I'm working on a super funny story right now and it's actually quite long, so for my 3 loyal readers, here is a little something to laugh about in the meantime.
I've decided that I was quite weird in high school. I didn't know it at the time because, well, at the time I was just me. I didn't really have an identity at all. I wasn't one of those extremely noticeable weird kids, I didn't mutilate myself or scream out profanities to get a reaction. No, I was just quietly weird. One of the silliest things I did was during my Junior year, I carried around an Elmo head purse. I didn't care that it was meant for toddlers, or that it would occasionally disrupt class because it would laugh like all other Tickle Me Elmo's, when you pushed a button under the chin. I didn't care that a few people would laugh at me, because that wasn't what I was going for. I carried it around, to and from school everyday because I loved it. The Elmo head purse was fun and even though I know it's 100% weird I kind of wish that I still had that old Elmo. I lost it to my darling niece, McKaleigh. I vividly remember the day that my devil-of-an-ex-sister-in-law told me I was too old to have an Elmo purse and she took it from me. I'm sure I'd be okay with that if McKaleigh still had it, but knowing my devil-of-an-ex-sister-in-law she probably threw it away after a couple of days. Tear.Now I would like to know some of the weird things you did in high school. Don't hold back, we're all friends here. :)

I think I know where it is. (The Elmo Purse) All you have to do is clean up the downstairs toy area and I know you would find it!!!!!! No kidding....I really think it is there. I don't just want a free clean up. (Well, maybe a little bit.) By the way, I look at your blog everyday. It is so disappointing when you haven't written anything for that day. You are very funny and a great writer. I am not saying this just because I am your mother. It is really true!
I've been trying to think of a "high school confession" I could comment with since reading your blog yesterday, and I decided everything I did in high school is too scandalous or embarassing to fess up to here...especially after reading how your mom reads your blog everyday. Hi Kathy!!
I have been thinking the last couple days about embarrassing things that I did in high school and other than the normal drive by "the love of my life's" house when he wasn't calling me to see if maybe he just wasn't home (this was before everyone had cell phones) and then freak out when he was home, but he hadnt called me yet. It was normal for girls to do that, right?
Anyways, other than that, when I first started going to high school, I wore sports jerseys pretty much everyday to school. Not the cute ones made especially for girls that you can buy now, but actual men's sized jerseys. My regular rotations were Steve Young (I had 3 different ones), John Stockton (of course), Karl Malone, and John Elway. I don't know which is worse, men's basketball and football jerseys or a talking Elmo purse, but I think they are probably pretty equal.
And I know what you are thinking, the boy wasnt calling me BECAUSE I was wearing men's football jerseys to school, but I had long since stopped wearing them by that time. :)
I wet the bed till I was a sophmore... it was especially weird at sleepovers.
