[those that apply are in bold]

You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine. -- Didn't have the Snow Cone machine but lived for the Easy Bake. Used it every weekend. I've even contemplated buying one for my office because it would just be such a hoot.

You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked. -- Yep. Loved that, too. (It allowed me to save the lives of many stuffed animals.)

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it. -- Yes, and it was purple. I also had a couple of kick ass Big Wheels.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels. --Well, yes, except that I never really mastered that.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!) --No, but I did watch the Love Boat religiously. And I wanted to be Vicky.

You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island. --But only a couple times.

You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.

You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamil" because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. People sometimes thought you were a boy. --OMG. Who wrote this thing? Were you spying on me? Yes, I was doomed to have both the Pixie and then later the Dorothy Hamil, much to my dismay. And yes, people did mistake me for a boy more than once. So glad it wasn't just me!

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers. --Not the knickers.

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon. --Yes, and it worked! Ha ha! I kicked some Simon ass in my day.

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits. --I had them all right, along with a couple Donny & Marie albums. (Donny's doll also had purple socks!) I was forever envious of my cousin who also had the D&M soundstage.

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once. --It was on the side of the house and it never tipped over. Dad did something to it.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals.

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olsen! --Never worse the shirt in a school photo but yes, that Nellie Olsen was a real little bitch!

You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.

Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket. --Ugh, how horribly hideous.

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, BlueberryMuffin and Huckleberry Pie. --But didn't have any SS toys.

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. --Had a metal lunchbox but it wasn't Muppets...it may have been Scooby Doo.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.

Every now and then "It's a Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie" will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.

YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!

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! --No sleeping bags but we always watched it. Always watched Sound of Music, too.

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?" --Although Rick Springfield was a bit past my Magic-8 ball days.

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album. --Oh, you've no idea. My cousin and I had an entire dance routine worked out to the Grease soundtrack. LOL

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom. Pot holders - I believe they were called "loom loopers". --Those potholders. I went to town with those, so much so that mom told me she didn't need any more potholders so, following the suggestion on the box, I'd make 8 at a time and 'loom' them together to make placemats. They were so ugly!

You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts! --Would you laugh at me if I told you I have Shrinky Dinks in my closet now?

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker. --I'd forgotten all about this! It's a long way from iPod.

You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was a teddy bear dressed in clothing. --My favorite was a black velvet unicorn poster (with a rainbow, of course) that glowed in the dark.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.) --Adored those books. Always thought it would be fun to re-read them now.

You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics. --Shamefully, yes.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin. --Oh yeah, baby, I sure did.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat. --Didn't have subscriptions but I did read them.

You spent all your allowance on smurfs and stickers for your sticker album! --Hey, whatever happened to that sticker album?! Stickers were my life (sad, I know). I vividly remember having these stickers that read, "Merry Christmas from Luke & Laura." LMAO
