Firsts and Lasts

Firsts Meme, idea courtesy of TulipGirl.

First Memory
I remember standing at a screen door crying for someone who was driving away in a car. I also remember seeing the circus peanuts up in a high cupboard, and then climbing up to get them. I don't remember the burns I sustained from the stove that was on beneath the cupboard with the circus peanuts, but I do remember the children's hospital walls, which were painted, ironically, with the Peanuts Gang characters. I also remember my dad holding me on the counter after he accidentally got my ankle caught in the spoke of his bicycle while riding me on the handlebars.

First Kiss
February 1982, my would-be hubby.

First Concert
Journey, with Bryan Adams and Sammy Hagar when I was in eighth grade. My parents took my friend and I, and they waited outside the arena until the show was over.

First Love
My parents.

First thing you think in the morning
"What time is it? And is anyone hurt?" Don't know where this comes from, but I always have a feeling of dread when I awake, like something tragic happened while I was asleep. ::shrug::

First book you remember loving
The Black Stallion and the sequels.

First pet
Can't recall for sure. We had two dogs when I was a child, but they weren't really my pets and they weren't really family dogs. I had a hamster, a hermit crab and a cat, and then later a dog.

First place you think of when you hear the word vacation
Macinac Island, Michigan, where I met Christopher Reeve.

First best friend
Dawn Sanderson, followed closely by Ronda King.

Last time you dressed up
It's been a while. Can't even remember.

Last thing you ate
A brownie with Breyers vanilla ice cream, Hershey syrup and roasted almonds.

Last CD bought
No idea. We subscribe to Rhapsody, so I rarely buy CDs.

Last time you cried
I don't remember.

Last time you told someone you loved them
Lots of times today. Kids, husband.

Last really fun thing you did
Canoeing a couple of weeks ago. Contra-dancing with hubby and kids. Karaoke with Houdin's friend-who-is-a-girl and her family last weekend.

Last thing you watched on TV
The Cosby Show on DVD tonight.

Last Halloween Costume
I was an Indian. Hubby was a pirate. Last year.

Last concert attended
Kids' choir concert, most likely. Before that, probably David Wilcox. Can't recall for sure.
