Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday is all about me discovering something that is different to post. I don't want to post things that you and I have more than likely heard before. I want to find something different. It could be from another country, someone singing from the streets of NY, and more.

This week I'm posting about someone that may look familiar to you. It's Sean Lennon. He looks like a perfect mix of his mom Yoko Ono, and his late Dad John Lennon. His writes and sings music. The trouble is, is that he's always compared to his father. In one interview he got upset because they kept asking about his father. He was there for the release of his newish album. I have to be honest I don't blame him for being upset! It would be horrible to live your life, and feel like it's never your life. He's also had to live with people saying that the one who raised him was responsible for the Beatles breaking up.Why did they break up? No one really knows.

Music wasn't totally hidden by Sean growing up. Yoko and John both decided that they didn't want him to be his own person. They didn't want to tell him what he should be when he grew up.

I think Yoko Ono did a great job raising Sean Lennon. He's 38, a year older than I am. He went to Kindergarten in Japan. He mostly grew up in New York. He shares his birthday with his Dad and Sharon Osbourne, and has hung out with her and Ozzy's kids.

My favorite song of his is Dead Meat.

This chip is long. It's Sean's whole album. I actually like towards the middle of it.

Friendly Fire

Here's an interview with Sean Lennon and Sharon Osbourne.

Random Tid Bits

1. I confess that I leave store tags on things to make things feel like they are new for longer. I take tags off of clothing, but as far as baskets, binders and other store things go, I leave them on. Daddy never says anything about this. He never takes them off himself. They stay on for a long time before they are removed.


2. My Mom (Grandma) said a few times that my boys smell like garlic. Well that opens it up for me to feed them something that is garlic filled the night before they go over to their house. I'm just kind of sneaky, and wrong like that.


3. I put up a twisted warped face for my Facebook profile. I did it mainly because I knew it would drive my family nuts looking at me like that. I think I have a strong resemblance to Tim Burton's wife Helena Bonham Carter when she was in Alice and Wonderland. I have a warped since of humor. Finally after a few months I changed it; to look more presentable. My Mom (Grandma) and my Aunt Becky commented on my new photo saying, "Thank you!" Part of me wants to put the twisted photo back up just because I know it will bother them. I'm my Father's (Grandpa's) daughter when it comes to my humor.









4. When I take walks I confess that if someone's blinds are open at night I'll look in their house. I'm not looking to see the people that live there, how clean, or messy their house is. I'm looking at their lights, I'm looking at the color(s) on their walls/or lack their of. Most are not as daring as we are with colors on their walls, as we are. I think I'm curious, others might see me as a creeper. I'm sorry if you find me creepy.


5. I confess that I don't have a Smart Phone. Do I feel less smart? Not really. I'm on my computer much of the time anyhow, so I don't feel like I need one. About the only thing that makes me want to have one is all the Apps. Some look like fun. It drives my oldest sister (Aunt Angela) nuts that I don't have texting. That's what Facebook messaging, emails, and answering machines are for.

Confess something to me. I want in on the crazy things you do, or think. No judging.

Rocket Shoes

Mica was talking about how he was going to make rocket shoes at school. He was super excited.

One day he came home, and looked sad. I asked him, "What's the problem?"

He said, "Well I found out that we're really not making rocket shoes. We're just colored shoes in, and writing about them. I wanted to actually make them!"

I thought about buying a pair on converse, or Keds and painting rockets on their for him. Daddy told me not to. Daddy said, "He wants his shoes to be actual rockets. He'll be disappointed with painted ones to."

Mica came home with his drawing and writing yesterday. 

This is what he wrote:

"Welcome to my rocket shoes! They have fins and rockets. They are gray because when it is hot my shoes get hot and I love it at the end of the day when I take them off it takes the heat out."

medicationdiscountcard.com Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


I got a chance to review a discount card for prescription medicine. The site is: medicationdiscount.com

One thing I do love about this card is that it's super easy to download, print off, and you can use it right away!

The cards are small. They are the same size as a standard business card. They do fit in your purse, or wallet easily.

 Where Card Works:

It works at all chain pharmacies. Including Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, and many more. It works at over 59,000 pharmacies nationwide. That's pretty handy!

My Experience:

I called into Walgreens and ordered my allergy medicines for the spring. One thing I did not read carefully enough was that this can not be used instead of insurance. My insurance actually covered more than the card did. Singular was free, and Nasonex was $30. I mistakenly thought that the card could be used on top of insurance to cover extra costs for prescription medicines. I did ask the pharmacist if it would save me more money if I used the card from medicationdiscountcard.com, or my health insurance? They said my health insurance saved me more.

This Card is Great Though:

I think this card is great if you A) Don't have health insurance, or B) Don't have prescription coverage on your insurance. It certainly is a great idea to have for those that fall into those categories.

You receive a 10% to 75% discount on your medication with their free prescription drug card.

There is no application, no health restrictions, no fees, and the card will never expire.

• Free Membership
• No Health Restrictions
• Use Immediately
• Easy To Use
• No Paperwork
• Unlimited Use
• Never Expires

Since health insurance is changing so much. The cost of meds are going way up, and they never come down in cost. I'm going to hold onto this card! I love that it never expires! It works at so many pharmacies to!

The Y

So I'm pretty sure Mica got his Ring Worm from the Y. In Jiu-jitsu they have sparring on the mats. My coworker had sons that wrestled. They got Ring Worm often. Really...how often do you think they clean their mats? My guess is never. I think it's common for all places to hardly clean their mats. Mica's Ring Worm spot after a week is nearly gone. There is no sign of it spreading. I was worried about Daddy and I getting it. We both touched it with coconut oil thinking it was eczema. Last night I grabbed one of their comment cards at the Y. I mentioned that they should clean their mats, and explained what class my son is in, they use the mats regularly, and that he got Ring Worm. There was a spot on the bottom to sign my name.

Would you sign your name?

Seriously it seems like every evaluation I do I get in trouble. I got called over by the head swimming lady one time because I wrote a little too much on their evaluation. Since then when they pass out evaluations I leave the room, or act too busy to fill one out. At work I got called into the boss' office once because I wrote too much on an evaluation. I wrote both good, and things they could work on. Somehow it was a sign to him that I do not like my job. I do like my job. Just like everything, we all need to work on things. Car dealerships want good evaluations. I've had companies say when I've been asked to review their products, "If you've found fault with our product, please don't write a review." I've also had others, which I like say, "We want an honest review. Please don't copy and paste verbiage on our site, and paste it on yours. We want the post to be your opinion, and your words."

Mica Practicing His Balance

Mica had trouble with the balance ball. Many of the other kids did as well. It was a good exercise.

Switching Gears 

I went to the Y to use the treadmill and lift weights. When I was in the weight room one guy kept standing and waiting for every machine I was on. I didn't even use them in order. Seriously couldn't he just use a different one, while I was on the one he wanted to use? It was awkward. Some people on Facebook mentioned, "Maybe he was hitting on you." I don't think so. He looked impatient to use the machines, and bothered by the fact that he had to bump the weight up on ever one of them.

WW: Isaak's Writing and Art {Linky}

Isaak wrote this with the class. He's five. I think his handwriting is getting much better then the start of the year.

The only mishap is "tep" is supposed to be "top".

He also created this drawing at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Dstrctd Drvng Review

I was contacted by PBS Nebraska to write a review on Dstrctd Drvng. 

NET Television will premiere Dstrctd Drvng on NET1 on Friday, February 21 at 7 pm central time. It will re-broadcast on NET1 on Sunday, February 23 at 5 pm central time and Tuesday, February 25 at 8 pm central time.

Check out the short preview of Dstrctd Drvng.

This is a 30 minute documentary, which takes an in-depth look at distracted driving in an age of cell phones and other electronic devices, and what law enforcement, safety organizations, families and others are doing to raise awareness and increase safety.

I watched a segment of the video online. It started out going over the dangers of cell phones and driving.

Whenever I drive anywhere I see someone on their cell phone. I sometimes use mine when I'm at a stop light. As soon as the light turns green I let the person go. Usually I'm checking in with Daddy. It's easy for me to say, "Talk to you later." Even though I'm at a light I shouldn't be using my phone. It gives others the wrong message. As for myself, it would be so easy to just keep talking. That's where I could run into problems.

Talking on the phone can be just as bad as drinking and driving. Some people multi-task better than others. We live in a fast paced society. We think we can get it all done, and having a phone handy is easy. Distracted drivers are 4 times at risk for getting into a crash. 

Imagine if you were in an accident due to talking on your phone. You could hurt a whole family!

30 states have outlawed texting and even talking on cell phones while driving when the premiere Dstrctd Drvng goes on air. Nebraska is one of three states to make these secondary offenses, meaning a driver can be pulled over or cited only if another traffic violation is observed. Safety experts expect the danger to increase with 300 million wireless devices already in use in America. The program gives a personal glimpse into the lives of those affected by distracted driving, and considers issues like Inattention Blindness, a cognitive condition that describes the working of the brain while it is multi-tasking.

I'm an instructor. I have problems with my students using cell phones when I'm talking daily. It's a problem in my classroom, and even more of a problem on the road. Lives are at risk on the road!

Majestical Jewelry Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I was just sent a beautiful jewelry set from Majestical! They are a high fashion online only jewelry store specializing in handmade jewelry and statement pieces. They have a lot of pearl earrings, and beaded jewelry.

The Floral Necklace Set came in a box that had the necklace, earrings, and a keepsake bag with it. It's originally $55, marked down to $28. The set is black. It will go with a lot of different things.

Here is each piece seperately. 

The earrings are fish hooks. They come with plasic backings, which is great because I have lost a few earrings that have fish hooks backings before. They are also light weight.

The necklace has a wonderful desgin. It's really pretty! The only bad thing is that once in awhile one of the pieces flips over. It to isn't heavy.

I have to say that I've gotten so many compliments on the set already! I've only worn the set three times.

They add new pieces all the time. One of my favorite pieces they have featured is the necklace below. It's so colorful and pretty! I could see it going with my Frida Kahlo costume. If they get something back in stock that looks like the necklace below I'm buying it!

So much of the jewelry on Majestical gorgeous! Do you find yourself wearing jewelry?
