2006/4/15 The Beginning....My beginning that is......I was conceived on or around March 22, 1956. I was born Colleen Marie on December 13, 1956. It was a Thursday at 3:35am, probably the reason I hate to be woke up early for as long as I can remember. I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the wonderful Midwest of The United States of America.
I think I had a happy childhood, I'm not the type of person that remembers allll of it. I mean I know the highlights and the good and bad times. My Mother thinks there's something I'm not telling her since I don't remember more than I do. Jeez, what can I say.....maybe it was too boring??? :-)
I do remember summer picnics and all the summer activities that came with being off from school. You know, when it was still safe to be anywhere in the neighborhood until dark! I remember living across the street from Ruby Ranch where they had the Clydesdale horses. What fun that was to climb up on the fence and let one come up to you for a pet. They were huge....of course I was smaller then....but still, they were huge. Autumn was and still is my favorite time of year. Back then it was jumping into the leaf piles.....I still do that, Ha! Of course December was the best month of winter, my birthday and Christmas, what could be better than that?? It's not such a great thing. As you get older people tend to forget your birthday all together or my favorite, combine it with Christmas. NOT FAIR!!! I've always said I'm going to start doing that for other people....even and especially if their birthday is in July!
I have the childhood memories and cherish them. Some I forget about until something jogs my memory and then I'm enjoying that time all over again. It happens allot since I came back here to live 3 years ago.....but that's getting ahead of myself.
By the time I was 15 and just getting into the "cool" stage of my life, or so I thought I was one of the cool ones, my parents decided to move to Arizona! What the Hell?? Move where? Is there really such a place? I thought it was just on TV and in the movies. Oh My God.....my life was over. I had my friends and we were just starting to do the "Cool" things. There's that word again, "Cool"! It really sums up so many things, doesn't it? I was a teenager and a selfish one at that. We were moving because Dad had to get to a warmer/dryer climate. It still didn't make sense to me. Me.....Me....Me!!! Typical teenager.
We sold the wonderful house I thought I would grow-up in and move out of on my own. Rented an apartment for another year which meant I had to change schools. It was no longer a walk over to my friends houses. And I had to make new friends and get use to a new school......could it get any worse??
Yep......we moved......
