When I was knee-high to a popcorn...

Here are some photos of me when I was a little girl.  I am easy to pick out as I am the one with the naturally curly hair.   I remember my grandmother reciting the following poem to me when I was being "bad".

There was a little girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead
when she was good, she was very, very good,
but when she was bad, she was horrid.

Dammit!  That used to really get me; so as an adult and since the curly hair still applies, I have revised the poem; here goes...

There was a little girl




who had a little curl



right in the middle of her forehead



when she was good, she was very, very good,



but when she was bad, she was Fabulous!

(Btw, Hunnybun prefers the "bad girl"!)  
Ok, perhaps that was TMI, but I could not resist the temptation to test your attentiveness. :)


The first few photos are from my dance lesson days. I was about 5-6 years aged  (As Andi can tell you the lessons did no help me) and yes, I still have the fringy leotard.  When I dance, I look like a reotard.  :) Maybe not that bad, but I like to poke fun at myself every now and then.

This is my mom - I am soooo proud of her.   She is the bursar at Texas Woman's University and has been with the school nearly 34 years.  She is also a motivational speaker and fantastic grandmother.

Now, a few photos of me before stretchmarks...
