Addendum/Serendipity
I was looking for a particular photo this morning and to my surprise, found this, the senior photo I mentioned in my last post, the photo that got away. I wanted this one in my year book, but my mother's choice of me smiling like my typical "good girl" self got in. But this, this is who I wanted to be at 17. She still looks a little mysterious and sexy to me, but she also looks challenging and as though she might not suffer fools, and I wonder now if that wasn't really what I was after all along.

Gorgeous. This girl looks like she wants to kick a--. I guess she did, but in the best possible way. ;)

My mom wouldn't let me wear shorts downtown. I remember that rule to this day. She wouldn't have let me wear that lovely halter top that your seventeen-year-old self is wearing in the photograph above. What a beautiful senior picture that is though! I also love your updated photo to the right. You're a talented writer and carry your beauty inside and out so well.
It's my mom's or sister's halter dress (can't remember now)! My mom had no such rules. That might not have been an entirely good thing, but at the time it felt like it was. :-)
Thanks for your very kind words . . .
