~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Picture of myself taggy thing.

Here are the rules: Take a picture of yourself right now.No primping or preparing. Just snap a picture.Load the picture onto your blog. Tag some people to play.

Here I am, less than 2 min ago:

Wait - that's not me, is it? Hmmm...maybe this one:
Oh, yep! That's me! I've been up working all morning and I'm still in my jammies. You dind't say which SIDE of me I had to take a picture of. *cough cough*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Prom Picture Tag...

So, I didn't go to any of my proms. By the time I was at the end of my Junior year, I was dating guys that were older than me and not interested in HS dances. Specifically, I was engaged to one my Senior year and we didn't go to ANY school activities. Hell, I barely went to SCHOOL. *ahem* Anywho. But, I do have a couple pictures of other dances...no dates in them, though.

The Official Rules:
Leave me a comment guessing which Year the photos were taken. I will post the correct year in a few days after a few guesses come in...how fun!

If I TAG you...DIG up your old Prom picture...post it and lets guess the date too...(if you really are that self-conscience and don't want us to know the date...maybe we can guess the decade?)
If you are married to your Prom date let us know! If you are not...try to post a Prom picture of your Prom & a second picture of your husbands prom too...let us know where each of your Dates are now...and their relationship status!! (and of course YOU are way cuter than his Prom date!) If you are Single...let us know where your Prom date is now!

I am gonna TAG some people...and then those taggers need to keep it going by tagging 5 other people! I can't wait to see all of your pictures! Fun huh!?

OK, so, as I mentioned..I never went to any of the Proms - Jr or Senior. I went to a few other dances and these are the only two pictures I have on my computer. There's no date in either of the pictures, but I did go to both dances with the same guy. Dave. No idea where he is right now. He was older than me by 3 years. The last time I saw him was the year after I graduated. We ran into each other at some random party and ended up going back to his place with a bunch of friends and partying all night. At least, I *think* that's what happened. The memory is a little fuzzy. *cough cough*

Oh yeah. I was a hottie.
Rob didn't go to ANY dances so I have no pictures of him. Poor you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, look...I'm supposed to tag like 20 people total for all of these. TWENTY people. That's a lot.
So, I'm just going down my blog reader and the most recently updated blogs are getting hit.
I'm not specifying which tag...I tag you for ALL of them. Then if you've done one you can just skip that specific one.
Dying to know if it's you, aren't ya?
A Moxie Mom at A Moxie Mom
purplemoose at Purple Moose Tracks
Mama SeWELL at What a SeWELL Day
Lisa at One-Hip-Mom
If I didn't tag you by some strange miracle, feel free to play along anyway. Or, just wait because with all of those people tagged it's highly likely YOU will be too in the near future.
And now, I have no more play time because I have to get the boys in bed so I can start my next shift and get the house cleaned and grocery list finished. Sometime today I hope to find the shower, too.

I'm refusing to post a pix of here and now..I'm doing the "big unvieling" soon.

Have to say that prom hair and look rocked..that was when you thought you were all that right? the look says it all! lol

amanda said...

how fun. i should find an old prom picture and post it. i know i have them someplace. thanks for not tagging me. :0) then i have time to look for them and be prepared WHEN someone else does...i'm not good at dates. i'll guess....1988 for the first one and 90 for the second.

momof3darlings said...

Wow...those are SOME pics! LOL

I am so bummed I can't do the Iron Chef this month! Stupid broken crockpot....

Elaine at Matters of the Heart) said...

Oh that was fun.. I love hearing more about blogging friends.. Loved the dance photos. Hottie is right. Not sure I could find any of those. Thanks for the tag. Loved your take on the "take a picture"

-stephanie- said...

My guesses would be 1990 for the first picture and 1993 for the 2nd one. You're right, you are a hottie. Dave doesn't know what he's missing. Whatever possessed designers to make dresses with the huge shoulders? Love that Dallas, Knots Landing look. Not. Glad that era is over.

Mimi said...

OMG, somehow I managed to set the pic of you in the blue dress as my background pic!!! It's totally bizarre. Lovin' the 80's look.

He And Me + 3 said...

That was such a fun post. Ccute picture of B tooo!

Jilann said...

Phew! That's a lot of info. Have fun with your folks this weekend!! And, great pics!! What a babe you are! :)

Eyeglasses & Endzones said...

Oh the prom pictures...we should all make a pact that we do not have to share those things...right? I mean don't get me wrong you look amazing...and that was in style then but the shoulders...we all looked sort of like Star Trek!!!! =) Great Post. Loved all the learning about what makes you SACRED & PROFANE!

Miller Racing Family said...

Thank you so much for playing! I love the photos. I really got a kick out of the picture of you not primping, that cracked me up. Only you would think of something like that. I am going to say your dance pictures were 1992.
Hope you have a great day!

Heidi @ Blue Eyed Blessings said...

I just thought you were ignoring me! ;) Thanks for being a good sport and playing along! I suppose next time I should be a little more specific...you always seem to find the loophole!

Love the dance pics...are they 1990?

Cathy {Mommy Needs Motivation} said...

Susie said...
