What five items define your childhood?

So I recieved a text from Cassidy last night that she had had to save her Popple sleeping bag from her mother's garage sale! I could appreciate the severity of this because that sleeping bag defines our childhood. It was the coolest most amazing sleeping bag we had ever used or seen! So, it led to a quick text discussion of the other things that define our childhood. We decided that Patrick of course was key not to mention tiger tail donut...yummy. So this morning on my way to work I tried to think of the top five items that defined my childhood...it was a very fun game that kept me occupied on the drive to WIU. So the list is as follows....

1)The Popple Sleeping bag-any true 80s child had a popple....well CASSIDY had a popple that let YOU get inside its pouch with it....awesome right? I was way jealous of this fact..although cassidy and I did share...bad thing about being taller...i outgrew the popple sleeping bag first..boo

2)Patrick aka Dirty Dancing.....our first love We use to sneak into my parents bedroom during nap time to watch this movie....it defined our later thoughts on how guys acting and the kind of guy we wanted...we both wanted a Patrick of our own... :) lol I know the corner quote is the most known...but however my life was defined by the "I carried a watermelon" moment

3)Tigger Tail Donuts.....they were glazed donuts from Day & Palin that had two different colors (a dark and a light)of dough braided to form a tigger's tail....we loved them and grandpa sap provided them as well as Larry faithfully every birthday! I, however, have not found them in years...

4)Wuzzles....although it was a short lived cartoon/book series I loved them..I had and still have (I know i'm cool) all of the characters in stuffed animal form. It was perfect for my love for animals. Two animals formed into one....awesome.

5)This was the hardest one to pick....between ALF, Dukes of Hazzard, and The Monkees...however Monkees have to win...they were my first cassette and I had no clue that davey jones was old....he was cute on the tv when I watched The Monkees with Grandpa Sap and Grandma polly every day...

anyway...so that's it five things that define my childhood.....

Love, me

...I will blog more..

Okay...well i have been horrible about keeping up with my bl0g..but I shall try again....
Things are great right now....I love school for the first time I am completely working towards a true career path I want instead of what everyone tells me I would be good at! yay for me! I have been attempting to put together my halloween costume.....Halloween is hands down my favorite holiday. This year I am going to be an EMU! We have Howl-zoo-ween at work so I thought I should I go as my favorite zoo animal. I plan to finish construction of the costume this weekend....I even have a beak! I called about colored contacts but they would be 95 DOLLARS A LENSE! Needless to say I told them nevermind.
This weekend is SRD....the worst two weekends in Farmington of the whole year hands down and yet I love it! I love it because I have already plans my meals for the weekends....as I work sundays jeff may have to pick up some of my food for me..lol Porkchops, baked potatoes, nachos, onion rings, walking tacos, dumplings, kettle corn....mmmm Truly I just go to eat...and I am okay with that fact.
Love, me

Puppies

I wanted to post a couple puppy pictures.....they are 3/4 miniature dachshund and 1/4 miniature poodle. Born: April 29th 2010 Payton had 3 girls (2 dapples and 1 solid black) and 1 boy (dapple)! All of our puppies are healthy and plump! I will try to take their pictures next to a soda can or ruler and post it! :)

annoyed

I wrote a long post and it didn't save! WTF Anyway to keep it short because I don't want to retype my long entry........
Payton should have puppies within 24 hours or at least this weekend......
Ozzie jumped into the pond after a frog. He was smelly and gross and had to have a bath.....
Jeff is going to Milwaukee this weekend to visit Chris/Krista, but I have to stay with Payton since she is having the babies....

CATHY DOUBET and I are suppose to meet up for ice cream! YEAH!.....

Decisions Decisions.....

So I have no job for next year as of today April 20, 2010. I, however, do have several ideas in motion including but not limited to pre-school teaching next year after taking two child development classes at ICC while going back for an endorsement in math, english, or special education. (I have emails/calls/transcript evaluations out to both Bradley and ISU to aid in my decision there) I will of course continue to apply for any Social Studies jobs that come open for next year that would change my whole plans and be a blessing!
I am still waiting to hear back from the Zoo.....please pray! :) It would be a wonderful parttime summer/year round opportunity......I will keep you all updated.
We are expecting puppies in about a week! Payton/Ozzie puppies! If anyone is interested in one please let me know. I will post pictures as soon as possible! :)
