2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This!

Another Friday ... another mad week...!

This week the hubby and I (and Grandpa!) went to see my little girl performing with her school at the regional dance Movefest (she's been practising for weeks!). Out they strutted, started dancing and...the music stopped! Sack the DJ! After technical problems were overcome they started again and performed their routine. So - there I was -filming her (we were allowed) welling up like you've never know - thank goodness it was dark and my phone was in front of my face! What am I like? It was just the sight of her - no longer a baby or toddler, performing so well (I feel exactly the same with my boy too) ... seriously - where has all this time gone - they're both growing up so fast I can't keep up with it and the dreaded hormones take over ... must learn to control those dratted things!  Here's the tune they started off to...

2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This!

Now I know that this is a track played at many sporting events all over the place but this is a favourite of mine and hubby's from back in the early 90s when it was released at the height of my clubbing days. I literally remember the first time I heard it - in The Banker's Draft (to be exact) - where we had all met up for the first drinks of the night - it came on and we all started dancing (just like in the video!) - right there next to the Jukebox - as you do!

Do you remember this track? Can you control your hormones?

De La Soul - Say No Go!

Yo man!

So this half term has been a funny old week. I just wanted to spend some time chilling out with the kids and cooking nice things but a couple of domestic crisis(s) threw everything into turmoil (I say 'everything' but mainly mean 'me') - hence I've just not been feeling myself and have been performing all the usual tasks like a robot in sand/fog/mist whatever! I'll not bore anyone with details (already did that with friends at work - sorry girls - love you loads!) but think we're getting sorted (slowly) now.  I'm getting my head around things and trying not to get down about stupid trivial stuff! Stupid me - stupid hormonal imbalance to blame I'm sure - stupid hormones - stupid!

Anyway ...  De La Soul - one of mine and hubby's favourites - he dug the brilliant album '3 Feet High And Rising' out the other day, played it in the car yesterday and I found my head nodding to the beat ...

- so hard to choose a fave track but this is one of them...

De La Soul - Say No Go!

Released in 1989 it contains sampling from I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall & Oates and has a serious side to it regarding drug (crack cocaine) use ...

My friend and I would go out most Thursday nights to 'dance, house and hip-hop night' at our favourite nightclub and I remember bopping away with my spiral perm (no really it looked ok in those days!) to special mixes of this superb track many many times ... it reminds me of a time when my biggest worry was what to wear on a night out...!
