But here was the bummer of taking today off work. I was told that I missed my name on the radio! I listen to wbcl when I'm at work, and Friday, the morning guys (Phil, Jim, and Larry) were talking all about the earthquake. People called in to tell where they were when it happened and how they figured out what was going on...and Phil said something about feeling like the only one who missed it. I got on the Rise n Shine page on the web and sent him a message to let him know he'd not been the only one to miss out entirely, but his show went off the air about five minutes after I sent the message. Evidently today he read my message on the air! RATS! I mean yay for reading it but RATS for missing it! Oh well.
Here's a couple pictures of the FABULOUSLY awkward stage of being seven. The hair...the teeth...what a rough time of life for kids.
This one seemed appropriate today because I purchased a new green backpack when I was out shopping. I wasn't nearly as amazed at today's purchase as I was over this gift...but at least I stayed in the same color family. I really wanted a pink one today but they weren't on sale. Green was. I've been borrowing my friend's backpack way too much, and that just borders on rude, so I sprang for one of my very own.

Green is the color of savings.
When I was 19, "everybody" wore brown Dunham Tyrolean hiking boots. I got a summer job at Yellowstone (where they paid less than minimum wage--they called it recreational wages), and with my first paycheck (half was taken out for room & board) I went off to buy some Dunham Tyroleans. They cost almost $100 (in 1976), but the green ones were on sale for $40, so I plunked down my money. I made fun of the color first to my friends, before they could make fun of it, and then life was good. I was cool enough to matter.
I think I still have those boots.
Anyway, enjoy your new backpack. Green is the new Pink...
I had a cake like that too!! I need to find a picture of that.
