so my other thread got me thinking..

I miss being a whirling dervish w/o needing to worry abt how to get there or how to pay for it!

My junior & senior years of HS, I did Spellbowl in the fall, Academic Super Bowl in the Spring, played handbells at my church all year long, ran my church's youth group during the school year, was co-editor-in-chief of the school lit mag, and worked at the local mini-golf and arcade place during the summer. I borrowed my mom's car or she drove me whenever I needed to go somewhere and whenever I needed money, my mom gave me some. I had no chores, no allowance, no worries. I was accepted into a state school the second week of my senior year, so I didn't have to worry abt where I was going or working on my grades. Boys terrified the crap out of me, so I just did my own thing and wore dumb teeshirts and jeans and hung out with all sorts of different people: Marching Band peeps, literary mag artsy-fartsy peeps, troublemaker peeps in French class, youth group peeps. I wasn't popular, but I didn't care.

Those were the days...

I used to ride my mountain bike EVERYWHERE and I used to swim two miles a day! I sure miss that.

I miss having my own SPACE and freedom to do with my time what I wanted.

Wasn't really overly physically active. Was on HS tennis team (but mostly b/c I was forced to). I used to write, wanted to be a writer but I liked the idea of being a writer than doing the actual writing.

Probably the thing I miss most from my younger days (i.e., college years) was having a close group of friends and going to clubs to dance. ahh, fun times . ..

I played softball all throgh out my life and really really miss it! I was SO girly so some found it funny but it just was such a special experience from me. Really kept me in shape to because omg my ass and photoshop are not friends LOL

ROFL, this is me! Well... minus the super girly part. That wasn't me, but the rest is.

I also really miss singing in a choir. I also lettered in choir, as well as academics. I was a little bit of a nerd....

Sleep. Oh how I miss sleep. I desperately wish that my children would sleep past 7 am on the weekends.

I miss going out all the time and dancing.

I did gymnastics when I was young but I was not good at it. Abby is doing dance now and enjoys it. She's overweight for her height so I'm hoping this will give her a good energy outlet to get her back to a healthy weight for her.

Other than that, I didn't do much in school.. I was a theatre geek. I miss the productions though, and wish I had an in around here to do directing or stage managing but the rehearsal hours would not be good for my childcare. Sigh.

Pretty much just doing what I want, when I want. Being able to lie in bed and read all day. Having my prebaby body back would make me happy LOL
