Flashback Friday--I Can't Make You Love Me

<img alt="http://christis-blahblahblog.blogspot.com" src="http://tinyurl.com/5zzwl8" />

Is this not just the best unrequited love song ever?! I love it still! It takes me back to college, when I was pining after a certain guy with whom I'd had a little hookup after having a crush on him for quite some time. He didn't feel the same way, though, so it never worked out...but man, did I spend lots of time wishing it would! LOL This song is one that I LOVE to belt out in the car with the radio turned up full blast! Of course, it doesn't hurt that my vocal range is very similar to Bonnie Raitt's, so I can pretend I sound good too!



So what is running through your head today? C'mon and share it! Post it on your site and come back and MckLinky it up so we can come visit ya and see it! Stop by and see another FIRST Wild Card Tour at BlahBlahReviews, too!

Wordless Wednesday--Fun on the Slide

These were taken by my sister at our church's Freedom Celebration on Sunday. It was the first time in 7 years that we had to hold it indoors, but it still went well! As you can see, the boys definitely had fun!

Blog Hop: A favorite photo

Howdy, blog hoppers! For this week's hop, I chose to share a picture of my entire family last summer when we went on a cruise to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime! I adore my family and am so glad that we all got to be together on this trip. As my nieces and nephews get older and go to college and out on their own, I will look back at this time and remember how much fun we had!

I am very blessed in that we all live in the same town. As a United Methodist preacher's family, it is rare that the entire family settle one place. First, my oldest sister married her high school sweetheart and stayed here. Then my other sister fell in love with one of my brother-in-law's best friends, and they married and settled here as well. I joked from that point on about finding me a good Scott County boy....and I did! My husband was actually in my mom's Kindergarten class years ago! We are very blessed!

Thanks for stopping by, and hope to see ya'll again soon! Don't be a stranger!

Let's try a Blog Hop!

MckMama has started a new feature called a blog hop! Each month will have a different theme. I thought it sounded like fun, so here goes!

For those who don't know me, I'm Christi! I am the mama to Isaac, 8, and Adam, 5, and wife to Chris. I am a teacher--first grade for 12 years--and starting a new job as a Reading Specialist in the fall. I am halfway through a Master's program in Reading, which I am loving! I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, and naps when I can take 'em! I'm very proud of my boys and almost as proud of all my nieces and nephews: Kellie, 26, Ked, 18, Katie, 17, Logan, 16, Maria, 14, Wesley, 12, Keener, 12, Leigh Ann, 9, and Ian, 3. My blog is about a whole lot of nothin' much....pretty much what comes to mind! I do a weekly meme called Flashback Fridays, which you can see below this post! I have two other blogs, Blah Blah Reviews and Showered By Blessings, and contribute at Sited and Blogged as well. I'm also a moderator at My Parent Connection, my favorite message board! I hope ya'll will come back and visit more often!!

Flashback Friday--Punky Brewster

<img alt="http://christis-blahblahblog.blogspot.com" src="http://tinyurl.com/5zzwl8" />

I watched something the other day, maybe an E! True Hollywood Story, about Punky Brewster. Remember that show? I was in 6th or 7th grade when it started and thought it was the cutest show in the world! I remember going to Magic Mart one time with Roxanne looking for a magazine with a picture of her in it because we were going to try to draw her and win money from some other magazine! I don't think we ever completed that goal!



So what about you? What are you remembering today? Come share! I'm trying a new linky service today called McLinky Have a great 4th, ya'll!

I'm so frustrated!

I've been trying for 2 and a half hours to add those cute little button icons to my posts so that I can possibly get more exposure. I thought I'd finally figured it out, but when I did whatever it was I did, I lost ALL my posts...only had the buttons and my titles! So I deleted that and I'm quitting for the night. If anyone out there knows what I'm talking about and how to help me, I would be so appreciative! I have the graphics I want to use, but just can't get 'em in there to use! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I'm contributing to another site!

I'm so excited! I didn't want to say anything before it was actually 'done', but I'm now a contributor at Sited and Blogged!

Go check out my first post here!

Wordless Wednesday--Adam on the beach

Adam is such a ham....he has on his Daddy's hat here! We had a great vacation last week, and the boys LOVED the ocean! I have a feeling it won't be 5 more years before we go again!
