caught

i'm an idol fan. big time idol fan. i was quite pumped for last nights show. we are a house divided, kind of. hubby thinks archie has a great voice; mature and smooth. and i agree on that, but i'm sold on cook. i like that raspy, draw me into your eyes thing. always have. plus i see it as justice for daughtery getting voted off.

but last night, while i was impressed with both, i had to turn to hubby and say, "i think archie will win." he grinned and said, "it's killing you isn't it?" i even came up with about 4 reasons that cook was throwing the competition. he just sighed.

both will do well, i have no doubt about that. but for me cook is still the winner. he is the performer. i loved watching him change from cocky to humble. i loved that he was true to himself each week and would change things up. and yes, i love the raspy voice.

archie, is cute and humble. he has a good voice, but i don't like to watch him. he reminds me of a chicken for some reason. although, last night, his first song was actually a good performance! i'm amazed at his talent for a young age, but i don't see him as a total star performer. but then again what do i know????

so, there you have it. i know you were all dying to hear what i thought of idol last night. while my vote still goes to cook, i call archie to win. it seems every teen in america wants to take him to prom!

I'm so with you every painful step of the way - Love DC, but I think pretty little shy boy is going to walk away with the crown. If he doesn't faint first. Personally, I don't think he's up to the challenge and doesn't deserve it the way Cook does - it's more effortless for him and that "aw shucks ma'am" thing is REALLY on my last nerve lately. This is actually the first season I've ever voted. I love DC's confidence (I never thought he was arrogant or cocky, just more experienced and seasoned than the others) and I love that he still gets choked up at the wonder of it all. I have a feeling I'm going to be going off to bed very sad and frustrated tonite, though. Let's commiserate together, shall we?!

And as usual, you said all this (that I'm basically repeating!) so much better than I - you are a great writer!

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

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

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
