Firsts
How many first times can you remember? Can you still recall the kind of fumbling combination of fear and excitement? You can. I see the look of apprehensive courage, the strained smile back into the face of the unknown.
First tooth falling out
First bike
First kiss
First date
First love
First Krispy Kreme
First trip to a foreign country
First disappointment
First job
First layoff
First grey hair
Everyday should be a first for something, yes?

I always wish I could remember more of my "firsts"...there's that innocent excitement that's so hard to come by now a days!

Hi AMG,
I wish I could remember more of them too. I usually do remember one or two when in proximity to the nieces. Maybe this is why people have children? That innocent excitement is refreshing!

Hi Sangroncito,
You will have firsts forever, you have that fearless explorer personality.
Old age? These are not words I could possibly associate with you!

Have you ever read Cher's Firsts Book. It's a simple (but fun) read about all her "firsts".
I can remember many of my firsts, it just takes something to engage the recall :)

Nope, havent read that one yet.
I know, it does take something to jar the recall. Its my theory that this is why some people have children :)

Ah, my favorite whipping boy(so to speak), Aberzombie and Bitch! How funny (read sad) are those advertisements.
I wonder if my voodoo doll will work on them? :)

Oh shoot, my bad. Voodoo only works on the living, zombies are, by nature of being zombies, exempt.

Hi LAsomniloquy,
I kinda remember not being impressed with my first gray hair too. Of course that was when I was 25, yikes!

How cute the girls are!
Anna will be teaching the class soon, if she hasn't started already.
