I was sitting here wondering what to blog about. Then Savannah's recent birthday and new phase she is in made me think back when I was her age but might have been a little older. Her new phase is that she LOVES everything Justin Bieber. If you don't know who Justin Bieber is then you do not have a daughter or she is not into Justin Bieber. He is the newest teen bobber. She recently got JB's new cd for her birthday and one of the posters she wanted. Its all about JB at the moment until a new phase comes into her life. She has listened to that CD since she got it. A couple days ago we went to Walmart for her spend some of her birthday money, and one of the things she bought was the other Justin Bieber cd! I just crack up because it makes me think back in the days of my pre teen and teenager days. I loved Kids on the Block (uggh I don't know why now that I think about it lol) but back then they were the cool ones, all the girls just LOVED! I remember my friends saying who they were going to marry etc.. Silly when you think about it now, but we didn't care back then. We had no worries in the world just worried about where the KOTB would be. If they were on TV, then we were in front of the TV. I even had their music videos that I had gotten for birthdays and Christmas. I had the tee shirts, posters, cd's, videos, magazines etc. Savannah has a couple of those teen magazines too and has pulled out that little posters of Justin B and other famous people she likes. I just smile b/c I see myself in her when I was that age. It amazes me that nothing really has changed since my child hood to my children. They even watch the same TV shows that I watched. Like Full House, Gilmore girls (which I was older when that show came out) The Cosby Show (My all time favorite show) they watch some cartoons from time to time that I watched growing up also. They just look at me funny if I say I watched that when I was a kid. Nothing really has changed from me being a kid to my kids now, but the clothes, hair styles, and people use the computers and cell phones more than they did. I remember my first cell phone at 16, it was one of those bag phones that has to stay in the car. Cheesy thing! Now you can text, call, watch videos, has maps etc. Its amazing that the technology that has changed. I so wish I had DVR when I was a kid. That is my favorite technology that is out. You'll never be able to watch TV with out it, if you watch a lot of TV. That makes me think of when I watched TV. You couldn't watch as many cartoons as you can now. I would watch cartoons on Saturday, because that is when they came on. During the week was usually The Brady Bunch, A Team, The Cosby Show and Full House, The Incredible Hulk; are the shows I remember watching. Now you have over 400 channels and usually there is NOTHING on. Crazy right?
Anyways I've enjoyed going down memory lane. I cannot wait to remind Savannah how crazy she was over Justin Bieber when she gets older. Because I know she'll think "Why was I so crazy about him?" That is what I think now about Kids on the Block. LOL
