Want to know what I was like as a child? This photo sums it up...
There are three things you need to know about this photo: 1) I'm wearing my mother's green wool skirt (safety pinned to hold it up) in mid-summer, 2) I'm also wearing a yellow patchwork apron (a la "Little House") while roller skating, and 3) I was learning how to French braid and it didn't matter what the end result was, I went out that way. I was a unique (that's a nice way to say, kooky oddball) child. When it comes down to it, I guess I'm still uniquely oddball-ish (but my French braids look a lot better).

Must-read-once-a-year book?
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

Favorite Dunkin' Donut - just in case you're ever wondering, "Hmm...I'm at DD, I wonder what Carrie would get if she were here..."

The DD Sour Cream - your quandary is at an end (you're welcome).

Most memorable childhood vacation?
Hawaii (1987) - Memorable because my mom forgot to pack my bathing suit, so we had to buy one in the hotel shops. I thought I had died and gone to heaven because all of my bathing suits up to that point had come from K-Mart or Hill's, and this one actually had a matching jacket/cover-up! Mom thought she was going to die when she looked at the price tag.

Least favorite household chore?
Cleaning the bathrooms (followed closely by cleaning the floors - in fact, it could be a tie)
And that's it for today, folks. Another rousing round of "Getting to Know You", presented by yours truely. Thanks for visiting and come again!

ReplyDeleteI just added a blogroll to my blog and you're on there, hope that's okay :-)
The Westing Game is one of my favorites. LOVE. I don't mind cleaning the bathroom. My least favorite chore? Unloading the dishwasher.
