You Know You're Stuck in the 80s

I went to the local state book fair recently and I must say this... OMG! I'm not sure why I hadn't heard of this before, but hubs told me and I just had to see what treasures awaited me. Sure we waited in the sun for an hour, but it was a small price to pay for awesome crap!

I spent most of my time in the children's aisle looking for interesting reads for my students. Boy did I find tons! Not just your garden variety crap either. Hubs found a book he had many many moons ago- think early 80s- that has supposedly out of print. For only a dollar, I thought, "Sure, why not?" Then a dollar became two, then 30, then 80, then...

Long story short, I have a collection of odds and ends. Standing in the children's aisle waiting for a peek was awesome, yet boring at the same time. Yes, there was that many people. Hubs was bored then promptly ditched me and went to the cooking area while I stayed and battled on through the obnoxiously large strollers and helicopter moms telling Aiden, "Tell the lady you need to look at books there." (i.e. move, make room for Aiden)

After hubs returned, he gave me a book labeled Ghost Hunters. I thought I wouldn't be into it, but I couldn't put it down all weekend. Seriously, if you have the means, go get it.

I also found this disturbing book on how to embalm and taxidermy. Of course I had to buy it.

My one true treasure was a stack of 80s to early 90s cds. no one wanted, or wanted to be seen with. Can you believe I actually found the Batman soundtrack? Not that one, the Prince one. Yes. I've been listening to this c.d. on and off. My hubby says if I start wearing my hair in a side ponytail he'll have to call an intervention.

Embarrassing note-I remember in grade school, when I was wee cheerleader, and obsessed with press on nails, we had a routine to the Batman song.

Memories....like the corner of my mind.....
