WIWAK I spent the majority of my time outdoors, playing baseball in the streets, having pinecone wars between neighbors yards, catching lightning bugs to put in jars, creating doodle bug farms in a wheel barrow, dressing up for Go Texan day, riding my bike everywhere, practicing in my mother's high heels, chasing the boys, laughing a lot.

WIWAK we played outside all day instead of playing video games.

WIWAK my grandmother's house was a second home and spent almost half my childhood there. Not because I was a troublemaker and kicked out of the house by my folks, either.

WIWAK.. the summer I was four years old... I played in the sun so much my blonde hair was bleached white. Ever since then it just kept getting darker.

WIWAK my grandfather was a barber and buzzed my hair and swore I would never get it cut that short when I had a say in it. Ten years, ago, I started getting it cut really short, again.
