Just having a little fun today. Ahhh, the memories….
My favorites from this list
11. I was all over slouch socks. In fact, if my father’s socks weren’t properly slouched, I forced him to stand still while I corrected his fashion nightmare.
23. I thought Molly Ringwald was cool, but I wasn’t sure if she was really cool. I was told I looked like her back in middle school – short curly hair, fair skin. I can’t blame anyone for that.
33. Man, does that picture of the Atari bring back memories. Hours sitting on the floor with my brother …losing every single game to him. My favorite was the Summer Olympics pole vaulting.
47. I “totally” (so 80′s!) wore biker shorts under my skirts. (So embarrassed!)
60. I used to pretend I was Joey from Blossom and say “Woah!” all the time.
