American Idol...who will go home?

Okay, last night I was really looking forward to watching American Idol.
I Love Love Love Stevie Wonder and couldn't wait to see the idols perform
his songs. I was kinda dissapointed. Some of the performances that I think
were NOT good were:
Ace, Kevin, and Kellie. I think the person going home tonight should be Kevin.
Kellie, gets on my nerves with the dumb things that comes out of her mouth. Yes,
she's cute, yes she can sing, but she says the stupidest things and thinks it's
so cute to be dumb!!!! It drives me insane!!!

Ace, I just doin't get the hype about him. I'm not diggin' the look, he reminds me of someone out of the Color Me Badd group that was popular back in the 90210 days. I'm hoping he goes home soon too.

So far I think Chris is going to win this year's Idol. He's different from the other idols. With the top four being Chris, Katherine, Taylor and maybe Paris...

I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens tonight.....

New Recipes....

Okay, do you ever feel like you make the SAME OLD THING for dinner? I knew this was coming, just didn't have the energy to start learning to cook some new stuff. I've been so busy with baseball season starting, and being sick that I've just been making whatever I can throw together for dinner in 20 mins or less for the past few weeks. I took the hint last night when my husband said...uh...I'm gonna go pick something up to eat, after I told him what we're having (which was basically leftovers of leftovers).

So I decide to pour over my several hundred cookbooks and find some new recipes to try and hopefully add to my list of things I can make for dinner.

Tonight is crockpot ribs over rice (which by the way if the dinner doesn't have rice, my husband probably won't want it, he's filipino and seems to require rice with atleast 1-2 meals per day!!!) =0)

It was a fairly simple recipe, and the fact that it's made in a crockpot scores points with me cause I love using my crockpot and smellin' what's cookin for dinner all day! =0)

Tomorrow I'm making Garlic Shrimp Linguine, some caesar salad and garlic break.
I think Thursday we'll have teriyaki chicken with pineapple fried rice (I've been wanting to try the recipe on the back of the mahatma jasmine rice bag for a while now), I'm going to "attempt" to make fried chicken sometime this weekend, I am scared of frying things in oil but I'm a give it a shot. =0)

Anyone wanna send some recipes (that are yummy and easy) my way....feel free!!!

Okay I'm off to baseball practice now....b-bye!

Can you guess how my day is going?????

I HATE BEING SICK!!!!!!!! My son got sick after his birthday parties, then my husband got a cold, and after taking care of both of them, I am now sick with
Bronchitis, Laryngitis, a head cold, you name it, I GOT IT!!!!!!!!

I'm so bummed, I had a crab feed I was going to at church tomorrow night that I
already spent 40 bucks on the ticket and can't go now. (I would go anyways cause
I heart crab that much, but I'm pretty sure my friends don't want my germy hands
in their crab buckets getting them all sick!).

Hopefully if I rest, and take some of these medicines, I'll get better soon.
Wish me luck!!~!!!

My baby turns 11!!!!!!!!

I can't believe my baby is 11 years old already! Where did the time go?



I am still recovering from the 3 celebrations we had for his birthday this past week.
We went out to dinner on his actual bday last Wednesday, has a sleepover "movie night" with 6 5th graders on Saturday and another birthday party the following day with about 60 people!!!!! The party went well. Everyone had a good time and my house actually stayed pretty clean which is great! =0)

Here's the kids showing off their chocolate chip pancakes I made them the morning after the sleepover:
