Good-bye to you my fabulous friends!

It's been a lot of fun sharing my memories of the 80s and ranting about life in general, but life has gotten busy and my writing career needs to take more of a priority. (Gosh, sorry about that mile long sentence!) I didn't want to disappear into thin air without saying good-bye to all of you. I will still have my writing blog at www.findingthewritemoment.blogspot.com

Thanks again for reading my rants and leaving comments and making me laugh! It's been a totally awesome ride!!!

Big Wheels, Pound Puppies and Thunder Cats - oh my!

Boomtown Rats - Up All Night

Don't know why I kept singing this song all day. I never was a big Boomtown Rats fan. Here is the video for you. Come to think of it, my "80s taste" have changed over the years. I used to hate Tears for Fears but now I like them. Any bands that have changed for you?

Oh baby!

I don't consider Adam Ant to be a guilty pleasure; he is just pure pleasure. This man has my vote for the most beautiuful man of the 1980s. Who would you vote for? I remember putting the stripe make-up on my face and wearing the "romantic" clothes. Is it wrong for a 40 year old woman to still swoon?

Guilty pleasures of the 80s - Hall and Oates

Okay, I admit it; even when I was listening to punk rock I was still listening to Hall and Oates. I love these guys. When I went to youtube to get a video I had the hardest time picking one out because there is not one song I don't like. Admit it, you liked them too! My husband and I went to see them in concert a few years ago and they just blew us away. I came away from that concert with no voice. I sang every single song, even the new ones they played (I just made up words). Enjoy the video! More guilty pleasures from the 80s are coming soon.

Oh ho ho it's magic, you know...

Sorry guys, I'm a sucker for this stuff. Don't tell me you won't be trying at least one of these tricks after you watch the video!

I've got a brand new pair of roller skates...

Yep, I bought me some wheels this weekend and tested them out in the garage. It wasn't pretty, I admit, but I didn't fall and bust my butt. It was a lot of fun. I turned on our boom box out in the garage and skated around and around in circles. Honest, it was fun! My fellow 80s cohert, 80smom, and I have big plans this week to go skating out in the neighborhood armed with our 80s music (I wonder which one of us will carry the boom box on her shoulder). There will be a camera to document this occassion, mainly for insurance purposes for when we both have to go to the Emergency Room. I'm sure you'll see the pics on both our blogs.

so...does anyone know where I can get those cool pom poms to hang off my skate laces?
