This is my 100th post.

And I sure wish it were noteworthy.  But it's not.   My blog is called McRamblings for a reason.  I tend to ramble and not say anything of consequence.  But then, you knew that, especially if you've been with me for all 100 posts.

I just wanted to tell you that I got up at 5 this morning (not unusual) and immediately dug into the boys' algebra book (that's the unusual part).  This semester's algebra book is set up this way:  two worksheets that the class does together to explain the technique, then several problems to reinforce the technique. I studied the technique so I could teach it...then couldn't stop until I'd solved all the problems.  I love a good puzzle...and I could have went on, but ran out of problems.

I'm just weird that way.  :-)

Have a good weekend, my friends.

15 Random Things You Never Needed to Know About Me

Here's a partial list that I saw on Amber's blog.  I so stole it from ya, girly!  She did 45 random things.  I will do the other 30 another time.  If I don't forget.  I'm doing a lot of forgetting lately.

1. What is your name spelled backwards?   M-A-P   Pretty clever, eh? 

2. What did you do last night?  Lounged around all evening...being lazy.  Daughter and I watched "Sleepless in Seattle".   :-)

3. What was the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?  Music

4. Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery? WHY would I do THAT!?!?!?  No.

5. When was the last time you swam in a pool?  The last time we were in Florida.  What...three years ago?  There are no pools at the campgrounds we vacation at--only lakes.

6. What are you wearing?  Comfy clothes--a big blue long-sleeve t-shirt and blue lounge pants.  Oddly enough, blue is one of my least favorite colors.

7. How many cars have you owned? Ummm...5..maybe 6.  I can't remember.

8. What is the type of music you dislike most?  Anything with disrespectful/rude lyrics.

9. Are you registered to vote?   You betcha!

10. Do you have cable? Nope. Good thing, too--looks like they've made the news over this Awards ceremony.  Watch out--cable price will be on the rise.

11. What kind of computer do you use? A plain black Asus.

12. Have you ever made a prank phone call? Who, me?  And tarnish my halo? 0:-)  (DON'T SAY A WORD, CINDY!)

13. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? Neither. I'm afraid of heights!

14. What is the furthest place you ever traveled? Hawaii.  Mom and Dad dragged me there when I was 15.  I sooooo didn't want to go....and I sooooo didn't want to come home.  Had a fab time.  Thanks for the memories, Mom and Dad!!!  Sorry I was such a teenage snot about the whole thing. Now that I have teenagers of my own, I see just how rude and self-centered they can be.

15. What's your favorite comic strip? Baby Blues


BTW, I had to turn the comments off.  T.R.O.L.L.S. are among us.

I have a confession to make.

I love to watch old musicals.  There, I said it.

Some of my favorites (in no particular order) are:
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Kiss Me Kate
Sound of Music
Annie Get Your Gun
Calamity Jane
These are a few of the movies I could watch over and over again.

And then there are the ones I like to watch on occasion. Like:
Fiddler on the Roof
My Fair Lady
Grease
Mame
Royal Wedding
Holiday Inn
White Christmas

But then, we don't usually have time to watch movies, so all of them are watched on occasion.  LOL 

Who wants to come over for a movie night?  I'll provide the popcorn.  :-)

My name is Pam and I'm a font-aholic.

I love fonts.  What are fonts, you ask?  Fonts are typeface...and you can change them to suit your mood.  I love that.
When I'm designing a new header for the blog or a newsletter or just about anything, I search through my large collection of fonts to choose just the right one to convey the message.  I have fonts that make you think "Western" or "Beach" or "Childish" when you see them--before you even read the words.  I love that about fonts.
Sadly, I can name the fonts they use on billboards and advertisements.  If I can't name it, it will drive me crazy until I find it.  I know!  I need a life.
I love the gentle, romantic swoop some fonts have.  And the crisp, clean lines of others.  And still others with uneven, carefree elements call to me.
I know there are other font-aholics out there. Why else would there be so many websited dedicated to fonts?  But for those of you who are not, I'm betting you're sorry you read this post and are thinking, "Well, that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back."
I'm sorry.  I'm just being me.  :-)
