I Was So Cool

It was the early 90’s and I was so cool, look at my senior pictures and see.With my jeans that had chaps sewn on and my leather biker jacket and my spiral perm.  I still have that jacket, it’s to small, but I have it.  I think I have that flannel shirt too, I wore it until the back split from being washed to many times.  Did I ever mention that I have a problem throwing things out?I also still have the black and orange sweater pictured on the top right and most of the jewelry I’m wearing in these photos.

I have been doing a little cleaning and I am finding some wonderful and weird mementos.  I have love notes, journals, letters, and a lot of strange bits and bobs.  I have a list with all the code names my friends and I had for everyone, so no one would know who we were talking about, ex-boyfriend jewelry, weird ephemera hand made to illustrate personal jokes and my green velvet prom dress.  I can’t throw it out, but what should I do with it, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Chair Pile

I thought I would share what happened when I was busy for about 10 minutes and my children were "quiet".

Yes, that is almost every stuffed animal, pillow, and baby doll they could find.

My daughter was buried and had to be pulled from the pile and my son wanted to build it higher and slide down it.

Happy Holidays everyone, and yes I still need to finish those pajamas.
