Now and Then

We just got Felicia's 5th grade pictures back. I mean they look nice, but I am not too sure how much I like them. I think a lot has changed since 1987. To illustrate my point. this is my ten year old daughter. She looks pretty together and actually quite cute. Now brace yourself for step two.








This is MY 5th grade picture. Did my mom dress me? I sure hope I have someone else to blame for the turtleneck UNDER the sweater. Good LORD, did I live in Alaska. Notice the lovely braces and grandma approved hair style.

I believe that is the key to my locker around my neck. Did I need to take a picture of it so I wouldn't forget that 5th graders get lockers? The only positive thing I can say about this picture is at least I had the sense to match my earrings! Whilst browsing through my old picture albums I found a rather interesting photo of my 8th Grade Graduation Party. If you look closely you will see Sixela. One of my mostest favorite people in the whole world. We have been best friends since the 8th grade! She is the one in the super snazzy 90's hot pink getup. I bet you cant guess which one is me? Another fashion disaster! Did I think I was getting MARRIED? I hope you all enjoyed this little comparison. I am still waiting on embarrassing pictures from you!!

Did you have to post such a hideous picture of me?? And that dress, I didn't need a reminder of how badly my taste was.
I know how you feel about daughters, my 6 year old is going to look 16 when's she's 11, shoot me now. By the way, I've enjoyed your blog, I check it out all the time!!
