AMAZING LIST. You and Linds had waterbeds? no fair.

Lindsey said...

P, this was an EXCELLENT list. My fave was #31. Lewie Lambros. hhhh. I was teary and laughing all at once on some of them - I had forgotten about the lightning storms and our water beds - that was PDS. I remember when Ben had to help me finally drain that dang water bed when it was leaking and we found some scissors in the bottom of it.

This was a great post Paige. I especially liked "hitch hiking home from Junior high). You were soooo cool if you did this. I was always too nervous. But you were a lot cooler than me.

First of all, who is Scott? And I'm laughing at so many...sewing with Toni, candy at C22, diving lessons at the pool...I think I was in your class and you showed everyone how to do a one-and-a-half! I love your list and might have to copy!!

VERY impressive. I can't stop trying to think of fun things from my childhood now, though I know I can't top your list.

Paige, I love the list. I'm surprised that spying on Holly & Josh (or Shay) from my back yard didn't make the cut.

P.S. Do you think Tessa & Andy will last?

Paige said...

Meg..That is one of my all time favorite past times. Spying in your back yard. But I didn't want to incriminate myself in case I decided to continue my spying in the future. And no...They will not last for 2 months..She doesn't even like him and they are so awkward together.

meg said...

Ok I am SO sad we were both in Utah and didn't get together :(

I know I kind of thought he would choose Bevin b/c it seemed like she liked him more, but I think he thought she was too liberal. I'm going to tivo the final rose tonight. maybe they won't be so awkward.

Also, did you like Natasha or Jaslene better?

Paige said...

I liked Nay Nay the best...So i was bummed when they cut her..But So you think you can dance starts Thursday! My all time fave...

meg said...

I didn't really watch that show last year so I'll have to tune in this season.

I forgot to tell you that I totally know Josie's sister Anne. I think she was in chio with you. She is the second one up on the staircase (the photo on my blog) with a royal blue shirt on and long blonde hair. Small world!!

Paige!! You like so you think you can dance? It is my fave. I have been to the taping twice. We took signs last year that said, "Benji, Will You Marry Me?" He came to our ward a few times along with James, and Heidi. (I am such a geek that I know all their names!)

Did you watch it this week. I was glad "Sex" was back for a second audition.
