Put Your Outlaw Pix Away, I Win This Challenge, Hands Down!!!

when I saw the challenge for today, I knew exactly what I would post…

Wow–am I one hefty bride!!! Thankfully this photo was taken 17 years and 60 pounds ago!!! 1991..I was in my early 20’s and thought I was set for life…

…let’s dash ahead 13 years, 2 kids and a failed business later, now shall we? It seems while I was raising kids, working full time teaching second grade and driving 40 minutes each way to work with small children in the motorcar, my ex was doing other things than going to work, such as flying to vegas, unbeknownst to me and sitting in Canadian Casinos all over the midwest…(among other things)

where does the flickr outlaw challenge fit into this? Well…it starts with fishy business deals (investigated by the authorities), theft, betrayal and ultimately, abandonment.

Yes! My ex was a member of Club Fed!!!! therefore, I have a REAL pic of a REAL outlaw!!!

I told you I’d win!!!

PS–4 years later it’s all worked out…but it was a real bummer at the time!!!
