Prompt: That Was Then, This Is Now

Maggie, at From Cave Walls, and Lauren, at LSS Attitude of Gratitude, alternate hosting Throwback Thursday. The idea of the prompt is for them to give us a topic and for us to write a post in which we share our own memories or experiences about the given topic. This week’s prompt is: That Was Then And … Continue reading Prompt: That Was Then, This Is Now →

Holy 500!

I was notified by Word Press that this blog hit a milestone!! Had I been paying attention, I would have made Blog #500 something a bit more special. Instead, my last blog (#500) was about how tired I am! Reflecting As I sat down to write Blog #501, I thought on how far this blog … Continue reading Holy 500! →

LIST: Top 50 Overplayed/Hated Songs of All Time

I saw this on Facebook earlier and had to share. I know many of my blog followers are into music and I'd love their opinions on this list. The list comes from a site called "A Lot Living," which, from what I can tell, is some sort of entertainment site. I tried to post a … Continue reading LIST: Top 50 Overplayed/Hated Songs of All Time →

Trip #52

Today is the 12th anniversary of my 39th birthday. As much as I'd like to be "Forever 39" like Jack Benny, the truth is that I am officially logged 51 years on the planet. Today begins Trip #52. People are always asked "What do you want for your birthday?" This blog is my answer (or … Continue reading Trip #52 →

Sunny Side of the Street

"The Sunny Side of the Street" One of my favorite commercials on TV right now is the "Spring Into Action" commercial from Kohl's. There is something about the smile of the little girl as people "hop" by that tugs at the heart strings. It is a wonderful "feel good" commercial. If you haven't seen it … Continue reading Sunny Side of the Street →

Blog # 300!!

Another Milestone Well, here it is - my 300th blog post. To be completely honest, I have a few more than 300, but some were kept private. So this is my 300th "published" blog. Over the past few blogs, I knew this milestone blog was coming, and wondered just how a blogger celebrates this kind … Continue reading Blog # 300!! →

One Hit Wonder Day

Yesterday (9/25) was National One Hit Wonder Day. A One Hit Wonder is a song that would be considered the only hit song for an artist. In surfing through Sirius XM while driving, almost all of the "Decade" channels were playing one hit wonders yesterday. The book pictured above is filled with great stories about … Continue reading One Hit Wonder Day →

Me: From A to Z

By far not the most original blog idea, but this stems from a daily writing prompt.  What is cool about something like this, is that I can probably return to this idea a few times and come up with some different answers.  The idea is to take all 26 letters of the alphabet and describe … Continue reading Me: From A to Z →

2 Years of Ramblings – A Reflection

Two Years Old Word Press informs me that this blog turned two years old yesterday!  Two years and the blogging continues.... I wrote a blog reflecting on one year and some feelings remain the same.  Rather than look back on the entire two years, I thought I would reflect on the last year, which had … Continue reading 2 Years of Ramblings – A Reflection →

Thankful Thoughts (updated)

Happy Thanksgiving! I am sitting on the couch next to my wife after having dinner and watching the Detroit Lions lose another game on National TV! (LOL - I get suckered in actually thinking they MAY win a game!) The Christmas tree is lit, the lights are low, and we are waiting to have some … Continue reading Thankful Thoughts (updated) →
