A Shout Out

I was born in 1982. It was also the year that the greatest album of all time was released. We all know it as Thriller. Despite the fact that I was only a tiny tot when it was put out, I grew up listening and busting out MJ moves to "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Human Nature", etc. I loved watching the "Thriller" video, it not only scared me but also was amazing to me to watch the choreographed dance moves- something I had never seen before.

I danced many a high school dances to "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" and can't help but crank up "PYT" when it is on the radio. To this day I still get chills as I hear "We are the World". His music was legendary, it was the backbone to so many great childhood memories. Despite his troubles in later years, I will always remember the King of Pop for his revolutionary dance moves, style setting fashion, and groundbreaking music, but most importantly for enhancing so many of my life experiences and memories.

Okay just got caught up on your past few posts...

"herky jerky". I love it. I use phrases like that, and Hubby looks at me like I'm crazy. I'm glad to know though that I am not alone.

Sonya at the pool....Oh! so cute!

Sorry 'bout the food poisoning. Yuckola.

42 weeks pregnant? Oh no. I'd have killed somebody by then. Or broken my own water with a knitting needle. I'm just sayin'....
