I was thinking back to my youth and thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast some things.
Tasty Treats:
Back then - MacDonald's, fried shrimp, Oreos
Now - Fish sticks, mac-n-cheese, and peas because it's the one meal baby boy will eat.
Fun Activities:
Back then - playing outside, going to grandma's to play with baby kitties, jumping on trampoline
Now - going to bed early, sleeping past 6:30am, taking a nap
My constant companion:
Back then - my blankie (which I slept with until I was in 2nd grade, I think!!)
Now - my breastpump
Books:
Back then - Dragonriders of Pern
Now - books?!
TV Shows:
Back then - Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, Dukes of Hazzard, Love Boat
Now - CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Property Ladder
(this is obviously the only thing I have the energy to do these days, huh?)
Anyone else remember their favorites? Courtney?

I whole-heartedly agree with your new category and your favorites for then and now - except we have DVR, not TIVO. I'm guessing TIVO works better than our DVR, though!
Thanks!
