Mom's CPKs- don't remember the names

Lara and Gerald

Mom told us of the long lines that she waited on to get some of these Cabbage Patch kids. Part of me thought that they were kind of weird looking but they grew on me. Wish that I had kept Myrtle. We still have Gerald, Lara, and Mom's two red-headed ones. I don't remember much about the Koosa animal branch of these- did they come with names too? These days, they don't seem to be made as well as those in the 1980s.

Dreamtime-October 19, 2015- Time Travel

I had the ability to travel through time and space by just using my thoughts. My appearance had been made younger, early 20s- for this storyline. I teleported to NYC in 1984.

 I was in a music store when I saw Simon Le Bon and John Taylor. I overheard them talking about dogs. Simon was asking John a question about a certain breed but he didn’t know the answer. I was brave enough to go over to them to reply to this. Part of me was worried that they would be annoyed at me, however.

   They didn’t seem bothered by this. In fact, I was even showing them photos of my dog. I accidentally touched Simon’s hand then. Suddenly, we were in his future- 2008. That had been the year on the calendar in the last photo that we had been looking at.

   We were in the same store. It was different now, obviously. There were mostly CDs and a smaller section that still had albums. Simon wasn’t even freaked out about this. We just happened to be in the section where the Duran Duran CDs were. He saw the Astronaut one there.

   Before we had a chance to look around, we were transported to a different location. I was definitely not responsible for this. We were near the woods that are close to my current apartment.

  I was assuming that my past self and family would not be there as we walked to it. Simon commented on some of the automobiles along that way.

   When we went inside my apartment, Buffy was there enthusiastically greeting me. I was so happy to see her. She got a little skittish when she saw Simon but was calmer after I told her that he was harmless.

   Simon liked my brother’s computer. I didn’t tell him about how advanced that these machines presently were though. He was checking out some of the other electronics in my living room too.

   After having lunch, Simon asked me if I could take him back to his own time which I did. When we arrived there, it was as if no time had passed. John had this look of disbelief on his face when Simon told him that he had been to the future.

   He finally convinced John that this was true and asked him if he would like to go there too. John was totally uninterested in doing so though. I didn’t get a chance to hear the rest of what he was saying because my time in this holodeck program was over then.

Kenny Rogers Concert - 1984

My mom and her friend Peg went to a Kenny Rogers concert in 1984. I remember wishing that I could go to. I really liked his music back then despite a family friend thinking this was kind of strange. Mom told me that Dolly Parton came out on stage and they performed Islands In The Stream together. I didn't even remember that she got this souvenier book and was pleasantly suprised when I found it in her keepsake tote. I still have his greatest hits tape that I got as a Christmas gift in the early 80's and also a CD of his hits that I got about 6 years ago.

Bad 80's Fashion?

I think that I was posing for these pictures because at that time I was in that Barbizon beauty school and was having fun with fashion and makeup. I can't remember much about that place. They taught us about these things and stuff like how to do the model walk. My most vivid memory of it was when a couple of girls called me Bride of Frankenstein which upset me so much that I gave up on that place with only 2 more classes left before graduation.

I look at some of the pictures like these and wonder what I was thinking when I chose some of the outfits. I never wore the designer stuff, it wasn't in our budget. Mom would get me clothes with her employee discount at Bradlees. I was kind of jealous of the girls that had the Sassoon, Gloria Vanderbilt, Calvin Klein and other popular brands of the 80s. I had mostly Chic and Gitano or PS Gitano. I did get a designer pair once in a bag of hand me downs from a friend of the family which I was happy about.
