Met some relatives while there. They were kind of stiff,
but posed for the camera.

Yes I like your blog, but I am not a royal pain!
Did that White Castle have a drive-thru or was it in too rough of a neighborhood for that?
"Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg. Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes. It's a duck blur.
You might solve a mystery...or rewrite history!
Duck Tales, Woo-ooh! Tales of daring, bad and good luck tales, Woo-ooh!
D-d-d-danger, watch behind you, there's a stranger out to find you.
What to do? Just grab onto some Duck Tales, Woo-ooh! Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, Woo-ooh!"
And we all know I don't need to prove that I know the Fresh Prince of Bel Air themesong too.
A good list, although some of those things are from the early 90s. Remember when you got me a smiley faced slap bracelet, Kate? I thought it was sooooooo cool. I also distinctly remember a couple of older sisters of mine that were fans of the "big hair" movement.
Hello again. Yes we do like your blog! Checking it out here up at Doe Library. Big hair? hey I wish it was big now. Jenny's coming to visit next...
#46 is one of Jane's favorite books right now. We read it every night.
And yes, I did tight roll my jeans, any pants for that matter.
Blog looks good here at go bears Berkeley. I think i did all 67 things on that list. But it was Chrissy Rosso who made my hair big, not my fault!
I'm ready to come home and go sailing - so get your laser part NOW! love you bye.
I remember playing the Oregon Trail game at school, shooting the bears for food was the best part, but let's not forget my unsurpassed skills at Frogger, CPK, Antarctic Adventure, Mousetrap, and Popeye. Colecovision will always rule. And having a mullet, by the way, made me better at all of these thngs, and flapped in the wind with the plastic streamers on my bike.. so there.
I knew you guys could relate...Jordache jeans, the fresh prince rap... what a silly childhood you had!! Once again, Molly, you impress...Duck Tales? Perhaps I was sleeping in (or off at Reserves) on Sat AMs? And next time you phone, you're going to have to clue me in on some of these - being a mom in the eighties does not give the full picture, culturally, I guess.
Just discovered this blog, don't know where it came from but number 5 in the famous people quiz is quite a hunk! MLBH
