How To Eat Watermelon
(by Roo)
dig in and chow down
revel in the sweet and juicy goodness
walk away when you are full, your work here is done
The kitchen sink, clean!

Lastly,
Pictures of My Awkward Self From Age 8-18
my sister (on the left) and me
my shirt says, “you caught me at a bad time, I’m awake”
my friend B and me (on left)
this one raises so many questions
my head never did grow into those sunglasses

WHEEEEEEE!
I’m wearing one of my mom’s old dresses from the 60′s and jumping like a crazy girl
(ETA: don’t I look like Paul McCartney in this one?)
“ahem, miss?! You are only 18″
Lets call this one whip-it-good.
I showed you mine, now you show me yours!!!!

Wow. LOL. Don’t you love looking back at pictures of yourself?! Not a chance I’m showing you mine by the way. Love the pics.
I love the pics of Roo.
Awesome photos, I like Roo with the slug, and the ones of you from high school. I really must get a scanner.
Tricia
I love little Roo’s philosophy on most things including watermelon eating, slugs, and cupcakes tops!
Thanks for sharing to awkwardness…I can relate all too well…mine was about 11 plus years…lol
I looked at your Protfolio pics and they are beautiful!
xo
Now why would anyone want to know how to say igPay atinLay in Pig Latin? :spinning:
Love the pictures… I did some of me a few weeks back. The pictures are in my photo blog. None though when I was really little… well, there are a couple… so mine are there for the viewing. LOL Does that count as “show me yours”?
I love Roo with her face in the watermelon! The teen ones are funny! I’m guessing you had a thing for Tom Cruise in TopGun and were trying to be the female version in the armyshirt one??????? Sigh,all mine old pics take scanning and things I don’t know how to do! Sorry,I do have some good black hair ones I will try to locate!
I hate looking at tween/teen photos of myself.
Love the watermelon photos.
Ha! That Roo!
You’ll NEVER see those pics of me…..I’m going through my awkward years now!
Oh, and I have to say, “Lay your head/Upon my pillow….” I’ll be singing that song ALL night now. Thank you very much!
Great find on the CD’s! I Love the pictures of you! Thanks so much for sharing your life. Roo, that little cutie, eating watermelon and frosting add slugs and she’s having a great time! Blessed Be
Yum water melon, very cute.
well, those are just too cute, all those retro pics of you! Although that USAF one does need some explaining. I don’t have the patience to scan mine in… ok, maybe a few… later
This is the best post ever!!
Yay for Cd’s and watermelon!
You are adorable. I wanna come to your house to play.
Ok, sure, awkward, but you are CUTE and you always look like you are having so much FUN!! My fave is the goober x10 one– awesome!!!
Slugs. ew. (Sorry) But watermelon gusto, yay!
WHIP – IT’s!!!!
Roo knows the way watermelons taste best!
Awesome deal on those CD’s! That’s teh kind of garage/yard sale I like.
Love the flash back pictures!!! 8 -18 how cool! Always the same beaming REAL smile!
Ummm… I will venture into the old books and scan some photos soon… after a lil’ whip – it! — because only the bravest lions go there! :laugh:
K~
Ooohhhhh…. We LOVE that Sqirrel Nut Zippers album around here – put on your dancing shoes and go crazy!!!
My goodness, the one of you at age 8 (I’m assuming- it’s the first one) looks so much like your son.
Oooohhhh! Good CD’s! Hank Williams was my daddy’s all time fav. Whenever I hear him, I smile.
I love your gooberlicious pictures!
Nice collection of CDS! Love the cupcake story :giggle:
:giggle:
Neat pics! Awesome deal on those CD’s! I have no pics of me when I was that young, they are all at my mom’s…
What a cutie! (You and Roo) LOL… see my post from Saturday for some young’un shots of me
I LOVE that miscommunication….too funny. That should have been in one of those sprint commercials.
Roo is such an imp! hmmmmm….I wonder WHERE she gets it? Those pictures of you are just grand. You take me back my dear, yes, you take me back. Thanks for making me
!
Those are awesome! I love the ones of the watermelon and the slug. And wow, does Jesse look like you!!
Roo too but Jesse more. Great pics! When I get braver I will see if I can dig up any of my old ones.
Kids know how to eat watermelon the right way! To heck with the fork.
And you are indeed one brave lady. Thanks for sharing those “awkward” photos. My kids get the biggest kick out those big glasses that were truly in style way back when.
scattered, but very fun.
ig-pay atian-lay
I miss pig latin.
Mmmm. Watermelon.
The pics are fantastic!
hahahah oh roo!!! she’s too cute! i’ve never heard of a child being fascinated with slugs, personally they creep me out!
and i swear julie your smile is one of the most beautiful i have ever seen!!!!! beautiful!
Tell Roo that I ate a slug when I was her age. I, too, loved slugs.
You were very cute Julie.
Ya’know, the tops with frosting ARE the best part. :p
There’s a teensy part of me that wants to eat watermelon the way Roo does.
No part of me wants to hold a slug.
I love your hair evolution. Mine looked, more or less, the same all through high school. I’ll put some up once I get scanning.
fact- slugs have four noses. I learned this from eating a popsicle from snap apple today.. On the stick it stated the above fact. Tell that to little Roo
They probably really like her because they can smell her sweet smiles filled with watermelon 
Christina
Goober Rama you crack me up! Those are great….you are very brave to share with us! :p :p Those Roo pictures are cute as ever. I keep meaning to ask you, and please don’t be offended…but is Roo, Roo’s name? Or nickname? I love it…I’m just curious. I feel bad now, I’m always de seeding H.’s watermelon, and worrying that he’s going to eat them, but Roo makes me think that isn’t the case!
you are the funniest girl ever. and if’n i had any pictures of my youth i’d show you. (they are currently packed away at mom & dad’s house).
oh, http://www.reprodepot.com has that munki munki cowboy monkey fabric.
You have the most amazing smile! Beautiful!
I’m there with Roo about the slugs – they are very interesting little creatures.
You cutie patootie! Love that adorable little belly. And I TOTALLY had those exact Isis earrings!
love it!!!
Oh my goodness!! I will digging through the photo books once we re-settle. Your pics are fabulous and it was neat to see how much Jesse looks like you at that age.
First of all: Ray Price!?!?! I LOOOOOVE Ray Price! If only you had found some Mac Davis. I have Buck Owen’s Greatest Hits, FYI. Maybe I should copy it for you. Ssshh. Don’t tell anyone.
Secondly: Roo is a girl after my own heart. Frosting good. Especially mashed into the cupcake so you end up with cake-frosting goo paste. Mmm. Be sure to show her that.
Thirdly, back to music: You scored on the Squirrel Nut Zippers! And how is that Brazilian Groove?
Fourthly: Look at your lovely self! Your resemblance to Paul McCartney is uncanny in that photo, and I love the dress. Do you still have it? You should wear it. With the big glasses, because those are back.
Fifthly: Bye! Smooch! :love:
I love the last CD in the pile – Squirrel Nut Zippers! Priceless.
oh, that was so much fun!!! I will think about putting up some of my own pics of myself….that was so much fun. when I used to baby sit, I would fish around for photo albums…they are just the best!
OMG, Julie, you DO look like Paul McCartney! LoL! Love the pics of Roo eating the watermelon! Y’all are TOO cute! :giggle:
1. igpay atinlay, right?
2. cupcake tops are the bestest
3. i :heartbeat: your upcloses of roo
4. i may have to confess i’ve only heard of like… half of those cassets… maybe
5. clean kitchens are always photo worthy
6. you’re freakin adorable, and i love the one with the sunglasses, and bathingsuit one under it
7. in the last picture you look like one of my friends
8. i have no access to photos of me until at least august… but i’d love to share.
….maybe i could do my album in stickfigure drawings….
yay :sunny:
You don’t look awkward at all. When I see these pictures of you, you just seem so comfortable with yourself and so much fun. I was awkward, so self-conscious. I don’t have any of those pictures. Love the sink and the wonderful pics old and new.
what a great post! I love how Roo lives life with pure curiosity and happiness!
and you got the chieftens and nickle creek and Hank williams and Paul McCartney!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 50 cents!
how cool is that~!
Now I’m not crazy ’bout slugs, either, but I like them better than Fiddleheads
Those are GREAT old pictures. Hmmm…now when were you in the Air Force? 
I LOOOOVE your pictures! Especially the one with the big sunglasses and the green coat. Gosh, if I whip out my akward teen pics, people would duck for cover! hahaha
I love Ruby’s adoration of slugs- how cute! I love them, too. and the pics are so neat! I love how wild your hair is. so funny how roo ate all the cupcake tops!
