ibc, beads, and weddings

interesting combination huh? but that pretty much sums up my thursday evening. i might have mentioned needing some girl time. i might have mentioned i was getting some last thursday night!! well, i did and i had a blast and i can't wait for another girls night.

it started with trying to help dear friend get rid of her beads. she likes to get rid of things so once she opens stuff up she obsesses about how to finish using it. well, a year ago or so she got way into beading, but realizing she had made bracelets for any and every female she knows she was desparately trying to part with her bead collection. after about an hour of just gazing at them and trying to figure some of her things out, i started making lovely earrings. because we are geeky i made us a matching set. then dear friend got pretty excited when she learned i had 3 holes in one ear and 2 in the other and went a little nuts making me some more beautiful earrings. then i had to put them all in......i was a sight to behold that's for sure!!!

then we broke out the ibc diet root beer. we decided to live on the wild side and drink it out of the bottles. she said it makes her feel naughty and well....that was what we were going for:)

then of course what is a girls night without a chickflick...so we picked out the wedding planner and laughed and cried and yelled at the guy and loved every moment of it. we talked about how wonderful our hubbies are....

about 11:45 i decided to head home. i think i had laughed myself silly and enjoyed being all me - geeky, silly, naughty...you name it!!!

so thanks dear friend for a great night...

and i apologize to all in blogger land because i was supposed to wear my matching earrings to church today and totally forgot. i showed them to hubby after church. he seemed very surprised to know i had so many holes. i'm not sure how he didn't know, but i had probably stopped wearing earrings in all of them by the time we met and just never thought to tell him. i asked if it would have changed anything and he just looked at me like i was a freak. it is just holes in my ear!!!!

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....
