Love it! I'm proud of my '80s heritage. And I still think fluorescent clothing is amazing. And . . . about the NKOTB come back, I'm such a fan!
oh that is funny. and yes, i did begin to sing "shot through the heart" in my head. :0) I loved my hot pink jelly shoes. banana clips! ah! i totally forgot about those- man, hideous. i don't remember watching cartoons Saturday morning- i remember sleeping over at your house and having you and all your siblings come into the living room at 6:30 in the morning to watch them! ahhhh! sleep, need sleep!
Ahh, the 80's. I think Voltron, She-Ra, and the Care-Bears were my favorite cartoons on Saturday mornings... I actually went to a skating rink a year ago, and that will bring back lots of memories!
