Sometimes All You Need is a Hug From Mom...

I am a sparkle - no longer a paper bag in the wind

The words of this song scream out to me!!!
I finally let my sparkle shine about 10 years ago; before then I felt like I was just like a paper bag floating in the wind.

Pole Dancing Bear...Get Down On It!!!!

This bear dances better than my husband! Shhhhh don't tell him I am putting this out in public - but he has always danced (secretly in the house) to this song, and it has become a family joke how awful he dances to it (personally I think he purposely shimmies extra bad to be funny - little Guy loves it) - so when I saw this video I had to share & laugh! I laugh whenever I think of DS shaking his butt & this dumb ole' bear shaking his better!

Boom-d-a-da! I love the Whole World

And I thought I was so Special Because I Could Double Dutch!

I know how hard it was to learn how to double dutch way back when in the streets of Brooklyn (can you imagine ME jumping rope today - never mind double dutching!). I also love the Cadette reactions - awesome!

Ryan's Hope...Loved that show

I am NOT a soap opera fanatic - but for some reason this one caught my heart. I was so disappointed when Soap Net stopped showing this daily - I am not even sure if it's on any more. Of course I gravitated towards Mary Ryan (Kate Mulgrew) - I wonder why it was always that sort of character I liked.

John Williams is THE man

This really makes me smile.....

Saturday Nights & Mary Tyler Moore

Growing up, I wanted to be Mary Richards. She was pretty, wore groovy clothes, lived in a great apartment, had a nice job & drove a Mustang! Yes many a dreams were dreamt every Saturday night in my room when she was on - yes I was going to be just like Mary Richards.

Dean Martin - Totally Cool....

Velvet voice, soothing to the eyes & Italian too! Yes - I have a crush on him!

Cinderalla finds Her Prince

This movie - this scene - brings me instantly back to when I was seven years old - I remember watching this in Irving Ave.'s living room behind the store (my grandparents apartment building/grocery store in Brooklyn) being so enchanted - I'd watch it every year until they one year never showed it again. I cry when I hear the songs or at long last, see the clips again - Why? I am not sure - is it because of the wonderful feelings I can so vividly remember, the days that I can't capture again? the memories of that dimly lit living room - the love there? This is truly bittersweet.
