My life seems to be a re-run of growing up in the 80s. I’m on summer vacation, or that’s what it feels like. I just have chores I have to do.. you know like clean the whole house, do laundry and cook then wash dishes.
Sitting at home, with no car, watching birds fly by outside, listening to big hair band music.
That’s really what I’ve been doing.
I got to thinking about things I used to do on summer vacation, and how I have reverted right back to it now.
I made mud pies, I’ve kinda done that in the garden and planting seeds.
Staying out until dark, I stay out on the balcony until dark everynight.
Staying up late watching tv, I have been binge watching netflix at night tv is much cooler now knowing that I don’t have to watch commercials, but, I do miss shows like married with children and clarissa explains it all. Instead of watching Married with children I’m watching sons of anarchy for the second time, with Peg/Gemma.
I have even broke out the throwback nintendo and got pissed off at the second world on mario brothers. :))
I did find on youtube that they have rainbow brite episodes….
all I need now is some jelly shoes and I’ll be all ready to go!
I really took about an hour trying to remember the last time I saw my Alf doll.. Man I wish I still had that joker!
I do miss the nikelodeon shows like double dare and you can’t do that on television.
Oh and Satuday Mornings with Pee Wee Herman. Oh my god, I remember my brother and I used to try to guess the word of the day every time while eating our good old fashioned box cereal.
I remember eating cereal and reading the container because it was the only thing to do.
and the struggle of re-winding vhs tapes before bringing them back to blockbuster!!
or calling the radio station because you wanted to hear that song one more time, and this time catch it so you could record it. Ahhhh the good old days.
yesterday, I was watering the plants. and listening to the radio and a song came on that reminded me of my life before, it was the Animals “we gotta get out of this place”.
I used to sing that song to the dogs all the time, damn near every day.
We gotta get out of this place
If it’s the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
’cause girl, there’s a better life for me and you
This song could have been the theme song for my life before. and now there is a better life, and I’m living it.
