flashback

my first records that i ever owned were:

1. The Pointer Sisters - Break Out
2.  George Harrison - Cloud Nine

and possibly the soundtrack to the Muppet Movie, but I am not sure if that was Kelly's or mine.

Just now, I purchased "Jump" and "I'm So Excited" from itunes, and it feels so right to own those songs again.  I can still remember taking that Pointer Sisters album to show and tell in second grade.  I was so proud of the neon pink letters on the cover. 

But WAIT, they aren't neon pink at all!  I just found this:
 

and this is not at all how I remembered it looking.  My how the memory plays tricks on us. 

Also, as i was thinking about my childhood, I just looked it up, and you CAN watch Xanadu instantly on Netflix.  that will be happening soon - preferably when my husband isn't here.  I don't need that smirking and sarcasm to ruin my nostalgia. 

I might even put on my roller skates.  Yes,  i still have 'em.  They are white with orange wheels.  Come to think of it, i think those are my sister's as well. 

thanks Kelly, for always sharing with me.
