Found this over at Musings of a Housewife and thought that it was interesting…and because I really have nothing else to write about today, I thought I would play along…
and aren’t you in for a treat…
I have pictures…
1. I attended three different high schools over the course of 4 years… Archbishop Prendergast (Drexel Hill, PA), Philadelphia High School for Girls, aka Girls High (Philly), and Lord Botetourt High School (Daleville, VA)
2. When I moved to VA, it was mid year my junior year… because it was too late in the semester to get me in an academic class like home ec or early childhood education, they put me in advanced PE… with all the boys… yes, I was the only girl… and no, I wasn’t overly athletic… but I held my own, and enjoyed the class so I took it second semester too….
3. 
I went to homecoming my senior year with one of the guys that I worked with on my Honors Independent Study… the dress was hideous… my hair was, ew… and I’m not sure what I was thinking…he wore a purple suit…if you’re local, you might recognize my date… he’s the weather man (one of them) here in town…
4. My first date was with Bobby… he was a geek like me but a good Catholic boy… his mother was my 8th grade teacher…Bobby really was one of those good guys… 
we went to my freshman dance together… my dad had a rule about how he had to have dinner with the guy before I was allowed to date him…we were supposed to go out to dinner at a nice place, but dad was running late (story of his life) so we ate at Burger King before the dance… 
Later on in the year, Bobby and I were both grounded but he called my dad and asked my dad if I could be off grounding for one night so that we could go to the dance… my dad was so impressed that Bobby called, that he let me! My mom made my dress with the help of a lady from Church and this time, we had a much better dinner prior to the dance… Bobby was the only guy that ever passed Dad’s seal of approval… and no, I don’t know where he is now… That was freshman year and I moved schools the next year… and we lost touch…
5. 
My junior prom date was… interesting. We were dating… had been for a few months… he didn’t go to my school… and he was a geek… but not like Bobby geek… he was a REAL geek… He picked me up and took me back to his house for pics and then off to dinner and prom… he didn’t dance and I LOVE to dance… so he sat there… I danced… he didn’t even slow dance… nada… and I couldn’t sit at the table all night… so in the middle of the Electric Slide he walked up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, and said that I had lots of friends and he was sure one of them would give me a ride home…and he left… looking back, I was probably harsh… and selfish… because it didn’t phase me that he left… i had a great time…regardless…
I’m so glad that I’ve grown up… but needless to say, we were over… I was supposed to go to his prom the following weekend, but that didn’t happen…
6. As a result of my junior prom, I opted not to go to my senior prom… a group of us went to see Forest Gump at the Grandin Theater and then on to the After Prom… and I had 10x more fun… even if my little brother was tagging along… 
7. 
I got glasses when I was 14…the last in the family to have to have them…I got red frames like Becca from Life Goes On… remember that show? Corky? Anyway, I loved Becca and I thought she was so pretty, so I had to have glasses just like her…I also looked like a blowfish blowing out my candles…
So there you have it… my teenage years defined highly by the boys in my life… I was boy crazy… I lived in a fantasy world… and that’s just the way it was.. I can tell you that I feel that I have aged fantabulously!!!
So, come on, play along… tell us about YOUR teenage years….
Leave me a comment with a link to your 7 things so that I can learn more about you…
Until next time…
