It's 10pm on Friday night night Ryan is sleeping. He has to wake up soon to go to work. He's on the crazy shift this week. 11pm-7am. It good...because it's only 8 hour shifts...but it's bad because it seems like every time he is awake I am asleep and every time he is asleep I am awake.
I think I need a hobby.
I tried knitting once in college. My friends and I made some blankets, but mine turned out in the shape of a tornado because SOMEBODY didn't tell me about the "count your stitches" part. Luckily the small end fits perfectly over my feet.
I used to be more crafty - in Jr. High my friend Becky and I would spend hours and hours each week making earrings out of Friendly Plastic that we boiled and shaped.
I definitely thought I was too cool for crafts when I entered 9th grade.
Looking back now it is blatantly obvious that I was very far from being anything close to cool.
Did anyone else have only their bangs permed?
Woah.

To admit or not to admit...to having JUST my bangs permed. I too fell into that fashion hole.
I SO LOVED FRIENDLY PLASTIC! I haven't thought of it in years, but my friends and I loved it too. There's something to be said for growing up in the 80s! Hope you're doing great!
Jeanna! I am so glad to know I wasn't the only one!
FRIENDLY PLASTIC!! I can't believe you remember what it's called - I LOVED that stuff. There was a store on Plainfield that used to sell ONLY friendly plastic - I raided that store a few times with my mom. I bet I still have some of my way rad earing sets.
I also had the permed bangs...it was a BAD look. My friends called me poodle head. Not good for a fourth grader's self esteem. Also, I think that when we have kids, we definitely need to bring back the Friendly Plastic. I love you, Amber!
i love that picture more than you will ever know!! i love you!
your permed bangs were way better than my 'barrel roll' bangs that i wrapped around a tiny curling iron and sprayed them until they wouldn't move. oh heavens.
I remember Friendly Plastic! I most liked making earrings and pins... like some kind of crazy arrangement of narrow strips, triangles, and squares, glue a pin to the back and wear it on your shirt. Oh the early 90's!.... and yes my bangs were permed. and i had hammer pants.
The picture of you and the (cute) permed bangs, and Becky and the crafts, and Katies hairsprayed bangs is yesterday to me. I treasure those memories as one of the best times in my life!

1 - I totally had permed bangs only. They took over half of the top of my head. I looked as if there were a poodle hunched on my forehead.
2 - I made earrings and necklace pendants with Friendly Plastics. My mom still has some of our creations. Two-ish years ago, I had to convince her that they weren't cool anymore.
