It’s Monday, so it’s time to muse! Today I am rocking out to pure
nostalgia. Anyone who knows me at all
knows I am passionate about music, and if you know that much about me, you
might also know that I love movies and own a vast collection. This weekend I indulged myself and updated my
collection with a DVD of “Dirty Dancing”.
While I have the video cassette, I no longer have a VCR. Because of that fact, I have been steadily beefing
up my DVD collection with some of the titles I love that I have on VHS so I can
actually watch them again!
With “Dirty Dancing”, I get the best
of both worlds…amazing music and a coming of age romance that tugs at the ole
heart strings for the bargain price of $5.00.
Now you can see why I couldn’t simply walk past this one. I LOVE
this movie. It was released in 1987, a
year after I graduated from high school.
My daughter and I sang along to all the songs, and I find myself still
singing them today. I have them cranked
to full blast on Spotify as I write this.
If you haven’t seen it, you must!
If you have seen it, you must see it again. It is well worth the effort.
It was one lazy ass weekend at my
house, staying up late watching movies, playing cards, and sleeping in until
late into the afternoon. Saturday was made
better with a Notre Dame win, and Sunday was dominated with grocery shopping, dishes,
house cleaning, and laundry. I even
managed to get a bit of knitting done! Thanks
to 4-H and my tutelage, my daughter is quite the baker so while I cleaned, my
daughter made bread bowls which were filled more than once with homemade
steaming hot chili topped with melted cheddar cheese and then promptly devoured. I love weekends. There is nothing I look forward to more, and
unfortunately, there is nothing that passes quicker than a weekend.
