          The First Song I Remember Hearing 

The very first song that I remember hearing is Quiet Riot's: Metal Health. I only remember the chorus of that song when they sing, Bang Your Head!  🤣 And, I remember my eldest sister, M.B. playfully banging her head against the wall. 

When it comes to music that I really enjoyed listening to as a little girl, I remember Madonna's earlier music. I really loved her music when I was a little girl. One of my favorite songs was, Lucky Star. My 2nd eldest sister is a huge Madonna fan & her love for Madonna introduced me to her music. Then, I remember the song, True Blue, by Madonna coming out, too. And, Borderline. I loved those three songs by Madonna as a little girl even if I didn't fully understand the lyrics at the time. 

All of those songs came out before I was 10 years old. A lot of my favorite artists were influenced by what my Mom & older siblings & relatives listened to. But, I was always a TRUE #NKOTB Fan & Debbie Gibson & Tiffany. I was a huge Wilson Phillips fan. Then, somewhere along the line I was introduced to R&B & Hip-hop. 

As for the very first song that I truly remember hearing it's a song by Quiet Riot. And, the very first music artist that I really loved outside of #NKOTB, it's definitely Madonna.

A bowl full of Butterscotch Discs & Saltwater Taffy

Describe your earliest memory My earliest memory is at 1101. I was around 3 or 4 years old and our house was connected to another house on the left side of ours. An elderly woman by the name of Bobbie & her husband lived there. She was The Neighborhood Candy Lady. I had a clear hard plastic bowl in my hands & I ran next door to ask The Candy Lady for a refill.  I knocked on the door. Bobbie stood there with a smile on her face. She already knew why I was there, but, she waited patiently for my request.  "Candy, Bobbie!" I requested, as I raised the emplty bowl up to her. She laughed a little bit. "Yes, dear " she replied. She reached into her larger candy bowl that was on a table by the door full of butterscotch discs, cinnamon discs, salt water taffy & other candies & filled my bowl. "See you later, Bobbie." I said. I ran home excitedly, ready to share the candy with everyone in the house. Bobbie waved and went back ins...

June 17, 2026  | Wednesday  |  7:19 P.M.                                My Firsts ☆ First Friend My very first friend other than Bobbie & her granddaughter was a neighbor girl named Renee. Her parents were really great friends with my mom when we lived at 1101. I don't have any memories of her, but I do remember that we always played together. In my box of memories, I know that she was my very first friend outside of family in life. My very first best friend that I have memories with was a tall, skinny blonde haired girl named Danielle. We met in either headstart or kindergarten. She was extremely kind to me. We met one another when we were maybe 5 years old. We attended an elementary school together that was on The Federal Way Hill, but still in our city's school district. (Auburn School District #408). Then, we both began attending school together at Dick Scobee Elementary Sc...

My Special Teddy Bear 🧸

June 30, 2026  | Tuesday Evening  |  8:55 PM  The Long-Lost Childhood Possession that I Would Love to See Again  I was around eight or nine years old when my mom went into an inpatient program for drug & alcohol addiction. She was there for 30-45 days. I don't remember a lot from that time. Dad Mackie took care of us as well as my older sisters when Mom was away. 🥰  I remember one day Dad Mackie brought me to visit Mom on the weekend. She was holding this large light brown teddy bear. It had on a yellow & white dress. And, after I ran up to her & gave her a big hug, Mom handed me the teddy bear & told me that she made it just for me  🧸 Mom had never made me anything special like that before, so I really cherished my teddy 🧸 bear even more. At the time, I didn't realize that I was a sentimentalist. But, I knew that my new teddy 🧸 bear was extra special to me.  At the treatment center, a doll maker volunteered to teac...
