I saw this over at pelf-ism is contagious blog and I thought it was cute. She left it open to use, so I wasn’t tagged specifically for it, I just thought it was cool.

1. Go to PopCulture.
2. On the left column, pick the year you turned 18 years old.
3. Get nostalgic over the songs.
4. Write about the songs.
5. Pass this to 5 other friends.

The year I turned 18, it was 1983, and I was a senior in high school ready to get the hell out! Here are the top 15 songs of that year. Some I loved, and some I hated. And some I have never even heard of.

1. It’s Raining Men - The Weather Girls (Isn’t this the gay anthem?)
2. Come On Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners (Loved it,and I still listen to it this day)
3. Flashdance (What A Feeling) - Irene Cara (Stupid song - stupid movie)
4. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (Hated it)
5. Wanna Be Starting Something - Michael Jackson (Hated it)
6. Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant (Catchy tune)
7. Rock The Casbah - The Clash (Loved it!)
8. Bang The Drum All Day - Todd Rundgren (Loved it!)
9. You and I - Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle (I don’t even remember this song)
10. Ain’t Nobody - Rufus and Chaka Khan (I don’t remember this either)
11. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey (Loved it!)
12. Kiss The Bride - Elton John (What is this song? Never heard of it)
13. Let’s Go Dancin’ (Ooh La, la, La) - Kool and the Gang (Good rollerskating song)
14. **1999** - Prince (Loved it!)
15. I Melt With You - Modern English (Loved it!)

It’s that time again for Cass’s Self Portrait Sunday. My hand was too shaky to do this on my own, so Michael had to do it. I guess it’s really not a self portrait now is it?

The couch has been where I hang out during the day. We put a sheet over it, with lots of comfy pillows, and I can be close to Michael while he’s at his desk working during the day. It’s been nice. I wish he always worked from home. I love having him here.

I ventured outside for the first time in a week to get the mail. The mailman must have been on crack yesterday, and not able to read the yard markers because he put mail in my box, for three of my neighbors!

Angie at Angs Chicken Coop tagged me for this meme. The rules are as follows:

• 1. Link to the name of the person who tagged you.
• 2. Include the state and country you’re in.
• 3. List your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location (locally).
• 4. Tag 5 other people (preferably from other countries/states) and let them know they’ve been tagged.

Here are my answers:

I live in Henderson, NV which is a suburb of Las Vegas. There are certainly no shortage of restaurants to eat around here.

1. Outback Steakhouse…they are all over the country, but we love this place. We have made so many friends with the servers and bartenders there, that it’s always a fun place to go.

2. Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar…we don’t get here as often as we would like to, but it is an awesome place to eat Tapas. The atmosphere is perfect with really great sound machines playing soothing sounds, and the pitchers of Mojito’s are yummy!

3. California Pizza Kitchen…The Tostada pizza is to die for!

4. In N Out Burger…I know I have mentioned this place a gazillion times, but it is just THAT good. Don’t forget to check out the Secret In N Out menu before you go. None of this stuff is on the menu, but they will know what it is when you order it.

5. Blueberry Hill…there are several locations around the Las Vegas valley, and Henderson. This is by far the best place to eat breakfast at.

I think everyone I know has been tagged for this, so this is a free for all. If you want to write it on your blog, just link back to this post. Thanks, and have fun!

I know a lot of you do Wordless Wednesday, so I thought I would ask for some help with it. I signed up, and have been actively doing the meme for three weeks. (I did forget yesterday though - oops). I also put the blogroll on all three of my blogs immediately.

Why am I still not included on the blogroll? Does anyone know? And if anyone has any pull over there, can you get me listed? LOL!

Thanks in advance!
