This week in Homecoming Week for our school. Tons of activities are happening. I remember my first real date was to the Homecoming Game and dance in 1988. Way back when...shall I bore you with the details?
It rained. I was in the marching band, tenor sax player, and it rained, oh, I said that. The band uniforms were hot and wet. I had to rush home after the game, dry all that hair, because wow, I had long thick hair and I had planned on HOT ROLLING IT. I wore pink stir up pants and a pink top with a 3/4 zipper in the front, huge coin dangling earrings, a Swatch Watch, ked tennis shoes and HOT ROLLED HAIR and I totally had the teased bangs, and the "wings", you know what I'm talking about...you take your comb, pull your hair straight out, drench it with hair spray and blow the hair spray dry, and vavoom...wings, major wings. If you didn't have the wings, who was gonna see those totally rad earrings? I was totally awesome dude. I had a date with XXXX XXXXX. He was nice and he asked so I went, but, so sad for my date, I was so totally into someone else who did not know that I was even alive. My date picked me up, I was excited because no boy had been allowed to pick me up until now. I think that Homecoming Dance and also the 1989 Prom were the only dances that I actually danced at. The rest, we just hung out. As for my date that night, it was the first and last date with him.
Present day...I'll attend the Homecoming without a date, Tim's football going days ended when I graduated high school. I'll sit with YARM13YOL and her "meet him at the game date" and Taylor who hasn't "gotten a boy yet" as she puts it.
This week at the Jr. High you will see, Jersey Day, Celebrity Day, Bling Bling Day, Hat & Shade day, and of course Spirit Day/Blue & Gold Day. Today, Taylor went as Sara Palin and MM went as ....her math teacher, Mrs. Byassee. Sorry, I did not get pictures of them, but I did get pictures of the.....
POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL GAME!!!! Senior Girls play the Junior Girls in football. Anna, our baby sitter is a senior this year... we were invited so we went to see her play. I don't remember this during my senior year. I missed alot that year because I was in GCECA, which was the work program.
I sat with Vicki, Anna's mom and had a great time.

How in the world do you remember all of those details????? I can't remember yesterday....
How did I remember the details?
I cheated.I kept a journal (I didn't read it this time) I guess I just remember the first date, plus I didn't get new outfits often and I paid for that one myself...babysitting awful children. Kind of makes you remember if it was HARD to earn it! and boy was it, those kids were awful and I caught infantigo (Im sure I spelled that one right).
I asked that same question the last time she waxed rememberance on us....
I love the small time life you've got there. Oh wait..I mean..that I'VE got HERE!
