I didn't know you were a Springsteen fan, Molly - very cool. Love that The Boss "sang" at your wedding! :)

Wow, a theme lined up for next year already - that's great. Sky's the limit! Sorry I didn't land on your blog before today - but I guess I've got from May - March to catch up! :)

Cool curly post! Although my curls have relaxed a lot over time, I still stick by Ouidad, who I believe perfected the Curly Girl method. Enjoy your A to Z!

Still love this song - we play it in Spinning class and everyone starts to ride a little faster, ha ha! For all of you who now have it stuck in your heads, you might want to hop over to my E post on "earworms" to figure out how to get rid of songs that worm their way into your head! :)

I think your song video a day is a great idea, even if the official rules say no! I remember seeing other similar themes last year. Enjoy your A to Zing!

I've always been fascinated by this holiday and the beauty of sugar skulls. Thanks for including a recipe, too - I just might try to make some!

Wonderful post - you had me at "slamming his fish"! I am a stickler for facts, and deathly afraid of anachronisms. I plot madly on calendar pages when writing, just to make sure nothing gets out of control!

Miss Manners and Dear Abby were always fun reads in the local paper. My friend and I had a disagreement one time and she ended up writing to Miss Manners on the topic. My friend and I are both Jewish, but most of our college friends were not. After graduating, year after year, we all exchanged holiday cards. My friend in question would get upset when someone would send her a Christmas card with the word "Christmas" crossed out and "Hannukah", the Jewish holiday that takes place in December, written in. I told her it didn't bother me, and that their heart was in the right place. Her argument was "they are two very different holidays, the cards aren't inter-changeable, and they should spring for a separate card." Miss Manners wrote her back and told her she should be happy her friends were even sending her cards. LOL We had a good laugh over it...but my friend still thinks Miss Manners was wrong! Happy A to Z-ing!

Hmm, never thought about a space before a ? but I can see the appeal! Nice post. I feel people often let their eyes just "scan" down a long blog post (unlike reading a book from left to write) so if I really want something to stand out I:

skip a line and add my single show stopping sentence.

I think the readers tend to catch those sentences that way!
