but it wasn't helpful when the chiropractor pointed out my odd posture. "Put your shoulders back. Now pull your chin in a little. Why don't you try putting your hips forward a bit." When he was finished I looked a deranged disco dancer. "It's alright. Your posture is fine," he said as we moved onto the reason I'd come in in the first place.
Isn't it funny how a person can receive a hundred amazing compliments in a day and yet the only thing they remember when they lie down at night is the one negative someone said in passing? I found this to be especially true in my youth.
I caught wind at school that there was talk of me being "stuck-up." Whether it was one person's opinion or the entire student body's view it mattered not to me seeing as how it's one and the same to a teenager. I remember making a conscious decision that day to roll my shoulders forward and stoop ever so slightly. A physical sign to my classmates that I didn't hold myself above anyone.
What strange habits we carry into adulthood.
Shoulders back and chin up,

I have got THEE biggest smile on my face. I looooove this picture, and please tell me it's you. The reason I am even questioning is that your beautiful straight, silky hair could not possibly hold curl like that, could it? Love, love. Post more. Post more.-Gina
You bet it's me! That hair took a LOT of hard work Gina. And don't you just love the pokey shoulders . . .
...and I'm loving Brandon's matching tie and cumberbun. Classic 80s.
Annabelle wondered "Is Jodi wearing a wig?"
