All Star Monday Blog Hops
What is blog hopping? A blog hop is a fun way to meet new bloggy friends. You literally hop from one blog to another. You can do as little or as many as you want. You’ll visit new blogs you may otherwise not have if it weren’t for the meme you participate in. Plus, it’s a great way to build your personal blog followers. Cool, huh? I kind of like to think of it as, strolling around my neighborhood visiting the ladies. Maybe I will stay long enough to share a cup of coffee with you, while I catch up on what’s going on in your life. I nearly always leave a comment and hope I get a return visit. But, above all, I never stress over these memes. I just go with the flow and when I land on someone’s home page, I usually know immediately if I want to take the time to get to know that person a little more.
Now with that being said, let me start off by saying this week I’m shaking things up just a bit. I’m comprising my daily memes into one blog post. Pardon me while I get my feel for this and I certainly would appreciate your opinion on this. When you play the blog hops, do you want to see separate posts or is one perfectly fine with just as so as it looks like the person playing has made an effort to join in on the fun?
The first meme up today is a new one to me and if you want to link up I invite you to visit one of the hosts, JamericaSpice for Monday’s Music Moves Me!
When I was in the 6th grade, I was a part of the Glee Club. Trust me, it wasn’t anything like ‘Glee’. I sang one verse from this song solo in my first public singing gig when I was, but a mere child. This song has been sort of special to me ever since. I love being a friend for my friends to lean on and it’s nice knowing I have friends I can lean on, too. This Monday, I’m participating in several memes and this one is a new one to me. So, enjoy while you listen to my song pick for this Monday.
Next, it’s time to play Java’s MEET ME ON MONDAY, be sure to click on her button to link up.
- Do you have a fireplace in your home? Yes, but we do not use it as it’s not very efficient.
- Can you drive a stick shift? Yes. Our first car was a little four-speed Ford Fiesta (1977). Driving a manual transmission car is LOTS of fun. That little Fiesta had the pick up for little ole four-cylinder. It was a hoot to downshift as I accelerated onto the freeway. Whoo-hoo! We bought a Toyota Supra in 1987, which also was stick and that was more fun to drive because it had more ponies under the hood.
- How many computers are in your home? We have a desktop computer, which is the workhorse in the family and our son has a laptop for his school work.
- Are your taxes done yet? Do you do them yourself? Yep, yep!
- What is your favorite meal of the day? Breakfast. This is the most important meal of the day and one I don’t skip. I prefer fixing an omelet to kick-start my day. It gives me the energy to face a new day and it keeps me from mindlessly snacking all the way through to lunch.
This is my last meme for Monday….(Note: This last meme doesn’t have a post for this week, but I’m watching to see if it goes active again.)
If you have a Monday blog hop you would like to share with me, please send me the link. I’m always eager to see what others are doing.

@Hillary…Aah shucks, thanks! But, trust me I had my moments when I wasn’t such a savvy stick shift driver. lol I was never quite as smooth with the clutch as my hubs. Now we have an automatic. I may be a disaster trying to drive a stick these days. =D
