Bands I listened to in the 90s-2000s




Seriously you are going to want to pin this one, it will bring back good memories!
Lets start out with this album by Britney. I bought this album when I was in 8th grade. I was obsessed with it, I just loved baby one more time and you call me crazy (I don't even know if that was the name of the song). Britney Spears was on of my first celebrity idols, remember this was before she went all crazy. This is a great album, and a really great one for Karaoke. 


Of course we can't talk about 90s bands without referencing Nsync. Best Boy Band Ever. One direction doesn't even stand a chance, they try to be cool but even the backstreet boys couldn't out sing NSYNC (in my opinion) JT of course was my favorite, so cute back then and "innocent"... 


Speaking of backstreet boys... who couldn't love them. Brian was my favorite, those blue eyes drew me in when I was a teenager. I remember daydreaming about him in algebra, and that is probably why I am terrible at math. 


Next on the list B*Witched! Maybe I was the only person who listened to them? I love this album, I have it on my iTunes even, its just got some great memories to it. Of me and my sisters dancing in the backyard making up dances to these songs. Good times. 


Dream! I almost forgot about them. The bottom girl on the right, I used as a model once when I got my hair cut in junior high. Ha ha ha. I remember bringing this cover into the hair stylist wanting the short cut with red and blonde highlights. Ha ha ha, so funny... and the studs on all the shirts that was totally in during the 90s and early 2000s. 


Although this isn't a 90s band, I did listen to the best of the bangles quite often. Walk Like an Egyptian anybody? Just another Maniac Monday? Classics


Dreamstreet! Can't forget them. Sugar Rush and Gotta get the girl were probably some of my favorite, by far. I just was so in love with Dreamstreet in junior high. Head over heels. My notebooks were decorated with lyrics from these guys. So funny. 


Blink 182. Pretty sure I held a boys hand for the first time to this song at classic skating when they did the "couples skate"... can't graduate from Junior High without these guys.

To Quit my Job or Not? That is the question

Right now I am hating my job. It was good, then my old company got bought out and we transferred to a new floor in draper. Since that time my life has been miserable. Going to work everyday has been awful. I have to drag myself there and then when I am there, I am engulfed in an environment that I don't like. I get belittled at work, texting me things that I am doing wrong and it just isn't working out. I have been debating for a few days now if I should quit my job. I finally decided that yes I am going to.
In the end, no matter how many of my coworkers and friends I have there for me to be miserable all day isn't worth it. Work just has made me so angry lately. Then I come home and I am angry at Zack, which he doesn't deserve. I have been treated horrible lately, when I am the one who stays until 11:00 pm when I don't even have to. For my best interest, it will be better off to quit.
Now I have a few things in the works. I am starting up music lessons again, so if anybody is interested and lives in Utah County, let me know. I have plans for a full time job to start in three weeks and will teach lessons after work. Things are looking up and its going to be great. I love playing the flute and piano and look forward to continue playing and teaching others.

What most people didn't know about me:  I played the flute from 4th grade until 6th grade where I picked up the Clarinet instead. I wanted to play the clarinet so bad but all the spots were filled and I had to wait for what seemed to be years until a spot opened up for me. I'm thankful I had a chance with the flute. It's such a beautiful sound.
