Can't remember what my brother had as a kid (10 years younger) because I was already out of the house when he moved into his electronics phase.<BR/><BR/>My kids are total Nintendo junkies, though. I do monitor what they play (13 is irritated I won't let him play T games...um, hello? 9 is not a T, I don't want them here). The only thing I've been able to do on Wii so far is the Bowling and Tennis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342901.post-79272460546599583932008-05-14T11:02:00.000-04:002008-05-14T11:02:00.000-04:00I still have my NES that I bought when I was TEN. ...I still have my NES that I bought when I was TEN.

Ahh... the 80s. Yes, I rememb...It's pour here, too.<BR/> <BR/>Ahh... the 80s. Yes, I remember the Nintendo! I had a Sega, though, and I LOVED playing Sonic. I could get to level 20 and that was about it. hehe<BR/><BR/>In the 80s, I had "Willie Scott" hair and her pj's from Temple of Doom. I had high top tennis shoes, too, and Kepas. Remember those? They were these weird shoes with two laces. I bought my first CD in 1988 and had a "boom box" to play it on. (Incidentally, it was Van Halen haha). I wore the lace Madonna glove and hot pink spandex. EGADS.<BR/><BR/>We may be getting older, but you know what? I wouldn't be under 25 for ANYTHING. Besides, I'm going to be 35 forever. heheheMichelle Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461591068144213071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342901.post-35642607905776893462008-05-14T09:52:00.000-04:002008-05-14T09:52:00.000-04:00I think I had that same pink heart sweater? Anyway...I think I had that same pink heart sweater? Anyway, when my kids start making fun of the clothes I wore, I say "Ahem. Excuse me. I was at the height of fashion." Plaid red pants with a brocade vest, lace gloves, pearl earrings and a hat? Very Molly Ringwold. Fifty plastic bracelets, stirrup pants, ankle boots and a lace hair bow? So Madonna. Teal green eye shadow with royal blue mascara and eyeliner...hey, I am a total product of the 80s and proud of it! I think it is cool to have come from the worst dress decade of the last century. We should own up to our metallic prom dresses with the big bows and puffy sleeves. And when my kids look back on their own photos and think, "ugh, why was I wearing that?" I'll repeat the words, "Hey, you were at the height of fashion!"Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647477849442345743noreply@blogger.com
