Remember the map you made of your childhood classroom? Let’s skip ahead to your teenage years. Can you remember what your bedroom looked like? What did you have hanging on the walls? What kind of bedding did you have? Maybe you had shag carpeting or cold hardwood floors. Did you share a room with a sibling?
I promised a few of you I’d do this….just now getting around to it! I have to give all credit to my friend Tara Lorraine because she is the queen of makeup and hair. She shows me what to do regarding either and I just copy her step by step. Now that my hair is getting longer and growing out after cancer I’ve been keeping the sides short and the top longer. That means getting it trimmed on the sides almost every 2 or 3 weeks. I’m thinking about keeping it short for a while because, well,…..I’m on TIME for EVERYTHING now! It only takes me about 5 minutes to get ready.
Here are the products I’m using….you can get them at almost any drugstore:
1. Got 2B Spiking Glue (if you live near a Fresh and Easy….they have a great generic)
2. Got 2B Powder (there are a few different kinds…..I think they’ll all work)
3. Molding Wax (really any kind of hair wax)
Sometimes just one word can cause our mind to venture way back into it’s archives and bring out a memory or a feeling from the past. As you read each of the words in today’s prompt, what comes to mind? For example if I read or hear the word Mustang….you might think of a car, or a horse or a football team……the word association you have is unique to your memories and experience:
Mustang:
Dad used to take me to Joe’s Mustang to buy crickets for fishing. The gas station had a huge rust colored horse that looked as if it were rearing up and out of the sign. I looked forward to the can of Country Time Lemonade Dad would buy me as a special treat. I remember the smell of gasoline and motor oil mixed with the pungent smell of catfish bait.
