Here I am in my television debut. I was picked to be on the local Romper Room show with Miss June in May of 1980. You were supposed to be 5 to be on the show, but apparently I charmed them, and they let me on anyway. My mom has some old movies of this on Super 8 mm film, and she had it transfered to VHS. At one point, while skipping around the set, I fell right on my face. I get up – and keep going – like the star I am!

My 5th birthday. As you can tell from the silver crown, it’s always been an extravaganza. I believe this was my 2nd party for this birthday, judging from the pictures in the album. I had a “friend” party at McDonalds and this was my family party. (And my mother wonders WHY my birthday is a big deal? She started it!)

Here I am washing my mothers Maverick out in the driveway. I was 6 here.

This is Christmas 1982. What the hell did my mother put me in here? Who wears a hat with a nightgown?

Last one for now…this was my “boyfriend” Brandon Loomer. We hooked up again when we were in high school and went to the prom. He’s in and out of jail now. This was my birthday at the ice cream store my father owned.

Great pictures! I forgot all about romper room. LOL You look like Little Red Riding Hood in that red outfit. Too cute. :)

Duh! Laura Ingalls TOTALLY wore nightgowns with matching nightcaps – and I know you idolized her!! Also? I LOVE the old school Barbie, there. Brings back memories.

I personally liked the Pabst Blue Ribbon mug the best out of all the photos. Heh! Man, these pics are GREAT! Also, is that Mormor in the 1st pic? If it is – it looks NOTHING like her!

No, it’s the star of our local Romper Room – Miss June. My father was a huge PBR drinker. I was allowed to drink the foam off the top every time!

[...] May 1993 – prom with my boyfriend Brandon Loomer. Yep, he’s the same boy in the ice cream birthday party picture. I think I was telling him off here – I did that a lot. We got along like oil and water. [...]
