Made in the 80s

Ah...The 80s. The decade of excess, Reagan-nomics, Hair bands, Challenger explosion, John Hughes and Speilberg movies, Bruce Springsteen, Micheal Jackson, Big hair and Mtv. What a great time to be a kid. It was the "Good Time" era. The age of being modern. When old was out and new was in.

I will always remember....watching Mtv when they actually played music videos. Walking around singing..."You give love a bad name" by Bon Jovi. Telling my mom I wanted to be Joan Jett or a spokesmodel on StarSearch. Having a My Little Pony Lunch box. Getting a Light Bright for Christmas. And sleeping with my glow worm. Playing SuperMan and SuperGirl with my Dad. We would pin towels around our necks and run around the house pretending to fly. Dancing in my room to Ice Ice Baby and memorizing all the words. Playing with my barbies for hours. lugging my Pink boom box everywhere I went. So I could listen to my New Kids on the Block tape. Joey was my favorite. Dressing up in my poodle skirt 50's outfit to watch Grease. Having a pair of mc hammer pants. That were tie dyed and had "Can't Touch This" on the butt. Getting a playhouse for my 5th Birthday. Watching Miami Vice with my Stepdad. And riding in a limo with my mom on her 30th birthday.

It was a "totally awesome", "rad" time and I could go on and on. In closing, when thinking about all of these little facts of my childhood. Only one word comes to mind..FUN!!!

My Friends...A Breed All Their Own

I have the most diverse, interesting, intelligent, loving, funny, genuine, talented, beautiful, annoying, aggravating and irritating friends in the world. I honestly do not know what I would do without them.

My 3 best friends are Summer, Jennifer (aka "Fer"), and Jenni. These are my girls...my blood. I love them dearly and each for different reasons. Summer...the wild one. (without whom...I would never know the people i'm going to mention. I sware...you're like the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"). Oh, the times we've had! We go back a long way. Over 20 years! daycare to present. You are my Romie and i'm your Michelle. You make me a funner person just by being around you. I can't believe you're a mom. Allow yourself to be great. I love you my sister from another mister. Jennifer...my fer-baby. My cynical touchstone. You always tell me to go for what I want in life. Challenge me to leave my inhabitations behind. Think outside the box and go big or go home. Without you we'd never eat as a group or have a free bed & breakfast. Jenni...my favorite Canadian and fellow musical lover. You make me want to be a kinder person. Have a better attitude and generally love life more. I am so glad your family moved here and I met you. You couldn't ask for better friends...and I don't even like girls.

My boys are next. I'll tell ya...a girl is lucky if she has guy friends like I do. We have the most riveting conversations about: current events, jokes, football, hunting, police codes, guitar chords, etc. Most of which I chime in to say Ew! and What? Even though the list is long. I'd like to mention a few. Howard...thank you for loving music as much as I do and being a good boyfriend to Fer. You are going to do great things and have no idea how talented you are. Never give up on your music! Tres...my Tres Tres. Thanks for your tomatoe gravy, your comedy routines and always having a smile on your face. Tomlin...my JT. Thanks for always being my dance partner and listening when I need to talk. Justin...my Jackers. Thanks for being a good friend, loving sushi as much as I do, making me laugh and generally aggravating the mess out of me most of the time.
The rest of you know who you are and what you mean to me and will be mentioned in another blog later...promise! As I close...I'm reminded of the saying "Your friends are the family you get to choose." and thank God for that.

Hello Blogger World

Hello there blogger world!!! My name is Honey Brooke Adams. Friends call me..."B". First of all, ROLL TIDE!!!!! and go DALE JR!!! Ok, just to get a few things out of the way...Although not a typical one. YES I am a Christian (I serve an awesome God! whom guides and helps me everyday!) and I do vote Republican most of the time, SUE ME. Hey, somebody's gotta draw the line somewhere. I have the normal life of someone single and in their twenties. I work, go out with friends (I have the best and most amazing friends EVER!!! and don't know what I'd do without them), and spend time with my family. Being a product of the 80's and from SWEET HOME ALABAMA. I am a little bit country, and alot ROCK-N-ROLL! With all 80's flare, of course. This means I'm very modern with a rock-country kick. In other words...I like bon-fires and fashion shows. I'm not afraid to admit...I like to have my hair and make-up done before going ANYWHERE. A rock-chick to the core...everything I do is usually done in a t-shirt, jeans, and heels. I love my life and everyone in it. God has truly blessed me with wonderfully amazing family and friends. I am so happy to be sharing with you as I go down this incredibly fascinating road we call...LIFE.
