Happy Birthday, Baby Boo!

Today my little girl turns 8 years old!
It seems like just yesterday that she was small enough to hold in my arms just like this…

Now she’s growing up into quite a beautiful young lady…

Amanda, you have blessed me beyond what mere words could express. I am quite sure if it wasn’t for you, I’d [...]

Howard Stern: Don’t mess with Dolly…

This is bad…really, really bad. Howard Stern pulled a heinous prank on his show where he manipulated Dolly’s voice from her audio book to make it sound like she is saying some horribly lewd comments about celebrity friends of hers, and she is none too happy…
“I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated [...]

Ginger’s ‘Fro 1, Hairdryer 0

After 12 years of faithful service to my mane ‘o curls, this morning my hairdryer go kaboom!
Off to Target tonight to see what new hair drying technology is out there!
Any suggestions?

Thank you, George Lopez

My gosh, I had no idea that 7 and 8 year olds dealt with the kinds of issues that my daughter has been coming home with as of late!
The situation is such that her little 8-year-old boyfriend, who is in her class, has the wrong idea of what it means to be a “girlfriend”…
His idea [...]

Dottie Rambo

Today, I pay tribute to the great Dottie Rambo…one of the legends of the gospel music that I grew up learning, singing, and enjoying so much. It is said that she has over 2,500 songs published…some of which are now standards in the hymnals of churches everywhere.
Dottie was on her way to a concert [...]

Lines on the mirror, lines on her face…

Ok, my buddy Jim Voorhies commented and then I got an e-mail from the most awesome Warrior telling me that my blog has lines through it.
The weird thing is that I don’t see it.
I’m not sure what the heck is going on…
Please leave me a quick comment and let me know if everything looks right [...]

She’s an eagle when she flies…

Today is Mother’s Day, and I would like to dedicate this song and video to my mom and all of the moms & “like-a-moms” out there. This song is very special to me for a couple of reasons, mainly because it perfectly describes the kind of woman I strive to be…
Gentle as the sweet [...]

Perfect order in the animal kingdom…

What a wonderful day! I went with my daughter’s class on a field trip…for the first time ever. We rode the Music City Queen down the Cumberland River almost to downtown Nashville and back to its dock at Opryland Opry Mills.
However, I’m not referring to the rugrats I chaperoned this morning in the [...]

RIP Eddy Arnold

Music lost one of the greats early this morning with the death of Eddy Arnold. He would’ve turned 90-years-old next week! I used to see him around town quite a bit…a very unassuming, nice gentleman who you’d never suspect was a multi-millionaire from all of the real estate investments he had. He [...]

Even a 7-year-old gets it.

This morning on the way to school, Al Voecks was on the radio doing the news, and his top story was that the 6th Circuit Federal Appeals Court upheld an order releasing death row inmate Paul House.
So Amanda asks, “Mommy what do they do to the people on death row? Do they shoot them?”
When [...]

She’s discovered Webkinz…

…I’ll never have access to my PC again.

It’s Moustache May!

Yes, folks…on the internet you can celebrate anything…and build an entire website around it! So, in honor of Moustache May, I present a few of my favorite Glorious Staches…

And of course I would be remiss if I didn’t include the best staches of them all…blogger staches!

Blogger with the best caption ever…
“Got a little ’stache [...]

How can I miss you if you won’t go away?

I’m still waiting for somebody to write a hit country song with that title.
If I were to write it tonight, I would definitely have to mention my current Top 3…
Mindy McCready.
Ok, congratulations on getting out of jail and everything, but I really do not care that you had an affair with Roger Clemens.
Why is [...]
