Start of a new week

January's almost over which means we are about over the hump as far as winter is concerned. A week from tomorrow is Groundhog day, the chronological halfway point of winter. The movie, Groundhog Day, is one I can watch over and over. Bill Murray is one of my favorite former Saturday Night Live cast members.

I have a meme to do and hopefully I will get this up in the next few days.

I think everybody knows that I like to promote other blogs and their authors. Those who have been coming here for about a year or more remember the regular feature I wrote last year called, I Like....Because. The first "I like" post was one to try to another blogger. This grew to a regular series which lasted into last May. Since I have a much larger blogroll which is growing constantly, I will be doing this more often. Look for the first of this series for 2009 to be posted by the end of the week.

And to all others who are new visitors, I will get around to visiting you soon.

Is it okay to say I HATE the COLD.. lol??....without sounding Negative.

Well I do.. I love the way the snow comes down..

But Yikes... I got hit with a 341.00 heat bill for one (1)month and that is with a brand new eco-Furnace. And kept the heat on 68 and sometimes lower when only I was home.

So yes I hate the winter....(especially as a single mom).. buying SALT (the good kind so my cement won't crack.. already spent 63.00 on that too. (and 125.00 for firewood and that is all gone; but more for decorative reasons)

Yay..the winter is half over.. that is what keeps me KEEPING ON.. lol.

I canceled so much freelance work this winter too.. just hibernated and read blogs.. (bad).

BTW you hair looks nice LOOOONGER and probably keeps you WARMER.

We are almost through January, and it seems to have flown by this year somehow. Out of the chalk box of January into the _____________ of February. I need a word. Perhaps the ground hog will bail me out.

Good luck with your meme!
Believe it or not, here in Houston we had some cold weather --- but just as often, the weather was nice and warm.

Wixy - I love that movie Groundhog day! One of the most memorable scenes is when he became an accomplished pianist with "just one lesson" - LOL!
On another note - you are an excellent blogger ambassador and are very generous in your promotion of other's blogs. I have to remember to start mentioning my favorites.

I feel that there are many good bloggers that need a little push and some encouragement in order to get a little confidence in their writing.

The one time broadcast student and former salesperson in me wants to promote good blogs and those on my sidebar are all good reading as all bloggers display a passion to communicate.

All those who give me encouragement by coming here and commenting on my posts are most deserving of my promotion of their excellent work.

I LOVE the movie Groundhog Day as well!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
