Michael

It is official....I am old. You become old when the icons that you grow up with start to pass away. Well, the King of Pop is gone. I remember when my mom and aunt took my cousin and I to see Michael Jackson and his brothers on the Torture Tour. It was a great concert. I was dressed in my black pleather pants, pink shirt, my red Beat-It jacket, my silver socks, black penny loafers and silver glove. You could not tell me that I did not look like him. At that time I had a Jeri curl in my hair so I styled it like Michael Jackson in Billie Jean (one of my favorite Mikey songs). I was close enough to see him. It was great. I think I stood up and danced on the chair the whole concert.


Thriller was the best album ever. I had to get two copies because when I first heard the song Thriller, I scratched it because I got scared. Still got the album, might have to pull it out this weekend.

I was a huge Michael Jackson fan growing up. I had posters all over my bedroom walls, had buttons of him all over my jean jacket and even had a purse with his picture on it. I thought that he was going to be my boyfriend one day. I even had 2, not one, Michael Jackson barbie-like dolls (hope my mom still has those).



To show how big Michael was, when I attended dance school we even did a dance number to P.Y.T for one of our numbers for our annual recital. I thought I could moonwalk, like him.



Even though all of his weirdness, he was still a great artist. He will be truly missed by all.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
