Ok, so I grew up a HUGE tomboy. I'm talking people would say, "Your sons are so handsome!" to my mom (I have 1 brother). At the time I didn't see anything wrong with it, nowadays I laugh it off and stare in utter horror and fascination at the pictures from that era. I guess I thought it was cool
I was enormous for my age, I played soccer and basketball, I got some sweet fuckin glasses when I entered 3rd grade, I cut my curly hair short because I didn't know what to do with it and I was a

So naturally by the time I was in my mid 20's I was fed the hell up with the years and years glasses and sports goggles (yep, that happened) and contacts and everything that surrounded them. I ended up getting lasik and it was the best money I ever spent! Unfortunately it sent me into a downward spiral where I became addicted to expensive sunglasses.

I love your hair, now =) Seriously, where were our parents when we were sportin' these redonkulous styles? I promise to tell my kids when they look stupid! ... Mine were probably sitting in a corner laughing - "can't believe she is actually going out in public like that, at least we don't have to worry about her "hookin' up", no guy would come within 10 feet of something like looks like that!" - jerks! Oh well, whaddayagonnado?

ReplyDeleteHey girl! And you continue to crack me up. Was anyone really cool in their younger days? Oh, people were? I wasn't. I think I had the same pair of large round eyeglasses :)
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to sunglasses, sorry but I don't share your love for the nice kind. I am always sitting on them, stepping on them, otherwise breaking them or losing them so I stick with $15 or under. Of course I currently have a $10 pair that have lasted the past year, but you know as soon as I buy a nice pair of Chanel's then they will be gone the next day. That's how it works!
I'm still chuckling at the lesbian comment, so funny. You need to check out my high school senior picture, I'll IG it for you. I still don't know how I managed to get a boyfriend that year.
ReplyDeleteI totally rocked the sport goggles too! I played softball (big shocker with my lesbian tendencies and all, I know) and was the catcher. You can't wear regular glasses under a catcher's mask... so hello sport goggles. Loved this post! And you are welcome for the late night ab workout! Holla!
