The Spice Girls Have Given Me Back My Spice for Life! Thanks Scary,Sporty,Posh,Baby, and Ginger

 I was feeling a bit blue lately. Just normal life stuff I guess, mixed with holiday busy times.Don't worry, I feel better now. Not to mention my laptop was spazzing out on me, so a spazzed out laptop does not make for a kept up blog.

Laptop is doing better, and so am I.

By the way, blue is one of my favorite colors.Why is it used to describe a sad emotion?What about saying, I am feeling a little Chartreuse lately.

Anyway, on one of my Chartreuse days I was curled up in my bed flipping channels around on the TV. My husband had taken K, our five year old, out to do some errands. The teenagers were both gone with friends, and I stayed home. I said it was because I needed to 'get a few things done', but we all know what that is code for -
"AS SOON AS Y'ALL (sorry, just read a Paul Deen article in my magazine. 'Y'all' just felt right to type)  LEAVE, I'M CLIMBING BACK INTO BED WITH MY SWEATS ON, GRABBING THAT BAG OF CHEETOS AND A DR.PEPPER AND WATCHING ALL OF MY DVR'D REALITY PROGRAMS. STAY GONE FAMILY, STAY GONE FOR AS LONG AS YOU'D LIKE. MAMA NEEDS ALONE TIME FOR HER GUILTY PLEASURES." A.K.A.- QUEEN OF THE REMOTE,QUEEN OF THE SNACKS,QUEEN OF THE HOUSE! 

I put on my Rubios Fish Taco Sweatshirt that I have had since I was 18 years old.
My favorite pink sweats, and threw my hair in a bun.

Stared at my pile of laundry, and gave it a big HUG   'F' -YOU, and jumped into bed!
Where is my remote?

Ahh there it is, Housewives of Wherever, here I come.

"YOOOOOO, Tell me what you want, what you really, really want"

"I'll tell you what you want, what you really really want" 

Is that?

No!!!

Could it be??

Is this Spice World, the Movie?

One of the cheesiest films ever made?
Yet, the top of the pyramid in my pyramid of guilty pleasures!!!

I will take you back a few years. 


I was 23 years old, married to my first husband, and at home with our son. I had many little cousins. We are a tight family, and cousins are as important as oxygen. Because of the age difference, it seemed like I was more of an Aunt. But, nope they are my little cousins.

My little cousins would stay the night often,two of them being little girls, who in fact happened to be IN LOVE with the Spice Girls. So naturally when they came over, the VHS of Spice World was popped in. 
We  they would dance around the living room, playing with our their Spice Girl Dolls. 
In fact my Aunt had bought me the Ginger Spice Doll  for a gift  as a joke! I had experimented with Auburn Hair and Blonde Highlights at the time, so Ginger was fitting. 

SO, when I came upon this on my television screen, I stopped! 

Sadly, it was almost the end of the movie, but I stared at the screen with tears of happiness in my eyes. Tears of HAPPINESS, WARMTH, GOOD TIMES!
I immediately took pictures of the TV screen and texted them to my little cousins.

"You will never guess what is on right now!!!"

These are the lyrics to the song they were singing.

These are the lyrics that broke me out of my funk.

These are the lyrics that can cure diseases
(alright, I am taking it a bit far)

But these are the lyrics from the song at the end of the movie.
A movie that holds unexplained, warm and fuzzy memories for me.

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

When you're feelin' sad and low
We will take you where you gotta go
Smiling dancing everything is free
All you need is positivity

Colors of the world
Spice up your life
Every boy and every girl
Spice up your life
People of the world
Spice up your life, aahh


Back when Posh actually did more than just stand and pose! 





Oh, Scary Spice! You don't scare me!





*Thanks You Crazy Gals! Thanks for bringing back some memories.
I will now be going on to Amazon.com and buying your DVD, and pulling out boxes from the Attic looking for that Ginger Spice Doll to play with give to my daughter!

  1. I'm so glad I'm not alone with the whole remote, cheetos and pop thing, oh and the key ingredient, the family being gone! The movie that always pulls me outta' my funk is 'Baby Boom.' I always feel like I could move to the country, invent/create/make anything, sell it and become a millionaire! :D
