Heart on My Sleeve

Name That Tune Soldiers On . . . .

Great job, again, Brooke.  Score update will come after next correct guess, which will be from these lyrics:

I ain't no puzzle piece that needs to fit

Natalie Rocks!

Ok, so now Natalie is up to 2.5 - plus she has won a sweet little prize from me for noticing my name change - so if I'm on your blogroll, change it up!  AND, as if she wasn't on a roll already, she had a birthday this week - hope it was a great one, Natalie!

New Lyrics are:

slowing down i look around and i am so amazed
i think about the little things that make life great

Name That Tune Hint #1

Ok, so this null and voids the extra .5 point, but it looks like you guys need a jump start.

  This song came out in the 80's.

Go.

Good job, Brooke

And on to the next:

This is my four leaf clover
In my minds eye

This one means something to me that I"ll share.  The song doesn't remind me of anything in particular, but these particular lyrics do.  My Grandma can find a 4-leaf clover from a mile away - she used to send them to us and look for them with us.  She's truly one of my best friends (and always has been) in the world and I adore her.  She has the best attitude about life, and is truly one of the funniest, sweetest and supportive people I have ever met.  Ava's middle name is her maiden name and I think of her everyday.  Lately, my Papa has been under the weather and Grandma has been taking care of him, even though she herself was sick over the last few months.  I would give anything to be there with them and to help them feel better.  I saw the 4 leaf clover lyrics and knew they had to be the next I posted . . .

xoxo (I also learned that from Grandma:)   )

Name That Tune Score Update

So far, here is the current tally:

Natalie:  1.5

Rachel:  1.5

Chris:  1.5

Also, Natalie, I am aware that I owe you a little special something for noticing my blog name change!   Thank you so much for playing along.

And without further ado, here are the next lyrics:

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed

Hope you all have a happy and safe Independence Day.  Please say a prayer and thanks to all our troops who are working for us today and who have worked for us in the past. 

I'm inspired to take some pictures this week, so I hope to have some to share in the next day or two.

Keep those tune guesses coming!

Kudos to Rach!

Ok, so obviously my sister and I are wiser than our years . . . .  I mean how cool is it that a 27 year old knew the lyrics to some old school Billy Joel?  Thanks, Daddy.  Here's the third set:

"The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
All the kids playing out front"

Here's to a Happy Fourth of July week to you all!

Setting the Pace - Name That Tune #2

Congratulations, Natalie!  I was surprised to hear such a fast response on that one - especially since no one knew G. Love last time!  Here are the next set of lyrics:

If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way

Have fun!

Brooke Wins!

Way to go, Brooke!  I need to upgrade my version of itunes and as soon as I do (sometime this afternoon) I'll send you your$5 gift card (I'm hoping to just transfer funds from mine to yours, if that's possible) to the itunes web site!  If that doesn't work, I'll email you and we'll do it another way. 

Thanks so much for playing!

A new round will appear shortly, so stay tuned!

Also, in related news, I will be adding a new section to my sidebar - music I'm listening to.  It will not however, serve as a reference for my Name That Tune challenges - those will still be random as ever - most of the time!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday.

Without further ado

"Even her shadow has grace"

Same rules still apply - for details see archives.  Old scores are still good. 

Trends

So, by reader trends (yes, I can see that stuff) I see that "Name That Tune" is a very popular thing here at Nene's Bloggish.  I kind of got discouraged months ago when no one recognized G. Love, and since no one commented on or hounded me about it, I figured no one was reading.  So, speak up!  Let me hear you!  For Brooke and Courtney's sake, I will continue (or restart, shall I say?) until someone wins - as they do deserve a reward for their loyalty!  If you don't know what I'm talking about, please search the archives and catch up - if I see it getting some action, I'm all for continuing the game.  New lyrics WILL be posted tomorrow. (Monday)

While I've got your attention, what do you think about me changing my name from "Nene's Bloggish" to "Heart on My Sleeve"?   (Which also happens to be the name of my Etsy shop that is about to go public!)  Minor change to most of you, I know, but I don't want to officially do anything and screw up a good thing as far as my blog is concerned.  (I've grown quite accustomed to you all!)  So, please - comment, if you will.

P.S.  I still need to know how to make a banner.  Save me the research, will you?  :)
