Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

You're invited!

It's my birfday yo!  Time to par-tay!  I'm talkin' Caroline violating Jake Ryan's house and Donger ending up on the lawn kind of celebration.


Okay, maybe not that big.  Man did 80's movies ruin my expectations for life!  Anyhoo...

Problem is I need to add some songs to my playlist.

Add the name of your favorite song to dance to in the comments!

    Happy Birthday!

    80'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 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.

    Happy Birthday!!

    I 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.

    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!

    Happy 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.

    Have a fabulous weekend!
