...except for maybe this stuff:
1. When I was 4, my mom entered my sister and I in a Halloween costume contest. My sister walked away with the best-dressed girl award for her Carmen Miranda outfit. And guess who got the best-dressed boy award for her Train Engineer get-up?
2. When I was 20, I ran away to join the circus. I kid! I kid!
3. When I was 29, I competed in the U.S. National Judo championships. No, I'm not kidding this time. I'm a third-degree brown belt.
4. When I was in my thirties, I took myself and my job way too seriously.
5. In my forties, I started to spend so much time with horses that I started to look like one.
6. A few weeks ago, I bought a scanner. Now I can share all of my old embarrassing photos with you.
I'm going to leave this tag open to anyone who's in the mood to reveal six random things about themselves. Go ahead...it's fun. Find your old photo albums and pick out the most embarrassing ones. I dare you.
This was a cute post.....sorry for your sister, you had the best costume!! even for a girl!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute - love your train engineer get up! This was so much more interesting than just a listing - I might have to look up some old photos :)
ReplyDeleteCute post!! Love the little engineer....now I am gonna head on over and get me a donkey calendar!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Linda! Looking like a horse is probably the biggest compliment you could get!
ReplyDeleteLooking like an ass wouldn't be bad either ;~) Especially when you're looking like George or Alan!
Why do we do that to ourselves in our thirties? Now that I'm in my early fifties, I'm gotten so easy going, I'm not the same person. I'm finally rested, relaxed and content.
ReplyDeleteOh man, do I have some embarrassing old photos....I just have to figure out my scanner....'course if ever there was a good reason NOT to figure it out it would be sharing those memories! :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, well done. I guess I'll give you even more respect now that I know you're a 3rd degree brown belt.
ReplyDeleteYour corporate picture looks great, but I have to admit I like you 'horse face' even more. I suspect the real you is captured there.
Dan
PS: At least I didn't say, "Why the long face?"
Love the horse picture. That's how I look the best, hidden behind a horse. You're a good sport, I would never post embarrassing photos of myself, and believe me there are plenty.
ReplyDeleteWow, a brown belt! Awesome. I work with a woman who's a black belt, so whenever we get anyone 'questionable' in the Gallery, I just stand back and let her handle it. She's never had to tackle anyone, but she's not afraid to get in their face.
ReplyDeleteWhat you don't know about people, hmmm?
Wonderful photos! I could look for HOURS at people's old pictures...as long as people are in them and they aren't just landscape shots. That top picture of you and your sister is my favorite. Look at the size of your smile!! :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that was a really unique way to 'answer' that tag ... I really got a kick out of it!
ReplyDeleteAll of those pictures are classics!! Things we did not know about you! Now one thing I do know, don't mess with you! Judo?? Who knew??
ReplyDeletelol, that's great stuff right there :)
I love this. Dare? Did I hear dare? I will certainly have to do some digging.
ReplyDeleteI think you look good with a longer, um, mane...very flattering, makes your ears look smaller.
