Melissa in the Morning

I know there are days your alarm clock goes off and you just can't find a way to make yourself get up and go to work. There are even some days we are tempted to take a fake sick day.

So remember back in the day when school wouldn't start until after Labor Day? Yeah, those days are long gone. It started to seem though that school would start earlier and earlier each year.

This time of year we are still in the mindset for the most part of trying to lose some of that holiday weight. I mean it's hard not to put it on that time of year. There is food everywhere.

We are getting closer to being a month into our 2020 New Year's Resolutions. How are you still doing? Are you kicking butt in the New Year or have you hit some rough patches.

I'm looking to eat healthier and lose a few pounds here in 2020. The part that is the toughest for me is lunchtime. I don't have a lot of time. I don't want to spend a lot of money. I want a good meal though.

This may be the hardest list to do. I mean I covered my favorites from the 80's no problem. I covered the 90's yep got it. Each of those time periods only covered ten years. I feel the next category of music from now can really cover anywhere from 2000 until now.

Let's face it some days are good. Some are great. Oh and then there are those days we wonder why we even got out of bed. We all have them. We have days, weeks, months and even years.

As we approached 2020 a lot of people think of resolutions. Some people want to get healthier. Other's want a healthier bank account. They resolve to get out of debt. Some people want to give up alcohol.

Alright so I took you back to my youth and shared my favorite songs from the 80's. The time of jams and swatch watches....back when Cabbage Patch kids lead to hysteria oh and don't forget those old metal lunchboxes we all had. Now it's time to move onto the 90's. These were the y…

Nothing ruins a weekend more than worrying about the work week ahead of us. Sometimes it is just the dread of having to worry about the work load you may be facing.

Whether you want to just take a trip down memory lane with me or maybe judge me a little. I'm OK with that. I will let you in a little and see and hear some of my favorite songs from the 1980's.

Aches and pains are a part of life. Especially as we get older. Anything can cause them from overexerting yourself at work or home....to just sleeping wrong. Doing something nice for someone else can help.

I mean as far as Texas justice goes I am not so sure about this one. It's been an up and down battle. The Thomas Michael Dixon case, of course is what I am talking about.

If you have been out to Townsquare Village recently you may have noticed that AirU is no more. Not to worry because they have Amp'd up for 2020. Yes, they have changed their name and added some fun-ness.

Who is with me? Getting older can be a pain in the. Well everything. It seems every day another body part hurts. I feel I can't be alone. Really I don't.

It's like a dream come true. Cheese? Yes! Macaroni? Yes please! Oh and anything you can dream of to add to it! Is your mouth watering already? Mine is. I love some mac and cheese.

I am so glad I am not one that has massive allergies. I could not even imagine being allergic to something I love. My daughter has a friend who is allergic to chicken. Chicken! So she can't have Chick-fil-a. I mean how cruel is that?

So let me just tell you I have tried the Best Maid Pickle Beer. It is GOOD. Especially if you like pickle juice. My daughter came to town for Thanksgiving and all she really wanted was to try the pickle beer.

Here we are in 2020 and maybe one of your New Years Resolutions is to find a way to be less stressed. I mean that would be great for your life. Right?

This is a great time of the year for a lot of Randall County student's who have been working so hard. It is time for the 72nd Randall County Junior Livestock Show.
