Pictureless Wednesday!

Today is a foggy one in my brain. I have a head cold and have not had enough rest in the last few days. Yes, I know it is Wednesday and therefore this post is usually a Wordless Wednesday one, but hang with me a moment, maybe this muddiness will be become clearer shortly.

I have spent the weekend looking through a box of old pictures. The box was labeled simply "The 80's" so when I found it, I knew I would have a variety of things to look at inside. I found pictures of me and my old youth group, circa 1981. I found pictures of some crazy high school friends posing as models that just cracked me up - these would be circa 1986. There was a stack of photos from a friend's wedding, pictures of all of my close high school friends and I, dressed up and smiling in one big group. I found pictures from the night of my senior prom, the preparations for the big Prom breakfast held at my house afterwards and then some shots of me and my mask boy, my friends and their dates at various times during that night. There were pictures of me cooking dinner, acting silly, hanging out with all the people I loved during the 80's. There were the crazy shots of me and my two (then) best friends, hanging out at each other's houses, at the beach, doing lots of those high school girl crazy things. Pictures of a Journey concert from 1986, just a crazy combination of snapshots from my life, twenty years ago.

It was such fun going back and seeing all those young faces (mine included). My immediate thought was -WOW - I can't wait until Wordless Wednesday comes around next -- how fun. How fun indeed. As you may be noticing, there are no pictures here in this Wordless Wednesday post - why, you may ask? Well, my scanner has gone to scanner heaven. It is non-communicative -- has left me high and dry - sad and pitifully pleading with it to breathe once more, once more to warm up its lamp, scan it's picture, work it's magic. Nothing!

So, my blog readers, here is your opportunity to use your creative imagination. Just picture this:

• Me - in 1984, turquoise prom dress, standing beside Maskboy in a tuxedo -- oh - we were cute - cute, I tell ya!


• My friends Abe and Charles, pretending to be models in 1986, lots of posing going on -- studly (?), well, maybe not!


• My high school group, reunited in 1987 for a wedding. All my boys in tuxedos, all us girls in church dresses...hamming it up at the reception.


• My old youth group, circa 1982 - hanging out at the lake, a shower cream fight and relay races.


• Me, Sue and Kim (yes, boys in the band girl) hanging out at Mrytle Beach - probably somewhere around 1986/87. Dressed in our finest 80's attire, lots of big hair and makeup.
  

Got it all in your head? Well, good. There you have it, then, a trip down memory lane on a very WORDY, wordless Wednesday.

I promise if the scanner comes back to life or a new one comes to live with me soon, I WILL scan all of these in and show them to you. Won't it be fun to see if your imagination and the reality measure up?

Living Happily Ever After,
