I've given up facebook for Lent.

Ohhh man, what have I done?! For a little less than forty days (I'm starting a bit late) I will not let myself log on, check anyone's status, look at their uploaded photos or learn 25 interesting facts about them. I have turned off email notifications too, so I won't be able to cheat. I just know this is going to be so difficult- I'm used to checking facebook several times a day.

And Lent hasn't come at a worse time either- it doesn't end until the 5th of April, which means that I won't be able to upload anything from or about my goddaughter Isabella's christening or my 21st birthday. Booooo. But I'm determined to just do this because heck- Jesus walked in the desert and fasted for forty days and nights.. and with all the sins I've committed, it's the least I can do to make it up to him and show him I'm grateful for the sacrifices he made.

...PS- Going without food for forty days is amazing. Seriously, my stomach whines after forty SECONDS. Jesus is legendary.

Things from my childhood

Thanks to the rain, the garage was flooded yesterday and move boxes of stuff into the house. We found about ten boxes of toys and realised we need to either give them away or throw them out. Here are some of my oldest, most loved belongings.

Minnie Mouse puppet: This is an actual Disney branded toy but it doesn't look very accurate. lol.



Polly Pocket Tropical Adventure Hut Book thingy: Remember when Polly Pockets were reeeeally small?













Polly Pocket Picnic wrist band: The plastic band was annoying and really clung to your skin. So much that when you'd take it off (more like peel it off), it'd make a sssshhhh sound.





Scooby Doo 'recorder': This was from Wonderland. *wipes tear*



Fish watch: I got this badass watch from Duty Free before I went to The Philippines when I was like, 4. It's filled with water and the fish moved around. Kept me amused for hours.



Playskool torch: I hated being in the dark as a kid... and hm, I actually still hate the dark now. That red button underneath had a sort of nightlight function, and as long as you were still holding onto it, the light would work. Once you let go (i.e. fell asleep), the light would dim and eventually turn off.



Darkwing Duck's buddy: I forgot what his name was. I just remember Darkwing. And Gosling.







"Merman! Merman!" : This little thing was part of The Little Mermaid "Babysitter Ariel" set.



Tickle Me Elmo: Sucks to be you if you didn't have one of these in the '90s.



Sky Dancer launcher: I lost the actual Sky Dancer doll. :( Must have flown over someone's fence. lol.



Macquarie Centre Bear: To be honest, I have no recollection of ever going to Macquarie Centre as a child.



The Macarena Gorilla: This was fun. Clap your hands and you'd set him off. If you haven't figured it out by now, he'd bounce and sing the Macarena.



My puppy: His name was Ben. The way he's all dirty and ruined makes him look like Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. No, I don't care if you disagree.



My first teddy bear: That triangular patch of white still weirds me out.



My first lunchbox: Having the alphabet on the back was so convenient. While I was being a loser kindergartener at lunch, I could practise :P





Hello Kitty & Minnie headbands: The oldest headbands I own, still in good condition.



Sailor Moon outfit: No idea where the doll is :(



Sailor Moon wand and locket: Wand from my parents, locket from my uncle. I remember when I got the locket. I was in Toys R Us with my uncle and his girlfriend (now his wife/my aunty) and he said he'd buy me something that was under $30. I saw the $29.95 locket, he said it didn't count and we argued for about ten minutes. I won.

C is for..
