Day 3: A photo of you taken over ten years ago

Okay, here you have it. A most awesome picture of me in the 80's. I'm the one in the top right.
All right, all right, so that's not me, but the funny thing is that when I posted that pic on Facebook awhile back people actually questioned the validity of it. They honestly thought it was me!! Ha ha. I could only wish to have been that cool (or that old so I could go to all the new wave shows) back in the 80's. My brother, in fact, did have a girlfriend with such hair and I was always so jealous that she could pull it off. I tried one time to be cool back then. I wore the absolute brightest florescent green pants with a striped florescent green and white shirt with one of those florescent green jelly belts around my waist. I left to school feeling like a superstar and came home with my head hanging low in shame. That was the last time I ever attempted to "look cool."

Okay, on for the real pic. So because 10 years ago we didn't have a digital camera and right now I am just too gosh darn lazy to find one that is not already scanned in my computer, I will share this one and only solo of me that I do have scanned in. It is a picture of me with my friend/roomate's dog, Coolio. Coolio had a short stint at our house until our landlord showed up reminding us that we weren't allowed pets and hoping that the little black ball of fur he saw was not indeed one. Boo. We all loved Coolio. Anyway, right through that doorway is the exact spot where I met the one and only Ben so this picture is old, way old. Yes, I did have red hair at the time. In those years I also had blonde, a super sweet orangeish blond, ash brown (which is gray, did you know? It lasted about 10 minutes), black, and many more variations mixed in there. Ben totally thought I had red hair until we were engaged and was in for a shocker when he found out I was just a plain old boring brown. He almost broke it off. Anyway, with all the gray poppin up all over my noggin as of late, I'm thinking it's high time I went back to the bottle. Since orangeish blonde was the best and most attractive, I'm considering that one first in another attempt to "look cool."

That is a dang cute picture- the one of you, not the one that you joked about being you! It's always fun to see pictures of people from the olden days!
