Your Favorite Monday Morning Quarterback is Here

I’m trying a theme out this week, hindsight.  Hindsight being 20-20 there are definitely some things that I probably shouldn’t have done in my life.  For example, order my steak medium rare at Outback Steakhouse or drank 5 whiskeys one of the first times I was having dinner with my husband’s family.  Both of these things ended the same way and it wasn’t pretty.  However at the time it seemed right.

I do often wonder had I not thrown up all over my then boyfriend’s [now husband] brand new BMW that night would we even be married today? It’s hard to say.  But that’s what hindsight is for I guess, that what if? The hope to do it right the next time the opportunity presents itself.  Thanks to hindsight, I only drink vodka now.

So today, Monday, we are going to look back at the last week and think what we could have done differently, and then probably do everything just the same.  But at least we did the thought exercise.

How Did We Survive the 90’s?!

Timeout.  Ever stop and think about all the things you used to do as a child that you would never in your life allow as a parent.  Hindsight being our theme, I took a look back at some of my mom’s mistakes for her and wrote them down.  You’re welcome, Mommy! Read my what will likely be the first of many 90’s articles now! Click HERE

I Didn’t Twerk Enough When I Was Pregnant

As we have discussed, Cardi B is everywhere. This week she was on Ellen, and they discussed everything from her real name to how she got pregnant, twerking.  Then they showed the clip of her twerking at Coachella, and it made me feel like maybe I should have done more of that when I was pregnant.  It looks like so much fun.  Who am I even kidding, I still don’t even understand what twerking is.  But catch her segment with Ellen here.

Netflix: Cuba and the Cameraman

Follow Emmy award winner Jon Alpert, who started documenting Cuba over fifty years ago at the start of the revolution in the 70’s and returned over the course of almost five decades. He follows the lives of three families, and begins a controversial friendship with Fidel Castro. As a Cuban American, this is difficult to watch.  The humanizing of Fidel Castro is difficult to swallow.  However it cannot be denied that this documentary provokes thought and gives truth behind Cuba that is definitely worth watching.  Click the image for the official trailer.

#Beychella Part Deuce

In hindsight, I definitely should have gone to Coachella.  But since even in hindsight I know my attendance to be an impossibility- I should have at the very least recorded last week’s performance and sold it, I mean streamed it, for all of my friends.  However I had no idea they wouldn’t stream her this weekend.  I will not even begin to let you know how deep and dark my outrage goes.  Moving on here’s what I know from my obsessive Instagram stalking of those who did attend:

• Similar set and clothing, minus some color changes
• Destiny’s Child appeared again, different arguably cooler outfits
• Jay-Z came and did the same song
• J. Balvin made an appearance
• Solange came out, they danced but Bey tried to carry Solange and they both fell over.  However they somehow pulled it off.

The Greatest Showman

After incessant nagging [I have no idea where she gets this from], my daughter got me to sit down and watch The Greatest Showman with her.  Honestly, I should have listened to her sooner! Don’t ever tell her I said that! I’m a sucker for good music and a positive message.  I loved so much about this movie, but this song was my most favorite.  It’s a great way to start a week!
