I’ve got a few things to post, but I’ve been dog ass tired.

Soooo to tied all you luverly peeps over, I’m gonna steal a page from my Husbands LJ book and ask the following:

“As many of you know Dan and I will be going to Vegas and I was wondering if any of you would like a small souvenier from Vegas. If so, just make a post here with a idea as to what you would like.”

:) So far we have had requests for Poker chips, post cards, shot glasses and the infamous request from -theewhoshallremainnameless- of “One of those flyers that the Hookers hand out on the strip”  

So really, as long as it don’t cost an arm and a leg, and isnt illegal *ponders* the sky is the limit :)

You know you were a little girl in the 70’s if…

Category: A Bed of Flowers. Posted by Lucky at 9:16 pm.

One of my contacts for McKesson sent me this today, and I was crackin’ up!! I told her I still do/have half the list….JOKING…-mostly- *grin*

You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

You had that Fisher Price Doctor’s Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)

You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.

You had either a “bowl cut” or “pixie,” not to mention the “Dorothy Hamill” because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. People sometimes
thought you were a boy.

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers…. and later on came leg warmers…in every color!

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl’s sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle).

You also had a pair of salt-water sandals.

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.

Your hairstyle was described as having “wings” or “feathers” and you kept it “pretty” with the comb you kept in your back pocket.

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends,Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.

You and two of your best friends would play “Charlies Angels”, and whoever was the blonde would automatically be Jill (Farrah Fawcett) and
later on, her little sister, Kris (Cheryl Ladd); and whoever was a brunette would have to argue over being either Sabrina (Kate Jackson) or Kelly (Jaclyn Smith).

Every now and then “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the movie, “Annie” will pop into your brain and you can’t stop singing it the whole day.

YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!

It was a big event in your household each year when the “Wizard of Oz” would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping
bags!

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: “Who will I marry.Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?”

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God’s eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.

Pot holders - I believe they were called loom loopers”.

You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.

You couldn’t wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was a
teddy bear dressed in clothing.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It’s me, Margaret.)

You thought Olivia Newton John’s song “Physical” was about aerobics.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

You spent all your allowance on smurfs and stickers for your sticker album!

You drowned yourself in Love’s Baby Soft - which was the first “real” perfume you ever owned.

Did you know?

Thanks to my Mom for sharing this, I thought it was interesting:

>Phone companies, both regular & cell, are charging us $1.00 or more for 411 / information  calls when they don’t have to. When you need to use the 411 / information  option, simply dial 1 800 FREE without incurring a charge at all (except for the minutes required to make the call if you’re using a cell). - Pass it on.
