Huh? Married a felon. How did that happen? And you scaled a snowy bridge in heels? Woman...are you nuts?

Oooh goody! Glad you guys are going to do it too. And Feral, aw shucks, girl.
Wordgirl - let's just say I wasn't exercising the best judgement that night. And, to clarify they were high-heeled mary-janes (think early nineties) not stilettos. Still. I was a dumbass in love. And my first husband was technically a (non-violent) felon for a very foolish thing that he did in his youth. Swedish prison had scared him straight by the time I came along.

I'd love to do my own, but wow. I'd be copying half yours: 3, 6 (it was actually a railroad tressle, and I was wearing cowboy boots - but still in the snow), 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15
And probably 1 and 4 too, considering my second serious boyfriend was actually a best friend that shouldn't have been more... it didn't end well.
Your list makes a great short-short story by the way. Can you see it?

It could make a great short story - would you please write it? He, he. Isn't snow on steel a bitch?

I think #6 is good for another post, if you want to elaborate...
Posted by: Feral Mom | November 14, 2006 at 11:36 PM
Totally did it.

Super list!! I think #7 sounds like something on which to elaborate!

I plan on elaborating on all of them - once I set up an *anonymous* blog. Gotta protect the innocent.
