I am putting my Thanksgiving theme up now lest I forget in all the hubbub of getting ready for tomorrow. Because I’m not an expert at css, it may look weird to you – I haven’t looked at it on internet explorer and I know IE sometimes does bizarre things to code. Anyway, if the text is on top of the left border, just stretch your window out a bit more and it should fix itself. Sorry I’m not better at figuring this stuff out yet, but it will only be up a couple of days anyway.

Flashback Friday is taking the week off since I figure everyone is going to be too busy with holiday guests and shopping and decorating to want to play anyway. But it will be back next week, so don’t forget!

It’s Friday. And I’m especially glad because my husband has no band gigs this weekend so we can actually have some fun. But, the topic this week is not so fun – it’s stitches and plaster casts and anesthesia – childhood injuries and surgery. Or if you’re one of the lucky ones who never had any of those as a child you can talk about your kid’s booboos or silly stuff you did when you were grown up. And if you don’t have any stories at all to share, I’ve got a little snake out in the yard to keep you company. JUST KIDDING! So, please leave your comment or trackback so we can all commiserate together. (Read on …)

In honor of A, Theresa’s very brave daughter, this week’s theme asks you to remember a time when you had a broken bone or had to get stitches or maybe had an operation (hopefully nothing worse than a tonsillectomy) as a child. If you’re one of the lucky few and that never happened to you (personally? I have a whole smorgasbord to choose from), then feel free to write about your child’s experience or any experience you might have had as an adult. And if you have never experienced any of those things as a child, an adult, or a parent? Well, you are one lucky dude or dudette and you need to bottle your karma and sell it on the internet.

As always, remember to leave your link in a comment or a trackback on Friday. In the meantime, send all your feel better soon thoughts to Miss A!

I can’t wait to read all the Flashback Friday stories of your first kiss! Whether it was perfect or not so hot, post ‘em, then come back here and leave the link in a comment or send a trackback!

Lest I forget, and I sorta did, but not…the theme of the week this week is brought to us by Theresa (who has brand new digs so go check ‘em out!)…and the theme is….drum roll please….First Kiss! You remember don’t you? Was it the everything you dreamed it would be? Or did it leave a lot to be desired? Whatever the case, Friday is the day to post your stories, then come back here and leave a comment with the link to yours or send a trackback. I can’t wait!

Okay y’all (I’m feel the drawl overtaking me as I think of all the Texans in my family tree), post your stories, leave your comments or trackback and we’ll all have fun learning about each other’s comfort foods. Whee!

(Read on …)

No, of course I didn’t forget! I was just really busy yesterday! And, umm…well…yeah, honestly, I forgot. Oops. But never fear! I remembered finally! So this week’s theme is food. Not just any food but comfort food. Was there a meal that you got on special occasions? Was there a certain food your mom would make you when you were sad or sick? Was there a special dish that only Grandma made the right way? Whatever the case, think about your favorite comfort food or foods and tell us what makes them so very special. Post it in your blog or in the comments on Friday and then leave a comment here to tell us where to find it or send a trackback. I can’t wait to hear your stories! :D

This week’s theme comes to us from Theresa’s husband Mike. Thanks Mike! And if you have a theme suggestion for Flashback Friday, send it to me at flashbackfriday at three-part-harmony dot com and hurry cuz I’m running out of ideas!

Okay, it’s that time again. Yep it’s payday. Oh, wait, I don’t get paid anymore. Well fine, then I’ll just have to make do with Flashback Friday. This week? Halloween…..spooooooky. Tell us your crazy/spooky/funny/weird/wacky Halloween stories. Then post a comment or send a trackback so we can all go read them and howl at the moon!

Now where’s that picture of Mike in the dress….. (Read on …)

You know what’s coming don’t you? Of course you do! After all, if there’s a holiday, we may as well take advantage of it. Okay dear readers, on Flashback Friday post your Halloween stories. And I’m not gonna be picky. You can use stories about your kids, yourself when you were young, or even yourself when you were all grown up. Something funny. Something scary. Something crazy. Something weird and unbelievable. Something to entertain us on this weekend before the big day because our kids (okay not mine because she’s too little to get it yet) are probably driving us crazy with their anticipation. So, on Friday, post your lovely anecdotes and then come back here and leave a comment with your link or send a trackback. We await your tales of terror and torment with baited breath.

Sorry everyone! I had a few little dramas last night (nothing to worry about) that distracted my attention and I forgot to get the thread starter up before I went to bed. I’ll get my post up later, but here you go so you can post your links and send your trackbacks in the meantime!

UPDATE: Okay, my post is finally up. Hurray! (Read on …)

Since today is someone’s birthday who has something to do with this blog, I thought that birthdays would be an appropriate topic for the week. Therefore, think of anything to do with a past birthday, a party, a gift, whatever, good, bad, or crazy, and write about it on Friday. Then don’t forget to come back here and leave a comment with a link or send a trackback. Hurray for birthdays!

Okay, people, it’s FRIDAY!!! Yay!!! Although I don’t know why I’m excited because it means my husband will go to work and leave me alone with the child all day and all night. So yeah, yay Friday. :P

Anyway, yay Flashback Friday at least! It’s your turn. ‘Fess up. Tell us about when you burned the roast beef when your future in-laws came over or how you forgot to put the yeast in the bread and it never rose or how you mistook the salt for the sugar or vice versa and had a very interestingly flavored dish. Not that I did any of those things. I didn’t! Really! But maybe YOU did or worse or funnier or better! So, write your post and then come back here and leave a comment or send a trackback and we’ll all come over to your blog and laugh at you commiserate with you over the great meal that wasn’t or at least almost wasn’t. Okay, get out of here and blog people! BLOG!!! Wait! Read my post first and then blog! Thank you! :D

In honor of the fact that Theresa has started a Weekend Recipe Exchange, this week’s theme is Cooking Disasters or Could Have Been Disasters. I’m sure we’ve all had a moment in the kitchen where we wanted to run away and hide or at least thought we might need to. So, share your crazy cooking moment with us on Friday by leaving a comment or sending a trackback and don’t forget to share a recipe this weekend over at Flying Piggies.

And if you have a fantastic, wonderful or even crazy idea for a theme for Flashback Friday, be sure to email me at flashbackfriday @ three-part-harmony dot com. My little Flashback Friday folder is very lonely!!!

Okay people, time to post your dating stories. Don’t forget to leave a comment with the link here or send a trackback so we can all go read everyone else’s stories. And steal that cute little button on the sidebar and put it in your blog post too so we can get more people to join us. Because, after all, everyone loves cute little buttons!

Okay, my sentimental side wanted to do a pet theme this week, but my self-preservation side won out. We will do one at some point, but I think I need some more space before I read pet stories. So, instead, we’ll try a different type of animal. This week’s Flashback Friday theme will be: DATING! So, think of your favorite dating story, whether it be your first date, your worst date, your funniest date, your most romantic…whatever! It’s all up to you! Then post your comment here or send a trackback so we can all go read your stories. And don’t forget to steal that cool little button on the sidebar and use it!
