Homecoming Voodoo

While enjoying my final few weeks at home on maternity leave I decided to join the computer social scene for fun. I started this blog and joined Facebook. One day on Facebook, a friend posted some high school pictures of us. It was so fun to look at us back then and I decided that I needed to be able to post some old photos of my own. I finally talked Justin into getting a scanner/printer and have been scanning away. So much fun!

Well, yesterday I went to my mom's house to see if she had any pictures that I could use. As I was sorting through a drawer full of pictures, some that date back to the 70's, some that were of last year's Christmas and everything in between, I found this little treasure.

Insight to my soul...



Let us first address the issue of attire. This was homecoming in Decatur, I was either 10 or 11. I had been asked to "go" to homecoming with Matthew Little. He's the one wearing the acid washed jeans--hot. Now, I met him at this fence once we got to the game so there was no "going" to anything. Anyway, once I had been asked to "go" I just had to have a new outfit. So mom took me on down to the Sunshine Square boutique and allowed me to pick out this outfit which actually looks like something I might wear today. Sad, but true. What can I say? I have never been afraid of color. Yes, I am the one with the RED boots, RED hair bow, and tight-rolled black pants with the socks over top. The watch is awesome, the hair is to-die-for, the turtle neck is glamorous as all get out, and the mum just puts it over the top.

But, wait! Where is my face? Let me explain...

The girl on the left was a friend. The boy beside her is Cody Cornell, only the cutest boy in 5th grade. Well, as much as I was flattered by Matthew Little's request, I secretly wanted to wear Cody Cornell's mum. So after the whole thing was over and we had the pictures developed, I did what any NORMAL girl would do. Yes, I cut out my head and I cut out the other girl's head and switched them. That way, you see, it was pretty much like Cody "took" me to homecoming.

Can you say psycho?

Oh, and I have no idea where our heads are. Creepy.

  1. You need counseling. I want all (I think there's 2) pics of you and me together brought to my house before I move. I am a little concerned about what you might do to them in say... 20 years!!!

    FUNNY!

  10. Maryann--put those bad boys on FB--NOW! I so remember that!
    Girl--initials A.T.
    You are in contact with Cody?No plans of sharing this with him, right?????I posted with the security of knowing that he or my sweet "Little" date would never find this out...OH, It doesn't really matter. maybe he's going through a rough time and needs an ego boost.
    sorry i just had 2 strong cups of coffee...
