90s, 90s, 90s

I absolutely adore Jessica @ Lovely Little Things . I'm pretty sure we'd be friends in real life. She has this great feature Smell the Roses, where she challenges you to find joy in the small things.


Lovely Little Things


This week's challenge: Watch your favorite movie of all time. This was tough. I started looking through my massive movie collection when I came upon these "classic" teen movies. I decided to watch all three!




All three of these movies are movies that I can quote.
"Am I bet? Am I **** bet?"
"Is this some sort of dork outreach program?"
"Who are we making jealous? Everyone Nicole... Everyone"
"The right guy, he's out there. I'm just not gonna go kiss a whole bunch of losers to get to him."

All three have awesome 90s music. My all time favorite dance scene from a movie:




Ever notice how all these movies have amazing proms? My proms were NEVER anything like that.

All three of them take me STRAIGHT back to the end of 8th grade, the summer before 9th grade and the beginning of high school. In fact, Drive Me Crazy was the first movie I saw with just friends (meaning nobody's mom was sitting in the back away from us!) I know they're absolutely cheesy, but that's why I love them all!

What movies remind you of your childhood?

Oh and this also is my Media Monday post. I've linked up with Rachel from LaLaLists and Brittany from Yellow Umbrella. Didn''t read too many books or watch too much TV this weekend because I was too busy catching up on these favorites!

Media Monday

I like this link-up with Rachel from LaLaLists and Brittany from Yellow Umbrella.

 Gives me a chance to to talk about what I'm watching and reading.

MUSIC
Today's been pretty rough. I haven't been feeling so hot because of some of the meds that I take (I feel like I'm going through menopause: hot flashes, headaches, the works). I decided to just chill at home and clean my bathroom. There's something relaxing about cleaning. So I turned on the 90s station on Music Station, and I must say it's been fabulous. I've heard some fun tunes such as







This takes me STRAIGHT back to all my middle school dances. In fact, I can picture all of my friends doing the dance.

MOVIES
My other habit that I do while I'm cleaning is to pop in an old movie that I love. This way it's something fun to watch but it's not distracting. My choice today?


Adore Center Stage. I did ballet when I was little for about 6 years, so anything dance related I love.

TV
J got me hooked on Men at Work on TBS. It follows this group of four guy friends and their various life issues. It stars Danny Masterson from That 70s Show. It's really funny!


Oh and the guy who plays Tyler (the guy on the right) is really cute. :)

BOOKS

Last week, I finished reading Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielson. Stephanie was in a horrible airplane crash that burned over 80% of her body. The book details her life before the accident, her recovery right after the accident, and learning to live her life again. It is such an inspirational story; definitely brought a tear to my eye while I read it. 


So those are my faves this week. Don't forget to link up. Off I go to jam out some more, because MmmBop by Hanson just came on the 90s station! Love the 90s!
