Family & Home Family Issues Parenting http://sssmommy.blogdrive.com/archive/50.html Fri, 02 Nov 2007 19:56:53 GMT i'm going to be posting at my other blog for awhile. i started a blog there a long time ago and then switched to blogdrive for some reason. i find that adding pix to blogger is easier than on blogdrive and that's what i really like. plus there is no freakin' add at the top of that blog. i may still use this one for something. maybe just real personal thoughts and such. not sure yet. see you over there: my other blog http://sssmommy.blogdrive.com/comments?id=50 http://sssmommy.blogdrive.com/archive/49.html Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:40:27 GMT my dear friend tracy might read the title of this post and think it's going to be about something much deeper...but it's not. no, i'm talking about old tapes, real ones, not psychological ones. from my last post it's pretty obvious that i've been listening to some old music in the car. when we were moving, i pulled the tapes i had in the car and replaced them with some i hadn't listened to in awhile. there's just something really cool about old tapes. while packing i found one from 1974 (i think) of me and my 2 older sisters. i was screaming and throwing a fit. i was 3. sounded just...
