Starting with...

All righty then...considering the majority of you who MIGHT follow along on this journey are already related to me in one way or another, you probably think you know about all there is to know about me!! BUT...I may have a few things you don't know. For instance...






I once danced in a recital at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Note the blank stare of confusion on my face!!!



The only time I wasn't in the upper left hand corner of my class pictures (where they place the tallest person) was in the first grade. There was a boy the same height as me, who got that distinction.




My friend Cyndi and I wrote, and starred in, our own summertime productions for the neighborhood.





My mother made me take dance lessons with the boy next door the summer I was eleven.


I went to the roller rink every Saturday with the neighborhood kids...and was pretty good at it!!
I wrote a column for my junior high school paper.
I was in the first a capella choir in my junior high school.
I used to dive off the high board at the Encino swim club pool.
I once danced on the Lloyd Thaxton Dance Party...it was Southern California's answer to Dick Clark's American Bandstand in the sixties.
I was on the high school drill team.
I once tried out for cheerleder.
I worked as a dental assistant for 5 years after high school.
I used to water ski.
I loved to swim, sit on a surf board (poor balance), and sail on the ocean.
I started dating WAY too young.
I used to cut early morning seminary and go for donuts with my friend, Nancy.
I once drove with a boyfriend to Las Vegas for dinner and then back without my parents knowing it.
I got a ticket,in my teens, for going TOO SLOW on the freeway.
I could...and did...wear a bikini (Sorry for the visual). I know...you're all shocked...but I didn't always look like this!!



So...there you go...I decided to start at the beginning and work my way back. Next up...My parents! The really fun stuff comes a few generations back.
