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...

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 ...
