Take the Automatic 7

Misheard lyrics.
Chronic lyricosis.
Unintentional Song Slaying.
We’ve all heard them.  We’re all guilty of singing them.
I heard this morning on the radio that there’s an actual word for this occurance which comes from a 17th century ballad with the line,
“And laid him on the green“
Which, like all good mixed up words turned into:
“And Lady Mondegreen”
Naturally.
So on 97.3 [...]

“Creed” is paid to ACT like he doesn’t work.
Facebook is the new Solitaire.

Oh the joy of Way Back Whensday!
I was talking with BoyKid’s 4th grade teacher this week who was telling me that her first year teaching she had 7th graders.  She went home crying every day.
I only cried once or twice the year I had the sweet faces below in St. Cloud, FL.  I was in [...]

It all started with an invitation to sub for Bunco. 
For the uninformed, bunco is a dice game with EXACTLY 12 people–no more, no less, hence my use of the capitalized “EXACTLY.”  You roll your dice (“and take your chances”–Nathan Jessup: A Few Good Men)  and rotate partners and foursomes for a few hours.  There’s also [...]

I’m not that much into Valentine’s DAY so much, but I love me some hearts all the live-long year.   They are found scattered to and fro all around our abode.

Refrigerator magnets, dishtowels…
 

 
Arwork by the girl.

I also love this poster that is in our laundry room.

If love can be found in the laundry room, well, [...]

Today is the day that I became a mom of more than one.  First Daughter was born this day in 1996.  Which makes her a teenager today.  But come with me on a sentimental journey.
In the interest of sharing/keeping the joy and avoiding the whine-age, I will graciously skip over the better part of 1996 [...]

My friend capriK and her friend capriDeb have come up with the fabulous idea of Way Back Wednesday.  As always, I’m coming late to the party but here we go:
This picture was taken at the preschool Children’s Development Center at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, TN on February 7, 1973.  I’m the one in the [...]

How can you forget the lyrics that you never knew?
Apparantly this morning is Figure Out The Lyrics Morning in my bathroom because I just heard two songs, back to back which I THOUGHT I knew by heart but figured out a lyric IN EACH that I never knew I never knew!
Don’t
Don’t you want me?
You know [...]

Happy Monday ya’ll!
I love Mondays.  Because in the church world, the weekends…not so down-time-ish.   So I woke up this morning with my Typical Monday Internal Conversation:
I could go for a walk.
I could go to Curves. 
I could go swim at the Rec Center.
None of which sounded more appealing than rolling over in the bed and continuing the [...]
