Before...

Here we are. Nerdy as they come. Braces, glasses, retainers, frizzy hair, giggling about boys, dreaming about cars, wishing life would go faster....

After...

After three drivers licenses, two sets of contacts, three high school diplomas, two weddings, one straightening iron...we arrived at adulthood. Still friends. Still together. Still giggling about boys.

Show us something worn with love.

What's your favorite kind of Girl Scout cookie?
Submitted by My Lovely One.

I am always torn between Thin Mints and Carmel deLites. On one hand, you have sweet, minty, chocolate cookies that are out of this world when frozen. On the other, a mixture of soft Carmel, toasty coconut, and chocolately goodness that makes me drool. I really can't decide.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go mug some girl scouts.

What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your appearance?
Submitted by Laurie.

Drastic changes? Anyone who knows me --even a little bit-- knows that I do not make drastic changes. I sweated for WEEKS about taking two inches off my hair. I've been debating getting a second ear piercing for three years now.

I don't make drastic changes. I prefer to review the forms in triplicate first.

I've reached new and dizzying heights of blondness today. While making a shake, I blended the straw I was using to test the concoction. I tried the shake, added more ice cream, put the lid on and watched as the straw started moving. It took me a few seconds to realize something was awry. I tried to save the shake by using a strainer, but it was no use. The shake was not meant to be.

Why is it that my blender can't seem to manage blending ice cream, but it chops straws to tiny pieces in a matter of mere seconds?
