Nostalgic Notes: Toys

I had way too much fun googling pictures of nostalgic toys.  So much that I had to stop myself because I easily could’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time on the task. 🙂   Here’s what I found! I was born in 1976 so I got that awesome 70’s and 80’s era of toys.

I can’t remember what kind of doll this was, but I adored it. I’m about 2 or 3 in this pic. 🙂

I was so good at this game! LOL

FREAKING LOVED my Alphie! They’re not as cool anymore.

I remember playing with this forever.

Such a weird toy but I loved it…

Okay so apparently I’ve always loved monkeys (sorry, Bron… LOL). I had the boy Monchichi and took him everywhere. Then on my 10th bday I got the little mini one but that same day his hair on his head came off so I named him Baldy. LOL He looked so cute with the bald head that we never glued it back on.

Of course I had Wicket the girl Ewok. My cousin Erik who is two weeks older than me had the boy. LOL

I was so sad when we sold this in a garage sale. I was like 19… LOL Hadn’t used it in forever but I fondly remembered it.

True story… my dad bought me a Rainbow Brite but hadn’t given it to me. In the meantime I told him that I thought she was lame. So he never gave her to me. He kept her in his room and tortured me with it. LOL

Pretty sure Erik owned this one… we played with it for hourrrrrs.

I can still remember the sound this made!

Oh yes… the original doctor kit with the case!

Erik had this one too. Fucking hated this game! So much anxiety!  LOL this and Jack in the Box…

SOOOO many hours! Never owned one, but Erik had several. 🙂 They had all the cool toys.

So much love! ❤️

Yesssss!

So much fun!

And last but not least… the Weeble treehouse with the swing! And the choke-able Weebles. They’re so big now so that littles can’t eat them.

Let’s see what the other girls came up with for their nostalgic toys!

Wordless Wednesday: Sadness

Guest Post: Sly Boy

Hi, my name is Sly-Boy. Actually, my given name is Sly Cooper but no one ever calls me that.

I am beautiful. The runt in the background is Storm. Shea’s okay and sometimes I let her clean my ears, but she’s a baby and has way too much energy.

This is my window. I use it to watch the birdies, the Bringer of the Boxes, and all of those low class strays who seem to think they own the big room outside of my window. One day I will figure out how to get into that room.

That’s the Elder Cat, Kira. She says mean things to me. I get her back by making poo in her favorite litter box.

See my paws? Beautiful.

Sometimes I do cute things like this with my beautiful paws. Then when someone pets my belly, Kung Fu Kitty! Rawr!

I suppose I should talk about my human since this is her blog. She gives good head bumps for a human, I don’t like it when she cleans my ears, and I only bite her occasionally.

I’m bored now, send canned food, and those puffy Cheetohs things.

Love,

Sly

Wednesday Words : My Perfect Weekend

This weekend is my birthday!! So that’s pretty perfect. 🙂 I love birthdays.  I decided to just share pictures of previously perfect weekends because I’m too tired to write anything and WordPress is being a jerk.

Wordless Wednesday: on my walls

This week’s topic is easy peasy! We’re starting a new thing called Wordless Wednesday once a month where you’ll get photos of our weekly topic. This time around we’re sharing what is on our walls. Since we just moved we’re still in the process of getting things hung up. There are a whole lot of picture frames that haven’t yet made it. But here’s a quick tour of the few things that are in place. 🙂

what you’re reading

I’m a pretty avid reader but I’m in a bit of a funk with the book I’ve been reading.  I’ve stalled and can’t seem to get going.  But… as of last night I started a new knitting project so that’s what I’ve been reading today.  The Carousel sock pattern from Knitty.com. It’s a pretty awesome pattern and I’m loving it, although I’m pretty sure I’m going to change yarns because I’m not digging the results yet.

Here’s a picture of what the socks could look like.  Pretty awesome, yes?

Photo-A-Day May 14 & 15

grass

I’ve always loved the color green.  Even when I thought my favorite color was something else, there was always a love for the color green in there.  I can remember the green crayon in a pack of Crayola’s being my favorite.  I used to make sure that my pictures always had grass and trees in them so that I could use my green crayon. 🙂

 

love

I’m a knitter and if there’s one thing you should know about knitters is that we generally are the ones giving the knitting while no one really knits for us.  I’m a part of our local Knitting Guild here though and six months ago we were given the opportunity to participate in a secret swap.  Each participant had to bring in enough of their yarn to make a scarf, cowl, or shawl.  I picked a scarf because I’m not a shawl or cowl person.  The yarn that each person brought was then packed up into secret brown paper bags and mixed up among other members.  I got someone’s yarn and had to make a scarf for her while someone else got my yarn and made a scarf for me.  Tonight was the reveal night and I got my scarf back.  I’m in LOVE!  I’ve had this sock yarn for a few years and have always loved it but never picked a project for it.  Judy who did the knitting for me made this beautiful scarf and I just adore it.  It’s so wonderful to have someone knit for me for a change!

Photo-A-Day May 9 – 13

I’m happy to report that I’m slowly but surely getting over the cold that made me fall behind in these posts.  Sadly, however, I gave the cold to my mother and she’s been sick on Mother’s Day. 😦

Let’s get caught up, shall we?

something you do every day

I’m a bit of a Twitter Whore.  I love Twitter.  I love how on Twitter I can say what I want and generally won’t be attacked for it if people disagree with me (unlike Facebook where people are not always as tolerant).

 

a favorite word

This is a tattoo that badly needs touching up.  Buuut, it’s one of my favorite words… Hope.  Having clinical depression sucks ass and sometimes on my bad days I need a little reminder to hang in there.  This little gem does just that for me.

 

kitchen

For Mother’s Day I made stuffed peppers for dinner.  I’ve gotta say, they were pretty damn good. 🙂

 

something that makes you happy

This is my baby, Kira.  Although there are days when I want to strangle her… I love her and she makes me happy. 🙂

 

mum

One of the gifts I got for my mom for Mother’s Day is this sweet little nurse figurine. 🙂  She loved it, and I love her. ❤
