Why didn't they do this when I was in high school?!!

This is an old picture, but I just ran across it & wanted to share.







My good buddy Caralyn at Fig-Fat Meanie tagged me to do this meme.

A to Z meme

A - Age of your first kiss: Spin-the-bottle kind -- don't know; meaningful one, see "First Kiss " post below
B - Band you are listening to right now: Ray Charles
C - Crush: George Clooney
D - Dad's name: Frank
E - Easiest person to talk to: The Professor (as long as it's not politics)

I - Instruments: I can play "Chopsticks" on the piano -- does that count?
J - Junior High: Edward Carey, Dallas, TX. Funny thing about that was that they'd had us in the high school since 8th grade -- finally finished the junior high & stuck us in there for the last semester of 9th grade -- as you can imagine we were irate -- but since it forced me to notice the boys my own age, it was the best thing for my social life for the next 3 years
K - Kids: 3, ages 40, 38, 33 (still can't believe I have kids that old!)
L - Longest car ride: New York to Houston; Dallas to San Francisco -- too lazy to look up the miles and see which one was the longest
M - Mom's name: Lily
N – Nicknames: Shortstuff, Smurf, Scarlett
O - One wish: Hate to sound like a Miss America contestant, but my one wish would be that no child would ever have to feel pain again

T - Time you woke up today: 5:00am

X-rays you've had: mouth, face, right wrist
Y - Years since you've been to church: Less than one -- I'm one of those Episcopalians who's still mad that they changed the prayer book (30 years ago!)
