JWalking: The Blog

I don't award prizes. Really, I don't. But, I do have to recognize two outstanding responses to the "Your Caption Here" entry. First--Chatty Kelly, for bringing back memories of my favorite Kurt Browning professional skating routine, with her version of the Commodores' "Brick House." It's a BRICK HOUSE, it might be, might be, letting it all HANG OUT... (Pause...how will we get the clothes that are HANGING OUT down?) Shake it down, shake it down now. Shake it down, shake it down now. And, second--CJ, for catching me at just the right time with one that almost made me fall off my chair. T-Shirt 1: Hey! I just checked my tag, and it says that I'm from Walmart! T-Shirt 2: Me too! We must be related! Wahahahahahaha..... For you both-- ...The virtual T award * * * S o, the long story behind the short story. We had been staying at my sister's house and enjoying a great week with her and her family. During the week, I had t...

M y blog is seriously stale! Vacation will do that. (Although the fare at Proverbs is always fresh daily!) Great excuse to play "Your Caption Here." I don't do prizes, but, if you so desire, I will create a virtual one for you. My answer to the Facebook cup of coffee. (HA!) Feel free to comment more than once. Let's have fun out there!! * * * "I may be going out on a limb here, but, did your dryer break?"

Today is Tuesday. You know what that means. I t's time for ADHDMe to share a great nostalgic post with us, featuring someone special. Unfortunately, ADHDMe has been, in her words, "out of order"--well, at least her blog has, although she might argue that parts of her back are not exactly lining up either! Can hardly think about going through Tuesday without something. SO.... Celebrating ADHDMe and her special post, we're gonna have a special guest!!! Because, Monkeys are Funny! * * * These guys made a huge splash onto NBC's Saturday morning line-up back in 1968. The Hanna/Barbera team went from the animated Flintstones and Jetsons to these costumed-animated jokers that got us up and moving with their energetic theme song. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la....

I have admired this feature on Bonita's blog for quite a while now (though it truly belongs to Peggy, who you can visit through clicking on the Daybook picture). Thought I'd give it a try, especially while the Proverbs' blog continues. (You can still join us, by the way....) * * * FOR TODAY, Sunday, August 2, 2009... OUTSIDE MY WINDOW... Gray! Lots of clouds today. Rain, a trickle at a time. Not a good pool day. (Sorry, RJ2!) I AM THINKING... About my week ahead. I'm actually on deadline to come up with deadlines! I'm chairing our school's PTA Reflections program this fall, and I have to develop a timeline so the kids know when to turn in their entries. (And quite a few other items.) I AM THANKFUL FOR... The rain that has kept our sprinklers off most of the summer (and swim lessons on!). Time to blog in the evenings after long days with the girls. Technology that lets you capture moments in time and recalls them in an instant fo...
