The Good Ole Days | Vol. One

I think you’re in for a real treat today, or, at least a good laugh. I’m the kind of blogger who has a long list of “future posts” sitting and waiting to be checked off, yet, I can never choose which one to write so they never get posted. Today, FINALLY, I am going to start a series called The Good Ole Days. I love reminiscing about my childhood because, let’s admit it, the 90’s were the best {which is the decade where most of my childhood was spent.} I’ve gone back and found some of those memories.

If you weren’t a child of the 80’s and 90’s my apologies but maybe you’ll remember some of these too?

If you’re anything like me, you’ll get a KICK out of some of the goodies I’ve found.

The greatest game ever created.
”He likes most sports… {in a really quiet voice} except for baseball.” “I know who it is but I’m not telling. HA.HA.”
Despite what it may seem like, I haven’t played this game in two ten years, at least.

ZOOBILEE ZOO, anyone?! I watched this show religiously. Okay, I watched a lot of shows religiously when I was little. I always wanted to be the pink ballerina kangaroo. I mean, who wouldn’t?!

It’s hard to believe floppies used to be a way of life… and that people still use AOL {ahem, Mom! Love you!}

These were a fashion staple, duh.

Pretty sure I had this exact issue. Check out these dream boats!

Whatever happened to Surge? And, uh, Pepsi Blue? C’mon, that stuff was my favorite!

Did anyone have one of these phones? If so, I am super jealous :)

I’m grateful for growing up when I did. The world wasn’t perfect but life was good. I played outside. I loved call-waiting and having to put my other friend on hold but haaated when I still got the busy signal. I sharpened my pencils by cranking a wheel. I thought my dad’s car phone was THE coolest thing ever… besides wearing a scrunchie on my wrist, duh. And, when the Internet did magically come into existence, the dial-up modem took so long that I would rather be playing Dream Phone anyway.

I pray that my future kids don’t get lost in the technology that’s all around today. I hope they find the little things in life to appreciate too. Who knows, maybe I’ll brush the dust off my Dream Phone and hand it down to my daughter. {Knock on wood} Can I knock on wood about having a daughter? Did I just double-jinx it? Is that possible?? Ahhh!
