puffy stickers, junk drawers, and carol burnett

when i was little, my mom and i lived at my grandmas house. this morning while i was laying in bed, i was thinking about things i remember about being there...these things may not intrest anyone reading this, but my grandma had a big window in her dining room that she had plants on, and at the holidays she would decorate the window seat with her christmas village... it was like a magical little wonderland that would captivate my interest to just stand there and look in wonder... why this popped into my head- who knows...

her bedroom was on the bottom floor of the house, and in the middle of the day, we would get a snack, and go flop...lol... her term for going and laying across the bed on our bellies and watch t.v....namely the carol burnett show... the way her room was set up was that if you lay across the bed you could look right out her windows into the side yard... and see the cherry tree, the cars going by the neighbors house, etc...  i think i will have to pick up a copy of the carol burnett show, i remember laughing so hard with her, even though im not sure i even understood some of the funnies in the show, but more so just getting tickled over her laughing so hard... laughing is contagious! 

another thing that sticks in my mind was the top drawer of her dresser- it was one of those shallow, jewerly like drawers... mostly that collected junk and this and thats... but it was like a treasure trove for me to explore... i think as i de-clutter things around here, i need to relocate all the little junkie stuff to one location for treasure exploring later...

my mom and i lived in the upstairs of that house- which to this day i love that house, and would love to go through it again... so many memories there... but upon going upstairs and turning to the right, you would find my room...but on the back of my door you would find my sticker collection...lol... maybe this was a tell tale sign that i would one day be an avid scrapbooker and still find delight in stickers, but i loved them... there was scratch and sniffs, which im sure looked pretty silly to stand and sniff a door, character stickers, i remember a few smurfs, and some rainbow bright... but my favorite were puffy stickers... a big yellow smilie face one imparticular... courtney also loves stickers, so maybe i need to find something like a blank journal book or notebook for her to put stickers in too... because usually her stickers go on her shirts and then she takes them off and they end up in the trash... because mommy wont let her stick them on furniture... lol...

why my brain decides to reminisce at 6.am  is beyond me, especially since i have a killer headache, i will never know, but i thought i should write it all down while i was thinking about it (well type it ) ... and now i hear my little man in his bed talking away... guess id better go make him some cereal, and probably start a to-do list...  have a great day!

happy list:

• puffy stickers
• carol burnett
• junky treasure drawers

unhappy list:

• migraines
• having to get up 3 times since 2 am to pee...
• stubbing your toe on the cabinet in the kitchen while looking for headache medicine
