Birthday Countdown: Day 16

My first car...a 1991 Geo Prizm

I think I was sixteen when my folks decided to buy my first car. We went to a used car lot near my high school. All I wanted was a red car. It didn't matter what make or model...it just had to be red. On our way home, my mama rode with me...she was terrified. She should have been because I turned in front of an 18 wheeler with its signal on and almost got us killed. Who knew a signal light didn't mean the vehicle was actually turning? (Thank you, God, for keeping us)

Today is Day 16

At 16 years old...

I was a second semester sophomore in high school and a basketball player. 

My best friend: A PK who I had known since we were three, and my bball teammate.

My crew: Athletes. Basketball, track and football folks.

I was dating: Dating is a strong word... back then it was more like "talking to" as I  wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend. But boys liked me...and I liked them.

I dressed: In my daddy's clothes. A straight up tomboy!

My attitude: Was mean and smart. I had a short fuse and would pop off if someone crossed me. But I was also comedic.

My Family: Saw me all the time when I wasn't off playing ball, working at Hardees or flying out of town for a competition.

In present day...the 16th day of my birthday countdown. I heard a good word and watched football the rest of the day. I also wrote a new post on  my style  blog www.ybbgstyle.com.
