Compliments of SIL Anna.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.\
... be nice ...

I don't have a photographic memory...it's more visual. I have VERY clear memories of just seeing you in the house. I remember once seeing you sitting on the couch and Jerry was laying his head and your lap. To my 12 year-old mind it was quite scandalous. I also remember you coming to visit while Jerry was vacationing in Arizona and mom telling you that she bought me my first bra. I think you looked uncomfortable. Yeah. Good times.
My memories of you are that you seem to have babies really easily and then the very next day, you are back to your pre pregnacy body and looking fabulous!.....SO UNFAIR!
You always put your best face forward. I love ya xo
My favorite memories with you HAVE to be our Gin Rummy sessions to 500 points while watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer re-runs. Honestly, what could be a better way to spend my summer nights?? Oh, and also how I always used to wrestle you and destroy you because I'm so beastly.
So many "favorites"...
I remember us going to the Baltimore Inner Harbor with Matt and Jerry for dinner at Phillips, and being led past all sorts of empty tables, then outside past more empty tables, then around some unused furniture until we were finally seated right next to their Dumpster.
I remember driving around (in your Dad's old Volvo???) listening to Jerry sing "I"m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for shirt, so sexy it hurts..."
I remember violent games of Spoons and intense games of Dominoes.
I remember watching you swim at Penn State and being crushed when you moved to San Diego.
But mostly I remember laughing so hard my face hurts. Often.
Ok. I'll play too. Should I be naughty or nice? Too many to choose from.
I remember laughing very hard when you fell backwards into the pot and pan drawer.
I remember when we threw jello on the kitchen ceiling; and it stayed there.
I remember when you set up a lemonade stand at 104 and Brandon and I were your only customers.
Three words... "ROCK-AND-BOWL!"
Bro
Oh, and it has to be said (for Taylor's sake if no one else...)Late night dancing anyone? Oooh-oooh!
Hey, that reminds me. You still owe us dinner, you rock-and-bowl loooooooser.
I remember a certain New Year's Eve Janet Jackson concert in a Skybox at Madison Square Garden, but I'm not sure how much of it YOU remember. I'm sure I even have a few pictures from that event stashed somewhere. Luckily for you, they're not digital. Blackmail material against the upstanding Sister Kilgore, heh, heh, heh...
I also remember Senior Week at the shore: I was home from UT for Jerry's grad and went down to the OC for a couple of days. Jer and I were walking on the boardwalk and I said something about you, can't even remember what, other than that it was a compliment and included the word "think". Jer thought I said "thick" and leapt to your defense, telling me how you were just all muscley from swimming and not fat. I was like, "Where did THAT come from?" But it was clear he was whooped.
Ok so I'm a little slow at my response. I couldn't not share. There are so many fun memories...making egg rolls, eating all of your good food. But the ones I think are the most hilarious are picturing us doing a chinese fire drill in the middle of Palm Springs. No this wasn't teenage drama. This was as grown adults. And of course I was huge and pregnant. That adds excitment. Then of course sitting in the hot tub later. What happens in Palm Springs stays in Palm Springs!!! Wish we were closer for more fun times! Ahh, those San Diego days!
