The Curling Iron

So I have to say when I first thought of spending my month in memories I feared I wouldn't come up with enough stuff......but the truth of the matter is I can't stop thinking about stuff.  There are a lot of crazy things I remember and some stuff just really funny.  Other stuff I wonder why I even remembered it......so random.  My next dilemma was where to start.  So of course I made a list and the list grew and the list was random and in no order. So that's where I will begin with the first item on my list.  And that item was the curling iron.  Really a curling iron was on the list of things you remember.  Hello, you can go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart........all the marts and buy a curling iron what's so memorable about a curling iron.  Well, I will tell you.  And yes this dates me......whatever!  So the first curling iron I remember was one my mother would heat on the stove.  I feared that thing.  Do you realize how hot you can get a curling iron by placing it on the stove....I don't know why I still had hair on my head after it was used on my hair.  Those babies got HOT!  It would freak me out because I knew I was going to get burned by it and I did on occasion.  This picture is much like the curling iron my mom used although I don't remember the rusty part.  Don't talk about my age after you read this please........if you can help it.

I don't think ours had those fancy handles.



You could get some pretty tight curls with that thing.
It pains me just to look at it.
