unusual obsession

last night was a typical thursday night around here. okay, not really. it started with the dishwasher. most of you know i like dishwashers, but the one we have doesn't dispense soap. i guess that makes it kinda worthless. i've complained, yes i admit it, that if i can't use it i'd rather put a cabinet in. hubby said that would cost more than a new dishwasher. but we have never bought one because of choosing to spend our money elsewhere. frankly, i can always wash dishes. well, my parents are gutting their kitchen and offered us theirs!! woo hoo!!! so everyone said this was simple. hmmm..nothing is ever simple inside our back door. the dishwasher was attached to our countertop. but good thing - we had a new counter top put in last week. that girl should slide right out!! nope....they built the floor up over the bottom. so it still sits in it's spot and my working one sits in our barn. oh well...fix dinner and move on!

dinner fixed, homework done, now on to pumpkin carving. rather uneventful and pleasant. now on to bedtime....ah...peace and actually after a long discussion with princess about expectations and priviledgesm a rather quick process last night. then it was couch time!! my favorite part of the day....it is thursday which means we are kinda tv junkies. first survivor and then the office...

then it was work time again. this is when i put away the clean, dry dishes and pack lunches for the next day. hubby was flipping through the channels - most likely looking for the news when i hear this:

hubby: "honey, your boyfriend is on tv?"

me: "what"

hubby: "isn't this daughtry?"

me: quickly walking into the room "why yes, it is! wow!"

so for the next hour i sat and watched my obsession perform in a live concert. well, obviously it was recorded live and i'm watching the recording....but it was an hour long event! he sang all the great songs and a few new ones i loved. he was still just as good as ever. still totally in love with his wife - yes, i can tell those things from watching him sing. and it was fun. while i watched, hubby slept with remote in hand! when it was over, i gave him a kiss and told him it was time for bed!!

it is a rare thing for me to stay up late. usually hubby gets involved in some history show on pbs and i sleep on the couch...but last night pbs was all mine and i have a renewed interest in that station - they played daughtry!!!!!

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 ...
