Old School Pics of the Day (8)

Karen found these pics on her computer today after clearing off her laptop in preparation for her maternity leave!

These are 2003-era snapshots that were taken at Peachpit for some reason that now escapes me. I think the idea was that they would be used for the company's website, but that never happened. Nonetheless, they are so cute!



Karen is now married and awaiting the birth of her new child (gender TBD)!



Ren is now working at the fabulous purveyor of the loveliest coffee table books this side of the Rockies, UC Press.



Suzie is now married with a lovely little son and is freelance editing! I have so many memories of cracking up with Ms. Q in this cubicle... you have no idea.

Yay! Miss you ladies!!! xoxo

Old School Pic of the Day (6)

Well, the holiday season is upon us (how it's already December I have no idea) and I've even put up lights on my patio (I'm usually opposed to decorations, mostly because I'm too lazy to deal with putting them up, then taking them down in a month).

But this year, maybe because I get a month off from school and a trip to Portland, I'm looking forward to the holidays!

Here's a pic from probably 1977 or 1978. The expression on my mom's face is priceless. You can take the gal out of New York, but you can't take New York out of the gal. She seems to be thinking: "I have to get up this effing early and you wanna take my picture?" I love it.

This is tooo funny.

Here is Rypinski, who a certain someone once called "pretty lips," in character at a murder mystery party thrown way back on March 24, 2000.

Happy Halloween

My sister reminded me that little children could be walking up to my door this evening asking for candy.

How was I oblivious to this? I knew Halloween was coming up but somehow it didn't occur to me that all the little kids in my apartment complex could be knocking on my door demanding treats.

I guess I'll have to go to the store at the last minute on my way home from school (I'll be at school from 8:30 to 5:30 today, beautiful!). Sonofabitch.

To get in the spirit of things, here's a picture of one of my Halloweens. Prior to this picture being taken, some little effer ripped off my tail (I'm supposed to be the Pink Panther). I was furious. Ahh, childhood!

I think this is from 1999.

Notice all the short hair cuts on the gals! I think we were inspired by Scully.

And Winter (the boy pictured) is our "Huckleberry Finn" type friend. Not that that explains his hair in this pic.

It's a two-fer, since I gots to represent both of these dolls!


Here's Jess, doing what she can to get impregnated by Ben Harper in 1998. Oww!


Here's Mark in 1996. The inspiration behind this photo (and there's a series of them somewhere) was "poses with ice blendeds in the style of graduation photos."

Seth. 1995. I think he was 19 here. Hot, yeah?

BTW, what happened to those nice days when the boys wore funky shirts from thrift stores and rocked the side burns? I miss those days.

The list of ways I can procrastinate grows!

Fun with scanning: here's a pic from nearly 10 years ago. I can't believe it's been close to 10 years since we took this photo.



I envied K's blue peacoat so much back then. Still do.

More to come!
