Family Time Weekend Recap
Happy Monday all! I hope y'all aren't melting in the heat because it is MISERABLE! Today we are going to apparently break records from the heat and be at 100 with heat index way higher. Yay. This will be me for the next week: source We went to my second cousin's graduation party. I purposely wanted to arrive about 45 minutes later than the start time. You don't want to get wrangled into setting up, babysitting, etc and that happened to people arriving earlier from what I heard so smart call on my part. Also everyone is always chit chatting and we knew if there would be food it would be about the time they'd be eating...right again. We already ate so we were good to go and then shocked the sh*t out my family when we walked in. Final goal: ✔ The grad immediately popped up and came over to hug us and be a good hostess which was so cute. She's always been a very sweet kid but also a little badass. She was the only wrest...
GI Joe figures was a big one that I really got into as a kid but pretty much completely gave up at some point and never really looked back. I also collected Star Wars figures but I still have some of those vintage ones so can't say I ever stopped with those.
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated with eagles in high school and into college, and collected statures, pictures, etc. I still like them, but somewhere along the way realized I had enough. I still have quite a few hanging out here, but I don't add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteIn high school I used to collect cows and cow printed stuff. I think I got rid of it all during a cross-country move. The only thing I collect now are handmade boxes and/or Christmas ornaments from countries where I have travelled.
ReplyDeleteI collected some Dalmatian stuff when I was younger, but the bigger collecting started when we moved into this house. My husband discovered Yahoo Auctions at the time and I started finding Longaberger stuff that both of us liked. Well, then I learned about Ebay and between the two sites, all bets were off. I know have a basement FILLED with baskets, pottery, linens, etc of Longaberger. Last fall I was dropping something off in a friend's trunk and I ended up giving her all the boxes of Longaberger holiday dishes. She loves the stuff but would never accept anything as a gift. Well, she had no choice now because I told her I wasn't bringing all that back into my home! LOL Another thing I collected were the Fitz and Floyd Mice figuirines. I just love those little guys and had boxes upon boxes. I think I only have a handful now though as I sold most of them on Ebay.
ReplyDeleteCount me in on the Dalmatians and Longaberger collections. When we moved back to PA from FL we divested of all of it - and I just breathe easier knowing it's not all stashed in the basement.
