Meme-ory lane

Not A Mean Girl tagged me! This meme is a little bit different. I like it. I think you'll all enjoy the results. HA! I literally chuckled when I realized what photo was going to be the subject of the post.

Here are the rules:

1. Go to your documents
2. Go to your 6th file.
3. Go to your 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.
5. Tag 6 friends to do the same.

Simple enough right? Here is my 6th Photo

This lovely photo comes from my "those were the days" folder. It's filled with pictures that have been scanned by myself or friends. I love that we can do that! Otherwise, how would I show the blogosphere my hot 80's style?

From left to right: ME, Laurie, Kelly and Jessica. The year was 1985, I believe. I was 19 and ripe for the pickin' Please note the tan. I'm quite certain I was doing the fake and bake because my tummy is beautifully bronzed. I have no recollection of wearing a bikini back then. My boobs were so tiny!

I had gone to Decatur with Laurie, I think, to have a rip-roarin' good time before she got married in September. This was a typical pose for us when a group of us got together. I always thought it was stupid, but I went along because Laurie would insist. I think she just wanted to show off her gams. I have no idea. Kelly seems a bit reluctant, doesn't she?

I don't follow the rules implicitly. I think plenty of others are already committing this meme as I type. So, I will spare y'all.

    Yep. The 80's sure knew how to make hair big. AUSSIE Freeze was my hair's best friend.
    Rupe, to answer your question about Jessica's shirt: There was a fashion to have back shirt tails exceedingly long compared to the front. Jess opted to tie the front. I'm certain there was an idea it made her look thinner. Jessica has aged amazingly. She's breathtaking.

    The photo was taken at Kelly's mom's house. I can't be held responsible for the furnishings. We always joked that she looked like Lisa Lisa of "Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam." She emphatically denied all such accusations.

    I was a very low budget gal. Wait, somethings never change. Anyway, That shirt was cut off. It did hand below my arse and I felt it wasn't flattering. Besides, when you have tanned, flat abs, it's OK to show a little bronzed skin, right? I had a shirt that matched the shorts. But that'd be overkill on the pastel plaid.

Inaugural video message from your Wildhair

Oh, nice still frame! I look like I'm about to heave or I'm doing my impersonation of Jabba the Hutt. This is an impromptu idea. I wanted to give my friends, family and readers something special for the end of the year. Let me know if this version of my randomosity is something appealing for the future. My random blathering takes on a whole new meaning when you witness it live ... or almost live. Happy New Year!

Today makes the third day off work. Seriously, I need to find a way to make money doing this; screwing around online and in the process maybe hammer out a coherent thought that resonates with whomever stumbles up on my blog (either by accident or intention). This mornin g I had no inclination to do my laundry after Mancub left for school. No, what I fully planned was crawling back into bed for another hour or so. Then, once fully re-rested, I'd make a pot of coffee and chillax with the morning news. Oh, who am I fooling? I would have parked my carcass at this amusement box and goofed around on Plurk or Facebook with an intermittent perusal of one of the blogs I have listed over there ----------> Maybe I should always plan on being Miss Slackerass because, rather than going back to bed, I put on clothes, sorted laundry and hauled my tuchus to the local gas n'sip /launderette. Small town living is just so freakin ' peachy. For a Monday, the gas/laundry facility was ...

I'm not one for keeping an immaculate home. I grew up in a house that was clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be lived in ... or something along that vein. I tend to avoid cleaning beyond the regular chores of washing dishes and laundering our clothing. I know our cats turn the countertops into their own stage. Because I have visions of the two cats doing their strippers on crack routines on the counters, I keep anti-bacterial spray on hand at all times. What I'm confessing to is not getting into the nitty gritty of cleaning on a weekly basis. In fact, if it comes twice a year I consider it OCD. I have a distinct recollection of my mother only cleaning our kitchen floor by means of scrubbing it on hands and knees. That is drilled into my head as the only way to truly get the floor clean. I own a Swiffer Wet-Jet, but that thing doesn't really get the floor clean in my opinion. I use it between times when I break down and get on all fours to scrub the kit...
