And I wore Wonder Woman Underoos!

This may be all-time favorite forward. Every one of these really strikes a chord with me. I wish I had my childhood pics at the house, because you guys would really get a kick out of me with my ribbon and bead barrettes, my Barbie Big Wheel, and in my Bo Duke nightgown! Enjoy!

IF YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S *

You had that Fisher Price doctor's kit with a stethoscope that actually worked. And the shot. And the blood pressure cuff. And yep, I played doctor with a boy named Shaylor once. Sorry, mom.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it. No basket, but my red bike did have a horn and a red flag.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades!) that had metal wheels. And puffy pom poms tied to the laces!

You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie", not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill". I thought bowl cut and the Dorothy Hamill was the same cut?? Anyway, I had it!

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession. Actually I had the Wonder Woman sleeping bag - it was green outside and had red lining - classic - I think it's still in my parent's garage.

You got kicked out of the room when your parents had their adult friends over for Dallas-viewing parties on Friday nights. Just me? My friend Kimberly's parents would never let us watch with the adults!

You begged Santa for the electronic memory game, Simon.

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits. I'd forgotten about these! My best friend and I also played Donnie and Marie by singing into opposite ends of my jump rope.

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. Actually I had a tire swing in my front yard. Every summer my dad re-taped the chains with the color electrical tape of my choosing! Loved that tire swing.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. With loads of beads, right?

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle). Also got a new pair of the thick soled brown "school shoes" with the laces every September. I hated those shoes with a passion.

You wanted to be Laura Ingall Wilder really bad. You wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture. I thought the show was just okay, and only got through a couple of the Little House books, but damn! I did wear one of those lame ruffly shirts on picture day!

You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink. Ours was called 8-Wheels in San Angelo. I think it's still open. Actually I hated the slow-skate, but give me some Donna Summer - whooooo baby!

Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket. This didn't happen until the 80s for me, but the pics are just as horrid!

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. With the thermos inside!

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend. Always Bo for me (until he had the domestic assault issue with his girl - shattered by girlhood dreams forever!)

It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry? Corey Haim, Sean Astin, or Ralph Macchio?"

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album. And Xanadu!

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom. My mom still has (somewhere) a macrame hanging plant holder. Sooo very 70s.

You made Shrinky-Dinks and those little colored crystal sun catcher ornaments.

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker. Sometimes I recorded MTV, but aaaalways was there with my little recorder for Solid Gold! I still have a couple of those tapes, and it is funny to listen to them now because you can hear my dog Sugar barking in the background.

You had subscriptions to BOP and Tiger Beat.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books. Oh, and Where Did I Come From.

You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was actually about aerobics. I had a very religious friend and she and her mom took me to a record store for my birthday. I picked out ONJ's Physical album, and she said she wouldn't buy that one! That's the first time I ever realized it was about more than exercise. I had to start asking around at school to find out why it was so naughty!

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs. I had a couple turtlenecks with hearts and rainbows on them too. And I wore cowboy boots with skirts before it was hot to do so. I was so not hot.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer. Seriously. The one with the knee-length hair in fact. Is it too late?

* I deleted the statesments I thought were stupid (like having a crush on Gopher from Love Boat?!), and added a couple of my own. So if it's here, I did it, wore it, or loved it!
