When using chapstick, Lianne Hill on the school bus home. Her lips were so chapped and irritating her that she smother her lips and the surrounding area of her lips in the waxy substance. Hardly anyone would have noticed, except that she used Cherry Scented Chapstick, which also had a hint of red to it, leaving her mouth (and face) looking somewhat Ronald Mcdonald like.
When listening to Garth Brooks’ "Standing Outside the Fire", Sophmore year, Honor’s english and Liz Harper. Early into the school year, we were assigned to break down the lyrics to a song and write paper about what we thought they were about. I chose ‘Standing Outside the Fire’ because I thought it would be fairly easy to write about. I took my time and chose the perfects words to describe what the song was about and proudly traded the following day with Liz Harper when we were instructed to have a fellow student read it over before we turned it in. Liz read it, looked at me and said "It’s well written, but that’s not what it’s about." Ms. Stanek went a bit easier on me than Liz did; possibly because she didn’t listen to country music.
When baking cookies, Kate spinning circles in my mother’s kitchen. She’d come over and we’d start to mix up a batch of cookie dough. The long kitchen with hardwood floors were too much for Kate to stand and soon she’d be up on her toes, spinning circles up and down the kitchen. Generally, we’d get half the dough baked and we’d end up sitting on the family room sofa, watching tv and eating the rest of the dough with spoons.
More to come as I think of them . . .
