this week's edition of funny pictures of Anne is odd to say the least. I am so ready to show this picture of me to ANYONE but then again....

what is up with my hair??!! what exactly am I going for here? is it a ponytail or what?

but I like this picture so much because this is the last summer I was skinny and the first one I was carefree. odd isn't. that right before a big change little things change in a way that will never be the same again.

for instance in this picture. this is the ONLY pair of shorts I EVER wore this short. and this is the only shirt I ever wore that showed that much - it was a belly shirt. I just wasn't that kinda girl, still ain't. But this summer I broke free just for a few months and said to hell with it! I'm gonna wear what everyone else is wearing. and I did.

till about 4 months later when I found out I was pregnant with #2.
then it was all over.

oh and do you see how tan I was? that is the tannest (is that a word?) I've been EVER!

**EDITED TO ADD** - this is my friend Kim's baby. He was such a cute chubby baby! Now he's close to 6' tall and very slim -- GAH! How time flies....

this week's edition of funny pictures of Anne is me being teaching the kids how to do one of those fruit roll-up tongue tattoos -- ended up me looking goofy & the kids in awe of their talented mother LOL!

this is me & my tongue tattoo. taken: August 2008

I was attempting to release some of the tension we all felt because at the time we was invaded by a bat & it was the 3rd one in a short amount of time. And I know that bats are all over but we'd never had these things in our homes in IL. We just are NOT equipped with the patience to deal with these buggers!

Here's some pictures -




he's hanging out like that because as he was flying around trying to get back out he flew into one of our hanging fly papers and got all sticky. It's a non-toxic kind of thing so we wasn't worried about him being poisoned. We ended up putting him into a box and took him to a local park to get better & find a new home.

oh boy, here's a weird one! this picture was taken by a good friend of mine Sally. we was always messing with a camera trying to get JUST THE RIGHT PICTURE and since this is back when you had to wait till it was developed, you'd never know if you got it or not.

this is definitely one of those that needed to be thrown LOL!

taken: 1993-94, Sally's front yard Manchester

(GOD what was I thinking!!!)

do you see that hair???!!! what an art =)

I'm gonna try to start a regular Thursday post for the the sincerely 'fro me to you carnival. Let's see how many bad pictures of me I can get up here LOL!

This picture was taken by Darkside back when we were just friends & he was dating a good friend of mine, Misty, who is also in this picture. Don't ask me what we planned to accomplish with this picture other than hey look at us?

I was about 4/5 months pregnant with kid #2 here. Date: January 1996

you'll find that in most pictures I look one of three ways (if it's not a good picture) -- stoned, pissed, or GOD what was I thinking???!!!

this is definitely a stoned picture, and no I wasn't!!

just gotta laugh....nothing else to do....
