I did a practice run of my makeup today for the wedding I'm in this weekend, so I figured I should take advantage of it and snap a picture wherein I don't look crazy or high (BLS, anyone?). I was due for a new FB picture anyway. In my natural habitat (the sofa):  I look thrilled, obviously. |

I love this shirt. Fortunately for me, the dress I have to wear is decidedly not ugly. No poofy sleeves or strangely placed bows or anything! The heels are stupid high and I'm stupid tall and it's outdoors, so I'm pretty much just hoping I can make my way down the aisle (picture a new baby colt taking its first awkward steps) without falling on my face. Or passing out while standing still in one place, as I have been known to do. Scary! |

Me with my parents Cool Pic Michal! I graduated highschool in the late 80's. Your attire, the quite confidence of your body language, and even your physical appearance is reminiscent of someone I once new. It was a nice flashback to have this morning. Thanks for posting. I did a practice run of my makeup today for the wedding I'm in this weekend, so I figured I should take advantage of it and snap a picture wherein I don't look crazy or high (BLS, anyone?). I was due for a new FB picture anyway. In my natural habitat (the sofa): I look thrilled, obviously. The wedding party will be fortunate to have ya! Wonderful picture -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Considering the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding I often read on this web site the young age of so many of you is amazing to me. Y'all are blessed. Glory be to God. It serves me well as a very humbling experience |
