Okay I have been sitting here for over an hour trying to write something for your carnival Jane, but I am sorry, nothing is working for me. I have started writing on a number of topics and then deleted what I have written. I have always known that SKOW was your favorite movie, but do you know that I have only seen it once, and I know more about it from you than from actually watching it? I tried writing about maternal influence, but decided that what I wrote was too cliche. I tried writing about what it actually means to me that “girls can be whatever they want to be” but I don’t have the time to sort out all of my thoughts and ideas on that one. I am still trying to figure out what it is that I want to be. I don’t have anything original to say about judging a book by its cover. I think I have reminisced about High School with you in an e-mail in the last couple of months and also for your birthday post last year, so I didn’t want to go there again. I am sorry to let you down, but I will try and do better next week. Maybe if you had used a quote from my favorite movie, “The Great Muppet Caper” I would have fared better.

Honesty…the best policy. I’m so grateful for family dinner time and that our parents were just THERE for us. Mom stood outside the bathroom and talked me through my first tampon. What a memory. Great post.

Is the “What I’m doing…” on your sidebar the twitter thing? I would get way too caught up in that!

I loved your post. Mine is more on judging people...hopefully, if you stand on one foot and lean just right, it fits your Makes Me Smile criteria! We are THAT family's last blog post..Pushing up Daisy

We eat together as a family regularily and it is always fraught with some conversation - sometimes serious and sometimes very silly. Knit-Wit's last blog post..A Shopping We Will Go

Jane, I posted here; I don’t see your Mr. Linky box to post my link.

I’ll check back later and add my URL if Mr. Linky is up and at ‘em!

Smiles to you.
