My insane life and times filled with teen drama, marital comedy and realizing that 600 miles away from my insane family still isn't far enough!

A little too much 80's retro...
So we're watching TV the other night, flipping through the channels and I end up on VH-1 Classics. I actually really enjoy that channel. Well "Behind the Music: Remastered" was on Duran Duran. If you were a girl growing up in the 80's I can guarantee that you would be sitting right beside me watching this.
I wasn't a HUGE Duran Duran fan, but I did like their music and they were quite enjoyable to look at. What could be better than good music by a good looking band, right? So I sat for an hour and watched the past history of the band, listened to the music and saw what they were up to now and can I just say, WOW. These men aged nicely. So what's the downside to all of this walking down music memory lane? I have not stopped singing to their music for days! I've got it on my iPod! I've got it in my head! It won't leave! Not that it's a bad thing, I guess. It did almost get Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" out of my head.
Too bad I can't really sing...I might not mind hearing myself sing along if my voice was something that anyone wanted to hear. The 16-year old me, has enjoyed looking back and all I'm going to say is that Roger Taylor was yummy looking in the 80's and yummy looking still. Sigh...
Looking back and remembering is great for reliving past memories. For myself, this means going back a little more than you because I'm a "child of the 60's" with the Beatles and Rolling Stones!
Just dropped by to say I enjoy reading your blog even though I don't often comment. Hope that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall, you had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true, ah, bitter was the trail to depart from one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one nor will you ever be as long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now. Our hearts are sore. As time goes by we miss you more, your loving smile, your gentle face. no one can fill your vacant place.

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove.... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child."
I am a 40 year old mother of two who is still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! I am a wanna-be author, a homeschool mom, wife, and all around mom-on-the-go who does her best to avoid her crazy, extended family!
