I registered to walk!



A friend of mine has a baby who was born prematurely so she decided to walk for the March of Dimes. I decided that I will walk with her also. If you would like to donate to Sal's team click here

This is from the Team Captain:

MM-Walking in Memphis

Every Monday LadyJava does Music Mondays so here is mine for the week:

Marc Cohn~Walking in Memphis

This song will always be dear to my heart and I will tell you why. My dad went to the Gulf War after we moved to Ft. Polk, LA. I was I think about 10 years old. My mom decided that my sister, mom, and I would travel to Illinois for Christmas. It was oh-so-much fun. It was us 3 plus I think we brought my cat at the time (she died when I was 18) in our little 1989 Chevy Cavalier (Oh the memories of that old car, I miss it!). It was snowing like mad crazy when we got to Tennessee and we stayed at a Holiday Inn.

Every time I hear this song I will always remember traveling with my mom and sister during a snowstorm!



Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. One simple rule, leave ONLY the actual post link here. You can grab this code at LJL Please note these links are STRICTLY for Music Monday participants only. All others will be deleted without prejudice.

Join the First Commenters Club!

From Mariuca's Blog:

When I first started giving out free linky love to my First Commenter (FC) for any star posts that you see here or at MPG, I did not think it would end up being so much FUN! Soon after, several blogger friends followed suit in showing appreciation for their First Commenter by giving out free linky love as well.

Some vary the way the link is given while others add EC credits on top of the free linky love. However it's done, there's no denying the fun that we've enjoyed in trying to win that much coveted FC spot in order to be featured at the host blog. So after much thinking and conferring with my BFF confidante LadyJava, I've decided to make things formal by starting a brand new
First Commenter Club!

I think most of you who are already giving away linky love to your First Commenter realize by now that this is indeed a wonderful way for us to thank our commenters who make the effort to stop by and comment on our blogs. It is also a great way to increase your traffic and comments as bloggers are more inclined to drop by your blog to see if you have a new star post out in hopes of winning the free link back that you are giving away.

The FC Club will house all members under one roof. This will make it easier for us bloggers to visit and get to know one another better. Furthermore, all members would be aware of which blogs are giving away free linky love to their first commenters, thus encouraging other FC members to visit your blog!

The rules are simple, because we like things simple and sweet.

1. Your blog gives away FREE linky love to your FIRST COMMENTERS.
  • It doesn't matter how many times in a month you have FC linky love posts at your blog but do take note that the tendency of other bloggers visiting you (to win the linky love you are giving away) increases with the number of FC linky love posts you write.
2. Display the FC button and blogroll in your sidebar.
  • Once we have finalized the FC Club member list, please come back here to get your code for the complete blogroll of Members.
Here is the badge to display at your sidebar.







3. We are looking for 100 blogs only so HURRY!
  • For now, our membership drive is open to the first 100 blogs that qualify. All types of blogs are welcomed to join the FC Club, but we draw the line at blogs that are pornographic in nature.

So what are you waiting for? Keep your readers coming back for more by joining the First Commenter Club. Start showing your love and appreciation for your readers and commenters today!

Is it really possible?

To have too many purses? Hubby thinks so after I keep asking him for a Dooney and Bourke purse.

This one:















He thinks its unnecessary to buy yet another purse, let alone one that costs 175 dollars. I only have like 6 purses...what is so wrong with that?

Men will never understand. But then again, I never understand them either.
