a big woo hoo!!

last night about about 9:57 our time i couldn't wait to get on and blog. hubby shot me a look of, "it's bedtime!" so here i am after supper the following day doing a blog that has lost a little of it's pizazz, but since i'm still quite buzzed here goes...

DAVID COOK!!!!!! he won!! i watched the whole show preparing myself for the end. i just have to say i was so impressed with simon's very sincere and much needed apology to mr. cook. dear friend commented yesterday that it seemed like cook had changed. that he was more contemplative. i can only assume when you are 26 and watching your brother slowly die that you would get that way. but kudos to him!!! i just read like i was saying's blog. she asked if anyone else wondered if cook was trying to throw the competition and i confess i did wonder. i think he would have been happy either way, honestly. i too wonder if he wanted some freedom to spend time with his brother that winning wouldn't allow. who knows...

but here are some of my thoughts on the big finale:

1. the old musicians - they really should be done. donna summers just looked, well old and george michael, although a huge fan in my teens, seemed a little more, well weird.

2. carrie - clearly one of the most successful idols ever. i love that girl, but thought the dress was, well a little too short.

3. i loved that they gave jason a chance to sing one of his better songs - i really liked him. and brooke - i was glad to see her doing what she does well, but would have loved to heard let it be.

4. can i just say how cool it was to see cook bring archie up and somewhat share the moment!!!!

5. okay, like i was saying stole this one from me. well, since she posted first she wins but it was in my head - i promise... the commercial! there is nothing like that scene with tom cruise. when cook did his i was a little surprised, but loved it. he pulled it off well. but archie - the boxers just aren't the same and he seemed a little bit uncomfortable.

6. i loved the zz top/cook song, liked the archie/band i don't know but looked cool song. the jonas brothers - i've heard of them but never seen them. is that what boy bands of today are like? that is nothing like the new kids on the block. i'm a total 80's junkie!!!!

7. can i just say brian adams...again, total 80's junkie!!!

8. i was way too obsessed this year, disappointed they didn't shock us all with the return of daughtery to the stage, and abundantly thrilled that cook won...

oh...january 2009 can't come soon enough:)

This was still pizzazz-y! I loved the ZZ Top number, Bryan Adams is still amazing, and George Michaels (while still sounding great?) creeped me out too. I didn't even blog about it, just been buzzing around commenting on everyone else's between crafting bulletin announcements and making dinner and running laundry! But yeah, justice was done here my friend. Justice was done.

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

a celebration of me

i have this weird mix of emotions when it comes to celebrating me.  i don't particularly love to be celebrated publicly, but on my birthday and mother's day i can't be celebrated enough.  i know.  it's strange.  and probably wrong.  but it is what it is. as we turned the page to 2020 i set a few intentions.  my word for the year is reset and there were areas i new needed a fresh start.  as i prayed through those God made it clear i needed to learn to process and deal with disappointment.  i have experienced a lot of that, and for some reason, when i'm disappointed it sinks deep into my roots where i begin to believe i'm the sole cause.  i'm the sole reason. i alone am to blame. so i've been trying to grapple through those disappointments; trying to name them, confess them and process them for what they are and not just see them as a reflection of me.  a certain area of disappointment had created this long list of things i believed to be true of me.
