I've never been happier for our house fire.
I've been tagged (by Flea) to share my Prom Night (photos and all) with you, but the fire that ate all of Son #1's baby videos also ate my yearbooks and high school memories....
So, suffice it to say, I'm sure I wore a Gunne Sax, and my hair was feathered, in a very unbecoming way and oh, I'm pretty sure I was sunburned because that's the way I did things. The day before any important date (ie: High School graduation), my girlfriends and I would dump Hawaiian Tropic baking oil all over our bodies and then bask in the sun for hours.
I went with a friend, after breaking some kids' heart (he was the new cute guy and asked me-- when there were all of these girls drooling over him-- but a few nights on the phone I discovered, sadly, he was dumber than a box of rocks). I tried to explain to him that there were lots of girls that wanted to go with him, and that I just really didn't want to go.
To my Senior Prom.
Yeah.
Truth was, I liked Jim. I always liked Jim. I thought I would marry Jim one day when he finally realized I liked him. (He never did figure it out...)
So, I went with Dave. Who liked Lori. Always liked Lori. Everyone thought he'd marry Lori, but apparently after his mission, HE didn't think he'd marry Lori.
Lori and Jim were on an ill-planned baseball trip that caused many of the High School Seniors (baseball players and cheerleaders) to miss their Senior Prom.
So Dave and I danced and watched the clock for when the buses would return. The rest of the evening was spent in a home with too many teenagers watching movies.
Think Eighties.
That was me.
And since there's no proof disputing it, I was gorgeous.
I'd like to see Kellan's Prom.... Love to see Holly's too, but I am NOT tagging her. She HATES memes.
Happy Memorial Weekend everyone! I'm wishing you tons of joy and time with families, all privileges brought to you (and me) by our Veterans. Do me a favor and thank the next military person you see.

Thanks for sharing...I can just picture you with feathered hair!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Ha! One year I had a Gunne Sax dress too! Who knows where those pics are.
ReplyDeleteI loved your photo. :)
ReplyDeleteThe 80's were original, weren't they?
I so did not even attend my prom.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Memorial day weekend!
You sassy heartbreaker you!
ReplyDeleteI had awful hair and I AM NOT showing my prom picture to anyone! I appreciate the offer - maybe I'll change my mind - maybe I was cuter than I remember - I'll look for my prom picture.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend - see you soon - Kellan
Every Memorial Day we go to the cemetary and put american flags on the graves of my hubby's Dad & Grandad, as they were both veterans. This year, we're playing golf all weekend, so we might have to do a drive-by flag planting.
ReplyDeleteI love the song that's playing!
I didn't go to my prom...but the Air Force dining out made up for it! That's where I tagged & bagged my Hubby!
ReplyDeleteOh, does it have to be the first (last) military person I see. I just had a bunch of young soldiers in at the store I work at...a Canadian trading post...you know, moccasins and native flutes, fudge and rock jewlery. Well, these guys really wanted to know if they could drink the little Klondike gold vials we sell. Gold. Gold? Gold! I was worried for a moment about our safety as a nation.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
i can see you... you look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSitting in a hotel in Trinidad, your playlist came on and my husband and I listened to the entire list and wrote down many of the songs to purchase. I love your taste! Give your husband our gratitude for his military service. We salute you for your sacrifice also. We live by an air force base in Utah...Hill AFB....and make a point of thanking the soldiers who serve there. God bless the USA:)
ReplyDeleteI got your package today!!!! Thanks so much, you rock my world! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you were gorgeous! Did y'all watch the Breakfast Club?
