show me that smile again…

Anyone feel like a carnival? Rocks in My Dryer is hosting one and I wanted to play. So welcome! Click on the little logo to see the master list of giveaway goodies. But once you see what I have, you will look no further. I know you want it. I also know you wish you didn’t. But you do.
I bought this the summer after the baby was born mainly because I spent a lot of time nursing and in the middle of the night, reading requires too much light (not to mention thinking) and we didn’t have cable. Besides, who doesn’t want to revert back to 1985 in the middle of the night while nursing a newborn…?

I expected it to be somewhat entertaining. After all, Kirk Cameron was quite the heart-throb, was he not? What I didn’t expect, however, was that everything would be so…familiar: the greenhouse back porch, Mike’s leather jacket, Carol’s big red glasses, the wooden truck on the shelf in the kitchen. I even found myself thinking the lines in my head before the characters said them. What? Where in my brain is there room to store the 20 year old script to Growing Pains? I was equal parts pleased and embarrassed by this ability of mine.

But I am no longer nursing and I have it memorized anyway. So now its your turn! As long as you live in the US, you are eligible! Aren’t you lucky? The winner will be randomly picked and posted on Saturday. Just leave a comment (with an email if you don’t have a blog link) to be entered to win your very own used-but-still-good copy of season one of Growing Pains.

Mike Seaver is waiting.

    I totally, totally had a poster of Kirk Cameron on my wall. And when I was in college I shared air with him at a restaurant in my hometown. I almost passed out when he walked by my table to go to the men’s room. Did you know Kirk Cameron pees? ‘Cause I didn’t.

  64. Corina says:

    Oh yay!! I loved growing pains! And seriously, why aren’t old reruns on the air?!
    My girls have been introduced to “full house” and love it just as much as I did when I was their age.
    maybe we can do the same for growing pains!

  65. Überjoy: says:
