Last Day of Vacation (Boo Hoo!!)

Today, it rained again (when didn't it rain this week). This is probably the single worst vacation week ever!! My inner Lizzie really wanted great weather so that I could go out and get around, but instead I was stuck inside alot of the week writing this blog. I didn't have much chance to talk to my friend because she was sick most of the week.

This week Hil's album slipped 5 (yes 5) spots down to #10 on Billboard's Hot 100. It was almost expected that Hil would drop eventually, just not this fast this soon! I guess it was a fluke being #1 for the couple of weeks that she was (the premiums that everyone gave away helped--I bought 3 copies--the first week). Now it looks like Hil is in freefall along with her single "So Yesterday". At least she still has 1 more week on TRL. Let's get her to #1!!


Today, I watched "Nick's Let's Just Play FInish Line Festival". This was the most painful 3½ hours of tv I have ever sat through. Basically, it was like one giant barbecue with special contests and musical performances by Clay Aiken and Hil. Hil's first appearance in the show came 2¼ into it. She sang her next single "Come Clean", not nearly as well as the Hawaii special version. Her next appearance happened about 55 minutes later (after watching a half-hour of Squarepants--more on that in a bit) when she sang "So Yesterday", again not as good as the Hawaii special but still very enjoyable. The entire 3½ hour show was basically a marathon of "Spongebob Squarepants" episodes with live events thrown in every once in a while. It doesn't seem that Hil put everything into her performance after all she probably doesn't want to get tired out for her plane trip to London. In fact, at this time she is probably at the airport getting ready to board for her flight. Sadly, the U.S. will lose her for about 3 weeks and I'll miss her and I will think about her everyday and hope she stays safe!! Hopefully, she will keep her word of keeping us posted on her travels!! Good Luck, Hil..Luv Ya FOREVER!!
