My childhood

Oh, the memories!!!

I would be so excited to pick the best Trapper Keeper and folders at Pathmark each summer

LOVED BOOK IT!!!  I remember going one time with Devin.

Devin also gave me his sticker albums... I wish to Hod that I hadn't thrown them out :(

They were so loud!

They sold these at the party store in Brookhaven.  I don't think I ever owned them but man, did I think they were neat!

Don't touch the middle!  And we'd have to turn off the computer between discs! Gabby had a newer computer that required a code... I thought it was cool

I sing that song to my girls.

PBS Bob Ross with fundraising calls!

Dewey decimal system! 

I rocked the tin foil!!

I. LOVED. GARBAGE PAIL KIDS.

Plus I loved Red Butt at recess.

Ecto cooler!!!

And Slice- what ever happened to Slice?!?

Meg had a glo worm I remember.  Nicole Liounis bought one for Jaylee too.

But nothing beat a Cabbage Parch Kid...not even the home made one from Mommom Moore.  I remember watching the news about riots at toy stores.  When we were lucky enough to go to toys R Us- where they turn your smile upside down- I would stare longingly at them.  I didn't get one for years because we couldn't afford the $30 price tag.

We also never Had a Nintendo... I would spend hours at Amy's house playing Super Mario Brothers, and hours at Courtney's house playing Zelda.

The shoes!!!! Reebok pumps, my beautiful LA Gears, the boys had BK Knights and...  JELLIES!!!

The spandex!!!  That I was NOT allowed to wear, even when I was given them as a birthday present:(

I was standing in the office at TCA Elementary School, watching it on a little boxy TV, hanging in the corner...

Though we did not watch TV much, there were a few GRWAT shows.  Family TV night was the Cosby Show on Thirsday night.  After school every once in a while I got to watch PBS' Mathnet. And Satirday mornings we recorded on our VCR PeeWee's Playhouse if we were gonna miss it.  Other favorite cartoons were Smurfs, Muppet Babies and Jem. I would, literally, practice for Double Dare when I was in the shower... I wanted my family to try out SO BAD.  LOVE The Golden Girls' theme song... Thank you for being a friend. Travel down the road and back again. Your heart is true, your a pal and a confidant. And if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say "thank you for being s friend!"

We had Betamax and VHS.

We jammed to Jem and Rock-n-roll Minnie Mouse!  Heaven is a Place on Esrth, I think We're Alone Now, Paula Abdul, Tiffani and Debbie Gibson...

Electric Mike and his twin we're absolute favorites!!
