I did get my GED instead. It&#8217;s not something I am proud of, but I am proud of how I was able to find my way into college and eventually an ivy league master&#8217;s degree. When I think about it, it&#8217;s a great reminder that anything is possible with a little hard work and determination.<\/p>\n<h2>I Set my House on Fire<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2583\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-How-to-Wear-a-Capelet-2-849x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-fashion-blog-how-to-wear-a-capelet-2\" width=\"849\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-How-to-Wear-a-Capelet-2-849x1024.jpg 849w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-How-to-Wear-a-Capelet-2-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-How-to-Wear-a-Capelet-2-768x927.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I once set my house of fire&#8230;. with my underwear. Imagine the moment of glee I experienced when the sexy fireman showed the cause of the blaze to be the charred remains of some of my fancy pants. Sigh. I am not sure why I just remembered this today, but it happened. It is and will forever be one of my best party stories. I mean just think of all the &#8220;hot pants&#8221; jokes I can incorporate when telling it. And I do.

I say think, because likely it&#8217;s a selection of random words constructed into some gibberish sounds that kind of rhymes.
