Guess who is going to see Donny Osmond in concert tonight?

That would be me.


IF YOU WERE A GIRL IN THE 70'S

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine

**I never had an easybake. Shocker isn't it?

 You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.

**I don't know if I had a Doctor's Kit, but we did have a stethoscope.

 You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.

**Red, white, and blue with stars! But no basket.

 You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.

** Yeah, on my front porch. I lived in the country remember.

 You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)

** Not as cute as Starsky....

 You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

*** No way! I *loved* Fantasy Island.

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

** I could only dream of having Moon boots.

 You had either a bowl cut or pixie cut not to mention the Dorothy Hamil because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair.

**Dorothy Hamil, I curse your name.

 People sometimes thought you were a boy.

** Yep.
 
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

**Wasn't into Holly Hobbie. I had a maroon bag with a yellow zipper. I used to sleep in it on top of my bed.
 
You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

**Hand crocheted poncho from my Granny. It rocked.
 
You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set.

** I had a tire swing for the longest time. But then I finally got a swing set.
 
The swing set tipped over at least once.

** At least.

 You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

** No way. That would have been too girly for this tomboy.

 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 Olson!

** I didn't want to be one of the Wilders, but I did despise Nellie!

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

** Actually it was behind the barrels (some odd contraption we had in the playground we could crawl through).

 Your hairstyle was described as having wings or feathers and you kept it pretty with the comb you kept in your back pocket.

** I don't remember wings until high school and then I tried my best not to have them be too big.
 
You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

** Yeah, fraid so.

 You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic.

** I had a Pinocchio one.
 
You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.

** Again I have to play the Starsky card.
 
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.

** 'Stead of kisses, we get kicked.
 
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!

** You mean my maroon one with the yellow zipper?
 
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.

** Sadly, I saw Grease 13 times when it came out on HBO when I was like 9 years old.
 
You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.

** Ozzy's Crazy Train I taped off the radio while at my Granny's house in California. That's what made me a fan all those years ago.
 
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books.

** Judy Blume rocks!
 
You thought Olivia Newton John's song Physical was about aerobics. (Ladies, please say this one ain't so!)
** uh..yeah…afraid so. On of my basketball coaches used to walk around singing "Let's get a physical, physical." when it was that time of the year when all the athletes had to get a physical.

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

** Nope.

 
You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

** Nope.

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

** I had a Hugger which was kinda like a Big Wheel, but it was made of metal. I have a scar on my knee from it. I also have a scar on my knee from my motorcycle.
 
You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

** Dynamite and Mad Magazine.

You spent all your allowance on smurfs and stickers for your sticker album!

** Uh, no. I bought Richie Rich and Archie comic books.
