Goodness, gracious I just can't stop!

So, I got to thinking about Ditto's jeans. Went googling for a pic of them. Here is what I found. Glorious! (thank you Fr. Ryan H.)
from this site.

YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70's IF:

1. ...you wore that rainbow shirt that was
half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve,
across your chest, and down the other. (HAD IT)

2. ...you made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake
Oven. You washed them down with snow cones from your
Snoopy Snow Cone Machine. (WANTED THEM)

3. ...you had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a
stethoscope that actually worked. After training with
these tools you became an expert at the game
"Operation". (HAD THEM)

4. ...you owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a
basket. In the early 80's you moved onto the ever
popular 10 speed. Gosh that seat hurt. (HAD IT)

5. ...you ever owned roller skates with metal wheels. (THAT WOULD BE CORRECT)

6. ...you thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute.
(Admit it!) (OK, OK! I'M A SUCKER FOR GEEKY LOOKING GUYS!)

7. ...you had nightmares after watching Fantasy
Island. (THE PLANE, THE PLANE!)

8. ...you had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days. Your
shoes actually fit inside the boots (with a little
help from your Mom and some plastic bags). (LIVED IN CALIFORNIA, DIDN'T NEED THEM)

9. ...you had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie"
(not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill") because your mom
was sick of braiding your hair. How traumatic when
people thought you were a boy. (YES. AND THE FARAH FAWCETT)

10. ...your Holly Hobby sleeping bag was your most
prized possession. (NAW, BUT I HAD THE DOLL)

11. ...you wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers. (YES, AND OWNED ONE PAIR OF DITTO'S JEANS, WHICH GOT ME ON THIS WHOLE BLOGGING MARATHON TODAY!)

12. ...you begged Santa for the electronic game,
Simon. (YES, AND SINCE I WAS ALWAYS A VERY GOOD GIRL, I GOT IT!)

13. ...you had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those
pink and purple shredded outfits. (YUP. AND PURPLE SOCKS AND A PILLOW CASE WITH DONNIE'S MUG ON IT)

14. ...you spent hours out back on your metal swing
set with the trapeze. (NO, MOM WOULDN'T HEAR OF IT)

15. ...you had homemade ribbon barrettes in every
imaginable color. (YES! PURPLE MOSTLY)

16. ...you kept losing your mittens so your mom bought
you the kind that were attached by a string. (I PLEE CALIFORNIA)

17. ...your Hello Kitty pencil case was cuter than
anyone else's. (YES. I STILL HAVE AN ERASER AND TWIN STARS TOO!)

18. ...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 WANTED TO BE MARY. AND YES, NELLIE WAS NO GOOD UNTIL SHE GOT MARRIED. SEE THE SACRAMENT REDEEMED HER)

19. ...you wanted your first kiss to be at the roller
rink. (AND MAY I SAY IT WAS. THANK YOU ORLANDO)

20. ...your hairstyle was described as having "wings,"
and you kept it pretty with the comb you kept in your
back pocket. (YES)

21. ...you know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well
as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie. (THERE ARE MORE, BUT I WILL NOT GO ON.)

22. ...you carried a Muppets lunch box to school.(NO, HONG KONG FOOEY)

23. ...you and your girlfriends would fight over which
of the Dukes of Hazard was your boyfriend. (TOM WOPAT)

24. ...every now and then "Its A Hard Knock Life" from
the movie "Annie" will pop into your brain and you
can't stop singing it the whole day. (THE WHOLE MUSICAL. I KNEW THEM ALL!)

25. ...YOU had Star Wars action figures, too. (I WAS LEAH!)

26. ...you thought unicorns were real. (DIDN'T FALL FOR THAT RUSE)

27. ...it was a big event in your household each year
when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Break out
the popcorn and sleeping bags! (AND THE SOUND OF MUSIC AND IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE)

28. ...you ever asked your Magic 8-Ball the question:
"Who will I marry, Shawn Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or
Rick Springfield?" (I WAS TORN. SURFING USA, HEY DEANNIE OR I'VE DONE EVERYTHING FOR YOU. TOUGH CHOICE)

29. ...you completely wore-out your Grease, Saturday
Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack albums. (AND WE ACTED THEM OUT IN THE BACK YARD. WHY WAS I ALWAYS THE BAD GIRL?)

30. ...you tried to do lots of arts and crafts things,
like yarn & popsicle stick God's Eyes or those weird
potholders made on a plastic loom. Not to mention
lanyards! (YES. AND THOSE POT HOLDERS WERE A HAZARD. MOM HAD ME LAY OFF THE ARTS AND CRAFTS AFTER SHE BURNED HER HAND)

31. ...you made Shrinky-dinks! (AND STILL DO)

32. ...you used to tape record songs off the radio by
holding your portable tape recorder up to the speaker. (YES. ALL THE DONNIE AND MARIE SONGS FROM THEIR SHOW.)

33. ...you couldn't wait to get the free animal poster
that came when you ordered books from the Weekly
Reader book club. (I LOVED THEM)

girl issues from Judy Blume books. (Are you there God?
It's me, Margaret.) (MOM FORBADE ME TO READ THAT. READ IT WHEN I WAS 18.)

"Physical" was about aerobics. (ISN'T IT?)

36. ...you wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes,
or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs. (YES)

38. ...you wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer. (I KNEW ALL THE MOVES. BUT MY MINI SKIRT WAS LONGER THAN THEIRS!)

39. ...you had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side,
and a Sit-N-Spin.(THE BIG WHEEL WAS MY BROTHER'S, WHO NEVER LET ME BORROW IT. I FLEW OFF THE SIT AND SPIN AND NEVER WANTED TO GO ON IT AGAIN)
