Remember the horror of work picture day last week? I certainly can’t forget it. Here is the finished product. I hate it, as I knew I would, but I also figured I had to share. I told you guys the whole story, so I couldn’t just leave you hanging! Sorry for burning your eyes with this. Speaking of eyes, after seeing this picture, I’m faced with the realization that one of my eyes is sort of lazy. When did that happen?! Has it always been like that? I blame aging. Sigh.
I made it clear in my last post how I feel about picture day today at work. Well, the worst thing in the world happened while I was posing for my “portrait”. My friend CP was in the room with me, styling my Barbie coif and pumping up my self esteem before the camera started clicking. I was feeling pretty good about myself. Then, our Office Manager walked in, overheard the Barbie references, and said “Damn girllllll you thicker than a Snicker Barbie”. Then the camera started clicking. So, basically, the pictures are of me crying about being called “Fat Barbie”. Fail.
Remember when you were a kid, and picture day was super fun at school? You got to show off your 80’s Bill Cosby sweaters and demonstrate your talents in reaching new heights with the Aquanet? Well anyway, it was fun for me. And the most fun part was that it didn’t really even matter what your picture ended up looking like. All you cared about was that you got to wear a sweet outfit to school that day (especially if you were like me and caged up in a uniform for the first 18 years of your life).
Anyway, I digressed (shocking). Today is “professional” picture day at work. I’d rather be punched in the face than take this photo. I’d even consider eating a Bum’s toe nail to get out of it. I promised Husb I’d snarl in one of the pictures for fun. I told him I’d send him that picture and he responded and said “what, it’s not enough that I live with that face every day”? What a sweetie.
So, as I figure out how to work this WordPress situation…I thought I’d tell y’all how to find me on the Internets. All my loyal followers (haha, I think my only follower is my sweet Husb – thanks love) need to know where to find me!

Hi there! This is my first post after deciding on a whim that I just really need a blog. A place to tell my stories. A daily diary of my adventures as a new wife with a new life. I’m not totally sure what this blog will be about, but I got married a month ago, and there is a lot on my mind as I adjust to this new life. I’m not a young bride, so I am very used to a life of total independence (and so is my husband), so it’s been an adjustment to create a 50/50 balance all the time. I’m definitely not complaining – I’m over the moon about my husband (he is the BEST) and thrilled to start our life together. It just seems like a lot at the moment…learning to live together, merging (and purging) all of our things to create a space that is both of ours and feels like “our home” instead of “his home” or “my home”. And of course, I want it all done yesterday! But budget constraints and finding things we both agree on and love…that seems to be taking time. So, as of today, we’re sort of at an impasse. Lots of ideas on what we want our home to be but we haven’t pulled the trigger on any major purchases. So, aside from having decorating on the brain, I’ve been having tons of fun cooking for my new Husb and he’s having a ton of fun eating my creations (for the most part…but there have been some Fails in the mix…but a little food poisoning never killed anyone, right??!!). So, there will be some recipes and cooking adventures on here. Anyway, my point is I’m not really sure where I’m going with this blog but for the near future, expect to see lots of decorating posts, recipes that I try out, and some fashion and beauty product reviews thrown in for fun. Plus my running commentary on the world we live in (or the world I live in, really). So, ta da, here is my blog and I’m so happy you’re here!
