B is for Baby . . . Sort of

If you don't have any little folks in your life, you might have missed out on the phenomenon sweeping through the pre-school set these days: Baby Shark. If you really have managed to escape it, just know that it's an earworm of a song that will bore into your brain with a single listen, so…

Facebook Friday, March 28

  I’m sure I’ve mentioned, at least in passing, that The Tonight Show pretty much ceased to exist for me after Johnny Carson left the air.  I don’t know; it’s not that I particularly idolized Johnny, or anything, but I did grow up with him, and I did feel like he somehow got shafted in…

The Man Who Writes the Songs

  As I’ve mentioned once or twice before, I am a life-long fan of Barry Manilow.  Some might say his music is just a bunch of silly love songs, or simplistic, or even sappy, and I don’t think I have an argument for any of that.  Except, of course, to say, “So what?”  I’ve got…

Six Word Activities

  My day:              Football, family, fake Elvis.                             Linking up with Cate for Six Word Saturday. 

Song of Life

  Now that our ΦΘΚ group has returned from the national convention, it’s time to start putting together whatever we might have learned and trying to put it to use for our chapter.  Of course, it’s also time to take a look back and remember the fun we had.  As the media officer for our…

My Take: Les Misérables

      Oh, Les Misérables.  Let me be upfront about my bias:  I love this musical.  The music, the story, the characters, the lessons learned—there’s not really a bad spot to be found.  A few months ago, I even confessed that in this particular instance, live theatre could even trump my beloved television as…

5 Question Household

  Taking a short break from the television chit-chat to visit with Mama M. over at My Little Life, linking up with Five Question Friday.  But the small screen musings will return later tonight, closer to my more typical posting time.  Now let’s get this party started, shall we? 1. What album/cd/download are you embarrassed…

Snapshot Sunday #7

  Happy Sunday (actually, most certainly Monday by the time I hit publish) to you all.  It’s been kind of a busy week, starting with football last weekend.  Then the week days were filled with quite a bit of school work and chores/errands, followed by a brief trip to the state fair on Friday night…

Air Supply, a Torn Dress, and Ice Cream

  Hey, everyone, it’s Friday again!  I’ve had a lot of reading/homework to do the past few days—and a test this morning—so I’m glad for the weekend.  Not that it’ll be a complete break from the school work, but it’ll be a little slower. Plus, our state fair started yesterday and tonight hubby and I…
