Last week, Mickey called me out on the fact that I had back to back Wordless Wednesday posts. I meant to post Tuesday, so I could put up a photo on Wednesday without going for three in a row, but, I didn't get to it, so I didn't post at all. How do you like me now, Mickey? :)Here's a rundown of things that have happened since I last used actual sentences in a blog post.Argo had another bump, and I had to take him for a needle biopsy. It turned out to be benign, thank goodness, and our vet is so incredibly awesome about calling the very second the results come in.I've been working on a … [Read more...]

I'm feeling better now. Thank you for indulging my mopiness. To be completely honest, it probably had more to do with the trip I took two weekends ago, and less to do with what I looked like on TV. I feel a little sheepish about the whole thing now.

The only makeup I'm wearing is the stuff I didn't quite manage to wash off last night. My hair is a mess, and I'm wearing a shirt I've had since high school (hey grunge! I still love you!) How is this helping? Well, because I think what was bothering me was that I felt like what was out there was a very distorted version of me. I am comfortable with actual me, but I didn't feel right about cankle-necked washed … [Read more...]

Yesterday, I wrote this really long diatribe about how confident and comfortable I am in my own skin now and how I like me and I'm proud of my accomplishments. Then the segment I taped came on TV and I got distracted and didn't hit send. They were so kind to me at the station and I am really so thankful for the opportunity, but can I just say Holy unflattering camera angle, Batman! I'm trying to be good and recognize that I don't really look like that. It's a combo of angle and lighting and all that fun stuff. There is actually definition between my neck and my face and I don't have the … [Read more...]
