uninspired...

i noticed while reading a friends blog that it had been awhile since i have updated my own! i'd like to say it is because i'm busy, but i think it has more to do with being uninspired. or feeling like i don't really have anything funny or wise to share. but here are some snippets of things i've been pondering lately.....

...my grandparents celebrated 70 years of marriage on monday! what will hubby and i look like after 70 years??? he'll be 100! wowzers...but if we make it that long in life i believe we will be happily in love still!

...how does one's head fill up overnight with incredible amounts of gunk?? where does that all come from?

...i learned that my esophagus muscles might be working against each other. that is why i've had this hard to describe bubble type thingy off and on for over a month. hmm...a friend asked me if the good doc gave me exercises. nope - just a good drug!

...i have gotten super spoiled by hubby's buddy's 42 inch flat screen tv. i don't want him to take it back!!

...i'm a sucker for my sons sad eyes on superbowl night. but i was greatly impressed when he held to his end of the bargain.

...i, the one who loves snow and winter, is so ready for spring right now!! i can't stand this intense cold and so little snow.

...i look just like my niece - something that i really don't quite see, but hey, since she is 18 (for a few more weeks) i'll take it as an incredible compliment! maybe i'll get permission to put a photo up and you all can decide.

so...that is just a few of the things i've been thinking about. see....so little to inspire that great blog post!

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....
