Oh, dear. I have been gifted with a new phancy phone. Once I got over my information overload, I started to set all the settings.
The camera offered me a "picture of myself" option. So, with the screen facing me, I clicked that setting to see what it was all about.
I was totally unprepared to see a picture of myself - live and moving - facing me. And, crap, I looked like a convict. Unwashed lank hair, no makeup, a new double chin. Couldn't help thinking of Martha Stewart rocking her prison greys.
Motherhood has made me look like a crack ho. The last time I was this dogged out, it was finals week at law school. I took a study break and went for a walk in a T-shirt and bicycle shorts. A red Porsche winged over to the curb and offered me a ride. I declined three times, and three times the gentleman - and I use that term loosely - did not believe that I was saying nyet to a so-obviously great ride when I was, apparently, so-obviously in need of twenty bucks.
Bad stuff.
A part of me says that I need to get watching "What Not to Wear" again and put on some makeup each day.
But another part of me says that my dear spawn will be in preschool this time next year, so I'd better just enjoy the lazy dogged-outness while I can.
That said, I think I will avoid the Take a Picture of Myself feature in the future and stick with plundering my household MP3 collection. Those have no mirrors.
Vis. the title, it's snowing here at last. I am never in a particular hurry for winter to begin, but this year it was way overdue. I feared that we'd all be shoveling in July to make up for the karma.
But the snow is here, huzzah, and when Munchkin wakes up from her nap, I am hoping to present her with that Big Surprise and be rewarded with happy semi-articulate cries of "Soooooo! [snow!] Boooooo! [boots!]"
Plus, in a stocking cap, you can't tell whether my hair is clean.
