Yep, Brandon, put endless hours of singing in the shower to work for you ...

Sure I've adjusted a little

Sure I've adjusted a little here and there for love, but I think I've learned more about myself. Since meeting my husband he has given me the courage to try new things. Things that I may have wanted to do, but didn't think that I could. The two things he's taught me that have changed me the most are: photography (he took me on a hike and taught me how to use a manual SLR and I imediately fell in love with taking photos) and song writing (I've always been into music and I'm a singer, but I never would have considered writing a song and now I know that I can). The cool thing about marriage is that sometimes your spouse can see your potential better than you can.

I think it's great that

I think it's great that you're watching American Idle. I know that when I started watching Project Runway a few years back, my husband thought it wasn't worth the time. I got him to watch one episode with me and now we look farward to watching it together every Wednesday night. That show and Lost are our favorites to watch and comment on together. So you never know, Idle might end up being your favorite show - maybe next year you can even audition.

I don't want to make it seem

I don't want to make it seem like watching the show with Molly was torture, because it wasn't. I'd gladly watch "American Idol" and only "American Idol" for the rest of my life if it meant I got to spend time with her.

I'm just saying that I never really thought I'd watch that show, and I am now because of her.

When I married my current

When I married my current husband (he's my second), I was a ultra-organized person. My daughter already knew me to be a drill sergeant about "a place for everything and everything in its place" in our house.

However, my husband is a disorganized, never-throw-anything-away slob and it used to (and sometimes still does) make me crazy to see his little (and sometimes big) piles of junk everywhere. Now, I just dust around it or put it in a box (we've got lots of those in the garage) or, if I'm lucky and he goes out of town, head to the trash can with some things.

The first time my daughter found our house in such disarray, she looked around and said, "Mom, you've changed!"

And here I thought I pull him up and he's dragging me down :-(
