{ Self Portrait }
{SOOC. This is exactly what I look like at 7:18 PM. No fixes. No retouches. I’m tired from a 50-minute commute home and a trip to the gas station; my glasses have left pink spots on the sides of my nose; the wrinkles under my eyes are clearly visible; the blemish that literally popped up overnight on my cheek is in plain site; whatever makeup I started the day with is long gone.}

Thanks Darcy!
I’ve come to the realization that pretty much anywhere I go, with the exception of Ames, I’m in the minority. Oh well…

Isn’t it interesting the flaws we find in ourselves…that no one else even notices? That is one gorgeous self photo 🙂 Visiting from Project 52.

Nice angle. You look pretty good after such a long, tiring day. Also like the font / script under the photo. Well done.

Lol – I’m reading along thinking what a wonderfully insightful piece and then I came to the part about football and tight pants and cracked up laughing! It’s definitely one of the very nice things about the sport and what got my daughter to finally watch football!
