I’m still cool, 20 years later, even without these…

June 25, 2008 by Maren 16 Comments

For you today, and ONLY today I am offering a trip down memory lane.  This will be most appreciated by you if you have the following qualifications:

1.) You’re female.
2.) You are around the approximately the age of 30, give or take a few years.
3.) You had the desire to be cool in elementary school.
4.) Your sense of “cool” was warped as a child from all of the hideous eighties styles.

DO YOU REMEMBER PLASTIC CLIP CHARM NECKLACES?  The person who had the most clip-on charms won the ‘cool’ award.  For some reason, my favorites were the frying pan and the whistle.

It’s fun remembering ‘coolness,’ is it not??? Another factor that only heightened your coolness status was if you were also the proud owner of A POCKET ROCKER–Now, I never owned one of these beauties, but I definitely salivated over my friends’. Even just listening to Tiffany’s I Think We’re Alone Now on my friend’s Pocket Rocker officially made me cool… (For an extra ‘cool’ laugh, click on the song title.)

Wasn’t memory lane a fun place to travel?  So my question for you is:  What childhood toy made YOU cool?

 We recently had a great time with Michael’s family in Brown County, IN.  Here are some pics, since that’s what you care about anyway.

A serious Bocce Ball discussion…

And a trip down memory lane!  THEY BROUGHT ONE OF THESE TO LOUISVILLE, FOLKS (or at least the other side of the river)!!!!  This is several notches above Taco Bell, and a standard Oklahoman cuisine!  I was in my happy place after my order of crunchy potato chicken burrito and mexidips & Chips was no more…

AND… WHAT BE THEE?

Contest Answer: Carbonation in a 2 Liter Soda Bottle (Sierra Mist).  Thanks to the few who played.  Better luck next time!  Special Kudos to my sister’s interesting guess: A globe behind glass that has drops of water on it.  She thought the dark shape on the left was Africa. A+ for creativity!

Stay Tuned in the near future for another WHAT BE THEE? Contest! 

The End…

 

Comment Game

May 29, 2008 by Maren 13 Comments

I found a fun idea for a comment game on another blog, but I need YOU to participate!   Here’s how it works:  Answer the comment question that is right before yours. Then ask a new question for the next Howdytoya friend to answer! Whoohoo!  Let’s have fun! 

I know that are a few people that read my blog by a reader…feel free to comment!  You don’t have to have a xanga account to do so!  Let the fun begin!  (Come on, you know you want to!)

To get the ball rolling… here’s the first question for commenter #1. 

QUESTION: If your life were a book, what would the title be?

Marla, this one’s for you….
