Final Five AI

Neil Diamond.  Now, if the contestants can't do something with all his material, then they definitely have no biz being on the show.

Jason: Forever in Blue Jeans.  Boy, was  this right up his alley.  I thought he looked more comfortable and happy than he has in a while.

David Cook: I'm Alive.  He was good, but this wasn't a great performance for me. Dawg.

Brooke: I'm A Believer - Terrible.  Hard to listen to.  Wrong voice, wrong personality.  Yuck.

Baby David: Sweet Caroline.  When he first started out, I was actually worried for a minute. . . but he 'caught up' and sounded good; he just didn't 'wow' me  :(   . 

Syesha: Hello Again.  Just when I was thinking about how pretty she looked and how decent she sounded, those RIDICULOUS hands were all up in her face - the camera angle was purposeful.  They MUST want to annoy, aggravate and antagonize.  I don't know what more we can say to get the producers to CUT THAT OUT.  Literally.

Ryan asked for a brief review from the judges before the second set of songs.  We didn't get to see whatever Paula was smoking, but we knew she was because she was talking about Jason's first song, compared to his second song. . .   Simon and Randy rescued her as Simon went on to declare all the performances mediocre.

Jason: September Morn.  Again, it was just Jason.  At least he didn't have an instrument, and he stood up and sang; that was as different as he got.

David Cook:  All I Really Need is You.  Not really wowing me with this one either.  Judges LOVED it.  Stoned Paula said she felt like she was looking at the next American Idol.  Both of them.

Brooke:  interview before song two - disagreed with Simon calling the first performance a nightmare;  "No".  She had fun with it.  Too bad we didn't have fun listening to it.  

Sang a revised (Arizona for New York) version of  I Am...I Said.  Her talking- back-disagreeing-self sounded really good on this song.

Baby David:  America.  This was the Baby David that I LOVE.  Makes me pay attention.  What a sweetie, what a VOICE.

Syesha: Thank The Lord for the Nighttime.  She's fun to watch;  I don't think she has the best voice, but she seems to enjoy performing more than any of the others.  Easy to imagine her in a musical.

I'd say Brooke was next up for elimination, but after she survived last week, who knows?  Next person in trouble - Syesha - because she seems to be in the wrong venue.  Jason wasn't strong tonight, but he's gonna be okay no matter what happens;  he'll sell 'albums' because of his Jack Johnsonism.  Likeable.  Fun, 'easy' listening.

If I write it down

I've created a simple menu plan for this week, and I'm joining others who link theirs through organizing junkie.

I'm going to start tallying the cost of individual meals, but right now I'm using as much of the food I have on hand as possible, so I won't be able to at first.

I can tell you the value of Monday night's dinner:  priceless.  It's free to us because it is a homemade chicken pot pie from the neighbors across-the-street.   Occasion:  I loaned them some celery previously.

 If you've read mine or my daughter's blog for long, you know that we have ridiculously great neighbors.  ( One of those neighbors, Sharon, hasn't been posted about in a while here, but not because she's been lazy (as if), or because I've been disinterested.  No, it's because she decided to create her own blog!  This is a super idea, except for the part that a blog doesn't write itself. . . . . .   if she doesn't start writing soon, she understands that I have first dibs on her life stories).

Anyway, back to the food:

Monday:  Chicken Pot Pie

Tuesday:  Black-eyed Peas, Cornbread, Onion

Wednesday:  Spaghetti

Thursday:  Mexican Chicken Lasagna

Friday:  Pizza

This will help me stay on track for the week.  Muddy mentioned a problem planning a meal but then not being in the mood for it.  I fall into that trap just buying the random makings for meals, but then forgetting about it or not being in the mood to cook a particular something.  So, a menu plan means less wasted food in my case.

Here goes!

Eating or thinking about it

Been keeping up with food prices and trying to pay better attention to how much a particular meal costs us.

The other night we had a really delicious and filling dinner for four for under $14.00.  Now, I know this isn't anywhere in the range of the people eating for $1.00 a meal, but this was more substantial than just a veggie plate or such - which I like, but this pleased the guys too.  AND, we had enough left over for dinner last night for Christopher and me.

Better yet, it was a crockpot recipe!  Woo-hoo!!  

The cookbook called it Royal Roundsteak, but it is a close kin to beef stroganoff.  I bought (ON SALE) stew meat cubes, 1.63 lbs for $4.71.  The best part:  I had everything else on hand.  Dry onion soup mix, two cans cream of mushroom soup, 1 - 2 tbsp oil, and egg noodles. (I used organic mushroom soup, and 'name-brand' noodles;  I'm guessing you could make this meal for $10 ish with less expensive ingredients).

Heat the oil and brown the meat, then everything into the pot for 6 - 7 hours (high).  Serve over noodles or rice.  

Yummy!!  We served this main course with cut Italian green beans.   The meal went a long way (seconds) that night, and again, we had leftovers.  

This is progress for me - even just the part of keeping track of costs.  (And comparing it to going to Red Robin instead. . . )

Then today:  Target had whole organic chickens on sale for 1.79 lb.  This is a good deal for organic, so I bought four birds, and one is in the crockpot right now.   A favored meal around here is poppyseed chicken, so I'm going to have plenty of the chicken on hand, and buy the sour cream when it's on sale or I have a coupon.

I'm still reading all the "frugal" blogs and I hope to have more and more success stories and tips of my own.  Bear with me. . .

AI Elimination Show Blow-by-Blow

8pm.

We open with the obligatory group song, accompanied by Andrew Lloyd on the piano.  

Three guys, three girls, and the ubiquitous waving arms.  Does someone pay them to do that?  Because who, over ten years old,  would keep doing that of their own volition?

ALW defended Brooke's mess up last night, and reiterated how surprised he was that Jason chose to sing Memories and how he didn't follow his advice.

AI Ford commercial.

President Bush and first-lady Laura thanked viewers for donating during Idol Gives Back. 

Bottom two stools - not three!

First:  the Davids.  Both safe.

Visiting old idols - now starring on Broadway:  Tamyra Gray (season one) is in Rent, Clay Aiken (season two) is in Spamalot.

Leona Lewis, one of Simon's 'discoveries' from England, sang Bleeding Love.

Syesha and Brooke.  The shocker:  Brooke is SAFE.  Syesha goes to one of the dreaded stools.  This is  backwards.

Carly  (sleeveless, of course) and Jason.  Jason is SAFE!  Carly joins Syesha.  Well, come on, Jason is soooooooo likeable.  

Ryan said the bottom two would remind us of their performances, so they each sang again.

8:56 pm.  Carly is GOING HOME.  Taking the tattoo with her.  Song choice baby, song choice.

American Idol Top Six

Wasn't too excited about it being Broadway night (Andrew Lloyd Webber), because I knew there would be some obscure music I'd never heard of.  Yes, yes, that tells you all how uncultured and unsophisticated I am.  Just can't seem to squeeze in the time for opera.

Syesha started out with the first unknown song, but at least her performance was energetic and fun.  She showed some personality, but I didn't think it was her best vocals (don't I sound like I know something).  I still don't connect with her;  it was good, but too little too late.

Jason at least chose a song most people would be familiar with: Memories.  The best thing about his segment was the session with ALW; ALW didn't think he'd ever see a man in dreadlocks singing that song, and Jason was surprised to find out that it was sung by a cat.

Brooke forgot the lyrics to her song from 'Evita',  and had to start over.  At least she tried to follow ALW's advice to sing as if she understood or meant the words, unlike when she sang the Dolly Parton song.  The most positive thing I can say about her is that at least she didn't talk back the whole time the judges were commenting.

Baby David has the voice to keep me interested in a song I'd never heard.  Very glad that ALW gave him the advice to 'keep his eyes open' ;  he doesn't need to improve his singing, just his performance and appearance.

Carly looked better than I've ever seen her, and her voice and performance were great;  she sang Superstar ... my dilemma - it was the perfect song for her, she did an incredible job, but out of context,  the song makes me uncomfortable.

David Cook sang another unfamiliar song, but again, his voice held my attention.  I really liked seeing that he could do something other than 'rock'.

Ranking top to bottom: Baby David, D.C., Carly, Jason, Syesha, Brooke.  I'm still thrown off by Michael Johns absence.

Predict that Jason or Brooke will get voted off.

Expelled

Yesterday, I took the kids to see the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

Ben Stein isn't a biblical creationist, but he does a great job exposing how radical evolutionists persecute people who don't accept evolution. "The movie also exposes the scientific problems with Darwinian evolution and the ruthlessness of its defenders."

We even recognized a scene in the movie! They showed protesters with signs saying things like "you evolved, but not nearly enough" that had picketed the Creation Museum in Kentucky.  We had attended the grand opening of the Creation Museum last May (awesome);  we didn't see these protesters, but we knew the protest was going on.  (So, now speaking of the Creation Museum, it was a great trip.  The entire area - Cincinnati, Newport, Petersburg - offered great, inexpensive outings for the family in addition to the Museum, which we spent an entire day enjoying).  

It was an excellent documentary, and we all liked it, even though some of the things said and believed were so sad and disheartening.  Of course we know there are people out there that don't believe in God, but to hear some of these "intellectuals" ridicule religion and faith the way they do was difficult.  But, overall, this movie is a positive - in part just because it was made in the first place!

I'm So Excited

Love using these song titles. . .

I have gotten so MUCH useful information in response to my last post. I thank everyone for the help.

I am 100% confident that I am going to achieve some level of success cutting down, not only my grocery bill, but also the cost of toiletries and little household items. One link has let to another; I have printed menu plans, recipes, and great coupons.

I was beside myself when I visited the websites of my organic brands (thanks Trina), and found good (worthwhile!) coupons for the actual products I buy.

I got a great 7-day menu plan from cleaneating (thanks Lisa); and I am seriously considering the grocerygame - especially now that I know Lori uses it!

I'm also heading back to Wild Oats / Whole Foods, per Jessica, after I check their weekly sales out on the website.

Now I have to plow through my new "paperwork" of sales circulars and recipes and menu plans, and finish my shopping list and make this happen.

Rest assured that I'll share my own tips and ideas once I see results for myself. Because I'm telling everybody, if I can do it, anybody can.

Now, not to start another subject, but I have to say congrats to MattBabb who won the "Losing Big Sensibly" contest at his workplace. He lost more than 40 pounds since January!

And, not to start yet another subject, but I'm sharing one of the reasons I tend to get distracted from my cheaper-groceries-quest. . . . :

What A Girl Wants

I want someone to make a menu plan for me. For the next month. With a shopping list.

I don't want to spend more than $500 on groceries, and I want the food to be nutritious and low-calorie. Oh, and, I want most of it to be organic. Oh, and, I want lunches included.

(I can handle breakfast - oatmeal, eggs, toast, waffles; that's the easiest meal. I'm not so picky in the mornings when I'm hungry. But this food would be part of the $500).

I want the smart stuff that the smart people do: like saving the chicken broth from one night to use the next night, etc.

I keep reading these blogs where women are feeding families of six on $100 a month - or something just as crazy. I know they clip coupons . . . . but I don't get coupons for the things I buy. I don't have coupons for organic milk or Kashi cereal or Van's waffles or bananas or organic soup or organic meat, etc. I find coupons I can use, but that is almost always me buying something I would NOT have gotten, but do, just because I have a coupon. (I'm a marketer's dream shopper).

Alot of these super moms live near a CVS (?); I don't. I do have Aldi, but that doesn't fill the organic requirement. Also, I don't have an extra refridgerator or freezer, so I can't really stock up on certain items.

I know - I have all these 'challenges' - that's why I don't expect to be able to spend just $200 - $300 a month; I'd be thrilled to "just" spend $500.

I'm specifically hoping that Trina will get me on the right path (she feeds four for $49 week), but I would like advice from anyone - and EVEN BETTER, like I mentioned, I'd like someone to do all the work FOR ME. . .

Anyone??

Fashion Fiesta!

This is one of the greatest "linky posts" that I've ever seen: BigMama is hosting this Fashion Fiesta and we get to see inside dozens of strangers' closets! How FUN!

Everyone's sharing some of the clothes we have, or want, or maybe - want to get rid of. . .

My summer wardrobe will revolve around long shorts and t-shirts.

Here are two of my favorite tees because I love Smallville and I hate High Fructose Corn Syrup:

Sometimes I need to wear my favorite parenting scripture on a pink t-shirt:

front

back

(2 Kings 2:23-25)

And sometimes cute bunnies on a 'hoodie' t-shirt from Target is just what the day calls for.

I want to start wearing skirts more casually, but I'm gonna have to get Jessica to make me some, since I can't afford the ones I want from Boden.

At night - if I have anywhere special to go after dark...... I might wear this shirt from White House Black Market with some jeans. It is super lightweight, sheer, and comfy, but not see-through like it looks in this pic.





Other preferred items usually in my closet are some Nick and Nora pajamas, but I'm not getting them out of dirty clothes basket to photograph. . . I'll do alot of things that surprise me for the sake of blogging, but not that. : )

One item that I wear everyday, with everything, is this necklace from Tiffany's (I got it on eBay). Obviously I love it.

Shoes for the summer are most likely crocs

but might be flip-flops or sandals

"Dressy" shoes! I love these, but I want some wedge shoes, too.

If I could get any new clothes I wanted, they'd be from Boden Boden Boden, or White House Black Market. Otherwise, I rely on the cute things I find at Old Navy or Target.

American Idol Shocker

I just have no words. Very reminiscent of when Chris Daughtry got voted off, Season 5.

I believe Michael Johns was just as shocked as the viewers; he wasn't on any of the bottom three lists that I knew of. It makes so very little sense.

Sigh.

Mud is Just Fun Spelled Backwards

These pictures are not for the faint-of-heart, or for, should I say, wimps.

They would make hubby / Grandpa have chest pains, and they will likely cause some mild alarm to Susan. Fortunately, Grandpa wasn't home, (and doesn't do blogs), and Susan will reserve judgement until all the facts are in. . . Jessica will certainly file a formal complaint.

We didn't intend for Charlotte to go outside into the muddy, neglected backyard. I was out there tending to the ficus trees, and she insisted that Mary bring her out there. (Being outside is her VERY Favorite thing in the World).

Of course, Mary got distracted, Charlotte headed right for the freshest, wettest mud, and well, once she had dirt on her shoes and the bottom of her pants, she might as well stay and play, right?

Her shoes and socks were caked with mud, her shirt hem had splotches of dirt, but the muddiness was best represented on her pale blue pants. And, boy, did she scream when we were ready to go inside and be clean again: boring!! She soon calmed down with some Veggie Tales and Cheddar Bunnies, then just went about her business of taking care of her baby doll.

Spray 'n Wash !!!

AI

American Idol last night.

Michael - I don't think it was his best performance, but I also don't think he has any really bad ones.  

Syesha - she just bores me.  I don't think she gets what this contest is all about.

Jason - really;  I've said it before:  he gets to be the "same old thing", but I like him.  I can easily imagine buying his recordings.

Kristy Lee - her attitude was starting to annoy me last week, but I actually like her.  She looks like a country star.  It's very easy to picture her in a music video.  I don't really know why she's struggled so much in this competition.

David Cook - his music is not my style.  I understood very few of the words of the song he sang, but I think he is very talented; a great entertainer.  I look forward to and enjoy seeing his performances, even though I doubt I'd ever download his songs.

Carly - there are just so many "off" things about her, in spite of her great voice.  Someone mentioned that she always looks angry when she sings, and I agree.

Baby David - love him;  the song was okay.  He looked very tired and overwhelmed  : (

Brooke - boring.  I really liked her at the beginning, something has made me disenchanted with her, and I think it has been her yakking back at Simon.

Speaking of yakking at Simon, so many of these contestants have started talking back and having conversations with the judges!  That has usually been a big no-no in the past, and landed them in the bottom three or voted off completely.  

My favorite is and will continue to be Baby David, but I'd be surprised if he wins top spot this season.  It'll probably be David Cook.

Bottom three:  Carly, Syesha, Brooke.

Back to the Beginning

I don't feel like I got very much done yesterday; Mondays always feel like "wasted" days for me. The kids had Spanish, I did an obligatory load of laundry, went to Kroger . . . not that much.

Today we had Charlotte, AND Mary had an orthodontist appointment, AND I had to take her to deliver Avon, AND we took Charlotte to the park, AND I had to go to Target, AND we had to meet Susan and Jessica because Mary is spending the night with them, AND I did the obligatory load of laundry.

But in the afternoon, the BIGGIE: Hubby and son actually drug our sticky, dusty ficus trees (my very first post describes them) outside to the backyard deck. It is supposed to storm tonight and/or tomorrow, and I am soooooo hoping that they will be permanently cleaned off. And, if not permanently, then at least for a few months. The atrium looks very different and empty without the trees, but it is giving me a chance to really clean the "sticky" up without them in the way, and constantly producing more messes. I've been wiping and mopping and re-organizing, and plan to get so much more done tomorrow.

I took a break for American Idol and some hot tea. A little blogging, and good night!

Unfair!

I've posted previously about my need and efforts to eat less and exercise.  It's the only thing that works for me:  counting calories and working out.   But I hate it!!

I hate it even more because MattBabb (yes, he is used to being called by his first and last name as if it is one word) is doing exactly that, and the pounds literally just drop off of him. 

 

He is dedicated, mind you, and he gets credit for amazing self-discipline and perseverance, but that is ALL.  Because apparently for men, if you do what you are 'supposed' to, you will be rewarded instantly, consistently,  and in a BIG way.

To lose weight, I cannot consume more than 1200 calories a day.  Well, MattBabb LOST more calories than that in his workout this morning!!  Please!!!

I could work out just as hard, and my online weight-loss system would say:  "Great job!  Good girl!  You burned 25 calories!  You can have an extra olive today!!  Keep up the good work!!  

MattBabb gets to eat a cheesecake by himself as a reward.  Where's the pain if your workouts guarantee that you can still eat whatever you want?

This does not inspire me.  This makes me want a bowl of ice cream.  NOW.

Secrets

This is Charlotte at the top of our hill / front yard, just before she took off at high speed toward the curb / street. (Let's go ahead and say that her access to concrete was blocked; Grandma photographer wasn't the only one watching her).  

This is NOT where she made it halfway down, legs like windmills, before she fell head first and slid part of the way down.  This is NOT where she looked surprised and confused that the Hill did that to her, and it's not where she just brushed the grass off her hands and started windmilling again.

This is her resting . . . and honestly, no prompting, but sssshhhhhhhing as if she agrees with my running commentary that her mom and dad would have a heart attack if they saw her.

And anyway, all's well that ends well, right?  Yeah!!

For Muddy

I've got something going here, with these 'personalized' posts.  My first, For Susan, was about my high score on Virusbuster / Dr. Mario.   Muddy stole my glory over that, because her high score was more than double mine and Susan's.  (But, Muddy, it didn't make me give up; I'm still trying, and I'm up to 1060 now!!)

Then, For Elana was inspired because her 'blogging tips' post was directed to me; at least that's what I believe since I failed to meet most of her 'good blogger' requirements.

And here's where Muddy comes in again, and makes me feel even more like a slacker, because she's a fantastic picture-takin'-video- compiling-daily-posting blogger.

But! Susan can't catch up to me on Dr. Mario, Elana is right, and Muddy has given me the reason for this post, by asking my thoughts on American Idol.   It's all good.

On this week's two nights specifically:  I enjoyed them because I really like Dolly Parton!  Also, there were at least 3 or maybe 4 songs that mentioned Jesus - refreshing, even if it wasn't "Christian" music, so to speak.

Now, that band that played:  ?????  The instruments were great, but that singer sounded terrible.  Then again, maybe it was the AI 'system' or something, because Dolly didn't sound completely like herself, either.

The contestants:  my faves are Baby David first, and then Michael Johns and David Cook are tied for second.  I think it really doesn't matter which of the three of them win;  they are going to have music careers.   

I like stinky-head Jason,  but he is just the same thing over and over.  ( I don't know if his head stinks, but you supposedly can't wash those dreadlocks, and when he did his outdoor interview, there were gnats flying around his head. . .)

I DID like Kristy Lee, but she has been too sassy lately.  And I used to like Brooke okay, but she now gets on my last nerve the way she talks over / interrupts / argues with Simon. And she didn't "get" the Jolene song  - she shouldn't have been smiling while she sang it.  She's also a bit too much of the same thing, like Jason.

I have NEVER been able to reconcile Carly's voice with her appearance.  I know I'm not the only person to say they have to close their eyes to enjoy her singing.   Her clothing is atrocious, her  grimaces are distracting, and she seems to wear nothing but sleeveless tops so that we can never get a break from her arm tattoo.  She has such a beautiful voice and sweet face; that tattoo confuses my brain.  It would have looked perfectly 'normal' on Amanda Overmyer, but. . .

Then there's Syesha.  I don't know what it is about her;  she's pretty and she has a great voice, but she does nothing for me.  She makes me understand what the judges mean when they say someone 'doesn't connect with the audience'.  

That's about it.  This season seems to going by quickly; and I'm not 'stressed' about any eliminations because I do think my favorites are going to be winners even if they are only runners-up.

For Elana

Bossy junior blogger Elana, aka sourpatch, has made some of us senior bloggers feel guilty after reading her blogging tips and helpful hints.

She's right, of course, and she's providing a valuable service, but still. . .

( Junior and senior are actually just euphemisms for young and 'old', because we started blogging about the same time. . . . I'm no more experienced than she).

NUMBER ONE: Post every day.  

Number 10 - post about anything.

So, Elana, this riveting Wednesday report is in your honor:

Today I got out of bed. . .

 I looked at all the Avon catalogs and literature because Mary was placing her order today.

I went over to Sharon's to proof-read a brochure she was working on for her church.

I took Mary to sewing class, then stopped and got gas on the way home.  $30ish for 10ish gallons!

Ate lunch after gathering papers and adding figures for our taxes:  had sardines in olive oil with some organic stoneground wheat and flaxseed crackers.  

Popped a peppermint in my mouth for the sake of everyone around me when I went to pick up Mary from sewing.

Home, tax guy, home, brain age, laundry, Sharon's again.

Dinner:  organic steak, skillet corn, and edamame.  I LOVE eating edamame because it is an event as well as delicious.  And I LOVE saying edda-mom-A.

I directed dinner but Christopher and Mary cooked.  They used our stovetop grill that we bought at the Subsidium Carousel of Shoppes last year, and the steak was great.

Watched Wheel of Fortune while I cleaned up the kitchen (since the kids cooked), then did this little bit of blogging.

Time to watch American Idol now and see who gets eliminated.

Tune in here tomorrow!  I'm going to be better about posting!
