I'm A Barbie Girl

June passed way more quickly than I thought, so I need to light a fire under me if I want to finish the picture project in the next few days! Here's the end of 1997 and beginning of 1998:


Halloween '97. I was a witch, in a costume my mom made me.


Playing the piano in our elementary school talent show! I look so little.


1997 Christmas card. I wonder how my parents bribed Luke to put his arm around me and half smile.


Horrible picture quality, but I got a book about the Titanic for Christmas. So exciting.


Luke, this picture is payback for the turtle incident.


Getting my hair braided in Punta Cana. Cute face.


Doing a dance to "Barbie Girl" by Aqua at the Club Med in Punta Cana. Is it weird that I still remember the choreography to this? Seriously, I do.


Doing the splits with my cousin Eric, who's now like 15. Crazy!


My 8th birthday party was smiley themed. I even wore a yellow and black outfit. That's embarrassing.


Hunting for Easter eggs with Luke! Like my shoes? I remember thinking the platform was soooo cool.


This was the last picture ever taken with my dad's SLR. Because approximately two minutes later, I stepped on it. RIP.


Luke broke his collarbone and got breakfast in bed. And then my mom made him pose with it. Evil.

For breakfast this morning, I actually made a smoothie!


Into the blender went:
  • 1 banana
  • .5 cup almond milk
  • 1 scoop chocolate Sun Warrior
  • 1 spoonful Hershey's special dark cocoa powder
  • large spoonful crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 scoop chocolate Amazing Grass
  • squirt of agave
  • lots of ice
I didn't use a lot of milk so the smoothie would come out really thick and creamy. Success.


Time to face the day. Have a good one!

Most embarrassing outfit you ever thought was cool? I had bell bottoms embroidered with the words "Bubble Girl" on the bottom. Yeah, I don't even know.
