(Last year I TOTALLY liked Chris Daughtry and Bucky Covington.&amp;nbsp; My oldest &amp;#39;Chickie&amp;#39; (at the time 3) loved her some Bucky)&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The girls are doing awesome.&amp;nbsp; LaKisha and Melinda are the obvious frontrunners but I think that Jordin might just pull this one out.&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;What do you think?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;font face=&quot;comic sans ms,sand&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  </description><pubDate>Wed, 14 Mar 2007 14:55:02 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://julie.instantspot.com/blog/2007/03/14/Top-12</guid><category>American Idol</category></item><item><title>Hello....My Name is Julie</title><link>http://julie.instantspot.com/blog/2007/03/12/HelloMy-Name-is-Julie</link><description>&lt;p&gt;  So I&amp;#39;ve blogged on WEBlog, and Myspace.&amp;nbsp; Ok, so WEBlog was more of a commenting rather than an all out blogging.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m still a baby when it comes to this stuff.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m sure I&amp;#39;ll be adding new &amp;#39;cool&amp;#39; stuff to the page but bear with me as I take my first babysteps on this. &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  For those of you who haven&amp;#39;t met me yet.&amp;nbsp; My name is Julie.&amp;nbsp; I live and work in South Central Kansas.&amp;nbsp; I have a wonderful marvelous (what other glowing adjectives can I come up with) husband.&amp;nbsp; We&amp;#39;ve been together for 7 years now, married for 5.
