Welcome to the party! I’m so glad you came. I’m Arianne, and I am bad at small talk. Want to just come on in? There’s a door prize, so keep reading…
I live in Chicago-land but am a California girl at heart. Chicago is wooing me, big time, but I’ll always have a bit of hippy-ness to me.
At this blog you’ll find my story. My story of my life and my family, my job and my mothering. Not surprisingly, a big part of what I write about is my three boys. All of them have autism, all of them are on a constant life roller coaster, and all of them are absolutely magical children. I like writing about special needs parenting, because I know as a reader I appreciate the voice it gives parents like me. I’m honored to be my kids’ mom.
I love to vlog, even though I don’t do it that often. One of my favorite videos is me showing my kids and their cuteness. Take a look:
Begging For Mercy from To Think Is To Create on Vimeo.
One of my favorite posts is called 50 Things I Like About Myself. Not because I think I’m necessarily super cool, but because the exercise of jotting all 50 things down really made me view myself in a new light. If you want to post 50Things too, please leave a link here in the comments. I’d love to get to know you! Be sure to check out the comments on the post to read what others said about themselves too. We ladies can be so hard on ourselves sometimes, so anything that empowers and inspires is something I hold on to.
I love to laugh and to make people laugh (really is there any better thing in life?), but most of my writing here is usually more of the “pouring out my soul” variety. For pithy one liners and over all goofiness, come find me on Twitter.
If you like to do reviews, get cool perks or participate in fun campaigns, you’ll want to know that I’m also the Director of Community Development for One2One Network. I love my work with them, because I get to work with bloggers I admire and adore, and I also get to give peeps free stuff. Blogging does have it’s perks, right?
I’m also one of the WalMart Elevenmoms, a social media group that was created to start a conversation in blogland, one that was independent (i.e. we are are not a hive mind) and one that could help shape what WalMart was doing in this web 2.0 space. I’ve met incredible people and have had some great opportunities. Lots more to come in the future!
What else you should know before you go win an awesome prize: I am a Twilight addict, I love to dance (especially The Carleton), and I enjoy smart people doing smart things.
What should I know about you? I’d love to hear it. In fact, I’m giving away a Flip Video Camera to one of you just for telling me something interesting about yourself. Cool, eh?
How to Enter:
1. Leave a comment here telling me one interesting thing about yourself. Don’t make it lame or it won’t count. This comment is required for entry!
2. Post about this contest on your blog, leave your link in an additional comment, and you get one additional entry.
3. Tweet about this contest (include contest link and @ToThink in your tweet), leave the link to the tweet in an additional comment. You get one additional entry per tweet. This can be done up to one time per day until giveaway is over.
4. Grab the code for my blog badge (in the sidebar!) and post on your blog or social media site, leave each link in a separate comment for additional entries.
All entries will be verified, I look forward to hearing everyone’s comments! Contest ends March 27th at noon, the winner will find out that day. Good luck!!
Thanks for visiting my party, I can’t wait to come see yours!

Not sure if this is interesting enough, but my resume contains the following careers: telemarketer (in high school), Kirby sales (in college), Library card catalog filer, TV news camera operator, teacher, Dean of girls, gift shop manager, author, HR Director…
(And I'd love a Flip video camera because the one I have was fried when my iced tea flipped out of the cupholder in the car and landed upside down in my purse.)
Nice to 'meet' you. You are doing lots of interesting things; I'll be back.
[Reply]
Interesting, huh? I got nothing.
How about embarassing moments? Cuz I have lots of embarassing moments. Like one time in band camp…..OK, not band camp, although I was in band and I did go to band camp.
Like, that one time I clogged the toilet and made it overflow right before my date with a new guy arrived? Being the classy girl I am, I made him wait with me for the apartment complex maintenance guy to come unclog the darn thing.
Or how about that one time when the trainer at the gym tapped me on the shoulder to inform me that I had dropped a pair of panties out of my gym shorts? Horror, oh horror.
Or when I was sitting around with a group of friends chatting and unvoluntarily let out a sonic boom? I tried to play it off as if it didn't happen (as if my friends were deaf and couldn't hear a fart only 5 ft away from them). This happened over 12 years ago and I;m still horrified.
Oh, there are many more embarassing moments but I am sure this is enough for you. Right?
I'm not very good at following the rules, am I?

An interesting thing about me is that I also grew up in Chicago. I loved the cold weather and snow. Now living in the south I get cold when it is below seventy degrees outside. I could never take that cold weather again.
[Reply]
I consider having my four kids my greatest accomplishment. I love everything about the experience – being pregnant, giving birth, breastfeeding, mothering/parenting….it's a true adventure everyday.
BTW, I've only been to Chicago twice, but, absolutely love it. If I had a second life, I would certainly want to live in Chicago.
[Reply]
I guess the most interesting thing about me is my passion for animals. I have 4 dogs, 4 parrots and 4 Rats (I don't even like creepy rats, but didn't want them to be snake food so I took them) all rescues. They needed homes, were disabled or neglected in some way and I have the room and the time to care for them and couldn't turn them away. The best part is I think they give me more than I can ever give them

Nice to get to know you more. I'm also in Chicago-land (NW burbs) but am originally from Northern VA. Let's see, something interesting about me, I was going to say how I really can't stand the texture of a kooshball but then I thought more interesting would be that I met my hubby while he was traveling for work, he stayed at the hotel I worked out. We dated long distance for 3 months, planned our 1st wedding in under 24 hours AND we have been married over 12 years!
Oh yea and blogging has plenty of perks! Love it!

My dog has had breast cancer, I have had breast cancer and one of my children has had breast cancer..all are survivors.
I am at this point in life- ok have for a long time not cared what others think or have andhave taught my kids just becuase they have a big house does not mean they have alot in life going for themselves- I am teaching my kids things you cannot take with you…but memories last forever and to make a difference in life as you go along and when you can…no matter if it seems small, it still is a difference.

I lived in the same house all my life until I married my husband at the age of nineteen. He was in the Air Force for 21 years. During that 21 years, we moved 16 times. After that, we moved another four times in eight years. We finally bought our first house four years ago! This is where we hope to stay.
[Reply]
Interesting thing about myself is that I really enjoy my job cleaning (no one at work wants to do it but I love it)
I am an aunt to two , a mom to two and a big sis to too
my baby sis and my son, both red heads, also have the same birthday
my daughter looks stunningly like myself at that age, and I have a pic of my mom , at my age, and its hard to tell us apart
oh, and I once posted a baby pic and labeled it as my son, where it was really my baby sis lol

I've been a police dispatcher for 22 years now at the same police station. My sister, who also started out as a dispatcher at this same department, is now a police sergeant..the only female our police department has. I've also been one of our union directors for almost 9 years now. My mother owns her own court reporting business and my stepbrother is an attorney..so our whole family does a little something in the law. My middle son also interned for Barack Obama's senate office a year ago. He graduates from college this May and I'd love to have this Flip to take a video of him receiving his diploma (and he's also in the running to give a speech at commencement).

I am not sure this is interesting but it's funny. I won tickets to the premiere of the Sean Penn movie At Close Range. Now this was way back in the 80's. So me and my sister headed off to the premiere. It was cool. We saw Madonna nd Sean Penn and other celebrities. When we finally got to our seats we noticed that Don Johnson was 2 rows behind us. Now this was the Miami Vice Don Johnson, so he was super duper hot. So the movie hadn't started and me and my sister were giddy. We finally got enough nerve to ask him for his autograph. So we go there ask and he is really nice about it. FInally I figured hell this is the only time I will see him so I ask for a kiss. He says yes. So I plant one right on his lips. Bold, rude, wreckless yes but damn I couldn't help it. Yeah I kissed Don Johnson and I am proud of it.

Okay, so I'm tweeting you now too, I'm chick2lit. I'll be posting a link to you in just a sec.
Like you I'm the mother of a kid with a disability. My daughter has Williams Syndrome and is now 22 years old. Her older sister sometimes finds it irritating, but whatever.
As for something interesting, I typically go with the "high school dropout to finishing a PhD" or some such, but that's kind of lame-o. Instead, the oldest kid can: burp the alphabet and touch the tip of her nose with her tongue (though not always at the same time); the youngest has a rather unique talent – you know armpit farts? She can make them with her legs and her neck. I'm such a proud mother. =)

I volunteer at a dog and cat shelter with my daughter. We love spending time with the dogs as my husband is allergic to dogs and we cannot have our own dog.

Over the summer, I realized just what a strong woman I am. My husband had to move 9 hours away for a job. I was left to get a house ready to sell while taking care of 3 small kids. During a two month period, I painted nearly every room, learned how to patch holes in the walls, I did landscaping, held a garage sale, did some major cleaning, and got our lives wrapped up in our community. I then packed the 3 kids and drove 9 hours (which was much longer with all the pit stops) to put our family back together. It was an insane time and looking back, I can believe I did it.

My first name came from my mom, who used to write under the name Victoria Stacy. My dad wanted my middle name to be Raquel (after Raquel Welch) but my mom refused, so they compromised with Rachelle as my middle name.

[Reply]
Many years ago, the company that I worked for got the contract to check the torque on the bolts of the antennae of the Sears Tower in Chicago. I got to accompany the work crew climbing ladders inside the antennas over 250 feet straight up. What an adrenaline rush! The antenna sways in the wind like a moving bus, and at the top is an access hatch (which is used for changing the lightbulbs at the top) which provides the most stunning view of the city ever seen!

Nice to meet you Arianne. I've been stopping by for a while but don't think I've ever commented before.
I have birthed babies 4 times and each time it was a Tuesday – and I didn't plan it that way! Also, the 1st three babies were each born on a Tuesday following a Monday holiday. AND their birthdates are 21, 22, 27, 29.
Makes me wonder what would happen if I had more babies.

[Reply]
Really great video!
One interesting thing about me, is that at age 20 (some 20+ years ago), I brought my own house. A total handi-man special that was falling apart. I basically redid the whole house. Some with help, like the electric and roof and lots by myself. Took down walls and all…I also ended up with a nail in my foot the first week I owned the house. lol Shortly after the house was totally renovated, I met my husband and sold the house. But I learned a lot about being self sufficient and that if you put your mind to it, you can do it!
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway!
[Reply]
Thanks for sharing about yourself, Arianne. I am 10 weeks pregnant and nothing sounds good except junk food…basically anything we don't have in the house and is sold at a restaurant…talk about expensive and awful for my health. But the few things that are most appealing to eat from my pantry currently are: pasta with butter and parmesean cheese, crackers with squirt cheese (can't get enough of the stuff) and apple juice.

something interesting about myself. I was born in DC so when I become Presdient of the US I will be the first one EVER born in DC. Actually I have met one President, and dated a Marine who guarded marine one (the president's helicopter) and another time dated an Airman who guarded Air Force One. He snuck me aboard while it was not in use and I got to sit in the president's seat. good practice huh?

Something interesting hmm… when i was in highschool my sister and i used to share a bedroom. well we also had to share a bathroom. I could not stand it cause she would always beat me to the shower and then i'd have to wait forever for it to heat up. Well one day she gets a charlie horse and she's like uggghh my leg!

Something interesting about me…I gave birth to my daughter 4 months before I turned 17, and went back to high school. My mother kicked me out 3 months before I was to graduate so I had to get an apartment in a new city, put my 2 year old daughter in daycare and start a new school to complete high school. I graduated with an 85 average. I then went on to complete an LPN program, graduating at the top of my class and an RN program, completed with marks in the high 80's. Things have worked out between my mother and I, as she became ill with cancer and one has to let things go. Never hold a grudge or it will eat you up. My daughter is now in second year university so I guess I instilled a sense of schooling being important. Things always work out for the best!
Thanks so much for having me to your fantastic webpage. Stop by mine if you have a chance.

I'm not sure how "interesting" this is but I'll give it my best shot
I learned how to drive a stick shift car when I was 16. The first time I drove it into a high traffic area I killed the car smack dab in the middle of an intersection right as the light turned red. I was convinced that I was about to be barreled over by a truck coming my way and panicked. I never drove a stick shift again, and to this day I panic every time I try to "re learn" driving a stick shift. Yes, my friends, only automatics for me.

Instead of being interesting, maybe this should be classified as weird. I'm obessed with New York City. I won a trip there 4 years ago and now all I think about is going there. I'm scheduled to go for the 4th time this May. I have lived in Seattle my whole life and never even thought about going to New York until I won the trip. I even hate to fly (you can't travel much farther than Seattle to NYC in the US) but I will suffer the flight just to be there. I Love everything about the city. It's my new guilty pleasure.

I really enjoy visiting grocery stores that cater to specific ethnic cultures, even if I do get stared at by the other shoppers.
It's a neat experience because many of these tend to have a better variety of specialty foods than a regular supermarket (and a better variety), and their authentic foods usually don't have any artificial ingredients that are difficult to read. Each time I go, I usually pick up something new to try.

Something interesting about me. It's not really about me, but my family ( Grandma & pa, Mom, Aunt & Uncle) traveled the world. My Grandfather was a professor of English and he taught English as a foreign language. As a girl, my Mother lived quite awhile in Zambia, Africa. Her stories of childhood are amazing. Like the path that they would take to get to the water had a tree along the way that was a home to baboons – they knew that if they were noticed, the baboons would scream & throw things at them, they would try & tip toe past. Another favorite Africa story is how my whole family was driving home from an event and got lost down some rural roads. They drove on for some time and saw tiny lights – they were glad to see a small town ahead. As they got closer, they realized it wasn't a town, but a stampede of Elephants! They were seeing the carlight reflection in their eyes. They pulled off the road to avoid being trampled!
continued next post – I can't say what I want in one post
[Reply]
She also Lived in Saudi Arabia for a long period of time. There are some amazing stories there too. I'm taking up too much space so I will just say that in these times of terrorism, that my Mother has the fondest memories of the Middle Eastern people. She tells that they in general are the most kind, and giving peoples there are.
Their travels, I guess would have to make me somewhat interesting. They picked up pieces of all of these cultures they lived in. My fam was big on living off the American compounds and living like the locals. I grew up with family who had been influenced by the best and worst of the world. I see life through differently because of it.
I also have some very interesting pieces in my home from their travels. We have the most amazing Arabian feast when we all get together!
I would love to win a Flip – I've never had one – it would be fun to capure life where it happens!

Hi there! Found you through twitter. Great site. Your boys are precious.
Going to follow you on Twitter now and tweet your contest. @jennelsonlane
So an interesting thing about me, huh? Well, I work as a stage manager (theatre) and my work has taken me to such interesting places as NYC, where I worked on 2 Broadway shows, Alaska, Poland and south Alabama! (How's that for diversity!?)
Happy blogging!

I am a 100% disabled Female Veteran. Female Veterans tend to be forgotten. Even at the VA Hospital I get asked if I am there with a veteran. I always see the eyebrows go up when I say "I am the veteran."

Um… something interesting. Oh, here's one! I believe that God has a sense of humor. I never say, "Never," because He always turns my never into a forever. For example, I said I would never be a pastor's wife (long story… lol!). I married a deejay… and one year later he became the interim youth pastor at our church. He is now the full-time youth pastor
I am now the full-time youth pastor's wife.
What about this one??? I was NOT going to have kids before age 25 because I wanted my Master's degree and to "have a life" first. Heh heh… I'm 27 and I have three daughters, ages (almost) 5, 3, and 7 months. Never say never, people! But, I love my life, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Love it when you go to a party and come home with something! I'm interested in vlogging, but need to get into the groove of it. Let's see, one thing about myself, oh yeah and it has to be interesting…I was homeschooled from 2nd grade until I graduated high school. Now I'm a public school teacher. Is that interesting enough?? I hope so. Happy party hopping!!

I'm not crazy about chocolate. I mean I eat it, more out of duty to my gender than craving, but I'd WAY prefer a Big Mac or some cheese fries.
Maybe that's not interesting… just weird. Hopefully close enough, though, to get me a little closer to a Flip of my own!!

By the time I was 10, I had lived in three countries (France, Germany, and USA).
I adjusted well, however, I think I was clueless sometimes. When we moved from Germany to the USA, I never caught on that we were moving. We left one day and never came back. I was absolutely in la-la land because to this day I wonder, "What's up with that?"
But, country-jumping molded me into someone who easily and eagerly learns and accepts all cultures.

I once ran in front of the Rolling Stones tour bus while they were driving it because I wanted to meet the opening band, No Doubt. The Stones got a kick out of it, and little do they know, that I left the concert after the opening band…so I payed $90 to see No Doubt open the show, then left before the Stones played. Was I crazy?? I was only 18 though, so what did I know. People tease me about that and I cringe whenever I tell the story. Not sure if thats more interesting or sad!

Arianne, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you at Mom 2.0 last month! Talking with you at lunch about your boys gave me so much insight to my nephew. THANK YOU for being so willing to share your experiences.
Let's see…something interesting? Well, you already know I have a twin. But something maybe you didn't know is that people ask us all the time if we're related to Marie Osmond. One day after work at Disneyland, Kim and I got stormed by a group of people from Japan. They kept saying, "Osmonds! Osmonds! Picture!" We kept trying to tell them that we were not Osmonds, but they insisted. So we thought, "Oh well!" And we put our arms around them and let their friend take a snapshot. LOL! Perhaps it made their day- who knows!

I drowned my van!!! Yep, you heard me right. I drowned my van!! We live on a piece of land that slopes downhill and there is a lake right across the street. One day I forgot to put the emergency brake on and the van rolled backwards right before our eye and rolled into the lake!!!
We had to call the fire department that had to call their team that does underwater stuff to come and put on scuba gear and go down in the lake to hook the van up to pull out. All our neighbors came and took pictures even !!!!! It was quite the neighborhood event!!
So that’s the saga of the day I drowned my van!!!!

When I was in college in Pittsburgh, I filmed scenes as an extra in not one but two major films, "Wonder Boys" (with Michael Douglas and Robert Downey, Jr.) and "The Mothman Prophecies" (with Richard Gere), but lo and behold, after I talked up my "big debut" in each to the friends I dragged to the theater on opening day, I discovered that all of the scenes I was in had been cut from both movies! I guess that's not so much interesting as sad (and a lesson about counting chickens…), so for good measure I'll throw in the fact that I played Scrabble on a national circuit for about eight years.

I only spoke Greek until I was age 5 and had to start attending school. Then English became my second language. I grew up feeling like I was quite a minority until I was old enough to realize how being raised Greek was something to be proud of not ashamed of. But when you are between the ages of 5-14 other children can be not as accepting of those who are different!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!!!!!
Arianne, that was such a fabulous video.
Hmmm…. something interesting about me… let me think…
Okay, here's something rather heavy-duty:
I have a serious anxiety disorder (that I currently take medication for) and that causes me to throw up and pass out much more often than I would like. Although thanks to said medication it is quite under control at the moment and the last time I passed out was in November. But I'm scared to come off the medication.
Well, there's something to bring down the mood at the party. But since you have hundreds of comments here, I'm confident no one will read it, so the mood will remain as fun and upbeat as your video.
Thanks for partying girl! You ROCK!

These are funny to read
I was a flight attendant for American Airlines based out of Boston. I quit shortly before 9/11 and was shocked when I found out that one of the flights was the same route I used to fly quite often. I always wonder what could have happened if I had not quit.
And if that isn't interesting enough, I have another. I have a nephew that is 2 years older than me

i have never had a real job. i went to school for a long, long time and then started having kids. kinda makes me wonder what i'll do when they're older. i don't feel suited for a typical 9 to 5 desk job but i don't know if anyone would hire me for my dream job: me telling anyone who wants to know what they should do and how they should do it!

Hi Arianne,
Great giveaway… One interesting thing about me is that I was French Student of the year when I was in the ninth grade.
[Reply]
Hmm, something interesting? I never went to real school as a child, never set foot in a classroom, I was homeschooled K-12, and this was back in the days when homeschooling wasn't commonplace or well-known. It was funny, whenever we'd go out somewhere, people would always ask my sister and I if it was a school holiday. We thought it was the weirdest thing, since all we'd ever known was homeschooling!

My name is Kirsten (cure sten) and it was the name of a barmaid my dad used to know. Don't ask me why Mom went along with it but hey, I like the name so good for me. LOL
And for ugh…..My ex-husband had a friend who hung out at our house once in a while. I didn't like him, chased him off our property, pushed him in the chest and told him to get lost. TOTALLY freaked me out to find out he ended up going to jail for killing his brother, cutting his head and hands off….something about sleeping with his wife. Yeah. Good times, huh?

Hi, I am a single foster parent and I do foster care for the Department of Corrections. The only boys I have have all been locked up. I found out that showing that someone cares about them makes all the difference. Even after they graduate and leave they still come over all the time and come home for Christmas. I am an ex biker and 10 years ago I would not have believed that I would be doing this but I just love it.

I can drum my toes. It used to drive my parents crazy especially in the car. Dad used to threaten to pull the car over if I didn't stop. It livened up long, boring car trips. It was especially fun before they figured out it was me. They would turn down the radio and try to hear where the thumping was coming from. Hehe.

My parents were sharecroppers in Arkansas and we moved every couple of years it seemed. We moved to Kansas City when I was 10 but lived in at least 4 different places in the next 8 years. I married a military man when I was 18 and have since lived in 2 foreign countries, 4 states and visited numerous others. I guess I'm just a rolling stone.

As a teen Army bride in Germany with 2 babies and a husband who was in the field away from home a lot we decided to drive to visit him one weekend when we were allowed to and I almost crossed into Czechoslovakia. I turned around just in time. After serving 24 years in the military we are older and wiser and can laugh about things like that, but it wasn't funny at the time.

7 years ago, I realized how important it is to have a video camera and to use it. My daughter Hattie was born unexpectedly at 27 weeks. I had a big bulky video camera that I would lug to the hospital every day. It sat in my locker. A newborn in the NICU doesn't really do much. I took small shoots every now and then. Then her health took a real nosedive. We realized that there was a good chance she wasn't going to make it. I started taking more video, but really it was too late. My little Hattie died. The video of her last week is just too painful to look at as she looks so sick. My husband won't look at those shots at all. I was left with just a few minutes of video. I made a beautiful video of what I had using still shots and the video. I love sharing it, but it leaves me always wishing for one more picture, one more cuddle. Hug your kids tight and record as much as you can.

I'm a traveler and as a child built cabins in the forest of the alaska mountains, my friend had a wolf as a pet, I watched the totem carver carve totem poles while eating the smoked fish he would also be smoking. I watched the natives dance at the chief shakes cermony(wrangell alaska) to honor the new totems, Sadly my father was lost at sea in a fishing boat accident so my mother being pregnant with her 7th child (6 of us kids under the age of 13) didn't want to live on the island any longer traveled by ferry, train, bus and taxi
[Reply]
across canada and the state of michigan to move us back to were she grew up. While in alaska I met the band seals and crofts they bought my grandmothers boat. I'm also told my fathers aunt was a sister to bob segers mother. I'm also suppose to be related to henry ford and abraham lincoln, butsadly have no money as they all left the family to claim their fortunes and live my family to only digginga lake.

I play guitar, was in the Air Force for 4 years and got deployed for 6 months right after September 11th. I got out as soon as my time was up because I didn't agree with Bush's policies.

Walking off I said to my friend "what a cheeky freak" … my friend turned around and with a very serious face said to me 'that "freak" happens to be a Prince, a real live.. walking ….. talking Middle Eastern Prince – just passing through – look there is his yatch". I looked and there it was .. the biggst yatch I had ever seen and there he was walking away no longer interested in me.

I feel Walmart might have saved my life or at least physical injury. I was on the interstate driving home from work when I decided to exit early to go to Walmart just as I was slowing down in the exit ramp I passed out. I hit a stop sign and rolled down a ditch.

Seriously. I had artificial lenses inserted, sort of like cataract surgery, only I didn't have cataracts. So now instead of not being able to read without coke bottle glasses because my nose gets in the way of getting close enough to the page, I can drive legally without corrective lenses (well, except for the ones that are a now a permanent part of me), which is pretty awesome.
Also, I feel just a little bit like the six million dollar man.

Hi. I was born with a congenital heart defect. The doctor's told my parents that I would never leave the hospital but they would not even give them an estimate of how long I would live because they had no idea if I would last through the day or not. They said that I needed heart surgery but first I needed a blood transfusion. I wouldn't make it through the surgery without the transfusion but they also said that my heart was too weak for the transfusion. Talk about a Catch-22!
This coming July I will be 52 years old. I have two grown children and 5 beautiful grandchildren.

I drove cross country from Alaska to Florida with my kids with NO sense of direction- every time I would stop for gas or whatever I would ask someone do I take a left or right to get to Florida. Everyone was so sweet and helpful, but they tried to give me *real* directions which my brain just does not process so I'd be all Thanks but left or right, that's all I need to know.
My oldest daughter was the *lookout* since I have something of a lead foot.
This was way before the day of personal dvd players or anything and we had a blast- Livin' La Vida Loca was one of the more popular songs of that time and to this day we cannot not hear it without blasting and dancing.
My daughters and I are super close, now they blog with me.
