Old School

I remember growing up in the '80s eating some really good food with my parents. Well, to my little adolescent self, it was good anyway. It was typically a weekend thing, do some shopping in Odessa or Midland, then go to a restaurant of mom or dad's choice. They didn't ask me. I would eat at McDonald's every day back in the day if I could. lol

If you did not grow up listening to New Edition on your jambox, crying over how you were 'Lost in Love' with your Jr. high boyfriend and know the dance routines to their videos, we cannot be friends! My parents would go to work, leave pre-teen me at home and I would spend the day jammin' to Cool It Now, Candy Girl, If It Isn't Love and all of my other favorites full blast as I cleaned the house fo

I'm sorry but IT.IS.ON! I was perusing the 'gram yesterday when I came across a post from tha Dogg himself about Lovers and Friends something or other. I came to a screeching halt when I realized what was happening! A concert, Vegas, Usher is involved? Then I realized, hold up, this is not just any concert, it is a Fest, which in my mind immediately means acts, lots of them and they are all from o

Now I'm not complaining about my childhood. I didn't do without food, electricity, or any off the other essentials. My parents were far from rich growing up, but they did manage to hook it up with some pretty good loot around the holidays usually...

I said yep, I'm good, no need for anything else. He thinks I need to get with the times and get wireless headphones or Air Pods.

So last week it was the cassette player, this week my kiddos got schooled with a PAYPHONE. I laughed pretty hard with their reaction to this one! After explaining to them a little about how it worked, my 12 year old said, 'omigosh how much did you have to PAY for 1 phone call?'

I loved hanging out with our friends at Vintage Deluxe the other day! Especially because I got to check out some cool old school stuff. Check out this cake pan from back in the day...

Time goes by and things go out of style! You can alwasy knoe your OLD by showing your kids things from the past. They have no CLUE on what THE HECK MOST OF THAT OLD SCHOOL stuff is. LOL Show your kid a pager or typewriter and let the fun begin...

Earlier this week on the morning show, we talked about a grandmother who got frustrated with her granddaughter for not knowing how to operate an old school rotary phone. lol The struggle....you know the rest. Our kids are oblivious to the stuff we had to deal with. Heck my 11 year old struggles with....
