BLOGGER SIGHTING ....

Good morning, all.



I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Chicago's kicked into spring BIG TIME. Brightly colored flowers are popping out all over the city. Warm breezes and bright light caressed our fair city this weekend. As for today a good start, but storms plan on rolling in later today...

BUT that will not stop me from meeting up with one of my FAVORITE blogger friends and 80's Guru, Nicki Elson. Once a year we meet to celebrate our birthdays! How cool is that! We are only a few days and few years apart. LOL. But we are both Taurus' and today is the official LAST DAY of this amazing celestial sign. So the bulls will be ruling in Chicago today.

I'll be sporting my ORIGINAL 80's Rayban sunglasses as a special surprise for her. Let's see if she notices. LOL.

Wishing you all as fun an afternoon as I plan to have.

On a special note, I had just visited The Writer's Alley and Sheri Larson posted on an extremely important issue faced with m/g and y/a writers. Drop by and read her post, my jaw dropped.  There are also links to articles WE ALL NEED to be aware of, so please click here and read this post.

I plan to post more about this subject matter on Wednesday, so please pop back over here if you can.

I will probably have a few pics of my meeting with Nicki as well....

Have a great day everyone!

Sounds like fun! Birthdays should never be just one day celebrated - it should be planned out as a month of celebration (or at least a week!). :)

Hi Michael,

Again, thanks for signing up for 3 Ups!! I think the fact that you get to meet up with your blogging buddy is GREAT. Would love to do that with some of mine!!

Johanna Garth said...

That sounds like so much fun. No wonder I like both of you...my dad is a Taurus too :)

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

You and Nicki have a fun time!
Summer hit here last week. Now it's so humid...

Summer Ross said...

I would have loved to see Chicago spring when I was there last year! Sighs...

Have a great afternoon!

Hope it's a great birthday lunch for the two of you!

Please do show pix, I love photos. Taurus types can be 'bull-headed' but they can also be loyal to a fault.

Happy birthday and happy celebrating in Chicago.

Mark Means said...

I hope you guys have a great b-day celebration and say "howdy" to Nicki for me :)

Roland D. Yeomans said...

Give Nicki a wink from me and Victor will you? Have a great birthday lunch, too.

Wish me luck, Michael. Today THE BEAR WITH 2 SHADOWS came out on audio today. What if Hibbs speaks, and no one listens? Scary time.

LD Masterson said...

I celebrated my birthday a couple weeks ago with my Dad. Same day! I hope you and Nicki have as much fun celebrating as we did.

Morgan said...

Yay for pics! I want to see these original 80's glasses! LOL!

And I saw on the news this morning that the storm was going to hit Chicago... You be safe, Michael!!!!

L. Diane Wolfe said...

You and Nicki have a grand time!

Michael Offutt, Phantom Reader said...

Have a great meet up.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Sounds like a fun get together. I think PA skipped spring and jumped right into summer.

Anonymous said...

Have a great time and enjoy yourselves......I'm a bull also.

I hope you have a great time and that the terrible storms pass you by.

My sister is a Taurus :)

Curious about the info...heading over. Thanks for the head's up!

And Happy Birthday :)

Natalie Aguirre said...

You're right. Sheri's post was awesome.

Have fun celebrating your birthday with Nick. Awesome it's an annual event.

Dana said...

Thanks for dropping by my blog today! You all made my day. :)

Sounds like you were set for a wonderful day. I hope it was a great one!

Tammy Theriault said...

since your quite the buff man, can you do total 80's and sport those short short running shorts too???

dolorah said...

I hope you had a good visit. I'll stop by Sheri's too.

Hi Michael - Happy Birthday to you both .. and enjoy having fun in Chicago in the Spring ...

Looking forward to the report-back! Also I'll pop over and read Sheri's post ..

Cheers Hilary

Robyn Campbell said...

What fun, Michael! I hope you had fun celebrating. That is so cool that it's an annual thing. Now that's positive!

P.S. I saw what Sheri wrote and was disgusted. Everyone should read that blog post. Late happy birthday. xoxo

How nice it is to see a blogger friend face to face! I don't remember much about how Ray Bans looked like in the '80s, but I remember this sunglasses trend where the ear pieces were all in bright neon colors.

Sounds like you had a great time. Yay for you and Nicki!

I personally hate this weather and wish that we could keep 50's and 60's all through summer. At least we turned our air on, thank God. I though I was going to die each time I stepped outside during that Africa hot weather we had.
