• getting to spend the night at my mom's work (nursing home) since she had to work through the night doing something- my sister and i got to stay in the lounge with as many movies and as much junk food as we wanted...it was awesome
  • playing hangman with one of the nurses at the hospital while my dad had to work- i chose the word Maine and for whatever reason i remember that specifically. a lot of my memories involve health care facilities.
  • going to california to visit my mom's best friend on their beautiful mountain with all of their cows
  • living in queen's lake and playing with my group of friends, most of whom i went to preschool with
  • st. stephen's preschool was essentially the best place ever
  • wearing some of my favorite outfits: my blue/white striped jumper with it's awesome buttons..and other assorted outfits from the carousel
  • matthew whaley elementary school- i still am friends with people i met there. everyone got along for the most part which was a big shock when we got to middle school to find the other kids already had girlfriends and boyfriends and cliques?
  • nugget- our crazy ass dog. he used to wander the neighborhood and always come back home back in the day when everyone in our neighborhood knew each other and wouldn't call the dog catcher.
  • falling asleep on my mommy's lap on our screened in porch after dinner
  • playing with my made up family- i pretended i had like, 50 kids and knew all of their names and who got along and i would adopt them out of catalogues, buy them clothes, and take them to sports practice. at one point i saw a clip from what i think was Yours, Mine, and Ours with Lucille Ball but that was after i had my faux children.
  • teddy, the most awesome teddy bear in the whole world. i apparently asked for one for chirstmas when i was very young and my dad went out and got me one...to my mom's shock it was a Steiff bear from the toymaker and cost near 100 dollars...lucklily i worshipped the thing and never ripped it or got it dirty
