If you read this blog, you are my friend and you know I am all about a list. Turning 40 makes it the perfect scenario for a list…
I’m not going to add to my already stressful bucket list by doing the normal 40 things to accomplish in my 40th year. I decided to reminisce over my 40 years on this earth and pluck out a few of my faves from over the decades. Enjoy!
- Charlie’s Angels – "Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy. And they were each assigned very hazardous duties, but I took them all away from all that and now they work for me. My name is Charlie."
- MTV’s debut and jumping off the couch during Duran Duran’s The Reflex – fle fle flex!
- Schoolhouse Rock – “Conjunction Junction, What’s your function?”, “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly get your adverbs here”
- Jaws and the fact that Brian B wouldn’t take a shower to save his life that night after we watched it at my house.
- Leaving the GHS Football game early with Mrs. Benincosa to find out Who Shot J.R.
- Jordache, Sergio Valente, Gloria Vanderbilt, Calvin Klein, Izods, Polos and God bless my parents who couldn’t afford any of the above mentioned but somehow managed to keep me cool in them.
- Grease is the word! Our first movie we saw together as a family at Parkwood Cinemas.
- Bon Jovi – God knows I didn’t think I would still be craving a Jon Bon Jovi hair band concert at the age of 40! He is 50! I only pray I will feel like he does ten years from now.
- Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons all down her back, back, back
- Jams, Banana Clips, Homemade Ribbon Barrettes in green/gold for the Griffin Bears
- Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor and all it’s pomp and circumstance with the mack daddy bowls of dozens of scoops of ice cream for a birthday celebration!
- St Elmo’s Fire with a dreamy Rob Lowe and his ever so taboo dangling earring
- Barbie Styling Head (looking back on this…..it’s kind of creepy. I think I would have the heebie jeebies if I woke up and saw this staring at me…but boy did I think I was gonna take Fantastic Sam’s by storm styling and profiling)
- Donnie & Marie Osmond dolls with pink and purple shredded outfits.
