And once you start that trip into Memoryland, you find more and more moments you stored away, and you get to enjoy them all over again. Like Russian dolls... you open one up and you find ANOTHER one. And ANOTHER. You have no idea how long this will go, and it's kind of fun.
So here's what we're going to do. We're going to share memories today, because I LOVE that. I run the show here, so while I get to dictate, you still have to choose to participate... please do! I'll even start off with a memory made today. Yes, you get the freshest memories on this holiday. You're welcome.
FRESH MEMORY
While grading at Starbucks, I was chit-chatting with my friend Andy. An exam response triggered one of my favorite rants; it goes, "Rhetoric is the third oldest profession! Only farming and prostitution precede it in the annals of history!"
Andy didn't realize I only stopped to take a deep breath, because he responded. "I don't know that it was a recognized profession back then, Christina."
Confusion. "Wait, what wasn't recognized as a profession? Farming?"
And then people laughed at me. I did, too, once I remembered not everyone loves rhetoric and ancient Greeks the way I do.
Now it's your turn! Tell me a fun memory in the comments. Pretty please?

The other day, I was sitting at my desk and I heard the song, "i'll never break your heart" by the Backstreet Boys and it triggered a memory of my first boyfriend when he put that song on a CASSETTE over and over again. I swooned back then, not so much now.
So I'm not sure how I posted the above comment without putting in my blog, but for whatever reason... it's now attached. LOL
How about the newest memory made when I just felt like an idiot because I have no idea what you are talking about.
