UPDATE: Wanna see some much better pictures?! Allison and Steve’s wonderful, talented photographer, Nicole Coleman, has posted some of her pictures on her photography blog or you can view a tearjerking slideshow here. Nicole is a former high school buddy who has been a photographer since she exited the womb. Her father even took my senior class photos (which I will post someday to show why I will never again cut my hair short, I shudder just thinking about it). Her photos literally turn me green with envy. And she also craved KFC mashed potatoes while pregnant, so she’s officially the coolest.

I haven’t really talked that much about my mother on this site because, to put it bluntly, we’ve had a rocky relationship. Now that I’m a mother, I tend to look at her flaws as my owns flaws. I’m more understanding that though she may have made some horrible decisions in parenting me and my brothers and sister (and sometimes still does), she was (is) doing the absolute best she can. And she really does love us more than most anything. Really. And that realization has brought us so much closer.
Today I took my mom to Costco, haven for bulk shoppers everywhere. She made the comment that she was talked into purchasing Platinum Cosco card, which only gives her savings if she buys giant flat screen TVs or other electronics, which she will never purchase because, really, she doesn’t need my father watching ESPN on a flat screen, giant TV…she’d never see him again! I cooly mentioned I would take the burden off of her by purchasing a 80GB video iPod in order to meet her electronic quota for the year.
And she freaking bought it for me. For no damn reason!
I really do forgive that summer grounding for borrowing her shampoo now. Yipee!
While in Manhattan this weekend for Trent’s sister’s wedding, I stopped by my parents house and decided to finally take some of my old crap off of their hands. I came home with a trunk full of old yearbooks and other random memorabilia from my angst-filled teenage years. I was looking through my yearbook from senior year and thought I’d share some of the thoughts of the Class of 2000:
Small sidenote, I graduated from high school a year early, so most of my friends were staying behind for another year*
“I hate you, good luck” – Chris M.
“I don’t know you too well, but you seem pretty dam cool to me from what I know.” – Jennifer W.
“I’ll never forget the week we spent in Fiji, sleeping under the stars, dancing under the moonlight. Your supple…feet, your sensuous…knees, your big milky…khaki pants. Good luck, you’re OK (for a blond).” – Will Z.
“It’s always fun arguing with you. You’re hot too.” – Adam A.
“Sux to miss the senior year. I guess you want to though. Have fun and don’t flunk out of college too fast. Always remember the SWEET GREEN SHEEBA.” – Josh H.
“Sorry for erasing all of your typing in Furguson’s class in 10th grade.” – Michael W.
“Meghan – Wassup, man?! You and me dude, we are so there in Lawrence next year. 4-20 RULES!” – Inger L.
“Here’s a coupon for ya, gain a little weight [Little Ceasar’s coupon attached]” – Kym
“I know it will be difficult not having a Gabe Holcombe at your school next year, but be sure to track down my illegitimate brother Dave Holbumbe at KU (he’s almost as cool as I am). Also, be sure to write ‘Gabe wuz here’ all over Lawrence despite the fact that your name is Megan Spooner, not Gabe. P.S. GABE WUZ HERE.” – Gabe H.
“Have fun not being in high school next year (you stupid butt monkey) and be sure to lip synch to “Wannabe” [by the Spice Girls] at least once a year.” – Rebecca A.
Now you can obviously see how super-cool I was in high school. I mean, ‘remember the sweet green sheeba’? ‘4-20 Rules’? You’d think I was the school pothead. Too bad I was mostly just innocent and people thought leaving quotes like that would make me run to the principal and tattle.
See, super-cool. Obviously.
