First Things First: Best Friends, Concerts & Celebrity Crushes

Is it really Monday already?  The weekend goes by much too fast as I am sure a lot of you can agree.  But with Monday comes another edition of First Things First with Halie and Hallie.  This week we will cover my first best friend, first concert, and first celebrity crush.

First best friend...

I had a rocky time in elementary school so my first best time didn't come until middle school.  Sarah was my best friend for about 4 years.  High school came and we were okay our freshman year but after that we drifted apart.  Her decisions and actions didn't sit well with me.  She was manipulative and wanted her way or no way.  But for my middle school years she was what I needed.  I'm the kind of girl who is super close with one other person and then every one else is just a friend.  I went through the rest of high school just being part of a larger group but not really holding on to one person more closely than the others until my friend Lacy.  We too have since gone our separate ways and I now have Chelsea.

First concert...

The first concert I remember was seeing Toby Keith at the Wisconsin Valley Fair one summer with my mom and brother.  I don't have a lot of memories of the concert as I was pretty young (think single digits or very low double digits).

First celebrity crush...

The first celebrity I can remember crushing on was probably Patrick Swayze after seeing him in Dirty Dancing, Tom Cruise after seeing him in Top Gun, or Kevin Bacon after seeing him in Footloose.  Or maybe all three? ;)  I saw all of these movies when I was in 5th grade probably.

First Things First: Work, Pet, Cell Phone

Another week of First Things First with Hali at Penguins, Pasta & Polka Dots and Hallie from Life: Oceanside.  This week it's all about the first thing I do when I get home from work, my first pet, and first cell phone.

First thing I do when I get home from work...First I take my shoes off in the entry way.  Then I head upstairs to put my purse, lunch bag, and computer bag down at the end of the couch.  I take my jacket off.  And then I unpack my lunch bag which means putting any dirty containers by the dishwasher and putting my ice pack into the freezer.  And of course I say hi to Bo!

First pet...The first pet I had was a Gordon Setter named Babe.  My parents actually got her after getting married before having me.  I don't have any pictures on my computer of Babe since pictures at that time were not digital.

First cell phone...I think I have had a cell phone since the time I was 12 years old.  It started out as a pay as you go phone and it was up to me to pay for the minutes.  That was back in the day when texting was free!  Gosh do I miss those days.

What is one of your firsts from this week?

First Things First: Planes, Jobs, & CDs

I'm linking up with Halie at Penguins, Pasta & Polka Dots and Hallie from Life: Oceanside tonight for First Things First.  This week is: 1. First thing I wanted to be when I grew up, 2. First time I flew on a plane, and 3. First CD I owned.

First thing I wanted to be when I grew up...

Growing up I remember I always said I wanted to be a teacher but I have never pursued that avenue in life.  As I got older it never was something that interested me.  I think I said I wanted to be a teacher growing up because it was an easy answer to the famous question.

First time I flew on a plane...

The first time I flew on a plane I was probably about 7 years old and I was headed to Disney World!  It was a family vacation (mom, dad, and brother plus my uncle).

First CD I owned...

The first CD, or the most memorable first CD, I remember owning is one of the NOW! CDs.  I can't remember which number it was any more but I remember getting it as a gift from an aunt along with my very own personal CD player.  Gosh, that seems so long ago now considering where we are now with personal music.

I plan to link up again next week!  The questions will be: 1. The first thing I do when I get home from work, 2. First pet, 3. First cell phone.
