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… →

Obsessions and Nostalgia
There are so many memories that I have of things that I was madly in love with when I was a kid. And by “things”, I mean movies, music, and as my husband quickly pointed out…people. I’ll start with actual things. I had a couple of authentic Cabbage Patch Kids and I was certainly a… →

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… →

Music/Movie Monday—A Christmas Story
With this being the last Monday before Christmas, I feel compelled to share my favorite part of the movie “A Christmas Story”. It is my absolute favorite Christmas movie and I truly think it’s one of those “you just had to be there” kind of movies. I’m pretty sure my supervisor at work hasn’t seen… →

5Ws Wednesday—Why all the nostalgia?
I am very much a person who experiences nostalgia frequently. In fact, I have a playlist that’s labeled “high school nostalgia”. I started adding songs to it so that when I’m working on my book, which relies heavily on transcribing old journals, I can get deeper into my feelings by listening to the music of… →

Writing Proof
As a follow up to my earlier post about procrastinating on working on my book, I would just like to share this “proof of life/writing” post. I have spent the past 2 to 3 hours working on it. I listened to my “high school nostalgia” playlist while I worked: And I noticed myself making this… →

90s TV Nostalgia
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? TV shows when I was a kid is a great topic! I like this one today. For the most part, the movies I watched as a kid were definitely not something kids should have been watching. I was just barely over the GenX age limit and… →

Did I ever tell you…(part 4)
Yesterday, a comment exchange on a fellow blogger’s post (Hi Tracie!) led me to think about my days in band. So, with that said, did I ever tell you that I used to play the trumpet? When I lived in Georgia, the transition to middle school had me picking out a band instrument. Nobody made… →

We Listen and We Don’t Judge
What is your favorite genre of music? My middle school students asked me one time what my favorite song is. I asked them to be more specific. Like, what is my favorite country song? Or what is my favorite pop song? My favorite song from the 90s? Boy band song? Rap? They were insistent that… →
