head gear

after a discussion about a wonderfully themed 30th birthday party... with 30 things represented that the birthday lady or man is 'happy' to be rid of, i have decided to begin now. i am 28. in hearing that some must prepare- i choose to queue up.

great idea jolene braband. wonderful conversation meghan mcgrath and jolene.

i'm looking forward to the incredible parties.

celebration of completion with:
1. head gear
2. braces
3. cuff-rolled, splatter-painted, white-washed jeans
4. multicolored, layered, slouchy socks
5. lisa frank stationary
6. fruit jammer theft from the elementary school store
7. lead smears and notebook ring inprints due to being a young lefty- who did not know it was ok to grasp the pencil lighter and flip the notebook around
8. jr. high dances
9. mandatory schooling
10. mandatory dresses and tights
11. perms
12. press-on earrings
13. low self confidence
