Childhood Meme

My blog son Spurs tagged me with this Childhood Meme. Him and I need to go over a few rules on tagging the person that gives you your allowance! ;-)

We're also supposed to remove item #1 from this list, bump everyone up one place and add your blog to the 5 spot applying links to all. (Huh? What for? Whatever...okay)

1. Villainous Company
2. Riehlworldview
3. Third World County
4. Pull My Finger
5. And What Next...

Then tag 4 bloggers you just adore or feel they need something to do...

1. Tammi - I thinks she'll have some great ones
2. Blog mom Bou - Memories of a military child are always good.
3. Little Joe - The dude hasn't posted in over a week!
4. ArmyWife - She tells great stories!

1. Dressing in daddy's Cammies, eating his MRE's, going to play on the tanks, going to Jane Wayne Day, etc. I thought it was so cool my daddy was a Marine!

2. Music Music Music. I remember my first tape - Cyndi Lauper, the first tape I bought myself - Celine Dion, Colour of My Love, the first CD I bought - Reba McEntire, It's Your Call, the first tape I listened to after I was able to break away from country music - New Kids on the Block, and when I started to get into older (to me) music in Jr. High, such as Fleetwood Mac, Def Leppard, Journey, Styx, Pat Benetar, etc.

3. Christmas when I was 13. It was right before my dad and stepmom were stationed in Africa, and the first year I had lived with them. We had a HUGE Christmas. It was the most homey Christmas I've ever had. Huge Christmas tree and the presents came out about 6 feet from the tree. The opened ones were "from Santa" (too lazy to wrap :-) ) And I got EVERYTHING I had asked for. Some of those things: Rollerblades, a Cowgirl outfit (I loved to ride horses) and tons of other stuff.

4. Going to carnivals in Okinawa Japan. I had long blonde hair and blue eyes. Japanese women would just come behind me and run there fingers through it. Freaked me out! But the carnivals were different but cool! I remember going through a human maze that took hours, eating Yakitori (chicken on a stick, yum!) and jumping in the moonwalk until I couldn't walk anymore.

5. Telling my sister she wasn't American (or that she was Japanese) because she was born in Okinawa, Japan! I had her so upset about that until she hit about 13 and she figured me out! I think she's still mad at me!
