5 Things I Can't Live Without

I was tagged by my cousin Karena and thought they had to be products so wasn't going to do it cause I couldn't think of anything special before, but as I've read others I guess these 5 things don't have to be products...so here they are in no particular order.

I collect footage. Footage of music history mainly, but a lot of old concerts, and a lot of interviews of people that I really like, not all of them are music people. My footage is somewhat random so it's hard to explain what exactly it is but it's amazing and I love it. It's historic. I love music history. I think I've mentioned before that I am very into home videos and that footage is my favorite form of family history. So, I also collect my own home videos but those of my grandparents/parents. I have copies of all of the footage of my mom growing up, even from the time she was born. So, there you have an idea....I can't live without my footage collection. (and to help me do this is ebay but mostly amazon. I've also had very good connections)

I love camping, I have no problem getting dirty, roughing it and all that but I am glad it only lasts for a few days usually because I cannot live without certain personal hygene things. For instance, I have to cut my nails and file them, I cannot grow them out, I like them short. Also I get my eyebrows waxed at the mall every few weeks, I cannot go without this, to me it's a personal hygene thing. Next, I can't go without shaving my legs. I never can grow a "winter fur" and I especially can't let them go if I am going somewhere special or like going on a road trip, and I hate wearing pants when I haven't shaved, most girls like to hide like that but I can't do it, I have got to shave!

I have a black classic video iPod. I cannot live without it. It was made especially for me. Anybody who knows me knows I am a big music person. Hence the music history footage part above...to put all your music collection on this little thing and stick it in your pocket/purse/diaper bag and to just plug it into your car, or stick it in some speakers at home...it's brilliant and I didn't even mention the video/podcast/audiobooks/pictures ect. part!

I cannot live without this store! It is a second hand store for anything for kids, but esp. babies/toddlers. I buy 90% of Marcelus clothes here, and I find brands like Tommy, Polo, Gymboree, Children's Place, Nike, Gap, Sprockets, ect. Every item of clothing is about 3-4 dollars! So I go, quickly search for the best brands in what I need and get a whole bunch of clothes for like 30 bucks, it's the best thing ever. I mainly just get clothes but they also have used books/movies, toys, cribs, any kind of baby gear, ect.

I must put my cell phone (pictured above) on this list. Lately it's been all about safety for me. Remember the Walmart miscommunication experience? And yesterday Sharrid brings his cell phone into town, but leaves it in the car for a few of our stops! Doesn't make sense. The whole point is to keep it on you so you can communicate if you want to seperate,and we seperate all the time! It does no good in the car! Anyway, among being a big safety item for us, it is just flat out convenient for me. I can't say enough about this, if you are on the road and lost, you can call 411 for directions or the person you are trying to reach...make reservations from the road, call your dr. office to say you are running a bit late for an appt., too many things to name...but more than anything it is just safe to have one.
