The Diamond Challenge: Round 5 - Town Hall Meeting!

QOTD: What is your first memory of being very excited.

it was when my parents bought me a magenta (or it could have been hot pink) bike. we lived in a corner house at the time. i remember sitting on the porch steps as my dad put on the training wheels. i think i was wearing white pants, lol. how funny. i hadn't thought about that day in a long time. i remember being super impatient and telling to hurry up. all the excitement was way before the fear kicked in of course

I drank too much in college and can't really remember stuff like that before High School. But when I was in 7th grade I went to Space Camp. I saved up for over a year to go with babysitting money and what not. I was so excited to go and it was the greatest experience as a kid. I wanted to be an astronaut all the way up until Chemistry in college and then realized it wasn't for me!

I'm totally with you! I can't seam to remember much from my childhood either... I remember general ideas but not the specific details:ohwell: :drinker:

Ditto here, I dont' remember crappitycrap from my childhood...or even hs....and college barely. And I'm only 29. I just have a bad memory for events but a good memory for data.

QOTD: My first time I can really remember being excited I was 7 or 8 maybe even 9. We were at my Grandmas for Thanksgiving dinner and ALL my cousins were there (we didnt get to see each other much & when we did it wasn't all of us). We were all playing when the adults told us we were ALL going to Disney world together the next day. We had soo much fun!! But the time I was REALLY excited was when my parents told me they were going to have a baby. My brother and I are 13 months apart and I dreamed and wished for a baby sister and on Jan 14th ( I was 11) my baby sister was born!! I was so excited I was shaking all over! Now I am blessed with 1 brother and 3 sisters.

I have an awful memory. I tell my patents they wasted time and money on me as a child because I can't recall anything. I remember being really excited when my mom finally gave in and said we could keep that cat I brought home.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I can't answer this there is nothing springing to mind at all, it's quite sad, but true.

Hey ladies, it doesn't have to be a childhood memory... just YOUR earliest memory (maybe you were an adult)! :-)

QOTD: What is your first memory of being very excited?

I can't really remember but I think it was Christmas and I used to believe that Santa drops by our window to leave us gifts.

First memory of being really excited was my first track and field day in Kindergarten! i was so excited and sad at the same time because my best friend was home with the chicken pox so every activity I did i asked for an extra ribbon for my friend and then after i went to her house and dropped off the ribbons and caught the chicken pox so so bad that I was sick for 2 weeks!

My first memory of being really excited was when I won a coloring contest at Publix and won a bunny shaped cake.

So I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't have the best memory, and I feel so sad that I can't distinctly remember my first memory of excitement. But the first thing that came to mind, and still seems to be the leader is visiting my grandparents in Louisiana. I was born there but have lived in TN since I was one. But as kids we would always visit 1-2 times a year. I always loved going down there to visit my grandparents and other family members.

First memory of being really excited was the Christmas I received a red pedal car. I can't remember how old I was but it was the type of car you sat in the car and pushed the petals back and forth. It was stolen the next day but I loved that thing. Oh, and I loved my Big Wheel too.

Hello Diamonds,
I'm new as of this week, so had missed the H2O challenge until I saw it now - I'm terrible at drinking straight water so have been using herbal teas and a couple of drops of lemon juice to try to get there. I generally manage 6 cups per day, so for the rest of Friday and the weekend I know what I'll be aiming for.
Earliest memory of being excited? Potentially when I got a swing set for Christmas one year - I was so impatient waiting for my dad to put it together. I must have been about 5. I think Mum and Dad finally got rid of those swings about 3 years ago - 20 years after they first arrived.
Happy weekend all!

Is there a town hall for this week? Couldn't find it!

Anybody find the new town hall meeting yet?
