tuesday night quick hits

1. i’m pretty sure that it’s time for kristy lee cook to go home from american idol. she’s probably very nice, but she’s not the best singer by far. and on top of that, she’s done some awful things in regards to song choice…8 days a week as a horrible country hoe-down, you’ve got to hide your love away with the wrong melody, and tonight god bless the usa. simon raved about how smart the song choice was, but seriously, is there a more cheesy song she could have chosen? to me, that song is reserved strictly for the fourth of july…and preferably for cute little kids…maybe i’m a jerk. my wife liked her performance tonight, so it could be just me.

2. still reeling a little bit from this past easter weekend. went to fusion church in the morning (i still think that tony mccollum is one of the best speakers around), ate lunch with old friends and new acquaintances, and then enjoyed buckhead church’s sunday evening service (music, multimedia, lighting, and message were out of this world. read more about it here.) which was most wonderful. throw in some good chill time with great friends earlier in the weekend, and i’ve got a full, full heart from the past several days.

3. one of our glasses broke in the dishwasher today, as we were scrambling to get the house cleaned for a showing. what a mess. i was going to help clean it out, but she did it herself while i was typing number 1.

4. my dog is hilarious. i think i’ve mentioned before that he’s scared of a lot of stuff. well, while gretchen was cleaning out the broken glass from the dishwasher, she discovered another thing that totally freaks him out. (the following video might not be as funny to anybody esle as it was to gretchen and me…but you should’ve seen the time right before we got it on video! by the time we shot this, he was already on edge…)

4. it’s cold outside. it’s colder here now (38F) than it is in marion, oh (48F), where i’ll be living in a few weeks! of course that is a fluke. the forecasted high temperature for this week is consistently 20-30 degrees warmer in atl. i used to be used to the cold, and now 38 degrees feels arctic! i’m glad we’re moving there after (hopefully) the last snow of the season.

5. last day at kroger is tomorrow. not that i’m overjoyed or anything…

  1. that video still makes me laugh even though I’ve seen it several times now. i think part of the reason it’s so funny to me is because part of our dishwasher is rolling on the kitchen floor. you know, we are the only people who truly appreciate that video.
