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!

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...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
