I had another odd dream over the weekend. This one was sports related.

This time, I had a dream that in Northeast Ohio we were celebrating BOTH the Browns and Guardians winning it all in the same year! LOL. As always, I have no idea what brought this on. By the way, I do not know who either team beat for the league championship. All I know is there was a lot of TV coverage of people around here celebrating.

We DID come probably as close to this actually happening as it ever will in 2016. Remember? That year the Cavs DID win the Championship, and the Indians were up against the Cubs in the Series.

When I have weird dreams, they will be talked about here so you are the first to know ;) HAHAHAHA

I love my furball Buttercup. I spend money on his food (he has a soecial diet), and make sure he has a good amount of toys to keep him occupied. I spend my good, hard earned money on said toys...as does my mom. But what does this little nerd do?... plays with simple everyday things!

Now, I know all cats do it. Once, he decided that the circular lid to a thing of litter would make a great toy! Just this week, he thought the lid to a cannister of Tootsie Rolls I got for Christmas would be fun to play with! Funny how they get entertained by the simplest things lol.

Now to be fair, he does still play with the actual cat toys we buy him too. It's just funny to watch what he will decide to play with next.

So with the snow on Wednesday morning, schools closed. It seems like just yesterday I would've dreamed to wake up to snow covered roads that were nearly impassable and hoping a plow hadn't come by in many hours so we could stay home from school and watch The Price is Right ;).

How times have changed! Now, I always hope that heavy snow goes around us so I can have an easy drive into work or going home. I'm always looking to count how many plows I see hoping that number is high so I don't get stuck trying to get home. It's funny how your viewpoint changes with age :).

I worked at Blossom Music Center as an usher for 10 years. One of my favorite country acts to come through every year was Brooks & Dunn. Great music, great show, and just a lot of fun. They are getting back on the road in 2023 for the Reboot Tour, and bringing Scotty McCreery along for the ride!

They are not stopping here this time though. BUT, you don't have to travel far to attend the show! They are stopping in Pittsburgh and Buffalo this May, and they will be in Columbus in June. If you have never seen Brooks & Dunn...go!

I was out driving Monday afternoon and noticed how nice the trees look with the snow on them. I also noticed the same thing looking out my front window at home. The trees in my neighborhood and the street look so nice with a fresh layer of snow on them. 

We are supposed to get some more mid-week (with maybe rain mixed in...yuck!), but hopefully not too much. It isn't fun to drive in (not all the time ;)), but once the roads are clear and the snow is actually still white I think it looks so nice!

Even though I love the look it gives, I still wouldn't mind the 50s and 60s we had recently coming back for another extended visit. LOL

It's almost time for the 3rd annual Red White & Bowl! This year we are going to be at Stonehedge Entertainment on Cuyahoga Falls Ave. in Akron. Bowling is one of my favorite things to do in my "spare time" ;) lol. We will have great prizes with the silent auction, the 50/50 raffle, and Neon Union with an acoustic performance!

Since you're reading this on our website, why not purchase your lane for up to 5 people while you're here?! Plus, proceeds benefit NEOPAT!

We look forward to seeing you for Red White & Bowl next month :)

USA Today is conducting a contest to see what is America's favorite music museum. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum is one of the options!!! Go vote for it now! 

I love the Rock Hall. It took me forever to go there the first time - one of those 'it's in my backyard, so I never really think to go' kinda things. I'm glad I have been - it's so much fun! 

First, it's a beautiful building. Second, there is SO MUCH cool memorabilia from several genres of music. I personally can always skip the actual "Hall of Fame" part. I'm there to see the momentos and artifacts like the Michael Jackson glove, or a Diana Ross dress, or a napkin that an artist wrote lyrics on.

Anyway, go vote for our local treasure! You have until noon on February 13th to vote, and the winner will be announced February 24th!

Thursday is National Popcorn Day, and WQMX is hooking you up to celebrate! Listen ALL DAY for your chance to win a $20 gift card to Metropolis Popcorn in Cuyahoga Falls and Hudson.

Not only that, through Sunday, ALL popcorn is 10% off both in store and online! They are also celebrating with 5 new flavors! If you have never been to Metropolis you must go. What are you waiting for? Their popcorn is DELICIOUS!

I will have your 1st chance to win coming up after midnight Wednesday night/Thursday morning (however you look at it).

On Tuesday afternoon I went to pick up my new glasses! I put them on and they were a perfect fit right away! No adjustments needed :). No new prescription or anything, just had extra $$$ at the end of 2022 that needed spent or I would lose it, so I got new frames.

I don't know about you, but I cannot go to look at glasses alone. I need a friend or family member with me to get their opinion on how things look on me. It seems so many frames are so alike anymore, it can be very difficult! 

So far, I am very happy with my choice. I like the way they look and they are very comfortable!

I don't know if I have mentioned before, but my family has been vacationing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee (Dolly Parton's hometown) for almost 25 years. It's so beautiful there with so much to do for everyone. Did I mention the people? They are so nice!

One of the most fun things to do there is spend a day (or two) at Dollywood. The park offers something for everyone! Shopping, eating, live shows, and rides! The rides are starting to really be top notch! Plus, the lines are not nearly as long as you find at that amusement park in Sandusky, lol (ssshhhh).   

If you and your family are looking for a place to go for vacation and have never been, I highly suggest going to Pigeon Forge/Sevierville/Gatlinburg, TN. You will have SO MUCH FUN and will not regret it!
