Laura Laura became Lolly-gagger when Laura, Mike and kids were over at our house having a jolly good time and she threw up on our air conditioning unit outside.

I had a HUGE crush on a boy named Patrick Shephard.  He had blonde hair, blue eyes and the cutest freckled face.  I used to chase him around the playground everyday.

One day, he said. "I know you like me.  If you want to kiss me, meet me in the teacher's lounge after school." 

Well, I met him in the teacher's lounge and we kissed.  It was just a peck and it was very awkard.  Neither of us said a word, and after we kissed, we went on our way.

I don't remember whether or not I continued to chase him around the playground.  Maybe I realized that it wasn't worth it afterall... ha!

I have attached a class picture...  Patrick is top/center.  He's wearing a turqious shirt and he's right next to the teacher.  I'm on the bottom left.  I'm wearing a red and white dress w/ a ruffled collar.

Back in the day, Garbage Pail Kids (GPKs) were the hottest thing. I remember that they were banned from school and I can't remember why. I don't know if it was because they were such a big distraction or if it was because they were so gross. Well, one day in the midst of they hype, my Dad came home with a whole box of 5th series GPKs! Kevin and I were so geeked. I think we got the whole set from that box. Sometimes Dad would come home with the coolest of surprises.
