Seeing Red

WOW!! It's been a month since my last post. I have sat down and tried to come up with something interesting to blog, but have been totally blocked. This won't be very interesting hearing about the last month, however I guarantee you will have a big belly laugh.

Are you wondering what the title to this post means? I decided to make a change in my life. Usually when I want to shake things up I buy an expensive purse. Spending money is a great therapy for me. Instead of spending money on something I don't need I thought I would dye my hair red. Ok, I know you are probably thinking....no she didn't do that. In order to prove that I am now a redhead I took my camera into the bathroom to take a self portrait. Before you look at this picture let me prepare you. I have not had a shower, no makeup and I'm in my pj's. I know if I get cleaned up before taking the picture I will not get back to this today. I did brush my teeth, so you won't smell morning breath.




Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a picture of yourself in a mirror? To further illustrate this I have included a couple other shots.



And, how do you not look like a total dork!!!!! Look at those eyes....I look like I just saw a ghost. These pictures further demonstrate why I won't walk out to the mailbox without my makeup. But you guys are my friends and won't hold it against me for posing naked....that's how I feel without makeup. Right????!!!!


I didn't tell hubby I was going to dye my hair red. Actually, he doesn't like it, but he won't admit that to me. His best trait is he never says anything negative about my appearance. Later that evening we were watching NCIS and he said, "Now I know why you dyed your hair red. Gibbs loves redheads". You have to watch the show to understand that.

So not to leave you in total terror, I'm showing a couple pictures of Josie I took last week. With Brian working out of town, Amber drops Josie here so she can run errands. The blanket she is sitting on was made by my Mom or her twin sister. It was made for my kids. She is so much fun and is trying her best to talk. Don't you wonder what goes through their little minds? It hard to believe she is almost 4 months.



Here I think she is thinking, "Please Mawmaw, is this the last picture?"


Now I'm going to stop by your place to see how your summer is going.
