1. Nighttime soap operas! I like Dallas, Dynasty, and Melrose Place, but my all time favorite is Knots Landing. I want to be Karen Fairgate…with Laura Avery’s looks.2. One-hit wonders.
3. Grease 2. That movie is so bad it’s good.
4. Driving through a crowded parking garage, I come face to face with a blonde in a Hummer. Both of us want the same parking space. But the Hummer doesn’t have the turning radius needed to squeeze in there, so the Barbie Girl has to pass it up. My 4-cylinder Dodge and I emerge victorious. THAT was cool.5. The E! True Hollywood Story
6. Whipped cream, straight up. I do put it in a bowl instead of eating it right out of the can.
7. Singing along with the Captain and Tennille on the car radio. Loudly. With the top down. And I don’t care who watches!
8. Waking up to a fist full of peanut M&Ms. Some people get their morning jolt from coffee. I get mine from chocolate.
9. Pink anything. No…pink everything!
10. Actually getting to see a carpool lane violator get pulled over by the police. Quinton witnessed this last week, and I was so jealous that I wasn’t with him at the time.
11. Flintstone’s vitamins. Yes, I still eat them.12. Peter Piper Pizza. I could eat four slices of that stuff! I usually have to arm wrestle Kyle for the last piece.
13. Researching former C-list TV and movie stars on IMDb.
14. Wasting entire afternoons watching Beavis and Butthead marathons.
15. Easy listening music from the 70’s and 80’s. The sappier the better: Christopher Cross, Lobo, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, Boz Scaggs, Kenny Loggins, Air Supply, Roberta Flack, Olivia Newton-John, Melissa Manchester, Rick Springfield, Jefferson Starship, Pablo Cruise, Barry Manilow, and many, MANY, MANY others…

# 4 is my favorite. i am thrilled you got the space. it contributes to the righting of the universe!
:)
Love the list! I have several comments about some of them but unfortunaely I 'm a bit to pie-eyed to remember anything!!Hmmmm,maybe I should go to bed?
Thanks, kj. It's even better because I had my grandma with me at the time. While she has as much energy as any 30 year old, it's nice that she didn't have to walk the entire length of the parking garage to the mall.
Papa, you should have left your comments! Drunken raves (or rants) are the best!
This is a fun list. I like Captain and Tenille. I always thought she was so classy but not sure who was who.
Honey, I felt guilty just reading that list. Then again, I probably am!
Papa, is Pie-eyed Posting the blog version of Drunk Dialing?
Yep Christopher! Those are the days you are afraid to turn on the 'puter because of what you might have posted the night before!!
Oh Val, you would LOVE my vinyl collection! I have most of the ones you mentioned and much, much more cheese. A friend brought her 21 year old coworker over with her one night and when the girl saw my vinyl she said, "Oh, that's what a vinyl record looks like!" She had never seen one before. Good God I felt old! And then proceeded to play "Freedom" by Wham! for her...lol.
Jonboy, I'll bet my vinyl collection is older than your vinyl collection. When my dad died, I inherited his old records. Most of which include the likes of Gene Pitney, the Kingston Trio, and Gary US Bonds.
I never bought too many records as a kid, instead favoring cassettes (big mistake...HUGE!). I do still have my vinyl copy of the Back to the Future soundtrack, Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA, Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet, and a few Andy Gibb 45's. All of my cassettes warped and melted in the car.
Val,
I think you're smarter than Karen Fairgate and prettier than Laura Avery!
This space is my new entertainment - I don't need TV!
Robyn, thank you for your interest in my blog. Are you a Knots fan, too? For me, the first seasons are the best.
I'm you're finding my little slice of the web so entertaining.
