January 2010 I made the first book and it was received very well, as was the 2011 book, but you know what really struck me this year? The book had only 2 pictures of me...and as I dramatically put it "I am dead in this family".
Over the years I have resisted my image being recorded, I think this is due to my own insecurities and my own harsh judgement of my outward appearance, I ain't no supermodel people (and really I want to be).....but I'm thinking that this needs to change (not my appearance, well actually I am working on not being a fatty mcfatster but that's a story for another day) .. but the recording of me, living my life needs to start. Perhaps this is a little late...I turn the princely age of 40 in a few months, but I am starting all the same. Today. It's starting. The most recent picture was taken on New Years eve. So deep breath readers, here I am.............
ok ok, this isn't me, its Penelope - this is who I would love to look like, but instead...this is me
and so it begins
you are ADORABLE. That spanish whatzername cannot hold a candle to you! Me, i would like to think me and Catherine Zeta-Jones get mixed up ...
ReplyDeleteI'm getting better at letting my pic be captured; and that's because Oliver and Chelsea.
You are gorgeous! Remember, it's all in the eye of the beholder,anyway! I'm 48 (yes, old!), and run when the camera comes out! I believe my mom did this to me, because she is the same way. You light up the room when you walk in, so you've got the whole package,,great personality too, which is very rare. Another problem (I guess, it's a problem?) for me, is that my hubby of 20 years is really handsome! If we are in (rare) photos together, people will say "wow, what a handsome husband" like they are shocked that I could have a handsome one. Interesting post, I could go on and on.
ReplyDeleteI guess what I'm trying to say is, don't be like me.
From Janelle - I can hear me talking through you...but I'm a decade ahead of you dear girl. Sometime I see pics of me on someone elses FB and think, you do not have my permission to show me that way. When I turned 50 last month, people said 'so are you 29 now?' I said, 'heck no, I'm taking credit for every well earned year.' So with that said, we are who we are :)
ReplyDeletep.s. We are both delicously gorgeous!!
