Ten On Tuesday: The Old Edition

I have a lot of old things in the house that I hang on to because I treasure them (special mementos or memorabilia), but I don't neccessarily use them.  So here are ten things in my house that I've had for a long time that are still in use:

1) My teddy bear - 18 years
Yes, I am 30 and I still sleep with a teddy bear that my grandparents gave me for Christmas in 1991.  I don't cuddle with it because it's a security thing...I just like to have something to wrap my arms around.  A pillow could do the same trick, but my bear is broken-in in all the right spots :-)

2) Vicks Vapo-Rub - 30+ years
There is a jar of Vicks Vapo-Rub in my medicine cabinet that has been around since before I was born and, yes, I still use it.  We do have a newer jar that Mike or the boys will use if need be, but when I'm sick, I like to dip into my jar. 

3) My brown GAP bunnyhug - 13 years
I bought this bunnyhug when I was in grade 12 and I still wear it.  The fact that it still looks brand new speaks to its quality. 

4) My hairbrush - 18 years
It may gross out people to know I've been using the same brush since I was twelve.  It is black and purple and I bought it during my Sweet Valley Twins days when I LOVED the colour purple.  Surprisingly, I've never watched that movie.

5) My Jurassic Park coffee mug - 17 years
I bought this mug before I even drank coffee, but I loved the movie and had to snap up anything and everything associated with it.  I also owned a plastic Jurassic Park lunch kit that I actually took my lunch to school in.  I was one cool cat back then :-)

Okay, so maybe this wasn't the best topic to start off my Ten On Tuesday, since I'm at a loss for five more items.  But if I hadn't thrown out my alarm clock or my pink silk boxer shorts, I would have had a total of seven.  It's my blog and if I want to list only five things instead of ten, I can do just that.  Get over it :-)
