@Sayward: wow, it’s a small world isn’t it? I totally mean it, when you come, please let me know (your spanish was pretty decent btw!)

I think @Jackie might mean serigraphy (screen printing)?

Regards,

@ boliyou – Thanks! And I did! =)

@ erosan – Que bueno! Yo fue al Yucatan para mis vacaciones después de mi boda. (was that a total hack job? I apologize, I haven’t taken a Spanish class in years, but I miss it!!!) I grew up in southern California and I think the hardest thing about moving to the Pacific Northwest, was the missing Mexican culture! I was so used to hearing Spanish all the time and seeing the art and architectural influence and of course the food and music. Bah! I miss it! And next time I’m down in that part of the world (we’re planning a return for our 5-year anniversary) I’ll definitely let you know!

@ Jackie – Thanks!

I’m not sure what you mean by the printed on letters? I can only picture actual labels, which of course are paper so I’m sure that’s not what you’re referring to. Can you be more specific or maybe link to a picture or something?

Oh yay, let me know how the Chicago swap goes! I can’t wait ot hear about it.

I’m going to look into the follow-up comment feature. I’ve had requests for that before so I know people are interested. I’ll bring it up with my web development technician! . . . er . . . husband. =)

A few things:
- happy belated!
- so, science girl, do you have any info on how (or whether it’s even possible) to get the printed on letters off of plastic and glass bottles so they can be re-used?
- OMG thank you for the Chicago Swap info!!! I am SO psyched because that is only 3 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE!! Yay!
- on some other blogs that I follow, there is a little check box option to receive by e-mail all of the comments following your own. This would be super helpful cuz I often forget to check back for your replies after I post comments. Is that something that’s possible here?

@Sayward:

Nope, 100% Mexican living in Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula, and in case you are wondering… Yes, if you ever come this way, you better let me know so I can show you around!

I’ve lived in the states for a while, tho… work-related

@ Erin – Yesss! Oh man you *nailed* it! I also developed my lifelong love of knee highs during that era. And combat boots.

And I lived in my baggy overalls. I would wear them with body suits. Remember that little trend? Snap crotch, Ack!

@ Amycat – Haha, thanks lady! I swear I’m not a psychopath!

@ Katie – Thanks and you’re welcome! =D

@ Melissa – HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Yay birthday twin, hope it was a good one for you! And yes, I hear that the 30s are much better. I’ll be there in one more year!

@Sayward- I specifically remember a pair of red, black, and yellow plaid boxers in my wardrobe, yes! (and yikes!)

the staples that i lived it are vivid to me:
-mix and matching patterns
-my love for knee high and thigh high socks were born when i used to pair them with a short, babydoll dress and combat boots :)
-baggy overalls and plaid flannel shirts
-my favorite outfit was a floor skimming, bias-cut skirt,which was black, royal blue, and gray plaid. i used to pair it with vintage,graphic t’s and combat boots. oh the love.
-and who could forget the chain jewelery? or the wallet chains? oh man. i’ve got to stop before i get giddy.

i think 90s grunge is on the verge of a comeback. i, for one, will welcome it with open arms.

Thanks for letting me reminisce!
