First Memories..

I was reading an article the other day about a child's very first memory..It said it usually is a traumatic or embarrassing moment..So, I sat still and tried to remember my first memory..and then this popped in my head..

I remember a few things from this day..Waking up ( I guess from a nap..I was 3) and hearing peoples excited voices. It was a Friday...and the OU-Texas game was that weekend. My family lived in Houston and my dad was an OU fan. The kids on the block decorated our house in orange..Streamers everywhere..every window had a UT in it..I vaguely remember flushing the toliet and it was orange..

Someone handed me this shirt..and I remember the words, 'Susan..your dad is going to die.."

I then remember going to my dresser and picking out these lovely polysester green shorts..and then going outside..with the other kids..waiting for my dad to come home..

I remember him driving down the street and I was jumping up and down with my horns on my head..but, not wanting to say hook 'em horns...because I did not want to hurt his feelings...

As, much as I love Auburn....and with the season as bad as it is for Auburn..I must really love them..

But, since that November day..I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Texas..

I believe you have just lost the privilege of blogging unrestricted. At the very least, I will now have to sign-off on all new entries. Shane.
