    • Toy Fads From My Childhood Days
      • sit n spin

        I don't know about the most popular toys when I was a kid, but I know the one toy I couldn't get enough of was the Sit-n-Spin. I remember mine was red, with Strawberry Shortcake stickers. I would spin that thing like crazy... sometimes I'd have it going so fast that I'd pick up off the ground on one side. I don't know why I loved it so much.

        Honestly, I think they should make an adult version. Just think, it could be a new workout routine. You could really build up your upper body!

    • The Town with the Nicest People
      • nc 020

        In my experience, the town of Manteo, NC has the most friendly people. This small, quaint town in the Outer Banks is a wonderful place to visit. Everywhere you go people are saying hello, helping you find something, offering suggestions of where to go for dinner, etc. I adore the movie theater in town. Every time we visit, we are greeted at the door and it feels like we're joining family for movie night at home. I love the laid-back, relaxed atmosphere and so does my husband. In fact, I have a hard time getting him to leave when our vacation is over.

    • On Predicting My Future
      • I was asked "Ten years ago, did you expect that your life would be anything like it is today?"

        Not exactly... ten years ago I would've thought that by now I would have at least one child. I recently came across a Memories book that I completed the year I graduated high school (15 years ago). It was sort of like a yearbook, but you fill it out with things like where you will be 10 years from now. Well, I thought at the age of 28 that I would be engaged and driving a new convertible sports car. Well, that part was pretty close. I actually did get married right before I turned 28 and my car is a two door stick, kinda sporty with a sunroof... I did plan on having my first child before I was 30, but here I am almost 34 and no babies.

        On the other hand, I do have a good life. My husband and I have been together forever (14 years). We have a nice house and an adorable little pup. Life doesn't always turn out the way you expected, but sometimes you're happy anyway!

    • My Favorite Type of Music for the Road
      • 2008_05_26_car_radios_04

        When driving, you have to be careful when choosing music. Sometimes when I listen to Prodigy I catch myself speeding like crazy. Other times, I may be listening to something like Adele and I find that I'm so lost in the music I haven't been paying attention because I've driven right past my exit. Sometimes on a long stretch of highway I like to listen to songs that I like to sing (alone of course), and other times I listen to sappy songs that make me cry. Just make sure you choose the appropriate genre for your trip and your mood!~
