Remember When...

I used to talk on the phone, like, all the time with my friends.


I wore the most hideous glasses and my aunt permed my hair.


I used to always have a cat in my arms.  Meet Smokey.  Not much has changed.


I would multi-task.  Again with the phone.  Nowadays it's a computer.


I drove the family "bug."


Portable music meant getting a "tiny" boombox.


Over-achieving was just an everyday part of life.  Sharing valedictorian honors with friends.


As was music.  Playing in the orchestra at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute.


I attended my best friend's high school graduation (one year behind my own) with my boyfriend at the time.  They married almost 23 years later.


And if I wasn't holding a cat, I was holding a horn.  Woodwind quintet at the University of Oklahoma.



This trip down memory lane is prompted by a trip back home to attend my 25th high school reunion.  Go Midwest City Bombers!!
I'll be back early next week.
