So I tend to tease my cousin sometimes and call her a Hippie…because well she sorta is.  But I love her dearly.  And while she would be making free love and not war back in the day, I may not be by her side, but I would def. be there.  I mean to say that I must have been born in the wrong decade.  While I love this one and all the amazing people in it, I am sitting here in my bath (yes for real) and listening to the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing.  I love this music…. I know the words, I know the beat and the dances.  What I wouldnt give to be in the staff house dancing it up with Johnny and Baby.  But alas I am here.  And if I were to not be in the staff house dancing the night away, I could be out on a beach doing the twist with Frankie and Annette.  Catching some killer sets before we head over to the local joint.  Gidget would be my BFF and it would rock.  LOL I dont know why I dont seem so connected to this era.  I mean how easy is life?  I wake up from my cell phone alarm and use that to check my email, the weather and what time I have work.  I drive my car filled with $2.00 a gallon worth of gas to my electronics store job and then go to my local T.G.I. Fridays for dessert and drinks with friends.  But while I am in that car driving or laying in my bed at night I am thinking of another time and place.  I am not a huge believer in a lot of things spiritual wise.  But I must have some crazy 60’s past life that I am channelling.  Hot rods, surfing sets, dirty dancing, doing the twist and the cha-cha, wearing hot pants, and a bee hive hair do.  I would take that any day.  Maybe I am crazy?  Who knows, but if I do have a past life, I would like to be back there, with the music and clothes.  

Sigh… well my bath water is cold and my CD is off - maybe I will go cuddle up on the couch and watch a few of those old movies, 

More soon!
