meme-tastic

Sometimes I reveal really random information about myself in memes. I don't think it's a great idea to put them in the blog chronology, so here they shall live.

I miss my childhood

I was a simple boy, and I enjoyed simple things. When do people stop being so easy to please? These are a few of my favorite things from childhood

  • Putting milk in the Hershey's bottle to get the last of the syrup out and drinking it straight from the bottle
  • Dancing on Mom's feet
  • Eating Dad's chili just to prove I could handle it
  • Building forts on the couch with blankets and pillows
  • Marbles
  • Jumping in leaves
  • Riding in the cart behind the mower
  • "Camping" in the living room
  • Stepping barefoot onto the porch after the first good snow
  • Dipping buttered toast in hot cocoa
  • Fluffernutters
  • Bubble baths
  • Building dams in the creek
