SOUTHERN GIRL had this wonderful somewhat Meme on her great blog that really brought a smile to my face. I’d like to carry it on over here and encourage you all to chime in on your blogs
The Grown Woman Me Remembers…….
- Stepping around the cut out floor where my husband had laid
- Marveling that I was actually walking down the aisle to Michael Jackson
- Seeing my name up in lights at the Atrium
- looking at these jet black eyes and thinking - I birthed this
- standing at the window with tears streaming as my brother drove off
- grasping the handrail on the 2nd floor because I already could feel my daddy was…gone.
- Feeling AMAZED as a 80+ year old woman said, "Are you Stormeka?"
- The look on Caun’s face during our 3rd date
- Wondering, "Why am I on this Island without a man?"
- Entering the Theatre to see Purple Rain for the 10am Show, coming back out the theatre at 2:00am the next day.
- Sitting in the village enjoying swarma, Charlie Chaplain Movies and chalkboards for tables and feeling just fine!
- Running my hands down my flat stomach
- Standing on Main Street, Disney bawling and exclaiming, "It looks just like it does on TV"
- Having to make a choice between Al B Sure! coming one way and my hubby coming another - I chose Al B. Sure!
- Standing outside the timberland store watching Allen Payne try on some boots - wanting to lick the glass.
- The Gods in the form of the Jacksons descending to touch my hand!
The Little Girl Me Remembers….
- Jumping on the bed as my daddy rained his casino winnings down on us
- Wearing the pink sweater when I was Kelly from Charlie’s Angels
- Laying on the ground with a machete to my neck in Nicaragua
- Sitting at a blackjack table in Atlantic City with my Dad
- Running naked with Mexican kids underneath the mango trees
- Kickball tournaments with the opposing block
- Taking a train and a bus and then hoofing it to spend the afternoon at Lenox Square Mall
- Having dish water thrown on me while I was making out with my upstairs neighbor.
- Getting on punishment for wearing the back out dress I was only suppose to wear on special occasions to play in.
- Getting new Jellys and melting the heel by stopping my big wheel with my feet.
- Being dropped off at Six Flags at 10am and being picked up at 10pm
- Sleep Away camp where I didn’t comb my hair for 7 days

Writing a note and spilling asprin out like I had tried to kill myself in Teenage Angst
Oh my goodness I did the same thing, soooo dramatic oh the days of our young lives!! LOL
LOL LOL Gurlll I can’t even remember what it was about but I know my mom still has the ‘note’ and isn’t scared to bring it up, lol
This is a good post.
“Laying on the ground with a machete to my neck in Nicaragua”…WHAT?!
I remember the days of eating everything and only gaining one pound.
Okay, I just gotta smile at Storm-meka (I know I spelled that wrong). Seriously, I was smiling my head off as I looked at your picture and listened to the voice. Is the gonna be an every post thing? I kind of like the idea of you narrating the post for me.
loved this post.
