Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteRemember a day by Pink Floyd. Have fun. (no_snow_body) happy Birthday..ok it is more like my song this year
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDelete80's movies totally ruined my expectations as well.
I'm sure all my old standbys are already on you playlist, but lately I've been really liking a band called Flogging Molly. Who can resist a jig?
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI have tons of songs on my list but currently I can't sit still when 'Firework' by Katy Perry comes on.
Happy Birthday! Love the pic. One of my fave movies too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday here too! I really don't dance too often - no rhythm and LOTS of self consciousness. BUT I do take a Latin Hip Hop dancey class at my gym which I love. My favorite song in that class right now is Jennifer Lopez - On the Floor. We do some really fun skatey type move back and forth on the floor which is super fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI have just realized I have a bunch of 80's & 90's music on my ipod. There is a lot of new stuff that let's me get to groovin', BUT my feet just won't behave when John Mellencamp's "Hurts So Good" comes on.
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday from another teen of the 80s!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have an amazing year!
You know, last night as I was sweating my arse off on the elliptical, I noticed that I had a minute or so left on the timer...then "Gonna Make you Sweat" by C&C Music Factory popped up on Pandora and I just HAD to go past my set time...I immediately thought of you! Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday girlie!!! Okay, one of my absolute favorite dance like nobody is watching all out abandon songs is The Dirt Whispered by Rise Against. If you are looking for something more conventional, then in the 80's vibe - Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode. Always makes me happy to dance away!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You've been talking 80's, so I'm thinking Rock This Town by the Stray Cats. I think I spent a lot of time on the dance floor to that one back in the day.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!
Thanks so much to everyone for the birthday wishes! Hope you're enjoying the playlist, I'm enjoying the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have big digging Nickleback for when I walk on the treadmill/elliptical.
Anyway - hope you had a FABULOUS and WONDERFUL birthday (and birthday weeknd! ;) )
Happy birthday girlie!!! I hope you had a wonderful day :) Love that movie!
