Blast to the past!

R emember when you were little? Remember when all you had to worry about was "homework"? Outlining letters on a sheet of paper? And DANG wasn't that difficult at the time? I remember I always tried to do it with my left hand cause I wanted to be a lefty. I thought "lefties" were so cool... lmao! I was such a dork! Oh! And how about report cards! I think that's the biggest worry as a kid. I remember sporadic little things like that. I remember I had this favorite shirt. It was purple with pink. It had some cartoon girl on the front and she was soooooo pretty! I wore that shirt out. I loved to wear it everytime I went to the park to show it off to all the little girls. "Look at my shirt! Isn't it pretty?" LOL! A few weeks ago, I decided to start on the task of scanning pictures I have in a big box.

I came across a picture of myself when I was in between the age of 5 and 7. It was taken one day when Mom and Dad took us to the park. I wore that very t-shirt I was talking about. I remember driving there, all excited... looking down on my shirt, pulling it from the bottom far out enough so I could admire it before we got there. It was glittery too. I remember that! And I loved when the sunlight hit it because it sparkled really pretty. I wore it with some funky pants though. They didn't match. The pants were blue. (Yes, I never matched when I was a kid) But did I care? Heck no! I had my pretty shirt on! That's all that mattered! I don't know what happened to that shirt. I'm sure I felt sad when I couldn't wear it anymore. It was my favorite!

I'm so glad that somebody took this picture of me because it brings back lots of memories... not just of that day. But of my childhood. This is why I want to take pictures of Sofia all the time. I want to be able to have them for her to look at when she grows up. I know now that I'm older, I wish I had more pictures of when I was little. Ya know? The 80's were awesome, weren't they? I would relieve them again if I could. I could say that the 80's was my favorite era so far. It's music rocked too! Here are some 80's tunes for ya to enjoy. They all remind me of my childhood one way or another. I hope it brings back memories for you too.

Hands to Heaven: I didn't even know what this song was about at the time. I hadn't suffered a loss in the family at that time but I just loved it... It was recorded onto all of my cassette tapes at the time. As an adult now and understanding the words, I LOVE THIS SONG even more!

Karma Chameleon: Oh gosh... I remember this song! If I had a movie of my life filmed, this song would definitely be in it's soundtrack!

What's Love Got To Do With It: I remember wearing those leggings and dancing in the streets like the couple did in the video. hahaha! Tina Turner rocks! I remember I used to smile and feel relieved at the end when the couple makes up. LOL! SUCH a GEEK!

Love is a Battlefield: Dude... her hair rocked, didn't it? LOL Big hair was awesome in the 80's. I kinda miss all the "Aqua Net".
