Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
If I have a rhythm in my head, I have to tap it out using either my fingers or my toes. When I was a kid I was taking guitar lessons and the teacher, who was a bit of a hippie, saw my toes moving inside my shoes and said "whoa, whenever I pluck a string I can see something move inside your shoes" (he must have been really high, now that I think about it). I was embarrassed at the time to admit that I just had to tap out a beat so I just said they were new shoes and made my toes hurt.
ReplyDeleteWe call that sun tricked here. Bright and sunny and inviting, and so cold once you go outside. Where I live it's pretty much sunny all the time including in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself. All the time. It's a source of never ending amusement to my students.
I'm very OCD about checking the stove knobs before leaving the house - repeatedly. And in stores, if I see a can of soup, a box of cereal, or something like that turned upside down I have to fix it. Drives my husband batty. LOL
