I know that I am a few hours early for my Thursday post. But here it is....for all of you children of the 80's!
I am an 80's Child
Gone are the days of peterpan getaway boots, big hair, rubber bangles, neon clothes and fanny packs. I think we can all agree that the 80's were a fun decade to grow up in. We had the kewl music, funky fashion where pretty much anything went, we had the decade that Madonna made a name for herself. So I figured for nostalgic purposes I would compile a list of fun 80's things that might just take you into the wayback machine like it does for me. I still have those "moments" where I blare some 80's tunes and geek out.
So anyhow...here are some things that may take you back.
