Vacations are Fun……The Week After Vacation is Brutal

IMG00026-20100705-1753

 

Hubby and I spent the Fourth of July week in Vegas.  We walked up and down the Strip in 120 degree weather.  We took a chance in various casinos.  We went shopping at the outlet.  We took in the Michael Jackson One Cirque Du Soleil show (Seriously, go see this show.  It is so good!).  We watched the Hitsville show at Planet Hollywood.  We even got drunk one night in the Paris hotel.  We enjoyed several excellent meals.  In short, we had fun.

The next week I returned to the real world.  And I was miserable.  Work was piled up on my desk.  I actually had to get up before noon.  The daily routine was back in effect.  It was a struggle but somehow I made it through the week after vacation.

I hope this week is better.

What are your vacation plans this year?  Have you gone somewhere only to return to the “real” world of work?

Musical Look Back – Michael Jackson vs. Prince

(This is a new series of post where I share the music that I grew up listening to.)

Every generation thinks the music of their youth is better than the what’s being played today.  In my case, it is actually true.  Let me present, Michael Jackson vs. Prince.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 80’s gave us two of the greatest musical artist ever in their prime.  Michael Jackson and Prince both released their classic albums in 1982 and 1984, respectively.  Sure, they have both gone on to have several other hits but Michael’s “Thriller” and Prince’s “Purple Rain” set records and established both as music royalty.

Remember when there was a debate over who was better?  I liked them both equally.  Until I say the movie “Purple Rain”.       When my teenage self heard Prince Rogers Nelson speak his first line I was down with Team Prince.  I didn’t care if  he wore heels and lace.  The man was and is still sexy.

Favorite Prince song:  Too many to name but at the top of the list would be “Adore”.

Favorite Michael song:  Again, too many to name but at the top would be “Man in the Mirror.”

What’s your favorite Prince or Michael Jackson song?
