homecoming

Yah, but now she'll match all the other indiividualists at the dance...

Teenagerhood -- the land of "having" to pay $175 for blue jeans...

She tried on about 40 dresses last week and the one she fell in love with was regularly priced at $170.00 and it ended up being on clearance for 27.00!
Isn't that unbelievable?

The savings on the dress paid for the hairdo she had to have ... and you know she had to have it done

What an adorable child! Mine once found a pair of Seven for all Mankind jeans at a thrift for $4. That was about two weeks before she decided she didn't really care.... SO happy she didn't insist on full price ones!

OMG, my daughters best friend's date just got diagnosed with mono this morning and can't go. She's in tears but luckily her ex boyfriend agreed to stand in. Isn't that sweet.

I went to a girls' school, hardly knew any boys. (Another whole subject).
Liked the guy I asked to my junior prom - talked with him decades later after there was a spread in the news about him, and he mixed me up with someone else. Heh. He was wildly glad to hear from me but thought I was another girl..

Was set up at my senior prom with the son of a friend of my dad's. Nice guy - and we both would have probably been fine without meeting. (Makes me wonder at this late date about the machinations behind that.) I remember thinking less of him for being younger. Snort... snort since I eventually married someone much younger, and snort because he was really dazzlingly cute and smart and I didn't care, fool on two feet that I was.

So, Marty, carry on, mom...
