still thankful after thanksgiving. with photos!

so i didnt post what i was thankful for yesterday bc i 1)had another (and still do) migraine and even looking at the computer made me want to hurl. if these dont go away soon i'm going to worry i have a brain tumor. 2)was either eating, sleeping, or driving.

that said, brain explosion aside, it was a good day. today was very good too and i picked up the last few things on my shopping list. and everyone elses shopping lists since the men of this family are incompetent.

and waking up to snow! i gotta say, i stood outside in it for just a little bit and enjoyed it. sometimes i really do like snow.

so that said. mom downloaded a bunch of old photos and so i stole them. and since i use this space to embarrass myself on a regular basis, I thought i'd share some of the choice ones with you. apologies ahead of time for my BANGS.



Here you can see Michael and I were very emphatic Star Trek fans. This is in the old house with the god awful wallpaper. This wallpaper is the reason that there is NO WALLPAPER anywhere in this house. enough about the wallpaper. look how scrawny and ridiculous we were.


This is Laura and I being flower girls at my cousin karen's wedding. those are my great grandparents in the background. they'd always let us have coke out of the glass bottles which i thought was the coolest thing ever. i realize how tacky that dress is now but at the time i felt like a princess. i loved that dress.So this is that easter i was telling you about. not the right photo, but you get the idea. i LOVED easter hats. again, i felt super stylish princessy. also note that i make that same terrible smile when i'm not really wanting to smile now. at least now my teeth are a little straighter. and i dont have BANGS. also note michael's bitching sweater.


here's the last time the padre and i got along. (jk. the man owes me some money, i should stay on his good side.) yes. even on a boat, the BANGS DO NOT MOVE. also, dad's shirt is a mouse weight lifting a mouse trap that says 'no pain no gain' i remember thinking this was hilarious. but enough about the shirt, look at my BANGS.

Isn't my evil brother adorable in this photo. That Dick Tracy shirt was his main fashion accessory for the better part of a year. he loved the hell out of that shirt.


And here's the last christmas we were all together, which would have been 4 months before pappaw died. it was a good christmas. the BANGS were a little bit tamer. but i think that lime green vest made up for them.

more photos to come. just you wait.

much lovelove to all of you.
