Bob, whom I've known for 26 years, insisted I sort through a trunk I've stored at his house over 12 years. He wanted to throw stuff out. So, opened the trunk and out pops memories!! A pair of my shorts and a leather tie hippie "top" (if you can call it a top!) the size of a 10 year old... Bob says "oh! I remember those!" I bet he did! Some cloth diapers I made for Eric, says "Made With Love By Mommy". I made most of his diapers and a lot of his clothes. Ms. Santa Fe Earth Mother Goddess! Little hats and t-shirts saved from Eric's first few years. Some fancy shoes... Can't imagine I would have worn them. Bob and I started talking about the way I used to dress when I was the comptroller for a middle-sized engineering firm... yes, I remember now! Half-Naked most of the time. I laughed "I wondered why I got great raises and a lot of responsibility, I thought it was because I was so darn smart!" Bob replies, "You were very naive then, very very naive." I agreed - I had no clue that the highlight of the week was when I handed out paychecks to the engineers... in my usual half-naked way of dress. I actually never thought about it in terms of being seductive.... I just thought the dresses were CUTE and FUN and PRETTY! Naive, yes. I had no sense of "appropriate vs. inappropriate" and in fact, I think I've only acquired that sense in the last few years... really. I don't know why... slow, I guess. Perhaps my lack of education was due to the fact that we were poor when I was growing up - didn't have money for clothes and wore "whatever" - my mother made clothes for us... really sort of unprofessional looking. Although they were, no doubt, made with love by mommy, there was no tag saying so. Also, since we lived in an almost unpopulated canyon (ultra-rural), no one really cared! Okay, so now I have delayed embarrassment going on... oops, so my boobs were hanging out of that leather top! .... who noticed? I forgot to look in the mirror, anyway. Didn't think I needed to, I guess.
