throwback thursday

While watching the Apaches get ready to bring home a National title last night a fellow fan introduced himself to me and asked if my boyfriend had dragged me out to the game or if I was a baseball fan. I smiled and replied, "I'm a baseball fan. I grew up playing softball."

Throwback Thursday — or #TBT, as it’s commonly referred — has become a social media favorite. The fad caught on like wildfire, and now it’s impossible to scroll through Twitter, Instagram or Facebook without seeing friends, family members and our favorite celebrities sharing old school memories.

It's been nearly twelve years since I graduated high school. I don't recall how to work complex algebraic equation or molecular equations, but almost daily I apply the life lessons that I learned from the incredible teachers and staff at White Oak High School.

Most kids decide at some point that they are going to run away, some get to the end of the block and some take it a bit further. My efforts, unbeknownst to my family at the time foreshadowed my career.

The boy bands have been back in the news lately, so I thought today is a perfect day to look back on my favorite boy band, *NSYNC, at the height of their popularity.

Happy Easter! Hopefully your office has given you the day off tomorrow in observance of Good Friday, and you'll be able to enjoy an extra day off. Here's an Easter memory from my childhood.

Searching through the archives here at the radio station, I ran across something I did nearly 15 years ago while working on a morning show with two very talented people. The following happened around Easter in 1999 while I was a part of "Jake, Janna and Lucky Larry in the Morning on Mix 107.3".

Next month the 50th volume in the Now That's What I Call Music! U.S. series will be released. It's hard for me to believe there have now been 50 of these albums. I distinctly remember when the first one was released in 1998. What was on it?

Have you cast your vote yet for the 2014 Cutie Patootie? Round 1 of voting has begun! Since I can't vote or sway opinions, I thought I would inspire you to vote with a Throwback Thursday photo of my own.

The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show discussed their favorite songs to add to a unified Spring Break Road Trip playlist this morning, and it inspired me to share my own.

With all the backlash Miley Cyrus has been receiving in response to wild performances on her Bangerz World Tour, I thought today would be a great opportunity to look back on her Disney channel days.

Remember Blossom, Six and Joey's Whoa? In a totally different context, the word 'six' came up in a conversation today between Lucky Larry and myself when he referenced Six from the television show Blossom, which of course made me go 'Whoa!'
