When I Was A Kid...

My sister Brianna had this idea for a post - I tell things about when I was a kid and how the same things are now...it sounds confusing huh? Here goes;

When I was a kid I was afraid of: The Boogyman and the Dark. I couldn't go to sleep unless there was a nightlight close by.

Now I am afraid of: The kids getting hurt, child molesters (there are some strange people around now a days...), and any more of my tv shows getting cancelled (seriously, my heart can't take it!).

When I was a kid I liked to eat: Lucky Charms cereal, Peaches out of the can, Candy (of course), and Chili Mac (that was probably my favorite dinner until I was in high school).

Now I like to eat: Sub Sandwiches, Chips and Salsa, and Candy, of course!!

When I was a kid my best friends were: Let's see, Kindergarten - 2nd Grade - Tiffany Bryant, 3rd Grade - ? Don't Remember, 4th & 5th Grades - Michelle Cunningham, 6th Grade - Amy Poukka, 7th Grade - Melissa Elsey, Laura Sims, Vicci Ramsay, and Meshanna Bairn, 8th Grade - Melissa, Laura, Gary Penrod, Nicole Sheppard, 9th-12th Grades - Melissa, Laura, Gary, Nicole, Cherri Parker, Andrea Call, Anji Jack and probably a few more.

Now my best friends are: Tim, Melissa, Laura, Anne Pearce, my sisters and sister in laws, my mom, and my kids.

When I was a kid I spent money on: Barbies and Candy from Maverik. I used to save up my money and when my dad was working in the Valley I would give him my money on Sunday night and tell him what Barbie I wanted and then when he came back home on Friday he would bring me the doll I wanted. I always loved that!! I also had him get a few music tapes for me when I started to outgrow the Barbie's. :P

Now I spend money on: BILLS!!! Other than that, food and gas for the car. It's been a while since I last got to spend anything on me...

When I was a kid my favorite things about Christmas-time were: Seeing what Santa would bring me. I was always last in line to go see the presents and I would get so nervous hearing the other kids start getting excited about their presents. I also remember my brothers and I trying to guess what Santa would bring us. I don't think we were ever right! :D

Now my favorite things about Christmas-time are: The decorations, surprising the kids and Tim with gifts, hearing the kids talk about what Santa will bring them, and seeing my family.

When I was a kid I hated to: Clean the house, which I always knew was coming when my mom turned on the Country Music really loud... I also hated doing homework.

Now I hate to: Clean the house and do my kids homework. I always procrastinate mine even though I like it, but theirs seems to be getting harder and harder...

So now that you all know a little more about me and how far I've come since my childhood, write a post like this on YOUR blog! You can finish my senences or make up your own. Have fun!



I thougth I'd add a few pictures just to make it more fun!!
