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.  (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...

New kicks and alternate soundtrack

Today is our Friday.  Woot!  Gotta love an extended weekend!

Yesterday I got my new kicks  (affiliate link) 


I know...super boring to most.  Well I like it that way thankyaverymuch!  I hate these bright colored mesh pieces of crap that I have to pay $120 for and feel like I have zero support in the actual shoe.  I'm not a runner so I don't need my shoes to look like I am.  I did go up a half size because the length seems to be a little short and the toe box has plenty of room for my tootsies to spread out now.  I'll put 'em to the test this weekend.  I've gotta remember to move my old lady insoles into these.

Last night we were lazy and got downstairs late.  We did Power 90 original which meant it was done on mute.  I can't take Tony Horton and he knows this which is why the newer DVD's have a mute option on the actual menu!  Just for me.  :-)

So we put on our own cardio playlist to go along with it and works well.

Warm Up

The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Wish I - Jem

Cardio

Short Skirt, Long Jacket- Cake
Goodbye Horses- Q Lazzarus
Tongue Tied- Grouplove
Dreamin- Will to Power
Viva La Vida- Coldplay
Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5
Helena Beat- Foster the People

The mix gave me that oomph to put my all into the workout and with the tightest hamstrings in the world after the previous night's workout, I needed all the help I could get.  We had some stuff to get done and by the time we got upstairs, it was late and we were starving.  It made me wish I'd done prep earlier but nope so we didn't eat until almost 9pm.  Ugh.

I had the Mr pick up a box of Emergen Zzz and I'll take that tonight so I can hopefully get a good, full night's sleep.

What are songs that get you movin'?  (Obviously they don't have to be current based on my list!)

    Nice new shoes there girl! I am glad we play that music with P90 and have him on mute the whole time because it's actually a much more effective workout that way.
    I had a bad nights sleep last night, could have used some of that emergen zzz myself but off to work I go, blah!

      Wow, it's crickets here today! Thanks for keeping me company! ;-)

      I love the new shoes. I hate wearing those mesh disasters especially in the winter when the cold blows right through them. Not good. I couldn't do P90 without some alternative music!
