Still Nothing New...
So how about a photo meme? I found this one out on the vast wasteland of the internet.

Wondering About...
FAVORITE THINGS
What are the things that you consider special?
A teddy bear that you've had since you were three years old? A pair of shoes that make you look fabulous? A ring that a lover gave you?
Whatever it is that you hold dear...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tend to assign sentimental value to pretty much anything I come in contact with...Hence, my somewhat over-vigalant and obsessive tendency now to throw things away before I get attached... seriously, I have, among many other things, the LABEL from a bottle of soda from a goodbye dinner the night before a good friend moved away in 1990'ish, my 7th grade hall pass, every stuffed animal I ever had, notes that got passed to me in middle school, movie stubs, baseball tickets, seashells, sand....I think I even may have a chickenpox scab somewhere (gag)... Yeah...you get the idea.
So here are just a few of treasured things that were quickly accessible (don't even get me started on the rubbermaid boxes that are in my storage closets):
The glass from my little-kid dish set (I have the bowl too-- EBayers, calm down, these mint condition vintage Strawbery Shortcake items *aren't* for sale ;)
A sweatshirt my grandfather gave me. It's about ten sizes too big, but I could never part with it.
My wedding dress -- still hasn't been cleaned after four years. Oops. Now I'm actually kind of attached to the dirt on it. (authentic reception dirt!!) Argh.
One of my favorite shirts of Tom's. It's not in the best shape, but it's a shirt he wore on one of our first dates... I've always loved it.
A mix tape Tom made for me when we were dating.
The hair from Ben's first haircut.
A basket containing Ben's hospital hat, his hospital binky, his christening shoes and the winning string from the stomach-measuring game at my baby shower.
My teddy bear. It sits on a shelf in Ben's room right now...
I could go on and on... but I'll leave you with those.
Now. How about you? Post some pics of your treasured things and leave a comment letting me know you've posted! :)
