It's Monday & I just blogged yesterday about LAST Monday, so I thought before we jump in headfirst to a new week, I'd recap last week. Tuesday we had to grocery shop after work. There's nothing I hate more than grocery shopping, well that's not true, I'd rather grocery shop that fold laundry, so I guess we'll say it's toward the top of my "things I'd rather not do" list. I NEVER grocery shop alone. Hubs is really good at it, kind of a natural and he kind of enjoys watching for sales, price checking things and guessing before the register calculates it, how much everything will be. I just go along for the ride. I'm curious to see how this sort of thing works for us once we have kids, I'm guessing hubs will just do the grocery shopping alone.

so i'm totally addicted. i've watched it seasons past and i have emotionally attached myself to various contestants but never like i have this season and never this early on! i am NOT a fan of this new 36 down to 12 system. i was way to emotional last night and i was quite distraught that i didn't get to watch tuesday night's performances on tuesday night and i didn't get to vote. i can say that if i had had to hand pick three out of that group those would have been my choices. i was thrilled at the top 12 selections. however i can't leave you with only those thoughts of course... *i am thankful that there will still be wild card spots open because i do think that anoop and possibly ricky braddy deserve one of those spots. *i am irritated that this weeks group had quite a few good folks and the preview of next weeks group looks like there are very few that i really enjoy. why couldn't they spread this weeks group out a bit? *i am thankful that tatiana is gon...
