I Remember

 It has been a while since I last wrote I noticed.  What have I been up to??...

 I have found myself trying to re-live my childhood.  I have been doing so through buying tons of needless crap off of ebay.  I am slowly buying toys for my daughter that I used to love to play with as a kid.  So far I have gotten her 2 care bears, 3 hugga bunch dolls, a sprite (from rainbow bright), a fluppy dog, and am bidding on a popples, barbies, and rose petal place dolls.

Really, I guess you could say they are for me.  I am sure she will think they are total junk!!  I didn't want for anything as a child.  My siblings and I got all of the latest and greatest toys.  The good old days of running barefoot in the streets and riding my 10 speed, woo-hoo!! :) Oh, and jumping around on the pogo ball after school. Stirrup pants, shirt clips, scrunchies, high tops, slouch socks, florescent colored clothes, pound puppies, pound purries, lunch boxes with thermos, fraggle rock, dumbos circus, today's special, real smurfs, snorks, sweet secret dolls, blue eyeliner, aqua net, deb gel, electric youth, glow in the dark spoke covers, records, showbiz pizza, crystals pizza, casa bonita, biker shorts, and a million other things that I know I am forgetting.

Back before technology took over and times were simpler.  I can't imagine what things will be like when my daughter is old enough to have memories.  I remember a time, not too long ago that I didn't even know what the 'world wide web' did.  Boy once I figured that one out I was like a kid in a candy store. 

Now I run across abbreviations for phrases like lol, ty, and some I don't even know what they mean like fml???  Anyway, the only thing I can come up with that it means isn't very nice so I will just leave it to wonder.  Things are a lot different than they were when I was growing up.  I wonder if there will even be such things as books, or will there be a latest and greatest ipad that I will have to get for her to start school.

I don't know, personally nothing beats a good 'real' book.  Not some eye straining screen to look at.  Of course, I was one of the dvd player skeptics.  I will never forget arguing that it can't be too much better than the vhs player...well, we all make mistakes right?  Now I am arguing that blu ray can't be better than a dvd player, but I have yet to find that one out.
