Guest Blogger Laura

Hello all - again!!!   But this time instead of updates....I get to do my very own blog!!!

For starters, Kim & I met back when we were in high school.  It may be hard to believe but psycho mom (PM as Kim affectionately calls her here) introduced us (the one good thing to come out of that nutty friendship) and we discovered that our dads worked together at the post office (small world, huh?).  We ended up going to church together as well. 

My ambition back then was to marry Adam Ant (Kim & I did see him in concert) and Kim was going to marry a man with a British accent < only one of us achieved our goal - wonder who it was...... >.  Anyway, another thing Kim and I did together was work at Burger King and we each moved our way up the ladder to be Production Leaders.  Now at the Burger King we worked at a Production Leader was what they called you when they wanted you to be a Shift Manager at a regular employee salary (yeah, we were that dumb)...at most other Burger King's it meant you could train new employees.

So, as I forewarned Kim on several different occasions, I have dug out some old Burger King photos to share.

But first I want to share our Senior Pictures with you:

                              
     Me, of course to the left (Class of '82) and Kim to the right (Class of '84).

And now, for Burger King.....

 

To the left is our Store Manager, Mary and the right is the Asst. Manager Betty Jean.

The next few (as were the above two) were taken at one of the Christmas Parties:

 

Kim, very shy and then after the booze hit her (okay not really-we weren't allowed to drink at these things).

                         
     Sharing the holiday spirit with Jimmy and Matt (I think Matt was his name).

             

                            
                                        Kim very hard at work!

          
Always well liked by the crew...with Candy in the first and Teresa & Candy in the second. 

                       
This photo was taken at the Christmas Party also...the lady standing is Kim's (and mine) friend Robyn (who y'all have heard her talking about)....and speaking of Robyn, when she became the right age...she came to work at Burger King as well:

                    
Robyn (left) with Deena singing.....we worked at Burger King back in the days when you called the orders over the microphone...so after closing, when we were cleaning, we'd sing over the microphones with the radio!!!

Since I was behind the camera, there were no photos of me...however, I did find this one of me and Jimmy at the same Christmas Party:

                     

From looking at this photo and my senior picture...I am very happy to say that I now have an excellent hair stylist - God Bless Him!!!

And in case you were wondering which one of us achieved our goal....well, let's just say I'm not married to Adam Ant.
