...Birthdays...

Well, I've been doing my 'year in the life...' thing the past few days and came upon some papers - most of my old school stuff growing up - so I decided to scan the stuff in and put it up here.  The other thing I came across was a bunch of other pictures.  I won't do my 'year in the life...' but I will do my 'spots of my life...'  Enjoy!

By the way, I'm such a nerd!  My mom kept so much and gave it to me - and most of it is academic stuff...  but feel free to indulge in my nerd-ness!

01cover.jpg (117768 bytes) Here's the cover to the booklet that has all of my paperwork for grades and tests from school growing up.  I scanned in the pages for the grades that have pictures and documents.  I love the cover - do you think the kid in the middle is 'OH'-ing because of the blonde girl who needs help getting dressed in the morning?
Here's the inside of the booklet - it shows just how much of an overachiever I am...  actually, I guess I was reasonably on time with everything, but I like to think I'm special *smile* 02coverinside.jpg (87884 bytes)
03kindergartencover.jpg (101761 bytes) Cover of my Kindergarten report card - so nice, pristine - and, well, opening the way to the road to nerd *smile*
She was a sweet teacher.  She threw stuff.  She had anger issues.  Ask me about the time I tried to be helpful and get myself ready for school - then walked to school...  and it was Sunday morning! 04kindergartedfrontpage.jpg (72727 bytes)
