i caught part of this episode of Ellen…

Jan 22, 2014

I never watch TV during the day, but yesterday was different. Checking FB during a late lunch break I read a post from an obviously scared Purdue student telling her family and friends that although she was ok, there had been a shooting at her university. I immediately turn on the TV to learn more and watch the press release. The hashtag #PrayforPurdue is so fitting. What a sad and tragic day for the Boilermakers.

After the press release, I got busy doing a few things and didn’t really notice the TV’s sound at all — until I looked up and saw that Ellen was on and right in the middle of “Hot Glam Girl.” I had no clue what I watching but it only took a couple mullets and crazy bell-bottom jeans to figure it out. Struck with THE BEST IDEA EVER, I start digging through old pictures on my hard drive looking for this one image in particular. The photo I’m desperate to find is of my (then) poofy-headed cousin, Jerilyn, sporting a red bandana tied around her neck that perfectly matches the red bow the big ole cow is wearing that’s decorating her sweatshirt.

And that’s when I found this instead…

who is that with Ellen??
