thoughts.

i stayed home from church tonight to watch american idol. and yes, i am aware that a lot people who watched A.I when it first aired now think it is lame... but in my defense, this is only my second year. and i'm addicted.

my name is misty and i am addicted to american idol.

it consumes 3 out of my 4 weeknights (i don't count fri as a weeknight cause it eases me into the weekend) and that almost isn't enough. ha. i picked my fav a month or so ago & her name is brooke. she's great.

so, anyways... i was going somewhere with this! crap.



oh, yes. so... i stayed home & watched that & grant had to be at church. he ended up going over to some friends' house after church to watch lost (gag me). i said a firm 'no, thanks' & went about my business. the plan was to be in bed my 1030.

that didn't happen.

i popped in my new workout video & made an executive decision that it was too advanced for my tender bod & shot that sucka off. i then decided i was going to have a burnt cookie (more on these later) & read in bed.

for our wedding, we received a handful of books & one of my fav is two-sided. on one side, it is 'the most important year in a woman's life' and on the other side it is 'the most important year in a man's life'. i read it for the first time shortly after we were married & all i could remember was how practical it was & tonight, i decided to re-read it. i love doing that. i always underline, highlight, etc when i read so if i am going through a book for the second time, i can see what stood out to me the first time & such. granted, i have some books that i have been through a dozen times so there is no way of keeping track, but still.

so, i read a little. as i was reading, i began thinking about grant and how much i miss the quality time. yeah, we can hang out at home in the living room every night of the week, but that doesn't mean we are encouraging each other and strengthening our marriage. ya follow? yeah. so... i was reading & then i heard the door slam into our patio. i quickly shut off the lamp, plugged my phone in & pretended like i was sleeping. he came in to wake me to let me know that he was home & all i wanted to do was scare the jesus out of him. that didn't happen cause i didn't know how funny he would think that was... but i did lay there and act like i had just woken and asked him to scratch my back.

ha. the joys of being married.


so, my cookies. you know the sugar cookies that have a little design on them for every holiday? well, right now they have 4 leaf clovers on them. i was jonezin h.c. so i got some tonight at publix. we might be having people over tom night so i thought it might be nice to bake them & have em ready.

yeah, that didn't happen. i burned them. twice.

laaame. so, come and get em. burnt 4-leaf sugar cookies.





and yes, it is 1:23. i'm freakin crazy right now.
