Peter 3:8-17 (New Living Translation)

Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. For the Scriptures say,
“If you want to enjoy life
and see many happy days,
keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies.
Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns his face
against those who do evil.”

Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!

Correct Predictions

I should start making bigger predictions about bigger things...nah I will just stay with AI predictions. In honor of Lil and Anoop leaving the show I will place my favorite song they sang on AI




We can breathe without you unfortunately Lil but good job for staying in for so long!



We will miss you Anoop! Matt should have been gone way before you!

When did I become the American Idol Blogging Nerd??

AI predictions

ok I don't have much time but here it is Lil and Anoop I think it is the end for you tonight and Kris with this performance you took it to the next level!



Danny you were good of course!

Let's see if I am right be back tomorrow!

I wasn't completely wrong...

So I picked the bottom 2 from American Idol but after Matt's performance Simon delivered the news that the judges were going to save him and no one was going home! As excited as I was I am a little disappointed because now 2 are going home next week and my predictions are that Lil and Matt will be the ones leaving next week but we will see!

Let's take a look at Matt's safe worthy performance!



Likes and Dislikes of the Results Show!

I never like it when the sing together it grates my nerves

I did like that the judges used their safe!!

I did not like either performances by Jennifer Hudson or Miley Cyrus (ps what happened to her hair it was a tragedy)

I liked that the contestants got to enjoy a night at the 17 Again premiere....I really want to go see that movie!

American Idol Predictions

So, this year I am a huge American Idol Fan!! I didn't get to watch it in college because really when do you get to watch TV in college? Anyway, AI is down the the final 7 and last night was motion picture night. My top 3 are Danny Gokey, Kris, and Adam Lambert. In that order and I have a crush on Danny Gokey so I want him to win it all but the reality is that Adam will win and I will be shocked if he doesn't.

Who is going home tonight? I am thinking it is going to be either Lil Rounds or Matt (who thinks he is Justin Timberlake)

Things I liked and disliked about last night's AI

Liked Paula's Dress

Disliked how only 2 judges commented on each song

Liked Adam's Performance

Disliked Matt's Performance

Liked that I figured out how I could record AI and not have to search for it on the internet

Disliked how Danny didn't have his glasses on...he was squinting the whole time...he makes glasses cool!

And the Performance of the night is...............



I mean did you really think I was going to choose anyone else??

Ok if I have to pick someone besides Danny I would say....



ANOOP!! He did so good last night! And I love the song!

Tonight we say goodbye to Lil Rounds or Matt...I will be back tomorrow to see if I am right!

Praise the One who paid my debts and raised this life from the dead!!

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
Shall rend the vaulted skies.

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.

May you and I live this out all year long!! HE PAID IT ALL!!

Let Me Be Real

As I was talking to a friend last night about being real, I thought it is time to be real on my blog. Isn't that what blogs are for? To be real to record everything and anything we want because sometimes we are too afraid to say it out loud. But we think if we write it then people will read it and understand who we really are. THAT'S WHAT A BLOG IS SUPPOSED to be. So what I am trying to tell you is hey your blog is great you are a wonderful writer but you are not being real because I see how you act and I see what your priorities are. Since I am challenging you to be real I will do the same so here it goes.

I am Kristina Ann Plunkett. I am 23 years old. I live by myself and at times I love it at other times I get really lonely. During the lonely times I throw myself pity parties to try to make myself feel better. It usually doesn't work. I am pretty much as independent as they come but very insecure. I worry about what I look like, I wonder if I am ever going to get married...I hope I do because it is desire of mine...I don't have much patience in that area of my life. I don't necessary like to be the center of attention but I do like to be shown attention. I am a Christian, I am madly in love with Jesus, but there are many times throughout the days I don't even aknowledge him. I have a horrible prayer life and have been said that I am working on it for years honsetly I haven't. Prayer is hard for me to understand. I am not giving up on it because I have seen it work and believe it's real, but I am not going to say I am working on it until I am truely going to mean it. I don't like to let many people know my faults so typing all this is literally making me want to throw up. I am scaredy cat, not just at movies and freaky things, but of the future and what is going to happen to me and my friends and family. I miss a lot of people that have come into my life and then have left and I am horrible at staying in contact with them but it doesn't mean I don't think about them. I have struggles, I am not perfect, but I strive to be who I was made to be and that is me!

I challenge you to be real everywhere you go in everything you do! It's not easy and you will falter sometimes but we were never promised it would be easy!

Prom 2004

Tonight is prom and I thought I would reminisce my Senior Prom Night!
I never went to prom when I was in high school. But here was my prom night.

Theme: Best Friend Road Trip


Jenna and I decided it would be fun to have our own Senior Prom Trip so we went the weekend of Prom and had the best time ever! Here is our trip in pictures!





The Trip was made in the Toro












To Nashville, Tennessee where the pick up line "You must be from Tennessee because you are the only 10 I see!" originated!











We stayed at the Radisson which was right across the street from...






The Opryland Hotel which was right in front of...









Opry Mills Mall! It was the biggest mall we had ever seen it took us 2 days to get through and we went to the Mall everyday we were there!












That was our 2004 Prom Weekend! We even got to skip the Monday after Prom so we could enjoy Nashville a little longer!! Hope everyone enjoys their prom tonight! I know I enjoyed mine!
