Flashback Friday


That sweet little thing is me, circa 1972 (or '73 - I'm really not sure.)

I'm pretty sure my Mom made the dress.

I lived on Dow Road. The best place in the world to grow up.

Don'tcha love the bangs? Classic.

If my head was out of the way, you'd be able to see where my cat, Tuffy, ate his breakfast every morning. Back there in the kitchen, next to the fridge.

I had brothers and neighbors to play with, a Mom who was always there, a Dad who got home from work every day at 4:30, and endless woods behind my house in which to play.

Life was good in 1972 (or 3...)

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions.

I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
