Retroblogging: Silly Self Portraits, Age unknown

Sitting in the Rain

Self Portrait
Age Unknown, 5-7?

I've finally started tackling another bucket full of papers, drawings, and documents that my mother had saved from my childhood. While I've purged about two-thirds of it, there are many priceless gems that will be making their way here, including new letters from the Grandmas, self portraits like these, and lots more retroblogging.

There are also some "interesting" discoveries, like more dance class pictures (omh, me in tap shoes at 6 and a tiny tutu!), me trussed up like a goose in 6th grade by the ambulance guys, my mother's maternal ramblings about me when I was only weeks old, and .... um.... "locks" of my hair, like 34-35 year-old 6-8 inch hanks of my hair.

Thanks Mom for saving so much of my childhood, but the hair? Really?

Um... what do I do with it now?

(After much thought and discussion, I will bury it another pile of my crap for another 34 years or so. Procrastinate much? Who me?)
