Caren's Story
Life
Since I shuffled off from Buffalo and moved to California I've been involved in many things. I went to college in California spent time working in the mens clothing business in management and was fashion coordinator for the company. Then I joined the calculator industry (before Computers) and worked as a national salesperson for many companies one of them took me to New Orleans where I lived for two years. Then I was tranferred to Los Angeles where I met my husband got married and was married 23 years until recently, I am now a widow. We retired to Palm Springs and I got back into interior design (I am an interior designer) So thats that at least the stuff I can write about. Oh I still talk a lot and am the same Caren that went to Riverside except with blonde hair!
When I was a freshman at Riverside and leaving school one day an upperclassman got me with lipstick and I had to go on a bus and then walk home with a big "F" on my forehead!!!
I think they called that freshman rush, I call it assinine!!!!wonder if they stil do it????
The wildest thing wasn't really that bad but it was the last class of the day and I wanted to go downtown shopping so I asked my teacher to be excused and never came back.I then met my boyfriend outside who had my coat in his locker and away we went. He was supposed to be at Monday religious school.
The next day I told the teacher I got sick in the bathroom!!!! It worked!
My girlfriend gave me a bottle of bubble bath for a xmas present ...Expand for more
so I snuck in the boys bathroom poured some in all the toliets and flushed them poured some in the sinks bubbles were everywhere it was great, my girlfriend was watching the door..What fun was that and crazy...I was only a freshman..
Got caught reading the book Candy, in class!!!
My first job was at Buffalo Zoo, where I got paid $1.25 hr to work at the concession stand. What I remember most about it is Manythings, getting up at and being there at 7 in the morning boxing popcorn, The owners son Barry always trying to cop a feel from me and one day I titlted the milkshake I was making and it went all over him, on purpose of course. The great hotdogs no matter how many you ate, burn marks on my arms from the french fry machine, the weekend I personally made over 1000 cotton candys, loved the stuff hanging from my eyelashs. Snowcones, converting change with the canadian money. Mr and Mrs Bender yelling at each other. Later new owners took over and they decided to sell fish to feel the seals, so I volunterred so I could work on my tan. So I put my fav Bain de Soil on me and sold smelt 3 for a dollar. Well, after doing this for the weekend, I smelled. One day Shelly Frank offered me a ride home (he was a co-worker) and he opened his trunk and said get in lol..another time I was walking home frome work and I heard a noise and 16 cats were following me up the street...what memories..Anyway, I worked there for 3 years, all thru high school, every weekend...but I loved it....
