So I have changed a bit.
This week I will hold your hand in my sweaty hand and skip down my memory lane of all things awesome in my childhood. And by childhood, I mean until now.
I made a list in my 'Let's Blog Some Shit' notebook of all the things that were my favourites - 3 pages worth of favourites. As I really really really want you to come back to read more of my blogs in the future, I have shortlisted them. It's still damn long. What can I say? I loved childhood. I still live in the past. And I'm still a big kid.
My first Barbies These may have been my sister's
but my memory says they were mine.

My favourite TV Shows |
Going to football matches and swinging on the boundary rails and scalding my tongue with a scorchingly hot meat pie |
McDonald's for a party (that was the only time we had Macca's and you had to drive more than a kilometre to find one) |
Playing softball, netball and rollerskating (still have my skates) |
Elastics |
Spirograph |
Atari, Donkey Kong & recording Top 40 hits on my cassette player |
Growing Pains, 21 Jump Street and The X Files |
The Doug Anthony All Stars (Melbournians will know) |

Atari & Donkey Kong were the iPods of the 80s. They were attached to me all of the time!
DeleteI was thinking of pulling out my old Docs & giving them a run again! That's if they fit me after 5 kids!
Oh how could I forget elastics! Man they were the days!
ReplyDeleteI loved elastics! I would love to teach my girls how to do it.
