Since I picked the winner of the Super Bowl (and point spread too!), I thought I'd share some photos of ME from back in the day. Actually, Isaac stumbled over these in my senior yearbook the last time he was home. Yes, I was an all-conference running back and sprinter in high school. Of course, there were fewer than 200 people in all four grades so it wasn't that big of a deal. More of an accomplishment was that me-lady was the editor of this yearbook (and no doubt how I got these three pics in it). :)I actually wasn't all that good of an athlete. I was just fast (mostly running scared). I really didn't like competing in sports, but my dad was the high school principal and athletic director, so I basically had to. I just never had a lot of drive and never quite developed that competitive spirit. In all honesty, when it was over it was like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. But I suppose there are some fond memories somewhere in the recesses of my brain.

I remember these pics well - as well as remembering picking them out! You left my favorite one out - sitting on the port-a-pit thing. I think the big smile on your face in that one was because I tripped walking across the gym floor! :)
Jane was like: "I'm going to use this super-blurry picture of number 9."
Staff Member: "That could be Ceasar's Ghost for all we know, why do you want to use THAT picture?"
Jane: "oh... no reason. And put in some more pictures of me. Here, I've clipped the crown off the prom queen and taped it to my head, put THAT in there... I should have won anyway..."
Jah,
I don't know if I was smiling because you tripped... or because I was simply watching you walk across the gym floor. :) (Carrie & Isaac are excused to go throw up now).
MR,
No... she did an excellent job. And the blurriness is due to our ancient scanner. Which took a crap while scanning these pictures btw. You don't need it for chainsaw parts do you?
You scanned a picture of yourself and broke the scanner? That's a bummer. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.
I figured something had happened in the handling--you look like you're being beamed up in that one picture.
I think I've already got a broken scanner around here. Or maybe it just sucks so bad by today's standard I consider it broken. The one I got last year runs on USB power only, yields great quality pics and has surprisingly useful software for only $80. And a brand name, too: Canon.
The yearbook staff at our school really DID try to make themselves look cool. The first page of my senior yearbook has a full page of the yearbook girls all doing something they deemed "cool" and the caption is "More CRAZY antics from (Heather), (Heather) and (Heather)..."
Well dad, in comparison to the breaking the bed story that one seems pretty innocent. haha. just kidding...
MR,
Yeah, not only broke the scanner with pics of me, but seriously cut down on visitors to my blog too. :(
Carrie,
Hey now... beds can break for lots of reasons. :)
