My Afflation

I found this gem while trying to clean up photos. Before it was uncool to be in a photo with Mom

On the Mark Twain, back when my son was shorter than me and I was skinny.

Soon after this I got to stop wearing pink ... 6th birthday in Tampico, Mexico. L-R: me, my paternal grandmother, my brother

There aren't many baby pictures of me left in existence due to various family tragedies, but I found this one while cleaning this past weekend. That's me on (probably) my uncle's car in front of my grandmother's house in West L.A.  October 1977

There's a reason why I pay other people to do my hair. When you forget what day your senior photo is on and then have to do it yourself... 1994 This is the result. Pin It

Read more about my  Grand Junction roadtrip  and see the full slideshow (just realized most of the photos were taken with my T-Mobile Dash!) I can't believe it's been seven years since I decided I wanted to camp in Zion. We passed right by it on this trip and I realized Utah was only a day away. Pin It

I couldn't find one of myself that I liked, but I did find this one of my daughter and nephew that is just adorable. I'm not sure if they would feel the same way about each other today. Pin It

Taken on an epic road trip with Jes back in 2007 . I'm not sure which one of us was holding the camera to be honest... Pin It

20 years ago this week I gave birth to this kid here: At 13 he was already a charmer and looker And he finishes finals today, sophomore year in college. Damn, how the time flies Pin It

Goofing off with my son while a friend tests his new digital camera. Circa 1997 Pin It

Man, I miss that dress and Lynda. One of the best Girl's Night Out ever. circa 1998   Pin It

circa 1998 This #tbt is dedicated to the person who took this photo of me. No HDD failure to corrupt this one. Though I wish I could still fit into those overalls... Pin It

My dad wouldn't let me participate in regular sports, but I could be the ultimate nerd, no problem (just imagine what that did to my psyche...). Ask me how I feel about The Red Pony or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . I dare you . I was on the Markham team two years in a row and we did pretty well in the Super Quiz , mainly because we had some of the best coaches ever . Disclaimer: These photos were posted on the book of Face from a teammate. Pin It

Sometime in college. I think during my IRC days. I had invited a few people over for dinner and one of them snapped this. I don't cook in heels any  more :D Pin It

This is Tasha. Other than Six, she was the best cat I ever had. She was also the strangest. She would sit on the edge of the tub while I showered. She would wait on the porch for me to come home, and come running out to greet when she heard my keys. She trained herself better than any dog and was a constant companion. Damn coyotes. Pin It

I really miss that  +UC San Diego  jacket .... Pin It

This was the hike I went on that really got me into more D-SLR photography rather than PnS. I can't believe it was nearly a decade ago. Pin It

No, I don't have a lot of photos from when I was a kid. They burned in fire. What I do have are good memories with Oakley . Pin It
