So my tally is: FORTY-NINE!!! And I'm not even 49 years old yet as per nancy who got 40 and is about to turn 40.
Guess this makes me spoiled. Although I hate that word. I used to be called that as a kid cause I was an only child which right away seems to denote that one is a spoiled kid and believe me I was not! I'm the typical product of hard-working immigrants. Both parents with a mere elementary school education came to Canada with a dream. And I guess I'm living their dream. After years of hard work in often awful work conditions and scrapping to get me a decent education, here I am, with all this stuff of which I, for not a second, take for granted and am so grateful for.

I think I will set a personal goal to gain 1 item each year, keeping the spoiled status count to equal age.
Ooo, so glad you played along, too!
I didn't want to dare do this meme as I think it would say that I am spoiled, but I don't feel like I am. And TwimMom, I don't think it is spoiled when you work really hard to achieve all the things you have achieved. Spoiled is when your parents buy everything for you ;)
