Blockbuster Family Faves
SPECIAL NOTE: Ashley will be taking a break from RTT for a little bit, so be sure to check back here at The Waiting for RTT updates for the next month or so. ;D ♥ In a comment she left on Monday, my mom reminded me of our Friday afternoon visits to Blockbuster Video when […]
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 […]
My Brief Foray Into Competitive Swimming
I don’t think it’s going to come as much of a surprise to you that I was not a big sports person when I was a kid, namely because I just used the phrase “big sports person” in a sentence. There isn’t a competitive bone in my body, and if I have a choice between […]
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 […]
Remember That Time…we listened to the radio?
This week I’m road trippin’ with the fam to the setting of most of my Remember That Time We Did the Things posts, Memphis, Tennessee. It’s the hometown that I love to hate, but since Memphis is basically my family, no one is allowed to talk smack about it except me. You know how you […]
Step One to Beating the Childhood Doldrums: Summon the Dead
When you are a kid, sleeping at a home other than your own is a welcomed break from the norm, despite the apparent lunacy of the practice. I mean, seriously, your odds of contracting childhood lice are high enough as it is just by attending school. It seems like you would want to avoid any opportunity […]
Remember That Time…you spent the night?
So, with the first week of Ashley’s and my nostalgic blog linkup Remember the Time When We Did the Things behind us, I think we can safely say that it was a good idea to get y’all to write stuff for us. Even though we launched it on a day when most Americans were busier […]
Why Are You Trying to Ruin My Life?
Boring Subtitle: A Survey of All the Trips I Ever Took As a Teen With My Family I was really excited when Ashley of Zebra Garden came to me suggesting that we start a linkup where we could reflect on all the ridiculousness of our childhoods. Now I have the weekly opportunity to embarrass myself more! Wins all […]
