I’ve been doing these for a really long time. I found the first one, but it wasn’t worth sharing, so I thought I’d share the second. Maybe I’ll go back through these. The first time I shared any of these here, on this blog, was back in 2008 when I compiled a long list of things that I had ♥ed in other places.
Sometimes I’m glad that I’ve had a journal this long. Sometimes it’s weird that I can turn a page back to as early as 2001 and see some vague thing I jotted down when I was 17.

Elizabeth, reading this post was like opening a time capsule. Loved the treasures you shared! The only memory I have of the Elton John/Kiki Dee duet was that it was the worst Karaoke song I’ve ever sung. (The vocals exceeded my voice range.) Made me laugh in retrospect. Thanks for that!
I have always wanted to karaoke that song, but I’m afraid it would end badly
