SEAGULLS N STUFF N STUFF

Anybody remember "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"? Back when I first read it, it was like the best book I ever read n stuff. It was so spiritual and the message was all about freedom and love n stuff. So I was at the thrift store the other day and my boyfriend says "didn't you say you like this book?". And sure enough, there it was. I was so excited to see it that I had to buy it and read it right away n stuff.

So, I just got done reading it and I'm so disappointed with my disappointment n stuff. I just didn't feel it the same way I had the first time I read it. I still see the message, but I don't think I would have if I hadn't read it long ago in a more "peace and love" kinda time. It's sad to me that the world seemed to love each other and was more open to peace n stuff back then. I wish that there were more "seagulls" in the here and now n stuff........

TOYS N STUFF N STUFF

I was thinking about some of the crazy toys we used to play with when we were kids n stuff. Of course we had the "Easy Bake Oven" that you could actually cook a little cake in it and all it used was a light 

bulb. Those cakes never did cook all the way. And we had a "Lite Brite" and a "Spirograph" and a "Twister" game.


My brother had hot wheels and we used to use the orange tracks to smack each other with n stuff. Then there was that crazy dude that you would screw onto the end of the hose and it would start swirlin' around all over the place and hit you in the head or the stomach n stuff. I think it was called "Mr. Squiggley" or somethin like that. That was a crazy thing. Did you have a "Slinky" n stuff? 

SUMMERTIME N STUFF N STUFF

I love to remember summertime as a kid. We used to eat pomegranates and our faces and hands would be all red. And there were always lots of dragonflys. I don't see dragonflys hardly ever anymore. They were so cool. And we used to set up the sprinkler in the front yard and run through it. You know the kind of sprinkler that goes back and forth n stuff. 
And we used to get a wagon and go around the neighborhood and collect bottles and then go to 7-11 and turn the bottles in for candy, candy, candy. My mom would always help us with our "shows" n stuff. We had a swingset in the backyard that we would perform our gymnastics and she would lay on the ground and be like our vault and we would run and she would catch us and we'd vault off of her. We'd charge admission for all the neighborhood kids to come in the backyard and we'd perform then go get more candy, candy, candy. 

We always seemed to come up with silly ways to get our candy money n stuff. We used to sell lemonade in our driveway for a nickel a cup. It was such a magical time. I get goosebumps remembering those times n stuff. What I wouldn't give to go back there.........what do you remember n stuff???

MUSIC IS SO AWESOME N STUFF.  I USED TO DO CONCERTS LIKE EVERY WEEKEND, OR A CLUB WITH A BAND PLAYIN, OR EVEN MY BROTHER AND HIS FRIENDS JAMMIN IN THE BARN, ITS ALL LIVE MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU JUST WANNA JOIN IN.....BUT I WAS NOT GIFTED WITH A GOOD VOICE, OR GUITAR/PIANO FINGERS, OR ABILITY TO PLAY AN ELECTRIC INSTRUMENT FOR THAT MATTER. BUT I CAN PLAY THE MEANEST TAMBOURINE!!!!!

HULA HOOPS N STUFF N STUFF

OK, SO WHO DIDN'T HULA HOOP WHEN THEY WERE A KID N STUFF??? WHEN I WAS YOUNGER WE HULA HOOPED STRICTLY FOR FUN N STUFF. BUT I NEVER STOPPED HAVING FUN WITH THAT THING....THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS I WAS ACTUALLY GOOD AT. YEP, I COULD HULA HOOP LONGER THAN ANY OF MY FRIENDS. WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT N STUFF. I EVEN GOT A 2ND PLACE RIBBON AT ONE OF MY COMPANY PICNICS FOR THE HULA HOOP CONTEST (I LET ONE OF THE BOSSES DAUGHTERS WIN). BUT COME TO FIND OUT, IT'S EXCELLENT EXERCISE AND IT'S GOOD FOR THE STOMACH AND THE HIPS N STUFF.


 IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR THE WHOLE BODY AND IS A GREAT CARDIO WORKOUT. SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF HULA HOOPS NOW AND HAVE HULA HOOPED FOREVER. I PUT ON THE MUSIC OUTSIDE AND GET MY GROOVE ON N STUFF. ITS FUN TO INVITE YOUR GIRLS OVER WITH THEIRS AND WE ALL JUST HULA HOOP AND HAVE A BLAST N STUFF.


ONE TIME I WAS IN THE CHECKOUT LINE AT WAL-MART WITH A NEW HULA HOOP IN MY BASKET AND A COUPLE OF GIRLS BEHIND ME SAID "OOH, SHE'S GOTTA HULA HOOP! I'M HELLA GOOD, I CAN OUT DO ANYBODY WITH ONE!". SO OF COURSE I SAID "OH YEAH" - AND THEIR WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WAL-MART, SPINNING LIKE A COUPLE OF 8-YEAR-OLDS, 


TO SEE WHO COULD OUT LAST EACH OTHER N STUFF, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHRISTMAS CROWD. WELL ANYWAY, IT WAS FUN N STUFF AND I'LL HULA HOOP TILL I'M EIGHTY N STUFF........ 

NAILS N POLISH N STUFF N STUFF

HEY, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR NAILS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER N STUFF? OR MAYBE YOU STILL DO? I REMEMBER FOR THE FEET WE WOULD ALWAYS WEAR TOE RINGS N STUFF. 
WE EVEN WORE TOE SOCKS WITH DIFFERENT COLOR TOES N STUFF. BUT THE NAIL POLISH HAD TO MATCH OR TOTALLY NOT MATCH THE FINGERS TO TOES N STUFF.  

REMEMBER THE GLITTER N STUFF. WE USED CLEAR POLISH AND SPRINKLED COLORED GLITTER INTO THE POLISH. SHAKE IT UP REAL GOOD AND APPLY N STUFF.


 PRETTY COOL......N THEN PEOPLE STARTED GETTING LITTLE NAIL RINGS N STUFF. I COULD NEVER AFFORD TO GET MY NAILS DONE, BUT I COULD STILL BE COOL N STUFF. 

PUSH PIN IN NAIL

I WOULD JUST GET A PUSH PIN AND PUSH A HOLE INTO THE TOP OF MY FINGER NAIL (NOT TO CLOSE TO THE TOP THOUGH). 


THEN FIND A CHAIN OR A BROKEN NECKLACE OR EVEN A KEY CHAIN AND TAKE A LINK OFF OF IT. 

LINK FROM NECKLACE

OPEN THE LINK ENOUGH TO STICK IT THROUGH THE HOLE IN YOUR NAIL, CRIMP IT BACK TOGETHER, AND VOILA=YOUR OWN NAIL RING N STUFF.


 AND YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE ALL THE DIFFERENT RINGS YOU CAN CREATE FROM THAT N STUFF. KIND OF FUN N STUFF.
