What a Day For a Birthday...

It's not my birthday, but it is another very special woman's who also writes this blog...ANGRY JESS!

So in honor of her birthday, here are 12 of the things that I like best about her.

1. Shes a little zany.
2. She's not afraid to speak her mind
3. She curses like a sailor.
4. She has a passion for the color orange, in the same way I am affectionate for the color green.
5. We share the same middle name.
6. She's older than me.
7. When she drinks moscato, she gets "Jellyfish" arms.
8. She makes a mean Goulash, and I heard, "she get it from her Mama."
9. She's known as Angry Jess, but sometimes (on occasion) she can be the nicest person ever!
10.  She's not afraid to flaunt her love of all things Twilight (and other Vampires for that matter).
11. She has a great taste in music and movies.
12.  She LOVES to SHARE... (if you ask her nicely, or take it when she's not looking).

In all seriousness, happy birthday to one of the coolest chicks on the blog ;) If you know Angry Jess leave some comments of your favorite things about her! Or just wish her a Happy Birthday.

Talking about my Generation....

 I can remember the 1990s as if it were yesterday, who cares if I was 3 at the beginning of the decade? I spent a good part of my childhood in the 90s!  Here is the blog we promised you, the best toys of our generation. I would make a list of the top ten but there are so many (and a 10 year span) that I'm simply going to list all of the toys that Jessica & I loved from 1990-2000.

  • Polly Pocket (the kind that actually fit into your pocket)
  • Beanie Babies
  • Tomagotchi (or Gigapets)
  • Game boy color
  • Barbie Fashion Designer (CD-ROM game)
  • Moon Shoes
  • Quints
  • Krystal Princess Dolls
  • Furby
  • Pogs
  • Easy Bake Oven
  • Popples
  • Stretch Armstrong
  • Talkboy/ Talkgirl 
  • Grape Escape
  • Dr Dreadful (food factory)
  • Treasure Trolls
  • Dream Phone
  • Puzz-3D
  • My Little Pony (they were way cuter in the 90's)
  • Disney Classic Barbies
  • Laser pointers
  • Power Rangers
  • Floam
  • GAK
  • Pokemon
  • Hot Wheels
  • Jenga
  • Mr. Potato Head
  • Super Nintendo
  • Creepy Crawlers

  • Slap Bracelets
  • Razor Scooters
  • Koosh Balls
  • Jurassic Park toys
  • Where's Waldo
  • Tickle Me Elmo
  • Pound Puppies

  • Teddy Ruxpin 

These were some of the HOTTEST toys that we had to have! If you were a child (or parent) of the 90s, can you think of any other toys that were off the charts and you (or your kids) would die if they didn't own? I'm certain there are tons of toys that didn't make the list, either we just didn't remember them or we weren't fans.  Either way subscribe and comment with your own list!
