idol thoughts

i am an idol junkie! i love idol for some reason. last night we put the kids to bed and enjoyed a romantic dinner of baked mosticolli in front of the fireplace, and of course, idol. it was their big give back show. i was just kind of impressed. i found myself thinking several thoughts all in different directions

1. do all of these celebrities really care?? we decided bono definitely does and for the most part so do the rest. i was watching reese witherspoon interview a family and how they don't have a home or something like that and i thought why doesn't she just buy them a decent home? i do think most of them care and i genuinely feel for the people they interviewed - i don't mean this in a cynical sort of way.

2. how do you break the cycle? there are so many families hurting and it just pours over to the next generation. how do we end it???? is there anything we can do to turn the trend around?

3. who are these celebrities? i have to confess i didn't know half of the people they had last night.

4. i'm heart broke about these things....or am i??? while at times my heart was tugged - especially when it involved kids in africa, but i was challenged to think about if my heart really did break over them. and if it did - would i respond??? that is a definite thing for me to be praying about. if i ask God to break my heart, because i know His does, will i obey what He tells me. that definitely leaves me pondering

5. how on earth could they keep building up daughtery being on the show and then not even have him live?!??? i mean come on - that is really what drove me to watch the entire show. the producers were smart with that. it kept me and i'm sure a few others watching and waiting. it was still good - but i confess i wanted to see him live.

6. i don't get the end!!! i was sure it wasn't reality at that time, but there they were singing shout to the Lord!! my christian ears popped open and i studied the faces of each singer. are they a christian? hmm..he has his eyes closed. did she just raise her hand? are they just performing or are they worshiping? i did notice the name of Jesus was omitted. did they just try to say to us christians - we know we have had a few interesting characters tonight, but hey, we really do want to please you too! who knows...it was an odd choice in my mind.

7. who on earth will go home tonight?? i'm tired of sayesha, but brooke has been losing her style. jason...well, he was perfect to me this week. carly seemed so angry for it being inspirational night and i never figured out david a's sleeping with an angel song. david cook - its a good thing i have liked him every other time. kristy lee - she was great in my mind this week. so it is up for grabs, but i'm calling syesha.

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...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
