Basketball practices/games and partied far too much.
Where did you work?
I worked at a geriatric , psych hospital in the summer.

For Grade 10 I did, then we moved off the farm, and I came up to Edmonton to go to school, and I lived in residence so I walked across the campus.
Who did you have a crush on?
Joshua!!!!
Did you fight with your parents?
Never my Dad, but certainly with my mother in grade 10, then I left, so not so much.
Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
Geeze! I don’t even remember.
Did you smoke cigarettes?
Yes I smoked from the ages of 14-31.
Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?
No, we just kept our books in our dorm rooms, and grabbed what we needed.
Did you have a ‘clique’?
Yes….the jocks and the jockettes!
Did you have “The Max” like Zach, Kelly, and Slater?
HUH?.
Admit it, were you popular?
Yes I was very well-liked, and popular, but not as in the “girlfriend” sense. I usually had a boyfriend, but never for any great length of time (not unlike my daughter….hmmmm).
Who did you want to be just like?
I just remember not liking being so tall and SKINNY! (sheesh how times have changed!!).
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I didn’t have a clue! Still don’t!.
Where did you think you’d be at the age you are now?
Pretty much where I am I guess, although I’m sure I had some delusional vision of marriage would be easier!

I’m just so thankful that my mother & I aren’t the only ones who have yet to figure out what we “want to be”… I thought it was a genetic disorder or something
I don’t wanna grow up. I’m a Toys R Us kid.
