As I've moved along in my life growing spiritually, emotionally, and blah~blah~blah...I've created a routine that helps me set the tone for my day. Immediately upon waking up from my deep golden slumbers, I catch the first conscious thought of the day. I sit with it for a while...meditate on it...and see where it will take me as my day begins....
Normally, I will have thoughts like this...
I kid you not...and then I couldn't remember the name of this show!!! It drove me bonkers for a solid hour! I remembered Freddie the Frog, Charlie the Owl and Henrietta Hippo...I even remembered Doug and Emmy Jo! After making myself nuts for way too long, I finally Googled and found THE NEW ZOO REVUE!!! (thank you, Google for stopping me from going into complete hysteria...)
Then the theme song came streaming into my brain!
"It's the New Zoo Revue...Coming Right at You!"
And check out her preppy style! Emmy Jo had a huge influence on my fashion choices over the years.
One of my favorite toys back then was this little bundle of fun...
When I got this set of reels for my birthday.....
I was in kiddie heaven!
Here's Doug....he and Emmy Jo were married in "real life" and still are to this day!
Now for some New Zoo Revue trivia...Do you know who played Mr. Dingle, the postman???
Everybody knows this guy....even you young whippersnappers who have no idea what the New Zoo Revue is!
It's this guy!!!
Yep! Chuck Woolery was Mr. Dingle!!! You can watch him in action on NZR with this linky...(and you can see Emmy Jo and her fab-oo seventies fashion!)

(youtube won't let you embed this one...sorry! It's fun to go watch though!)
And because I love you all so much, I have given you yet another linky so you can listen to the theme song! I know you will be humming it all day long! You are welcome! (and yes...that is pure sarcasm...I realize it's totally annoying to hum those kiddie songs all day long...I went through it for years when my kids watched Barney....but here's the linky anyway!!! mwahahahahaha.....)

I loved this show when I was a kid! I thought Emmy Jo was so cool. I loved how she could rock a pair of go-go boots and a headband.

I like your idea of sitting with your first thought for the day. I might just have to try that. I often times jump out of bed so hastily, I can't help but wonder what I'm missing.....
Thanks for the flash back! Now I have to show my kiddos what I used to watch before there was iCarly & Yo Gabba Gabba!!! :)
I would love for you to visit my blog, Mom State of Mind, and enter my giveaways!! Take Care
