Time Warp Two

Okay, I'm back. This time Mr. C and I are watching "The Witches of Eastwick" on the TV Guide Channel. Someday I'll get back to devoting all of my focus on my posts, cause in these last few weeks it's been pretty evident that my brain is not capable of multi-tasking my writing with the 40 inch screen in front of me. It's just that lately, 9's computer has been dwelling in the Geek Squad dungeon and it's easier for me to use Mr. C's laptop than to peel him away from his Happy Aquarium on Facebook.

Anyway.

To continue my Retroland nostalgia kick, tonight I'd like to list 5 more toys. I confess, they're a little on the obvious side, but you can't talk about 80's toys without mentioning the following:

1. Cabbage Patch Kids.

To be honest, I have no memory of the crawling doll on the left (but there is a vague recollection of CPK Preemie Dolls), and the linebacker doll on the right rings no bells.... BUT that sweet little thing in the middle is an almost exact replica of my Melinda Sue. I loved her and her yarn hair so. She now sits up on a shelf in my old closet at my parents' house, her naked little Xavier Roberts' tattoo out and exposed for all the world to see. Maybe I should do something about that.

2. Care Bears.

If only the Care Bear Stare worked in real life, my job as a parent would be so much easier.

3. Game of Life.

I loved this game. Until I played it with one of my ex boyfriends and he stuck the little pink wife peg in the back seat. So I learned all about Real Life and man jerks, all from this game.

I'm totally kidding. That ex boyfriend actually made me laugh with his sense of humor. And this game is nothing like Real Life. Despite that, I can still say that there's nothing I don't like about Life. I love the little cars, the $10,000 you get just for starting out, and that little rainbow bridge. So fun.

4. My Friend Mandy

I clearly remember getting this doll for my 3rd birthday. I can sing you the commercial. My Friend Mandy was my favorite doll throughout my childhood but today she's up on that shelf right next to Melinda Sue. Poor Mandy.

5. Dolly Pops

Click. Click. Click. I think these little dolls are to blame for my Bejewled Blitz addiction. And besides that, their name just sounds yummy. Dolly Pops.

Yum.

Allright. That's it with the Retroland Blog. Although, the next time I can't think of a thing to write, I may revisit it and write up a list of 80's TV shows. Or theme songs. That'd be fun. But for now, we're at the vomitting cherry pit part of Witches of Eastwick. This part is the reason why Mr. C hates it when I leave cherry pits lying around in a bowl or napkin during cherry season. So I'm going to try to derive some pleasure from observing him while he's watching his number one movie gross out moment.

Yes, it's an exciting life that I lead.

You all have a good night.
