  • Pure Nostalgia

    Movie/music Monday I can’t pass up my usual movie/music Monday theme today, despite having another post published already. My other post today talked about nostalgia and things I was obsessed with as a kid. The music today is not from the time when I would say I was a kid. I was more middle to… →

  • Ladies and Gentlemen…

    Flashback Friday Ladies and gentlemen…once again, Katy Perry! I haven’t been to a lot of concerts in my life. Always admired my friends who went to great shows, but somehow I never thought that I could go see great concerts. I did see New Kids on the Block one time on one of their Mix… →

  • She Knew

    Movie/music Monday I posted recently about volume 7 of my journals. At least I think I did. That volume took place over only two months of my sophomore year of high school. April and May of 1998 to be exact. I was 15 years old and for those two months, my obsession with three boys… →

  • Just Right

    Movie/music Monday I’ve added quite a few “new” songs to my “Random Awesomeness” playlist recently. I still need to go back and add in some Prince, Aerosmith, and because of a clip I saw of John Fogerty on an old Conan O’Brien episode, I feel compelled to add some Creedence Clearwater Revival to my list.… →

  • Nicolas Cage and Taylor Swift

    Movie/music Monday Usually on Saturdays, Josh and I have a conversation about what to watch that night. We try to decide between watching a new movie or something we’ve seen over and over. I had a promotional credit for Prime so we scrolled on there to find a movie this past Saturday. We settled on… →

  • Brave

    Music/movie Monday I was listening to my “inspirational” playlist in my car the other day. The song “Brave” by Sara Bareilles came up. This is one of the first songs I added to this playlist. The song came out in 2013 and even back then this song resonated with me. In fact, back then, it… →

  • Good Movie, Good Soundtrack

    Movie/music Monday Today is a combo movie and music reflection. There are certain songs that I’ve heard lately that made me want to watch a certain movie. A few months back, Josh and I rented “The Fall Guy”. It’s a movie based on the 80s tv show. It stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. I… →

  • “It’s Time To Go“

    Movie/music Monday Not a good day today. I’m concerned about the way I feel. Various doctors appointments scheduled this week to try and figure it out. Various applications submitted so that I can get hired somewhere else and eliminate my current job as a contributing factor to how I feel. In the meantime Taylor Swift’s… →

  • Music. Always.

    What makes you feel nostalgic? I’m limited on time today. I’m meeting up with an online knitting friend who is visiting family near where I live. We’re going to visit a yarn store and have lunch. I’m very excited about that. So, with my small amount of time, I’ll simply say that music makes me… →

  • Florence, Where Have You Been?!

    Music/Movie Monday I didn’t drive to Ikea today. Josh had a good point. I could go and pick up all the new shelves we’re getting for our creative space, but where would we put those big, honkin’ boxes while we fix up the room? We are going all out with this, to include painting the… →
