Time in a bottle
I have nothing to blog about and what should appear on my door step yesterday? A big old box from the early 80’s. My mom is contemplating moving and is sick of dragging around boxes of stupid stuff that I haven’t looked at in 25 years. So she sent one to me. I don’t know what the postage was but it was worth every penny. That photo over there? That is me in the 4th grade. It is a shame you can’t make out the details. I am wearing an 80’s power bow tie (a la Diane Keaton in Baby Boom). My mother had socially suicidal odd ideas of how a child should dress. I wasn’t allowed to wear t-shirts or jeans that weren’t ironed or I looked like I had a mother who didn’t love me. (Quit rolling your eyes Mom. It is true. Those were your exact words.)
I’m still going through the box but I’ll share the treasures as I unearth them. Just to keep you all coming back, I’ll let you know that 1 item found is my diary (thankfully not locked because it would have been lost to mankind forever with that impenetrable lock).
Michelle, I seriously thought that was Andy Gibb.
I remember when my mom made me take all my old stuff…..very fun on memory lane!!!
Hmmm… I thought that was Griffin with his new hair style. And then I saw the bow tie.
Oh, and I think I used that same phrase that your mom did recently trying to talk Griffin into getting his hair cut.
I am about to pee in my pants laughing – beacause I have a pic of me in the 5th grade wearing a pair of khakis and a pink oxford cloth shirt with a multi-colored ribbon tie:) The hair cut is also simular –
The other thing that makes me laugh is that my sloppy sixteen year old son has heard a simular quote about his “dress code” I have actually told him – your teachers probably think we hate you 😉 he insists on wearing clothes that he crammed in the bottom of his closet despite my begging not to -sigh –
This made my day!!!!!!!
Now I have to find that pic:)
They just don’t make diaries like that any more:):)
Michelle you kill me at least your hair don’t look the same. Wish that I could say the same Let’s see more or I will bring out my 80’s box.. Love Ya.
