Posed snapshots, anyone? Fall 1969-70, but close enough. Not too long after adoption. This will be a great countdown! #AT40

Why doesn't ICE deport Dr. Gad Saad? (She asks pleadingly.) (He's a Lebanese-Canadian living & working in the U.S. And an asshat extraordinaire.)

Oh, 70s fashion!! Camping with the 'rents and my white poodle Mimi Jo. Can't recall who had the black dog, but I was in heaven with animals around! Probably 1976 and not '75, but I honestly can't recall. #AT40

I was just starting 7th grade in 1978, and I loved music! Heady times, those. Me in '78 or '79. A few years ago I found my bio families, and while my biomom had passed, I was sent a photo of her from about 1978 and wow... the resemblance is strong. I inherited my withering glance! #AT40

The coffee shop I was in today has, in the bathroom, black wallpaper w/gold bling/chains on it, a classic Adidas sneaker in a glass case with "1986" on it, and this photo. ♥️

Derma check, check (all OK, and he laughed when I said all my keratoses are the only thing holding me together). Justin found the best casual Mediterranean restaurant in Cedar-Riverside (U of M), serving North African & Greek food. YUMMIEST!!! Ate out on patio. (Cond)

Hey guys, our office manager at our school just left, and my husband, after over 15 years & now at the top of his pay scale, decided to take a chance & he enthusiastically got the job! Higher pay, more hours, & year-round. Plus he can still take behavior calls & he knows how everything works!!

Hiya! I'm late! Been in bed sick since Wednesday night. This is a bad one! But I finally showered & put on fresh clothes, so I feel marginally better! 1970? I was 4, so there's that! Pic of me at 3, and my attitude toward doing my hair hasn't changed. Bane of my existence. #AT40

Home sick, very ill, but--watched all 8 episodes of Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story and it may be one of the best damn things I've ever seen. Acting, sets, cinematography, writing, soundtrack--this was MF GORGEOUS!! And another feminist icon with Bronski Beat (along with Orlando).

1976...again? Am I crazy, or has there been a lot of '76 lately? Me w/ my dad, whose 103rd bday would be on Monday, but I lost him 11 yrs ago next Saturday. He'd sing "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah" as he drove me to school in his 1970 yellow Ford pickup w/gearshift on the wheel. #AT40

Vikings v Packers, my two favorite teams*, on the first week? YES, PLEASE! *I realize liking both is illegal in the five-state area, but I'm a rebel. Watch me live on the edge. (FWIW: my first wedding, I wore purple & he wore green, but neither of us watched football.)

1975 I was 9 and still in my pajamas. 2026 I'm 60 and still in my pajamas...and still in bed. But listening! This week took everything I had, plus bugs going around. So, letting my autoimmune, arthritic self sleep all day if need be. But I'll try to stay awake for countdown! #AT40

Day three had some dicey moments, but ended well! Now a much-needed four-day weekend! With papers to grade... Stickers are a hit. Also, they can call me Crazy Cat Lady (Giiwanadiz Gaazhagens Ikwe). Video about Jean-Michel Basquiat (a fave of mine) in art. Fact vs. Opinion w/older boys.

Lol!!! Funny afterward! I once had flyers made ready to post in the neighborhood when I thought this miscreant got out again, when he showed up sauntering out of the pedal hole in my 1970s electric organ!

I have cats who don't even go near the door. Other cats who like looking out but never try sneaking out. And others who will take every chance. Photo: one of the latter. Cancer got her a year ago but we have lost years of our lives searching the hedges for this girl. Miss her, tho. ♥️

Oh no!!! I had a GIANT feral kitten that I took in w/ its mama & brand new litter during a snowstorm. 4-month-old literally ran around the walls & nearly killed himself. Stayed under an armoire for weeks. 2 years later (we kept mama, scaredy boy, & one of the newbies). Lap cats & loverboys!

1979! I was 13 (though photo maybe 1980-1) and living the typical central Minnesota white town life of the time. Spent a lot of time in that room above the garage listening to music, writing down countdowns, trying to stay on top of new music. #AT40

My giant country boy friends when I was a teen used to frequent this ballroom down the road, and we were served no matter how old we were. These guys were known for their extremely fast polkas (they're all like 6' -6'6), and I'd be flying & barely touching the floor. Oh, drunk polkas were great!

Hi everyone! 1970 last Saturday and '72 tonight! Awesome! I can't find any pics from 1972 that I haven't a zillion times, so I'm cheating and posting 1969. Just add 3 years. ;) I'm really tired, so I'm not the sharpest crayon in the junk drawer tonight. :) #AT40

My official workshop week #26 is over (but I have many more hours to put in over the weekend). I am exhausted, like everyone else (even the young new teachers with healthy bodies). I am broke (payday Mon) but happy: I'm prepped for Tuesday (syllabi, assignments, seating charts, slideshows, etc.)

Born in Iowa, but in one of those homes for pregnant teens, and I'm not really sure where I was for 2-1/2 years after that before adoption, so I'm only counting Minnesota for lived in. :) I do want to travel more! Desperately.
