Slang: a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people. I have always loved watching old movies and listening to old radio shows. I have always chuckled at some … Continue reading Are You Hip To That Jive?
Happy National Chili Day!
I LOVE chili! When I first moved to the Flint area from the Detroit area I remember going to a coney place and they asked if I wanted my coney dogs "Detroit or Flint" style. Who knew they were different? Not me. It's not that I dislike Flint style, but to me it isn't quite … Continue reading Happy National Chili Day!
Thoughts on The Godfather (1972)
It has been some time since I have been able to participate in a Blogathon, but when I saw that The Ultimate Decades Blogathon was being hosted by my friends over at Tranquil Dreams and Drew's Movie Reviews, I had to take part in it. The basic theme is to blog about a movie that … Continue reading Thoughts on The Godfather (1972)
Post Op Update
Today marks 1 week since I "retired the swim team." Without going into too much detail, upon examination my doc decided that the surgery would need to be done at the hospital. He told me that he'd feel better if we did it there. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told that I'd be … Continue reading Post Op Update
Pure Sassy!
We took Ella to get her "Two Year Old" Pictures last week. I'm glad that we wound up getting the entire digital package, because I don't know that I could just pick a few pictures! Maybe I am biased, but I think she is one of the most photogenic kids! I don't know that she … Continue reading Pure Sassy!
Ice On. Ice Off.
I debated whether or not to write about this. Then I realized that I've already shared quite a bit of personal stuff with you already, so what's one more thing? As I stated in my previous blog, I am home recovering from a minor surgical procedure (Somewhere hidden in this blog is a hint as … Continue reading Ice On. Ice Off.
Bored in Bed
Yesterday I had a minor surgery. At some point over the next day or two, I am sure I will be able to write a humorous blog about the whole thing. For now, I'm laying in bed at home recovering. I have finished a book I had wanted to read and now I am contemplating … Continue reading Bored in Bed
TV Show Draft – Pick #1 – Police Squad!
This blog is part of the TV Show Draft that is being hosted by Hans from Slice The Life. He is the same guy who hosted the Song Draft I took part in last year. This is the same idea. All the participants will pick their "draft picks" like one would pick a player in … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Pick #1 – Police Squad!
That was “interesting” … and uncomfortable!
Remember a while ago when I blogged about working midnights? Yesterday was an example of just what kind of toll it can take on a person when you don't get a lot of sleep. Let me tell you about it. Because I wanted to make sure I spent some time with Ella for her birthday, … Continue reading That was “interesting” … and uncomfortable!
A Two-riffic Birthday!
Yesterday, I blogged about it being Ella's last night as a one year old. Today (2-10) she officially turned two! On one of the Facebook "dad" groups I am a part of, someone posted that "Time is a thief." That is so true. I am still scratching my head and wondering how she could be … Continue reading A Two-riffic Birthday!
