I've been looking through some boxes of stuff from my mom's condo tonight, and came across a 1974 S&H Green Stamps catalog.

When I looked through the catalog, there was something on nearly every single page that either we owned, or someone I knew owned. In many cases, we still have the items somewhere in my mom's condo either packed up or waiting to be packed.

Also...last weekend my hubby wanted to go take a stroll through an antique mall. I love antiques. But I had the same experience as in the Green Stamps catalog -- I kept saying "OMG, I had that!" or "OMG, my grandma had that."

Now...you KNOW you're getting old when you go to the history museum and some of the stuff on display is just like the one you had as a kid. In a MUSEUM. (sigh)
