klick klacks
Everyone remembers these. They were awesome, but taken off the market because of something stupid; boys probably used them while playing army (or better yet, block chase) as weapons. If I remember correctly, I think the balls shattered (they were originally made of glass - freakin' duhhhhh).

For Women In Their 30's...
Ok, I have to admit it...a lot of these things on this list apply to me. I really did think Gopher was cute. Carol...#20 made me think of you. Although we didn't pretend they were our boyfriends, did we? And I think I still have my Donnie and Marie dolls up in my parents' attic. But what are klick-klacks?
1. You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.
2. You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.
3. You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)
4. You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island .
5. You had eithe r a "bowl cut" or "pixie", not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill".
6. You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.
7. You owned a "Slip-n-Slide", on which you injured yourself on a sprinkler head more than once.
8. You owned "Klick-Klacks" and smacked yourself in the face more than once !
9. Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.
10. You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
11. You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
12. You owned "Mork and Mindy"rainbow striped suspenders
13. You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.
14. You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.
15. You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.
16. You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle).
17. You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on thePrairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture;and you despised Nellie Oleson!
18. Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty"with the comb you kept in your back pocket.When you walked, the "wings" flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna "take off".
19. You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
20. You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.
21. It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV.Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
22. You often asked your Magic-8 ball t he question: " Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy?"
23. You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
24. You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.
25. You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.
26. You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books.(Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)
27. You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
28. You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first "real" perfume you ever owned.

The NEW Look
Matt has been so gracious as to allow Kristen and me to have administrator's rights. I'm not sure if it is a good idea (for me, not for Kristen). I changed the look (we've had the old look for a LONG time and I thought something newer would be a nice change). Also, I sent an email to all the emails I currently have (if you have an updated email, send it to me at stfreeman@rcn.com) and would really like to keep this blog going strong. I know it is summer, but this is the best time of the year for me to play around with the blog. Before you know it, I'll be back in front of 30 students who don't want anything more than to see something blow up. I love Rock's update post. Let's fill it and keep this going.

What's the scoop?
How about everyone give us an update on what they have been up to since the reunion, since summer started, or going to be doing something in the future?

Hen Weekend
My best friend Michelle is getting married in four weeks, so on Saturday 13 of us went to Newcastle for her hen weekend (the female version of a stag night, but it lasts all weekend). Basically, the bride (and sometimes her friends) wear silly things and you participate in that great British tradition - the pub crawl. A pub crawl is defined as getting as many drinks down your neck in as many pubs as possible. It's all done on foot so you walk off lots of the alcohol! We took our best friend Derek The Blow Up Doll along with us, and as you can see, he made lots of friends and had the best night out of anyone. I'm tired! Glad I don't have to do that again for a long time (not until Michelle's sister's hen night next year)!

Shauna Jean arrived on June 6, 2007 at 2:44 am!! She weighed 7lbs. & was 20 1/4 in. long. It's already her one month birthday tomorrow & I can't believe time has flown! The days (& nights) have been filled with diaper changes & bottles so everything has kinda been a blur. Just a few days ago Shauna started cooing and smiling back at us!
Shuli has been the best big sister & Mommy's helper! She loves Shauna soooo much & our only problem is that she kisses her little sister so often that she's been woken up from naps. Something I'd like to curtail for my own sanity;)
Hope all is well with everyone and that you had a great 4th of July! Take care!

Flood Update
The picture is the main street of my little village. Today was the first day since Monday that the street was passable. John went to see if the dentist's office was open (he had an appointment) but it was closed until further notice. He wasn't suprised! John said it was really a shock to see the main street in that state. It's a small village. It's the kind of place where you know shopkeepers by name because they've been there so long - and they get to know you too.
