Now that I’m back into the swing of a routine, it’s time to bring back Monday’s “Makes Me Smile.” I love to smile and laugh, and it’s always fun to find and share these light-hearted things. Hope they bring a smile to your Monday. 🙂
I think this could help me actually keep one of my new year’s resolutions (haha):
How about this?
hahaha
In getting ready for several speaking engagements this week (one on Tuesday – and a retreat over the weekend, and I’d sure covet your prayers, please…) I found this e-mail that my friend Julie Roderer sent to me in 1999. I kept it because it made me laugh out loud back then, and it has had the same effect today. If you are near my age (or a teen of the 1980s) I’m guessing that you’ll LOL a bit too.
You’re lost between a Baby Boomer and a Gen X’er if:
*You remember when Jordache jeans with a flat handle comb in the back pocket was cool.
*In your class picture you were wearing an Izod shirt with the collar up.
*You remember the premier of MTV, in fact, you remember the Friday Night Videos before the days of MTV.
*While in high school, you and your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play Prince’s “1999”.
*You took family trips BEFORE the invention of the minivan.
*You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you.
*Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language.
(Conjunction junction, what’s your function?…)
*The phrase “Where’s the beef?” still doubles you over with laughter.
*You remember trying to guess the episode of the Brady Bunch from the first scene.
*This rings a bell: “…and my name is Charlie. They work for me.”
*You were unsure if Diet Coke would ever catch on. (I remember thinking, “How can anything replace a Tab!”)
*You know all the words to the double album set of Grease.
*You ever had a Dorothy Hammill haircut.
*You sat with your friends on a Friday night and dialed 867-5309 to see if Jenny would answer.
* “All Skate, change directions” means something to you.
*You owned the “Official Preppy Handbook.”
*You remember when your cable TV box had a sliding selector switch.
*You remember Bo and Luke Duke.
and one more:
*The theme song to Greatest American Hero still comes back to you on occasion {Believe it or not, I’m walking on air…}
(Sorry if you now can’t get that awesome song out of your head! It was the best, wasn’t it?)
Hope these brought a smile to your face and a giggle to your heart. I relate to every single one of these! How about you????
A God-blessed week to each of you, my friends~
