My Modeling Career

aka - my days as a clothing psychology guinea pig.

My mom has a friend who's working on starting a career in clothing psychology. She'll meet with someone, talk to them and get to know them a bit and what they like, etc. and then go through the closet getting rid of things that just aren't flattering, are old, or should never have been created in the first place. Sadly, I had more than a black garbage bag full of items that fell under these categories.

As a thank you for her taking the time to help me out with my clothing options and putting together some nice outfits for me (out of things I already owned, amazingly enough), I agreed to give her some pictures for a presentation she's working on.

Here's the best one (in my opinion):


I really dislike being in pictures.
Does it show?

Sometimes...

I think my head is going to explode.

And then I think about what that would look like, and I really hope it doesn't happen.

Perhaps Another Reason I Want To Go To Italy

I'll admit - I cried a little bit while watching this.
Sometimes I just need a good hug.

Awesome

Do I Dare???

I just saw that I would have to almost half the time that I got when running the LA marathon. Is this something I want to work for in the next five years (and few months) before I move up to the next age group?

Not sure.

Just thinking about it...

I Like Nice People

Lessons Learned -

Lesson 1:
when the bluest sky you can see is this far away, there's a reason for that

Lesson 2:
when it's been thundering and raining on and off all day, it's very likely that it will continue doing so.
Mother Nature doesn't bluff

Lesson 3:
there are nice people in the world

while walking with Dingo, the stroller, a blanket, my nephew, and a leash, I thought I could beat the next bout of rain.
that didn't happen.
while walking past one of many houses, I heard someone call out, "Do you need an umbrella? Hold on, I'll bring you one."
This nice man ran out holding an umbrella out for me.
I took it back to him after returning home - much drier than I would have been had I not had an umbrella to use.

I'll say it again - I Like Nice People.
I also love walks in the rain.
And I love thunder.

sidenote: when I pass this, it almost makes me want to buy a telephone poll and put it up in my yard so I can grow something that looks this cool.

...I just had no idea that this was it.
