happy monday! how was your weekend? i have been somewhat amiss with my blogging and meant to do this yesterday! i visited rebecca's blog and found a nice list of things that used to excite her when she was younger! i thought it would be a good idea to make a list too.
so without further ado, things that used to excite me when i was younger:
- pool parties
- walking down the toy aisles
- fireworks on new year's eve
- family parties
- drinking pop (soda- we were only allowed to drink coke at parties!)
- friday night line up of batman, x-men, are you afraid of the dark?
- 10-hour family roadtrips
- presents from my godfather who lived in germany and malaysia. the best one was a matryoshka doll (it saddens me that i no longer have it!)
- writing and acting out skits in grade school
- mr. squiggle, play school, sesame street
- sappy mexican soap operas/telenovelas that we used to watch in secret: marimar, maria mercedes (the nannies let us watch them!)
- barbie dolls
- hello kitty stationary
- stamps
- stickers and sticker books (esp. felt, shiny, or scratch and smell, lisa frank stickers)
- cross-stitching
- buying dmc skeins and embroidery loops
- starting a new pattern
- home ec class (we started at a really young age - grade 2!)
- blue kool aid
- cheese stuffed hotdogs
- breakfast at mcdonald's
- sonic on sega
- mario brothers and duck hunt on nintendo
- school supply shopping

what's yours? what used to excite you when you were younger?
my next list will probably be things that get me excited presently. nutella for sure will be one of them. especially when it's on sale. :)
