Baby, You Can Crash My Car
It is written in The Annals of Teen that one’s first car must be a sexy beast*. My first car fit this definition to a tee. It was a 1981 dark brown diesel Mercedes that already had 300,000 miles on it when my dad picked it up for me for a grand. It weighed no […]
Remember the Time…we carpooled?
Some bad news and some good news for you this Monday. What would you like first? The bad news? Good, me too. Let’s yank that Band-Aid off real quick. I’m bummed to tell you today that my right-hand lady Ashley of Zebra Garden is going to be taking a longterm hiatus from blogging and Remember […]
I wore flannel in July ’cause Eddie Vedder told me to.
I have a confession to make: I’m a reluctant hipster. I like to be the first to know about the latest craze just so I can dabble in it for a sec, declare myself an expert on it, and then scorn it. It’s fun to alienate people by convincing them that you were a fan […]
Remember the Time….we hopped on that bandwagon?
Have you ever thought about the word “bandwagon”? It is kind of a weird way to describe trends that everyone wants in on. What band travels by wagon? The Monkees used a bed as a means of transport during the opening credits of their show, but I’m pretty sure that if they actually needed to […]
Remember the Time….we loosened up?
From time to time, Ashley and I will get lazy and not come up with a topic invite you to write whatever you like for Remember That Time, our mothball-scented weekly stroll down memory lane. It turns out that benevolence looks good on us. And that sometimes we forget until midnight on Sunday night to come up with a topic. […]
MTV without the music is just TV, right? WRONG.
Oh, MTV. MTV, MTV, MTV. I’m tempted to start out saying that I’m sad MTV isn’t what it used to be and that I miss the videos. However, there are three problems with that. Look at me, getting all three-point thesisy over here. Putting that MA to work once again. One, I don’t have cable […]
Remember That Time…..we watched MTV?
This week for the RTT Blog Hop, Ashley and I are throwing you a slowball. It’s the one topic we all have a story about or an opinion of. And no, it’s not everything bagels. There’s only one valid opinion about everything bagels anyway, and it’s that they are manna from Heaven. Case closed. This […]
Remember That Time….we went to the pool?
Be impressed. Be very impressed. This is my second post of the day. This one’s short, though, so if you really need your Emily fix (you are welcome to LOL with me over that one), click here. ♥ Summer is almost over and for that I am grateful because I have not been able to […]
Remember That Time….we almost melted?
It seems way too appropriate that as I sat down at Starbucks to write about the Remember the Time theme for this week – heat waves – “Heat Wave” by Martha and the Vandellas started playing on their in-house mix. I mean, come on. Give that link a clickity click; you’ll be glad you did. […]
I’m going to talk a little about Elvis. I’m from Memphis, so it was bound to happen eventually.
I thought I could excuse myself from the Remember That Time festivities this week because I’m currently in my hometown of Memphis visiting friends and family, but I quickly learned that it’s pretty near impossible to co-host a nostalgia linkup and avoid writing about that town when all the memories are just begging to be […]
