I have almost completed the first week back from a whole
week off for Presidents Day. And suffice
to say, this has been The. Longest. Week. Ever.
The week of “vacation” was fun.* Play dates were fun. We baked.
We went to the Henry Ford Museum.
However, it takes work to be a cruise director. Add a slew of out-town guests for a death in
the family and an injured husband and it was a crazy week.
Even though it was nice to catch up with family that I haven’t
seen in a while and spend some quality time with The Babes, sometimes I long for easier times when getting a
five-page term paper and figuring out what party I was going to go to were my
biggest worries. (Worries? If I knew then what I know now –geez)! I fondly remember the times when I would
pretend my empty beer bottle was a microphone as I belted out Don’t Speak by No
Doubt with my freshly pink highlighted hair.
But those days are long gone. Long. Gone.
And I don’t want to go back because there were plenty of things I didn’t
like about my 20’s. But I like to reminisce. I find the best way to remember those times
without looking like a desperate fool (you know, getting lit up at a party
while dressed in an outfit that no longer looks appropriate in my post-baby body)is
to listen to the music that I rocked out during that oh-so-brief time in my
life.
Without further ado, I present to you My Playlist: 1995 –
2000:
What songs remind you of that magical time known as your
late teens, early twenties?
* It’s not a vacation unless I’m on a sandy beach with a rum
drink in my hand with nothing but the sound of waves crashing along the shore.

I wouldn't have taken you for such a No Doubt girl!
While I can't agree with that one, pretty much all the rest are on point. ;)
No diggity. No doubt. (Okay, I think that's maybe pre-2005, but whatever.)
Just LOOKING at this list has really brought me back in time.
*sigh of contentment*
"sigh of contentment" - what a perfect way to describe that feeling!
