Fill In The Blank Friday



Fill in the blank time! Today's blanks were inspired by Fern's first plane ride! So head over to Lauren's blog and talk about your firsts! 


1.  My first memory is     from when I was 3. My sister was just a baby and was laying on the floor. I did something to her to make her cry and I heard my mom in the other room. I didn't want to get in trouble so I made a funny face and my sister laughed. It's a weird first memory. 

2.  My first love was  my husband.I didn't have a whole lot of super serious relationships before him. None where I thought I was in love anyways. 

3.  My very first favorite color was    blue. It's been my favorite for a long time. 

4. The first time I really felt like a "grown-up" was when    I moved to Saskatchewan for college. I was 17 hours from home and didn't know anyone. I moved to Ontario that summer and felt very grown up. 

5. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is  open my eyes and seeing a purring cat in my face. Then I get up and grab a cup of coffee and enjoy it while I let the dogs outside. 

6. The first CD (cassette tape, record, etc...) I ever bought was   DC Talk? 



7.  My first car was a 1979 toyota tercel it was so loud you had to yell just to talk to the passanger and it next to no heat in the winter. I had a different car before I got my license. I used it to bomb around on the farm, but it died before I got my drivers.  The tercel was my first car I insured and drove around town.  Funny story about it... it had manual steering (so old school) for those who don't know, that means the steering is a lot tougher. We had just had a terrible storm the night before and the roads were really bad as the ploughs hadn't been out yet.  I was quickly driving to the tire shop to get my tire tightened minutes before my shift at work. The steering was particularly hard that morning but I just thought it was because the roads were so bad. I drive as fast as I could to the tire shop as I was almost late for work.  
I get there and say "I need..." the guy interrupts me and says "Oh it's clear what you need!"

 I say "Really? didn't know it'd be that clear from inside." He looks at me funny and says "Let's go outside." 

We get out there and I see this smoke coming from my tire area. I had gotten a flat and drove on it highway speed for 15 minutes. There wasn't much of the tire left and there was a bunch of smoke pouring out.  Opps! I've been paranoid about flats ever since!


Happy Weekend Everyone!
