I can honestly say you wrote exactly how I felt in high school and exactly how my kids feel now. We are weird, but I love it. I’ve never wanted to be a follower. It’s more fun to just do your own thing.

This is amazing, Lucy. I couldn’t remember what it was called, but I thought we killed that project. Was it just me? 😀 Found some photos of us at the lake. I should post those, too. HA!

Awe I love this Michelle! Indeed, weirdos unite. And amen to living the dream you didn’t know you wanted!

Also, Allen probably won Mr. nicest so that means a lot coming from him. Brooke and I {another briarwoodian-above} were talking about him the other day and how nice he always was.

If there was a yearbook section for nicest, Allen’s picture would have been in the middle. He should have been, anyway. He was also kind of famous because caves. ;} I took the kids to visit a few years ago, and it was total bragging rights to them {they were so impressed!} that I knew Allen.

If I can teach my kids to be an Allen, I will have succeeded at something in the parenting department.

Love it! I wasn’t always weird (or maybe I was and just didn’t know it). I was one of the popular ones.

I have been through a lot in my life. But now that I’m 74 years old and a NANA (dear Lord! How did that happen?) I appreciate the weirdness in me. And so do my Granddaughters 19 AND 16. They think I’m cool not that I try to be …..I wouldn’t have a clue how to do that. But their friends love coming to my house and think it’s cool that I sit and talk to them like adults and say things that their parents might not appreciate. And that I bake cakes for them for no reason.

I will never wear old lady shoes!

Be weird.

I met 3 girls who became my dearest friends and accepted me…the skinny, no breasts, knock-kneed, bowlegged, girl. The girls I grew up with since I was 3 had rejected me as I was a slow developer and ignored me. I ended up the happiest. Many of them were married 3 times or more, and were unhappy. I had a wonderful loving adoring husband from 1976 until he passed in 2012. Now I have entered a new relationship with another loving, caring, adoring man. Their rejections did nto keep me down.
