Mothers Day is Sunday, so if you haven’t purchased your cards or flowers yet you better get on the ball. Your mom may not live up to your expectations of June Cleaver or Carol Brady, but most of them do the best they can and let’s face it, you probably weren’t exactly Pollyanna. So this week’s Friday Five honors MOTHERS.
- What’s the most important lesson you learned from your mom?
- What’s one thing you WISH your mom would’ve told you?
- Who is your favorite mother and daughter from fiction?
- What woman who is not your mother has had the biggest influence in your life?
- In what ways have you turned into your mother?

This weekend kicks off Memphis in May with the Beale St. Music Festival. This year’s line up includes Sheryl Crow, The Roots and The Black Crowes. Are you going? I’ve lived in Memphis since 1986 but I’ve never attended a Music Fest. Frankly, I’m not that fond of crowds. Or mud. Come to think of it, the closest I’ve ever come to an outdoors concert experience was when I saw Harry Connick Jr. at the Mud Island Amphitheater. Which, can I just say, the only thing that could’ve made that performance any better would’ve been if it had been at our wedding reception. Mine & Harry’s. Because I do love that man.
But in honor of Music Fest, this week’s Friday Five obviously must be a music edition.
- What was your first concert experience?
- What was the first album/tape/CD you bought for yourself?
- What live performance stands out in your mind most?
- What’s your most recent music discovery?
- Who would you stand in the rain and the mud to see live?
Leave your Friday 5 in the comments. My Friday 5 after the jump.
Years ago when I first started blogging, back when there was maybe only tens of thousands instead of tens of millions of blogs on the interweb, there was this thing that went around called the Friday Five. Now I guess there are lots of different Friday 5’s so I guess no one can really lay claim to it anymore. Which is why I’m horking it as my own with no guilt whatsoever.
Since I’ve been thinking a lot about JOBS and EMPLOYMENT lately, I will introduce this week’s Friday Five with a vocation theme. Please leave your answers in the comments section.
- When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
- What was your first job?
- Did you ever have a job where you had to wear a uniform? What was that like?
- What was your most unusual, unconventional or extraordinary job?
- What is one job that you hope to NEVER have to do again as long as you live?
