May the Toys Be With You ... Always
No. I wasn't born.
No. Ace wasn't born.
No. None of my kids were born.
30 years ago today, I started my love affair with science fiction.
30 years ago today, Star Wars debuted in movie theaters.
30 years ago today, I started off with my crush on Luke Skywalker but then I later decided that Han Solo was MUCH yummier. And I think everyone else would agree with me.
30 years ago today, the craze of putting the little Kenner toys catalog in Cheerios boxes started. It was a good ploy to get kids to start eating better cereal for breakfast. I would sit at my kitchen table and pore over that little catalog, dreaming of all the Star Wars toys I would ask for for Christmas.
I know that I have mentioned the time when I snooped around in the closet at my house and found three-Barbie sized action figures, and tried to act like I hadn't found them? My Mom got me Luke, Leia, and Han. Leia had that crazy hair that they said you could put back up in those donut things, but I could never get her hair back up.
I don't know what happened to Luke and Leia. I am sure they met the demise of the garage sale.
But I know exactly where Han is...
yummy.....
Happy 30th Anniversary, fellow geeks!

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.
The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.
The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.
The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.
The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.
Do you have a hero?

That was 30 years ago? Gah. I'm feeling old today.
I had one of those R2D2 robots. Sadly, it didn't last long. As soon as my brother got his paws on it, he took it apart. He also put it back together, but had extra parts left over and yeah, R2D2 never worked again.
I can't believe that you still have that doll! You are so funny. You truely are a roadie of the Star Wars craze.
You may be able to sell that doll on e-bay some day for alot of money when you are poor and down and out. He is in "mint condition". No loss of appendages, body paint, or worn clothing. You do care for this guy don't you? LOL
Have a great weekend girl!
That is so freakin awesome that you have Hans. Seriously are willing to sell it? It's in such good condition. I can send you my contact info if you're interested.
