Hey “Office” Fans! UPDATED

Tonight’s the night…Jim and Pam are getting married! Why do I feel like I know these people? And could I BE any happier that it’s an hour-long episode?
Anyway, in celebration, here is one of my favorite clips of all time from the show (which is included in this week’s promo for the episode), [...]

Fall TV…What Are You Watching?

OK, I LOVED the first episode of Glee…and liked the second one, but not as much as the first. The characters are SO over the top in many circumstances that I’m afraid I’m going to tire of it…but I’ll probably just keep watching because of the music! Reasons I loved week one:
1. In [...]

Some Thoughts on Marriage

Like millions of other Americans, I tuned in to the “Jon & Kate + 8″ season premiere on Monday night.  It’s a show that I’ve watched here and there over the last few years, but not one that I catch every week, nor do I care to.  I live in my own circus, thankyouverymuch.
And over [...]

WFMW: Food at the Ballgame

Several times a summer, we take one or more of the boys to a Cardinals baseball game, and in a few days, we’ll be going again.  We all love being at the ballpark.  And the game is only a small part of the attraction…the food gets the rest of my the boys’ attention.  They’re always [...]

Music for Monday Morning

Kelli, you can avert your eyes now hee hee. But you’ll be missing a great song!
I am LOVING the new (not brand-new, but still his newest release) Brad Paisley song “Then.” I’m very picky about country songs/artists and what I like – but this song makes the cut. Plus, I [...]

Even I Can Admit…

…that Adam was pretty amazing tonight on Idol. Loved his look, loved his song (truly, I love that song), and for most of the song, his voice sounded incredible. This is seriously the first time I’ve been able to see his potential to make it based on his voice, not just on his [...]

It’s Your Life

Sorry to be so music-heavy the last few days, but I’ve got another new favorite song (courtesy of my favorite show, “The Biggest Loser” – I’m totally rooting for Mike to win!) that I have to share with you!
The artist’s name is Francesca Battistelli, and if you listen to contemporary Christian music at all, you’ve [...]

My Boy

Bennett has been sick since Saturday around noon, when he excused himself from the lunch table and promptly put himself in bed for a 3 hour nap (all while I was away at my conference).  This is unprecedented, so Matt knew something was wrong.  We’ve had up and down times, but for the last two [...]

Big Twist?

American Idol judges have promised that there will be a “big twist” tonight in the reveal…any ideas as to what it could be? I’m thinking that maybe there’s a bottom three and then the judges decide who stays/goes? I have no clue…
Paula is just absolutely ridiculous all the time…her weird dancing, and gushing, [...]

Online Shopping, New Recipes, and The Bachelor.

I did a little online shopping this afternoon and found some great things on clearance at Kohls – specifically some sports gear for Luke. There were Illini football jerseys for about $15 and a Cardinals hooded sweatshirt for about the same. There are tons of teams available – if you’ve got a little [...]
