Thirty -Two Weeks. 56 days to go…
I was reading one of my favorite blogs the other day at Ready To Be A Mom and i couldnt help but love her post on childhood memories… The truth in what she shared was so inspiring, and it really too made me remember the day i was forced to know that i wasnt a child anymore, and that fairy tales wernt real… But again at that point knowing that you want to be a mother because it means you can relive all the magic and wonder that innocence brings… So Today i share with you, just as Holly shared with us, a few of the things that make us who we are today…
- Where/when you born? Brisbane, Australia
- Were you born first, second, etc.? Second of two, i am the ‘little spoil one’
- What was your first pet? An axolotl named yogi, i was never allowed a cat so the walking fish had to do
- Was there a gift you really wanted for Christmas that you never received? My two front teeth, i used to sing that silly song for about 4 years… When i was very little i knocked my front teeth out and they never grew back for years!
- Did you have any imaginary friends? Not that i could remember….
- What were your favorite books? Baby Sitters Club Little Sisters
- What did you wanna be when you grew up? A florist… I used to love flowers
- Favorite after-school, never-missed shows? Hmmm when i was real little, play school and Sesame Street, when i was older – The Bold and the Beautiful…
- What was your favorite toy? Woofie, my pound puppy
- What was your first best friend’s name? Kimberley, we meet in preschool when she wet her pants and lent her my spare ones… Or was that the other way round? We were friends until grade 5
- Broken any bones or had any freaky accidents as a kid? The only bone in my body that has ever been broken is my left index finger. My sister sat on it and snapped it in half when i was 12… Thanx @MrsAngell!
- Did you play house or pretend to be a super hero? Yup, we had cubby houses made out of sheets and cushions, and i had a cape that my mom made me.
- Were you romantically involved with someone as a pre-teen? No, i was a boy friendless looser
- Did you get along with your parents growing up? I can only remember the good times i had with my mother, and i remember being the favorite with my father… There were of course times when we hated each other, when i wasnt allowed to do the things i wanted, when we yelled and screamed… But over all we got along…
- Were you involved in any extra-curricular activities? I was a brownie – does that count? Do they even have that anymore?
- What was the first record, tape or CD you remember buying? The first cd i bought with my own money was in 1999 and i am sure it was Pink…
- Did you ever fall in love with someone in high school? I feel in love with many people in high school, its just a pity they all hated me!
- What was the best thing you remember about your grandparents? Crumpets with brown sugar on them for breakfast.
- What was your favorite home cooked dinner as a child? Beef Croquettes
- Did you enjoy your childhood? Early childhood yes, late childhood no…
