Glory Days

3.29.2012

I stopped by the grocery store yesterday
on my way home from work,
and while I was walking down the bread aisle
(ironic coming from the gluten-free, I know)
I saw a high school girl wearing 
a cheerleading jacket from alma mater.

Back in my 'glory days',
I was on the cheerleading team,
and I get so excited to talk about cheerleading,
my first instinct was to go over and say hi
and ask about the program.

And then I paused...

and realized I've become 'that person'.
You know, 
the really old lady who wants to talk about
how things were done back in their day?

So instead I kept right on walking,
and tried to hold on to some old lady dignity.

But that doesn't mean I can't share a photo
with all my bloggy friends!


That's me on the far right in the air.

Oh, where has my youth gone...
