because you care....

my apologies to the few of you that i have kept waiting for so long...dear friend has been bugging me to blog. i think it might be because i was on her case...regardless, here goes....

image has been blurred to protect identity....and has
no meaning to this blog whatsoever!

...i'm cold! it is crazy cold on the home front. i'm bundled up and dug out my slippers. i've added the flannel sheets and have even dug out my hat. i realize i really need some new slippers and never did knit the hat to match my scarf. maybe i'll start tonight.

...we had popcorn earlier this week. it was yummy, but i popped in great abundance. so tonight i melted my white chocolate and added some craisins and peanuts to the popcorn and stirred it all together. super yummy and half the popcorn gone.

...hubby has a birthday this weekend. he is such and incredible husband, daddy, and man. i love him deeply and look forward to celebrating his life.

...we are approaching 11 years of amazing marriage!

...i let princess paint my nails last night. she did a different color on each hand. there is a lot of bare nail and painted skin. however, i have no more fingernail polish remover. i'm thinking of trying to just add the darker color and see how that looks. i have not painted my fingers in about 5 years!

...i looked for dresses today. i'm going to a wedding next weekend. i wanted a decent fall/winter dress. they must not make dresses anymore!

...i bought my daughter her first christmas present. we try to stick to 3 presents and then i like to give jammies on christmas eve. i'm tired of buying junk...i love this idea and might give it a try this year.

...princess told me she was in love tonight!!! umm.......thankfully it is only a love affair with strawberry milk!

...fall is my favorite time of the year!

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...

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....

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...
