SPF- What Was I Thinking?
Well, it is that time again and Kristine over at Random and Odd has come up with
yet another installment for Stuff Portrait Friday. This week's assignment was to
find pictures that fits with the following captions:
Stuff that makes you wonder "What Was I Thinking?"
This picture would actually be more correctly titled: "What was my mother
thinking?"
I was six years old in this picture and Tannah, one of my two older sisters (my
parent's flowergirls) had come down to Houston to visit us. Right before she
left she braided my hair. I thought it was neat because my mother didn't know
how to braid. The next day my mother found the first of the many chicken pox
bumps that would start popping up all over my body. My mother decided it would
just be easier to leave my hair up in the braids since I would be taking oatmeal
baths for the next two weeks. This is what my hair looked like when we finally
took it out of the braids.
Blonde? What was I thinking?
This picture was taken outside of Fuddruckers after church one Sunday morning
during the summer of 1990. I had my hair highlighted blonde, and with my ghostly
white skin it looked awful. What was I thinking?
Stuff you're obligated to keep/display
This was made by my first college roommate.
Everybody put dry erase boards on their dormroom doors. She decorated our board
with crinkly green ribbon all the way around it and each of us had our own
little name plate hung on the top corners. I ended up moving out by the end of
October because she drove me nuts, so I'm not quite sure why I feel obligated to
keep this, but I do anyway.
My first bikini.
This little pink eyelet bikini came in a brown wicker purse with matching pink
flowers on it. Funny, I actually remember the purse. I have no clue why I still
have this and I am even more confused how it ended up here in my apartment
instead of at my parent's house in the attic with all my other baby stuff.
Something you think no one else owns
Neil Diamond t-shirt.
I'm probably not the only person who has this shirt, but after you factor in my
age and the fact that I have seen Neil Diamond in concert 5 times.. it will make
this shirt a little more unique. This is from when he performed at the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo in February 2002.
This is my autographed cookbook from Chef Paul Prudhomme.
One summer while I was at Baylor, my dad's old company, Rice Epicurean, sent him
to a Food Show at one of the hotels near DFW airport. On their way up to Dallas
from Houston, my parents stopped in "TheArmpitOfHell" and picked me up from Baylor and took
me with them. At the food show I got to meet Chef Prudhomme and he told me that
if I wanted to be a chef, I needed to get in the kitchen. It only took me
another decade but I finally did it.

I wasn't even sure what gender you were, then I saw the Neil Diamond t-shirt
(and the comment about seeing him in concert 5 times) and I decided that I don't
care if you're a hermaphrodite.
Neil Diamond rocks. And so do you.
