Living in the Present - Loving the Past

Me and Chuck at Fall Prom 1995

Here it is, 2020, already. How can 1990 be 30 years ago? In my mind, the 90s were only like 10 years ago. I suppose it doesn't help that I pretty much exclusively listen to Sirius XM 90s on 9 in my car and that I still wear my beloved flannel as much as possible. I also currently have the same haircut I did for the late 90s...do we see where this is going? Yes, I'm living in the present, but I love the past and in particular the 90s. Times were a lot simpler then. Of course, the 90s were the decade that I went through all of middle school, high school, and college. Now I'm a grown "adult" in her 40s (ugh) with middle aged problems.

I needed something creative to do in order to get me out of my mundane day to day rut. That's where this blog comes in. I thought it would be fun to reminisce through my writing about the decade that shaped me -- the 90s. Therefore, I ordered myself the Trivial Pursuit 90s Edition game off of Ebay and will use the questions to guide this blog (I did something similar to that about 15 years ago now when I got the 80s edition of Trivial Pursuit. It was fun, but life got in the way of updating it -- check it out for fun: That Retro Blog). I'll also have weekly spotlighted music, movies, and TV shows from my favorite decade over in the right sidebar to continue the nostalgia.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking back as much as I do. Leave me some comments and let me know your favorites from the 90s. I love to talk about everything 90s and really do want to hear from you!

(The picture above, by the way, is of me and my best friend at the time at my "Fall Prom" in 1995. How is that for some 90s nostalgia?)
