Red Shoes

Since the alphabet is over, now we are visiting the colors of the rainbow!  If you want to know more about it, go ahead and click on Miss Jenny's button there.  

I was born with flat feet.  No, I haven't started the truth and lies yet...that is part 2 of this post.  I really was born with flat feet.  I had to wear the most butt ugly white corrective shoes on the planet.  I had planned to scan a picture of me wearing them, but I never got the original from my mom(totally my fault since I never even asked!) I was very little age 3 to 5 at most--though my mom says I may have been as young as one.  I  wore them for two years.  Two very long years.  Looking back, I am amazed at how I remember this.  The only thing I really remember about them is how ugly I thought they were.  I don't remember how they felt.  Just that they were UGLY!  All I wanted was pretty shoes like my sister.  I wanted red shoes.  Definitely not white.  No way!  And black would be boring.  No they had to be red.  

I don't really remember that magic day.  The day the ugly shoes came off.  But my mom held true to her promise to a little girl who wanted nothing more than a pretty pair of red Mary Janes.  I can remember red shoes, but I wasn't able to recall the style.  I had to ask mom about that.  Maybe that is why I am drawn to the color red. It has a wonderful memory attached to it!

Now let's get our lie on!

Let's review:

1.  I was the center of attention at a cast party:  True.   Where to begin with this?  I had my wisdom teeth out about 6 weeks prior.  Everything that could go bad did.  I could only DRINK my meals...shakes!  Yum.  I lost 25 pounds and was looking good!  Fast forward.  Went to a community play with my on/off boyfriend to see our drama teacher perform.  Well since half the drama class was part of the play, it made sense to invite his pet(me) to the cast party.  I had dyed my hair red.  It turned a lovely auburn shade.  Really looked good.  I wore jeans and a black shirt.  At the party, I had my date, the teacher, and three other guys from school all perched around little old me.  And yes, I ate every moment of that up!!!

2.  I have been toilet papering.  True.  And more than once.  On one such occasion I was at Girl's Camp where we TP'd one of the Junior Counselor's to her bed, as well as her mother.  Funny thing, daughter had natural nails that we would die for.  Her claws came up through that paper in her sleep and it scared us to death.  

3.  I played spin the bottle.  False.  Nope.  Never did.  

And now....

1.  I didn't get my license until I was 21.
2.  I failed the driver's test three times.
3.  I have never got a ticket.
