Last night D and I were laying in the bed and were flipping through the channels and came across this infomercial from Time Life. You know the ones...well, they were going on and on about this "totally awesome" set of cd's that were filled with rock ballads. We kept watching and listening and I realized that most of the songs they were playing I loved! I grew up in the 80's & 90's but I'll always remember the 80's. Everything was so different then..at least to me. In my world everything was so innocent. I can hear a song from back then and it will help me to remember places we lived, friends I had, silly things we did, the chicken pox that I had one summer, my big bangs, the fact that I used to wear 2 different colored pairs of socks at the same time switched on each foot and many other fashion foe-pas,specific things I got for Christmas one year, the fact that I almost cut one of my toes off and had to have stitches, the beach(b/c we lived near one) and countless other memories. I just loved the 80's! So I made a playlist with some of the songs I heard last night and ones that I remembered loving. "Totally rockin' and fun times"......Anybody else have any funny 80's stories..would love to hear them! :)
Wait.....that just sounded like an infomercial didn't it? HAHAHAHA!!!
Oh & if you hover over the playlist, it will move up and down and you can click on which song you want to hear!

Ha ha! I did the socks thing too. And do you remember the ponytail on the side of the head? I saw a little girl on the playground up at SMCS this week with one of those "sidetails", as I call them, and it brought back a ton of memories! I also remember "jelly shoes" that would always get rocks in the heel of the bottom when I walked across the unpaved parking lot; and friendship bracelets; and parachute pants..oh, and culotts (if that's how you spell that)- you know, those shorts that were supposed to look like a skirt? And for us SMCS folks, I remember the crazy dress code we had.
I remember shows like "Fraggle Rock", "Webster", and the show about the little girl named Vicky who was really a robot (I can't remember the name of that show), and of course, "ALF"! "before you get up for the final snack, I want you to know, I'll be right back. HA!" I remember "Sesame Street" when Kermit was a main character, and I remember "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood", and a show called "The Electric Company" - I think.
I'm sure I could think of more, but I'll leave it at that for now. That was a fun walk down memory lane! Thanks!
ok...my whole high school life was a funny 80's story! LOL
