Remember when.....

The other day I was thinking about my mom's mom (my favorite grandma) and wondering what it would be like to know her today. I think I would appreciate her stories more now (not that I didn't then) because I would know better questions to ask. Thinking about this made me wonder what kind of stories I could tell, or the things that I could remember that future generations wouldn't know about, but I remembered when.

So, I thought of a few things, like the actual floppy disk. Or a casette tape. Or early computer games, like The Oregon Trail (that we'd play at school in the library.......and Derek would demand to shoot all the buffalo, but do none of the other stuff). Or when video game controlers only had the up, down, left, right arrows and the A or B option. Oh, so simple.

I was falling asleep when I was trying to come up with stuff and I thought of a bunch more, but have since forgotten. What things do you guys remember???

It's August already??

I don't consider myself a hypochondriac, but I seriously believe that I'm growing a brain tumor. You may laugh at my self-diagnosis, but here's why I think so: I was fine yesterday, but then today, I was washing my hair and felt a bump on the back of my neck. As the day has progressed, that sucker has really started to hurt. And ususally, I don't have pains. I'm a pretty pain-free gal. So, I'm worried that it's progressing very fast. I hope I can make it home to eat all the rest of the cookie-dough ice cream I have in the freezer. You know, last meal and all.....

I haven't been blogging very faithfully, or even leaving comments for the blogs that I do read. I don't know why, but maybe it's due to the fact that I don't want to get caught at work. Even though everyone else around here does personal stuff at work and goofs off all the time, I don't want to be that person. But, here I am, clicking away on my keyboard, being that person.

Big birthday bash at the lake this weekend. Should be fun. We get to have Kayla.....I think they're going to teach her how to water ski. Will be hilarious, I'm betting.

Nothing too new or interesting. I just keep getting grossed out thinking of the spider in Kristen's yogurt and the moth that flew up her nose. *shudders*
