The More Something Changes....

I took Mackenzie shopping yesterday because her birthday money was burning a hole in her pocket and what do you think I saw?


Leg Warmers.


Lace fingerless gloves.


Faux glasses.


Halllooo....welcome to MY teenage years! The whole Madonna Wannabe look? I owned it! I had the ratty hair with the oversized headband/rag thing; the lace gloves (even wore black ones to my graduation) ; the leg warmers with the high heeled shoes! Holy fashion batman, I never thought THAT stuff would ever come back in style. I mean NEVER!


Now, don't get me wrong...I'm not about to run out and buy any of it for myself (although I must admit I really wanted to buy the glasses: they made me look really stylin' and SMART!) , but my kids are scooping this stuff up! Mackenzie and Morgan both have leg warmers and the cutsie dance socks...I know it's just a matter of time before the fingerless, lace gloves enter our home!


My girls better be careful...pretty soon I'll be stealing their accessories! Can you just picture it? A 40 year old lady with leg warmers and heels; fingerless lace gloves and a big ole' floppy rag/headband wearing her iPod and dancing to Madonna and blowing a big pink bubble....all while walking her three kids to school on a cold October morning?


Disturbing isn't it?


Aren't you glad we don't go to your school?!

Weirdy weirdness....you know you have it....

You know those little quirks that you keep secret from your friends because you think they're too weird to share?  Well, the other day I got this email from Miss K and as I read it it became obvious that someone broke into my mind while I was sleeping and recorded all my quirky thoughts because it's too much of a coincidence to think that someone else out there might be as weird as me! What I want to know is...who got into my brain, how'd they get there, and where'd they find the pen and paper to write this all down? For your reading pleasure, I present: ( I the ones in bold are my heck-yeahs!) 1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. 4. There is great need for a sarcasm font. 5. Really, how ARE you supposed to fold a...

I'm being followed...

Yes I am. By you! Yes, you are reading my blog. And, apparently, you're not the only one. There are others! I'm so excited I could literally vomit. (I'm sure there's an expression that's more appropriate and less disgusting but I can't think of one!) I'll bet the discovery of life on Mars would not be as exciting to me as knowing that someone is reading my blog!! (I'm extremely ego-centric in case you hadn't guessed) Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for reading my meanderings, my muses, my ramblings... I feel validated. Someone asked me why I write this blog. The truth? I'm an attention seeker...I just want people to notice me. Nothing else. No urge to write...no desire to express myself in the written form...no compulsion to record my life story for my progeny. Nope. Just want people to notice me. That's it. You noticed! Thanks tons! I totally appreciate your 'readership! Hugs, Me PS. Don't be afraid to leave a comment...remem...

...and that, my friends, concludes this blog. I think yesterday's post is an appropriate way to end it. I really don't have the time to keep a blog anymore.  My posts aren't as entertaining as they used to be (sometimes I bore myself) and right now it just seems more like a chore than a creative outlet. I will keep the blog active for awhile until I can find the time to slurp all the posts into a book but I don't think I'll be adding anything new. Thanks for reading.  Thanks for all the support over the years.  Thanks for listening to the Crazee Chick rant... See you later.... Lisa
