Justin Timberlake ‘The 20/20 Experience’ CD #JT2020 #Cbias
Ever since I was little I wanted to be a singer. I had big dreams of singing on a large stage somewhere. I could see my name in bright lights! I just needed... my big break. But when I was 10 years old, I realized I had no talent whatsoever! I'm not kidding, I'm a horrible singer. But my lack of talent didn't keep me away from my love for music. Over the years I have been to dozens of live concerts and have bought numerous Cd's. Yes, I still buy Cd's. One of my all-time musical crushes is Continue Reading
What The Walking Dead Has Taught Me About The Zombie Apocalypse
My husband & I rarely watch television. During the week there doesn't seem like enough time to watch a evening sitcom or drama.

Another reason I love weekend television is The Walking Dead which airs on Continue Reading
