Throwback Thursday: Top Gun

Here is one of my favorite pictures. This was way back in 1989 (age 3) when the Air Force Base was a few towns over and they had an air show going on. I'm told that my dad was given a little bit of crap for bring a kid in a Navy jacket to an Air Force Air Show. But here I am rockin' my Navy jacket in an Air Force plane givin a thumbs up. I'm one cool kid.

Throw Back Thursday: Halloween is Coming

Tomorrow night I will be freezing my bottom off at the annual Screaming Pumpkin 10k... through a cemetery! Spooooooooky! Here's a throw back of a.drama and I with mom, we were cats, very adorable cats. I think this is one of my all time favorite pictures and I can't even explain why. It just is. Do you have a spooky costume picked out or plans for a haunted house?

Throw Back Thursday: HD Represent

Look at me rockin the Harley Davidson gear even as tot. I guess I really was born to ride ;) 

Throw Back Thursday: Woolrich

Here is a throw back picture to 2008. A.Drama and I took a bus trip to New York City, which ended up being a bus load of old folks... no really. They loved us! But they were totally excited about the stop in Pennsylvania to the original Woolrich store. A.drama and I did not understand the excitement but old people be cray about Woorich. 

It's funny that we had never really heard of Woolrich or seen another Woolrich store, but now we've seen them several different times in different places we've been.

In fact here is A.Drama in Mackinaw City, MI last year in front of the Woolrich store.

Happy Thursday! 

Throw Back Thursday: Homecoming

It's that time of year here in small town... it's Homecoming week. Tonight under cover of darkness students will sneak onto unsuspecting teachers and strangers' yards to throw toliet paper up in their trees. I did watch the parade and got candy thrown at me, there were tootsie rolls so I was ok with the candy projectiles.

Here is a throw back to my 2000 Freshman Homecoming dance with me and my date. I loved this dress color, I remember I was so excited when I found a fingernail polish that matched perfectly. Gma made this and my matching purse. It comes in very handy to have a Gma who can sew, she made several formal dresses for me and saved us a boat load of cash! Hard to believe this picture was 13 years ago! Holy moly.

Happy Thursday! You're almost to the weekend! 

Throw Back Thursday: New Phone

Since I'm going to attempt to get the new iPhone that comes out tomorrow, here is a throwback to me on my kitchen phone. Enjoy! 

Throw Back Thursday: Kiddie Parade

Today's throw back Thursday photo is in honor of the Page Turner aka The Candy Lady having a Coco's Sweet Shop Kiddie Parade in her town! Here I am as a youngin in my very own Kiddie parade. Look at those basa$$ balloons and streamers and that thing, and those training wheels just scream come at me bro, Ill cut you. And you'll notice we were being followed by some mutant ninja turtles.... classic early 90's!

Throw Back Thursday: Biltmore

Here is a throw back picture to 2009. Gma and I went on Spring Break to Myrtle Beach with pit stops in Asheville, NC to check out Biltmore Estate and a detour in Charleston, SC. We had a great time, the weather was a bit dreary here in this picture when we visited Biltmore Estate and it was a little early in the season for the gardens to be in bloom, but the mountain views were still breath taking.

and because I love ya, here is a bonus Throw Back picture from the trip. This was gma's first time at the ocean and I absolutely love this picture and I'm glad I got to capture the moment.

Don't fret followers, you have made it to almost Friday, you can do it! 

Throwback Thursday

I had the day off today, mostly because I didn't want to go to work, is that bad? Today was great! I slept in, watched movies, cleaned the bugs that had fallen into my pool, it was great! Mostly because I wasn't at work, that makes any day great!! 

Enjoy today's throwback Thursday photo of me opening presents on one of my birthday's presumably. Almost every picture I find of me in my youth I was rocking some adorable bangs, I think they might need to make a comeback don't you? 

Throw Back Thursday: Back to School

In honor of back to school week here's a few throwback school pictures for ya... can you find a mini-Heather in these pictures? 

Preschool 

Kindergarten

2nd Grade

5th Grade

Back to school shopping used to be my favorite. I loved picking out new pens and folders, and a new five star single subject, college ruled one subject notebook with the perforated tear lines and the folder inside that was actually big enough to store your papers. Ah memories.... I was a weird kid, I loved office supplies and I still kinda do, post-it's are my favorite. (and not the cheap knock-off brand, they just don't stick like a real post it)

Now back to school time means 2 things. 1- college kids are back in town. Yuck. and 2- It's safe to go outside to any public space and not have screaming annoying children running around.

Mostly though it just means that the summer is ending and will be fading into fall soon (though you couldn't tell from the outside temps, 90's NO THANK YOU) It makes me miss summer vacations and how long the summers used to seem. Now they are over in the blink of an eye or thanks to a real grown up job, Summer just means air conditioning season. They need to give grown ups Summer vacations, I bet people would be a lot happier! 

Happy Thursday, you've almost made it to the weekend again. Good job you! 

Throwback Thursday: Is It Fall?

Today was a loooong day. But you know what makes it awesome? The weather has been amazeballs! Very reminiscent of Fall and of course Fall is my favorite season! I absolutely love being able to sleep with my windows open, and that's just enough to make this crappy day end on a high note. So here is a throwback to Fall time and obviously Halloween. Appears I was a clown with smeared lipstick. So adorbs.

Throwback Thursday: Plie

Yay! It's everyone's favorite day of the week, Throwback Thursday!! 

Today's picture is circa '91/'92 the day of A.Drama and I's ballet recital. I chose this picture today because while at the gym a couple of our exercises involve a plie stance. Those include a plie squat and a plie lunge. The lunge plie is my favorite of the two, why? Not sure. But I like to pretend that I'm really good at them and point my toes each step, because I used to be a ballerina. Bahahahah, right, I don't think it counts if you didn't ever get to the Pointe shoe level, and we all know that is what really makes a ballerina. And let's just say... if I was a ballerina, Daaaaamn I've really let myself go.

Tomorrow is Friday! Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: Cake?

I find this picture to be a fitting throwback Thursday photo, you'll notice the cake free plate. I miss cake, but sadly it's not on the Fat to Fit diet. Maybe if I look adorable and wait patiently some cake will appear.

Happy Thursday!

I'm a Cool Dude

Today at work we had system issues for pretty much the whole day which makes for a really really long day. We actually missed being able to work. It's kind of hard to keep yourself entertained while still trying to be Re3markable. I'm glad the day finally ended though, tomorrow could be interesting with all the work we didn't get to do today, but at least it will be FRIDAY!

This should be a fairly busy weekend, tomorrow night we are hitting up the fair for the lawnmower demolition derby and to a tailgate party with the Feudin Hillbilly's and Saturday A.drama and I are going to venture up to Page Turner's town for the grand opening of her candy shop!

Throwback Thursday: Americana Style

Here's a little throw back Thursday Americana for ya in honor of Independence Day! I hope everyone had a lovely day and gets to enjoy some lovely fireworks this evening! Happy 4th! 

It's the Humidity That'll Get Ya!

Here is a short post for today...

I took the day off, not for fun, but to help a brotha out. NiBo is switching roommates and moved from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor of the building next door to his current apartment he's off on Thursdays from work, hence the weekday move. So, drama, mom and I ventured down to the big city to help clean and move. Lucky fasha (dad) had a work excuse not to assist with this move. A few things I observed from today 1- Moving sucks 2- moving sucks even more in the heat! 

Of course all the sunshine was wasted during the morning move and by time we got back the clouds had settled in, but in some good news the 2nd annual mini pool paradise is up and running!! Here's a sneak peek...

Later this evening I was digging through the archives to find a good new picture for throw back Thursday, man was that some fun. Mom, drama and I all had more than a few laughs looking back through old pictures. There was a picture of dad wearing some short shorts back in the day, but he said that wasn't allowed, "No dad on throw back Thursday on the blog" well boo hiss, what a spoil sport. I still managed to get him in the picture though, he didn't say anything about family pictures ;) 

Keeping with the summer theme, here is our lovely family at the company's Play Day event, this is the good part of the family before it was spoiled with drama and NiBo.. just kidding... but really.. haha I kid, I kid.

This is one of my favorite pictures of just the three of us, I don't know if it's the fake beach background, the cooler of soda, or the fake lobster, but it just makes me smile. (and dad's kinda rockin some short shorts here) Mom's hair and dad's sideburns, I mean do the 80's get any better than this? 

A Throwback Thursday Pic

Here is a lovely throwback picture of A.Drama and I in honor of tomorrow being the first official day of Summer, wow that came fast! After some quick research and a good eye by A.Drama we came to the conclusion that we are holding blow up Figaro cat toys from McDonalds circa early 90's? Since this pool had a built in slide we used to pretend we were Ariel in The Little Mermaid and recreate the rock scene where she splashes the water up, anyway we were pretty awesome at it.
