Can Babies Graduate?

Jodee, my baby sister, just graduated. Not from Kindergarten, but from High School. She's supposed to be ten years old running around getting me anything I wanted because I told her I would time her to see how fast she can do it. I'm sad to say that it is hard for me to treat her like a 18 year old. Let's face it, she's more of a woman than I am. She owned high heels before I did. I work with a girl who just turned 19 and I picture her being much older than Jodee. I am working hard at treating her like a 18 year old, and promise only to time her every once in a while.

Here she is doing the "Toyota Jump."

As you all remember that is how it felt

to Graduate from High School!

High Heels and Red Dresses

Only a month and a half since my last entry...I'm getting better!

So I have ventured into an unknown world...the world of high heels. I bought my first pair of high heels in March and it only took me a month to wear them. I had my high heel debut on April 13, in Texas (I thought trying them where people don't know me would be best since I would most likely never see them again, so if I were to fall it wouldn't matter). I have to say that I did pretty good. I only had a few stumbles. Stairs are a different story, I don't know how many times I've lost my balance, but I just know one day I'm not going to make it. Walking on grass in heels, whoa, I feel like I'm sinking. It's pretty weird, but I guess most girls of the world already know this. After trying out the first pair of heels I decided having two pair wouldn't make me to "girly." So I did, I went and bought another pair (black heels don't go with everything, you've got to have brown too).

If having two pair of heels doesn't make me look to "girly" the dress I bought might. Now I've worn dresses most of my life, but in the past 8 or 9 years skirts have been the attire of choice. So now not only am I wearing heels but I am wearing dresses again. This isn't just any dress either...it's RED. I own and wear a red dress. It is very weird. I feel like it is to short...it shows my knees. I know heaven forbid that my knees show, but I am short and all the skirts I have are longer so when I put this dress on I feel like I am revealing myself to the world. I'm getting used to it and the fact that my legs look fantastic in the heels and the "short red dress" doesn't hurt.

So as my mom said "Thank your roommate for me." I know that many of my fantastic roommates have tried to get me into heels but have not succeeded. My stubborn side came out and the more they tried the more stubborn I became. I do things when I want to do them...it's hard for me to be "girly." You know I would rather be lounging in my comfy pants and a t-shirt. So thanks to Stephanie for helping pick out the heels that make my legs look Amazing!
