Return of the '90s

Okay, this must be the year for '90s bands to reunite:

1. I just learned that S Club 7 is reuniting...

They rose to international fame in 2000 and split in 2003, but in March it was announced that all original seven members will reunite for seven UK shows. Also, with a possibility of a two-album record deal. Oh and a little unknown fact, this group was created by a former Spice Girls manager.

2. Along with 98 Degrees.
Nick Lachey (lead singer) has had his solo career, but the boys are back together as they reunite for the Summer Mixtape Fest. They will also appear on "The Today Show" on Aug. 17.

3. Spice Girls will be doing the closing ceremony at the Olympics this year.

This isn't actually the first time the girls have reunited. In 2007 they got back together for a reunion tour.

4. Backstreet Boys has been back together for a year or so, but now fifth member Kevin Richardson is joining back in.

I guess technically this boy band never completely broke up. Brian went solo for a bit and Kevin left the group, but they were still making music with just four of the five boys. They also toured recently with the band below.

5. New Kids on the Block has returned in the past few years. (Late '80s to early '90s, but still...)



Now that the bands are coming back, the clothes are soon to follow. Who out there is ready for some acid wash jeans? Or maybe some rolled up jeans? Possibly even a baggy buttoned up shirt (tucked in), paired with high waisted jeans? I know you're scared of those high waist jeans, but prepare yourself because a lot of celebrities are already wearing them again. Get excited!!!

I would LOVE that job!

I think everyone has at least one career field that they see and think, "I would LOVE that job!" But then minutes later after dreaming about being a _fill in blank_, then they start to think about all the reasons they wouldn't be able to actually do the job (setting aside any lack of education).

If you have NO clue what in the world I'm talking about, let me tell you my example. I always liked the idea of being a veterinarian (more specifically a part of the Humane Society). Every time I hear or read an article about animals being rescued by this awesome society, I can't help but automatically wish I were a part of it! Then comes the downfall...seeing the horrifying sights.
Even though I would get to rescue the animals, I would probably end up balling my eyes out while doing so. It makes me extremely sad every time I read an article about animals in a hurting environment and therefore having to being rescued. I can't even watch those commercials where they show all the sad looking animal faces...I have to change the channel!

                                                                          *******

I read an article today about 185 chihuahuas being seized from a home in Pennsylvania. Now I will say, it turned out not to be as bad as it sounds. The dogs weren't in as bad condition as you would think and had no major health conditions, only health issues with their eyes and skin. They weren't scared of new people and the couple owned them had a name for every single dog (which they told the names of each while they were being taken away).
A sad part to the story is that the couple had 30 dead puppies in their freezer. They did not kill the dogs - veterinarians said they died of natural causes. The owners had put them in the freezer because they were planning on cremating them.
Once again, this was probably one of the best stories I've read about animal seizing.
When living in Savannah, I had to cover a story on horses that were badly malnourished and some were even dead on the farm. Just covering the story and taking pictures of the malnourished horses brought tears to my eyes.

So, all of this to say that no matter how much I would want to be employed with the Humane Society, I don't think I would survive a single day.

To all those that are able to survive one day and many more within that career field, major kudos to you! You're living one of my dream careers and I'm glad that someone out there is able to handle it.

Living in the Moment

I think so many of us have a hard time "living in the moment." This could be due to worries about finances, family, friends or, just simply, your future. However, living in the moment is something we all should remember to take in as much as possible.

Here is a blog that I follow from Bethany Joy Lenz. She played Hailey on One Tree Hill for 9 years and also is a lead singer in the band Everly. She has an amazing voice.
Anyway...she always has something fun to write about and I thought this was a good one. A little food for thought?
