Here in the United States, we go through the odious ritual twice a year to change our time. This means for us Daylight Savings Time ended this morning at 2am. Those affected by the change may find themselves a little grumpy until their internal clock adjusts.
Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sunday!
The theme this week is submitted by The Sound of One Hand Typing. He suggested that we write a (clean) love story and use the names of two or three songs from the Top 40 on Valentine’s Day of some year. Here’s an example John did for another challenge to help get you going.
I love this idea the first time I read John’s original post and I’m happy he tossed this in to give us a challenge. Well…it was a bit difficult for me. I didn’t know where to go to find radio stations that listed this information, but I found Top40Weekly and I went with the week ending February 17, 1979 to compose my short story.
No Tell Lover
Talking as two carpooling buds head to the car one afternoon. Chad says, “Be honest, Bryan… Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?
Rolling his eyes, he snorted sarcastically, “Dude, you’re hopeless in that area!”
“So, you’re saying I just need more time in the gym at the Y.M.C.A.?”
“No, I’m saying You Got to Be Real about these things.”
“How does a guy like me grab the attention of my Lady?”
“Just be yourself and ask her out, Chad.”
“Really?”
“Really, man! You Can Do It and besides, will it be a real Tragedy if she says no?”
*** a few days later ***
Bryan’s phone rings. “Hey Chad, what’s up?”
“Hey, man! The Gambler in me took a shot at it and I asked Rita out.”
“Don’t Cry Out Loud if she said no, man. Just Shake It off. Heaven Knows, I’ve done that a million times… but don’t let me babble on like an idiot, what did she say?”
Bryan could hear the smile coming across the line, “Let me just say, I have my Dancin’ Shoes on since last night and I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet.”
“You’re on Fire now, Chad. That’s awesome news!
“Yeah, I feel My Life rocks!”

Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day, CK
Great story!
I hate DST but I love your song choices and story. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
I wish they would get rid of the time change! Switching to DST always affects me for a few days afterwards.
John had a clever idea and I enjoyed your story, Cathy. Fun playlist, as well. 
Rod Stewart, The Bee Gees and Kenny Rogers are favourites. I didn’t know you had a YouTube channel, but have now subscribed to it. Love the cute porcupine sketch!
I hate the time change twice a year. Hate it.
Love John’s take on this weeks theme. Brilliant. You did very well.
I love your artwork. I always do. You’re so talented.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Love and hugs my friend. ♥
I loved John’s challenge. Nice story
Cathy, my computer is acting up again and last week I had no computer and I’m back, but I cannot get into my gmail, google and a few other things.. I’m working on it, but going slow… I just don’t know enough.. I’ve also been under the weather due to my back.. and weather.. I hurt so bad last week was horrible.. I was so frustrated.. Maybe I’ll call you tomorrow if you like please tell the girls I’m sorry.. I need a new computer so bad. I’m so sorry.. please apologize to the girls for now, but I will talk to them very soon and hopefully I can get something up today.. I must sleep now.. This pain keeps me up.. Luv, Marie
Marie,
I was getting really worried about you, girl! I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well with your bad and on top of that you’re having more computer problems. Aren’t you using the new computer you got a couple of Christmases ago? Don’t worry about a thing, I will certainly let the girls know what’s going on with you. The important thing is for you to take extra good care of yourself. Sending love, hugs, and prayers your way, darlin’!
That’s a very cool hedgehog!
Thanks!
I am grinning ear to ear over your story and the music that goes along with it.
The Hedgehog drawing is precious!
I’m glad you enjoyed both. Thanks for stopping by!
No Tell Lover, In my past for sure. The song. LOL Ohhh your hedghog is fabulous. The colors are so bright and the details. Have a great day today.
Chicago had some great tunes back in the day. I love listening to their music and a lot of other oldies! Thanks for dropping!
I can’t find write a comment so I am writing here. I enjoyed your whole Playlist. It was fun to combine it with a story. I l9ve your sweet hedgehog.
Birgit,
If you keep scrolling, the comment box is at the bottom.
John’s song title story theme was a great idea. I think it would be fun to do it again. 
Thanks for dropping by, darlin’! Don’t worry about where you put your message. It makes me happy all the same!
I like your hedgehog picture – so colorful. I haven’t heard No Tell Lover in a long time. And, although I don’t consider myself a Swiftie, I love her Shake it Off. It’s great advice (if you can do it!) Alana ramblinwitham
Did I confuse you with my song selection Shake (Ian Matthews)? I can see how easy that’s possible. I should’ve listed the artist in parenthesis or something. But…I do like that song by Taylor. It has such a fun vibe!
Awww…I love your hedgehog. That is such a fun theme for mewsic Monday. XO
I live your story and it happy ending. Also I just love Tradgedy!! And your cute painting happy Monday
