I knew you would remember most if not all of these same things. Do you know where your diary is?

Bubble gum was my flavor favorite - I pretended it was pink lipstick. Love's Baby Soft - oh my, I remember what a wonderful Christmas that was -- and getting the set - including the "spray" bottle -- wow! Sher's Kitchen - what a classic place - carmel rolls and hot fudge cake... Do you remember how many nights we ended up there sitting in a booth -- the good old days. Tempo - I totally remember that - I bought my first make up there. The Tastee Freeze - we should take all the boys there sometime when I am up there this summer - I haven't been there in years (no so of the DQ on 8th street -- last Fall I was practically planted there - not because of the icecream - but the train tracks...) What a find - your diary. I still remember what mine looked like and the little key that came with it...Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11646767740080264165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-46988944309301558352009-03-09T12:29:00.000-05:002009-03-09T12:29:00.000-05:00Libby, I am so sorry to hear that!

Oh dear the 70s - well I am way older than you but I think I was sporting a Farrah Fawcett haird do by then. Horrendous now I look back. Oh dear the whole birthday thing. Now that was funny and sad at the same time. Oh how sad when you were 7 - you will never forget that day either. I wish I had kept a diary. It is going to be so great for your kids to read one day too. The good thing is we have our blogs and they are like journals as well. Just dont forget to save your posts somewhere too. I would hate to lose my blog now with all the posts I have done over the last year.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-73868138523305824652009-03-07T08:25:00.000-06:002009-03-07T08:25:00.000-06:00Jill, I was in college when you were in 4th grade!...Jill, I was in college when you were in 4th grade! I totally missed out on the NKOTB rage. I was at the Mall of America this summer and NKOTB were there for a free concert at the mall. We didn't see them, but people were really excited. <BR/><BR/>I did do the jean jacket... I think I had several for quite a few years :)<BR/><BR/>Robynn, between Jo-Jo and Minky I don't know which is the more clever member of your family? The visual of Minky with Dr. Pepper lipsmacker on is classic!!

They've come out again and my daughter got some for Christmas. HUGE chunky things. Minky found the Dr. Pepper, wore it for a few minutes, and then ate it.

I just put it on after I read your post! You can get a whole roll of them at Target! <BR/>Well, I can't help you with the Sher's, which brought back yummy memories, but I can help you with Tastee Freeze....they are open!

They remind me so much of childhood. I also owned a bottle of Loves Baby Soft. I still love to smell it at the drug store whenever I notice it....AAAAhhhhhh..I tried the baby oil and baking thing just last summer for old times sake and sorely regretted it. I share alot of memories of church with my old girl friends. We always had a play date with someone after Sunday school playing house or bringing our babies out for pizza and using highchairs for them. We were so innocent then....Thanks for sharing your memories! :)HHLSShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791556366727096696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-67530825421981546102009-03-06T10:41:00.000-06:002009-03-06T10:41:00.000-06:00Kaleena, well now I WILL have a happy thing to thi...Kaleena, well now I WILL have a happy thing to think about during my birthday!!

I think I usually ended up with an extra dose of attention :) But there is a certain amount of "wonder if something will happen on my birthday THIS year?"
