Am I stuck in the 80's

I was thinking about what could have possibly possessed me to suddenly want to write in this thing all of the time. It seems whenever I have a moment alone, I start thinking about what I am going to write next, who or what will it be about?

I was in my car today and I think I figured it out. My dear hubby bought me one of those satellite radios for my car....we live in the boonies with only 3 radio stations, it has been WONDERFUL to have. Anyway, there are a few stations on it that I really love, which are the 80's station, the New Wave station and one called "Hair Nation". Every minute I am in my car I spend listening to music from the 80's. Songs I have not heard in years. Every few minutes I am reminded of a different person, a different night, a different love. Music does that for me, I find it very powerful.

Something else I noticed, is that fashion trends seem to be really moving back to retro 80's. I saw a girl today in skinny jeans, with high healed slouchy boots and a suede jacket. She looked just like the girls I hung out with in school. She even had somewhat big hair. Not crimped and teased, but enough hairspray to hold it all up.

Finally, the fact that my oldest son is now thirteen really contributes to my daydreams. I watch him experiencing so many of the things I experienced 20 years ago. I look forward to his adventures over the next 5 years, hopefully he does not make as many mistakes as I did, or worse. But if he's lucky, and if I can help it he'll come out at the other end, dust himself off and embark on adulthood. And he'll say, boy what a ride, just like I do now......if he has half as much fun as I did, it will be worth it all.
