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...

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....

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...
