Aging Gracefully…
August 15th, 2008
Yeah right! Are you kidding me?
A teenager in our church just invited us to her sweet 16 party. The invitation reads and I quote, “kickin’ it old school for a 80’s themed sweet 16 party”.
Seriously, I am old, and now there is proof that defies my beauty and good looks:-) Thankfully for me, I hear that 50 is the new 30. I lived the 80’s through elementary and junior high and the beginning of High school. I saw bubbles skirts, leggings, parachute pants and ray bans galore, and now, I think I am seeing them all again.
So for all of you out there who lived the 80’s for real, this one is for you! You know it had to be a great song if Jessica and Brittany remade oversexed covers of the classic. (Tongue firmly planted in cheek on that one! I worn you, don’t you tube these covers…no I said not to, Oh man I warned you!) Seriously, so many current artists have covered this that they must be rolling in royalties.
Peace to all those who wore jellies, bubble skirts and leggings the first time around, Congrats, you are old just like me:-)
(Happy Sweet 16 Savannah! Life moves fast. Enjoy every minute!)

I know me too sistah. It is funny though, you look at younger kids and think=”Oh the good old days.”
Yeah right, the teenage years sucked, and the 20’s were better but still akward.
I was told in my early 20’s that the 30’s rocked and 4 years in I am inclined to agree.
Happy Days for us 30 somethings is right.
