Then you all went and left me a ton of comments (which I LOVE by the way)
So, I guess my audience is *not* looking for deep and meaningful reading ;) I embrace you :D
I've had a few messages about not updating in a week but honestly, I was just REALLY hoping to be able to regale you all with my tales of good luck this past week.
Obviously, I'm not going to be able to do that. I have heard some good bird poop stories though and really, who can beat that?
So, instead...a little public service announcement. Braces are a GOOD thing for your children parents! And please, for the love of God, try your damndest to talk your little girl out of this haircut. (OK, so I guess I *am* lucky in the sense that my awkward phase only last 10 years or so...I've finally grown out of it - I think) Thanks to my stepdad Scott for emailing this picture...no thanks a lot, I mean it {dripping sarcasm} And, I would have included the picture of my brother with his GIANT crayon but I'll leave it to Jenni to do it for me :)
HAHAHAHAHA....loving that shirt E!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had a similar haircut:D
and headgear..
lol, your sweater rocks. and i love the walkman. very very nice touch - one i have not ever seen in pictures before!
ReplyDeleteLOL! What a typical '80's pic, that Walkman is a perfect accesory! ;-) YOu have definitely bloomed into a swan Erica! I do believe we all get better with age, not just in the knowledge Dept. ;-)
ReplyDeleteyou look hot... h-o-t. i can soooo see you brining that look back E. carlos would love it!
ReplyDeleteOK, get ready, cuz I am gonna laugh, and laugh HARD! HAAA! Great picture!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Melanie. Pure HOTNESS!!! Look at you. That sweater is just perfection. And hey, at least you still look like a GIRL with that haircut. I, on the otherhand was mistaken for a boy for a VERy long time. I think until I had boobs :p
ReplyDeleteHey, that's my haircut!! Right now. Kind of. ;) Love the green shirt and the walkman. You were so cool back then... wow. But now I'm dying to see the picture of your bro with the crayon.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think BHG needs an article based on that picture. Especially on leaving "personal items" in a picture. AND REALLY BIG PRINTS on your clothes. Just a lot of good tips there. :)
ReplyDeletei HATED my pics before braces!! soooo not cool
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I am thinking you ought to start a blog challenge thing after the holidays.....posting a school picture on your blog ;) I am not sure I have one.....LOL J/K!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well. Been a rough one around here! Can't wait to slow down!
I am wondering what was playing on your walkman? If Destiny's Child was popular back then I bet it would be..."I'm feeling sexy, I want to hear you say my name..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I just love you.
ReplyDeleteOk so you have now thanked me for the wonderful pic. I'll keep looking for more k? And just in case your friends were wondering your Mom says it had to be Madonna on the walkman.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I had this haircut....in the picture of me with the crayon (see my comment on Jens post). Too freakin' funny! I don't think I could bring myself to share my pic though. Props to you:)
ReplyDeleteHey babe! Nice cassette player & head phones! ;-) LOL! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteRobin
hmmmm, i think i may have the next inspiration for a layout...lovin those sweater colors....LMAO!! the walkman really *makes* the photo :-)
ReplyDeleteHey! Whata coincidence - I just grew out of my awkward stage, too. ; )
ReplyDelete:) I have never seen anyone pose so thoughtfully with a walkman before. :)
ReplyDeleteAshley.
