Day 25: Y is for Yodel

One more day until the Blogging A to Z Challenge is over and today’s letter is ‘Y’. Vidya gave Yodel and I immediately decided I was going to do a yodeling video. Or rather me learning how to yodel video.

I convinced my brother-in-law to video this lesson, which I procured from YouTube and bless his heart he tried not to laugh but needless to say he laughed till he cried. Although funny and exponentially entertaining I couldn’t subject any of you to that. Furthermore and perhaps more importantly, I couldn’t let that get out there onto the interwebs and I do have a reputation to protect. 🙂

Well, I can say that I tried something new that I never in a million years would have tried, and it was an EPIC FAIL!

So I leave you with this young professional yodeler, Taylor Ware.

Day 15: Opinion

I’m in the process of catching up with my Blogging A to Z Challenge letters. Day 15 was the letter ‘O’ and I originally planned to pen something about Opinions. However my mom had open heart surgery and was progressing very quickly, then she had a set back and I thought, ‘One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.’

The other day I was talking to a friend of mine and both of us are quite opinionated. He, like most people of the male species have some bizarre, misguided notion that they are always right.

Day 22: V is for Victory

In just a few short days the Blogging A to Z Challenge will be over. I’ve come across quite a few blogs that I’ve enjoyed, but as much as I want to there is no way to make around to everyone. Anyway on to letter of the day, which is ‘V’.

My friends and family know that I am a huge Family Guy fan and that Stewie is my favorite character. Not really sure what that says about me. When I sat down to write today’s Friday Fiction, “Victory is Mine” kept popping in my head. The way Stewie says it. And I kept smiling and laughing quietly to myself and smirking. I’m pretty sure the folks in the dentist’s office may have thought I was a few bottle caps short. After all people don’t chuckle before going back to the torture chamber. see the dentist. Right? 😈

 

Day 21: U is for Ubiquitous

Oh my, I can’t believe the month of April is basically over. We are on day 21 of the Blogging A to Z Challenge and have a whopping five more days. I’m having a blast and I’ve come across a lot of great bloggers over the past few weeks. And can’t wait to see what they do after the challenge is over.

Just a reminder the questions for 20/20 Five will post tomorrow. I hope you’ll link up, join the fun, and get to know some more fellow bloggers.

I look forward to reading your responses and thank you to everyone that asked questions.

I was given the word ‘Ubiquitous’ by Vidya over at Vidya Sury. Make sure to stop by and check her out.

Day 20: T is for Tourists

Spring Break in the DC area is officially over, but it also marks the onslaught of tourists to the area. Today’s Blogging A to Z Challenge letter is . . . yep you guessed it ‘T’.

10 Simple rules for tourists when visiting Washington, DC

1. Do not under any circumstances travel on Metro between the hours of 7:00 am & 9:30 am or 4:30 pm & 6:30 pm. Why? It’s Rush Hour.
   

   This is Rush Hour. This is why Rule #1 is so important.

2. If you so chose to violate Rule #1 don’t get mad at us when we don’t answer or snap at you when you’re on the Metro prior to 9:30 am. We are more than likely trying to prepare ourselves for the daily deluge of crap from our rat bastard co-workers.
3. Oh how we all love to stroll. If you and your brood are strolling, taking up the entire sidewalk while violating Rule #1, please don’t look surprised when someone barrels through you and yells, “excuse me, I have to get to work!” I have heard people yell, “Get the fuck out the way!”
