Sometimes I forget that I really like something...

Thursday I worked outside all day long while Amanda and her friend went swimming. Yard work is therapeutic for me! I truly don't mind sweating while working this way!!
Cause most know that I haven't done too much physical activity since the late 80's...I'm just saying.

While whistling while I worked I remembered that I have a "smart" phone! I can receive mail, text, set up my calendar, get directions, check out facebook and all sorts of wonderful things!!

I downloaded an application called Pandora. You can type in an artist name and make your own radio station. For instance, I typed in Donna Summer! Donna Summer!! I listened to disco music the entire day while working and let me tell you, I did more than whistle!! I boogied!! I like songs with the word "boogie" in them. I had forgotten how much I liked it!

While growing up here in Podunk, Tx. a couple of my friends, who happen to be twins, family owned a disco! A teen disco! I can remember Mom taking me up there so I could spend the night with them and stay up there with them while their parents ran the place.

I don't know how long the place stayed opened but we had a good time while it did. Listening to some of those songs brought back so many memories! Actually, the place is still in GBC. It's across the street from Sears but now it's a church!

I have also found out that walking while listening to 80's music makes the time go by so much FASTER!!!! As long as the music is fast you can make it around that pavilion in no time at all! But once a ballad comes on, my pace slows WAY down! Which doesn't mean a whole lot since my legs aren't very long...Anyway.

Sometimes I forget that I really like something until I find it again. Like old stuff. I enjoy going to antique/junk stores. I had forgotten how much I like that until Mike and I went to Jefferson in November.

Sometimes you just get focused on one thing and forget about all of the other stuff around!

So if you happen to see me walking around the pavilion or doing yard work, WATCH OUT! I might break out into the hustle or the moon walk!

Did you ever go to Porky's outside of Eustace? I was a regular there. So many fun memories, but Disco? How about some old Micheal Jackson before he became so weird:)
