Baby is an awful lot like me

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside,

Fly high and proud
And if you should fall,
remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when
they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
they pulled that big top down

| Back in the olden days, when I was little, McDonald's actually furnished the cake for you. Ronald McDonald also made an appearance. Yes, he was all dressed up. He probably shook my hand. He may have even hugged me, but he didn't speak. |
Now that I showed you in the above photos, I once had a birthday party at McDonalds. You can see I wasn't always a vegetarian. I didn't choose to do that until 9th grade.
I do love clowns! For me they are the joy of the circus. I like that they can be silly, & make people laugh. I know some people are afraid of them. I hope I didn't scare anybody.
On a happy note, the sun has been shining the past 2 days! Right now I'm in a hotel room.
I'll see my nieces tomorrow. :)

I love this song! I chose to be a vegetarian in high school and was really passionate about it, but have gone back to eating meat since. I think about it all the time, though. I didn't understand (back then) how to get the right amount of protein and what not, but have done a lot of research since and may try again. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your visit, and wonderful words.
ReplyDeleteGreat and inspiring post.

Teddi Hello dear, I love the pictures, was looking at his photograph of a child, and it's amazing how your smile is the same! I love!
ReplyDeletelovely post and the pics are so pretty!
ReplyDeletei like your dress
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute story. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI think clowns are creepy, but in a good way. Well, I mean, I wouldn't want to meet one in a dark alley or anything. But I adore that silk clown dress. And the photos of you as a little kid, I always enjoy seeing those! By the way, I did watch that Project Accessory episode. It was saved on my DVR and as soon as I read your comment I watched it. It was INSANE! I wanted that spider cuff. Badly.

wooow nice post and i was really shock about de phtos of the view from that city..great =)
ReplyDeletethanks for liking my drawing! :)
ReplyDeleteand loved this post.. great choice of images.. I'm not that much into clowns but I'm not scared either.. my aunt had this huuuge obsession with clowns, I swear there is a room in her house with more than 500 clowns: figurines, paintings, clothing, pillows, dolls, masks, plastic art representations, paper machee, etc.. that is a scary room to be honest.
