Monday, 3/3/08: 1989 Reeboks
This picture sort of spans last week's theme (Changes) and this week's theme (Wicked's "Popular"), as it not only shows how much Gen and I have changed in the last nearly two decades, but also, *sings* you'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports...
Or... not. Pictured in this lovely team photo of the 1989 Palatine Reeboks are two of the least likely athletes you'll ever see. (I tagged the two of us on the larger version.) For starters, when the team voted on whether to wear black shorts or white shorts with our pink-and-white shirts, I voted wholeheartedly for white. I was not thinking of dirt or grass stains, but rather the fact that white matched so much better! That should have been my first clue.
My next clue was the fact that, at age eight, I was completely convinced that it was too late for me to start playing soccer, as all the other girls had been playing 'their whole lives'. As you may have guessed, I only played the one season. *g*
