They say a picture says a thousand words – now, here’s a one I would have never (NEVER!) thought about showing anyone (ANYONE) but, this is my blog and I feel the need to share a very rare and personal moment my sister-in-law was mean malicious marvelous enough to capture, on film.
Can’t you just hear the laughter, people!?!
[snort]
All air forced violently through my nostrils, aside – I love it. I thought it was a pretty danged decent gift I got. I didn’t care who knew it and my sister-in-law was as surprised as I was.

“Wow, I just got the most awesome picture of you!”
[eyes rolling]
“Feh…I doubt it…my face always look so…bleh…my hair is always so…ick…and my smile is so…ugh…my eyes always seem to disappear and…”
[raised eyebrows]
“Wow.”
You see, my sister-in-law and I are very much alike (poor thing) and sometimes…well, to make a long story short (I know, too late!) we both go to great pains to try and please our families, to the point that we both are afraid to either say or do anything that, undoubtedly, would end up screwing us in the end, anyways.
No pun intended, Sis.
So, most of our family pictures (that include me) have me looking all wigged-out and way over-moussed!
[see picture above]
One of the main reasons I started blogging (has it been three years, already?!?) was to be able to chronicle the ups, downs and somewhere in-betweens of not only a mom…but, me.
Just me…for nobody else…but, me – blogging is one of the few times I get to be totally selfish, greedy…blah…blah…
[reins in a bit on the bloggity]
So, what is this most awesome gift I speak of?
Here’s me wearing the bestest Christmas gift, ever – with less mousse – don’t think so, that’s okay.
Because my sister-in-law gets me…I know…she really, really gets me!
Then again, I could be wrong and she thinks that my blog sucks and I just talk too much.
[snort]
Nah.

First of all, you are adorable. I think I am in love with you.
Second of all, THE SHIRT! is FABULOUS! Maybe I’m actually in love with your sister-in-law.
Happy New Year, Liz!

Thanks heaps for visiting my blog! And I’m working on figuring out how to post pictures… I just haven’t taken the time to sort it out yet. I thought I was doing pretty well to figure out links. Suffice it to say, the flip-flops are pretty basic, but I’m proud of them. I haven’t owned flip-flops since high school.
