Every damn time...

Day 23: Eight Things You Didn't Know About Me

1. I have freakishly long fingers.
2. I love DE Stevenson books.
3. I have been 5’ 11 ½” tall since I was in the sixth grade.
4. I love to buy chairs, books and kitchen implements.
5. I will pick something out of someone trash, no problem.
6. My husband and I met when we were both selling cars.
7. I don’t like to think about the future.
8. I am a fallacious speller.

Day 22: What I Love About My Job

I LOVE my job.  I really, really do.

I get such a kick out of the people.  Some of the things I get asked on a daily basis are truly unbelievable.

When someone only remembers they read a book once that had George Washington riding on a dragon on it's cover and I can walk right to it on the shelf, it just makes my day.

I love to talk to people and to make them smile.  I want everyone that comes to my library to remember that nice library lady that helped them.  When I was a kid the ladies at my library were mean and a little bit scary.  It is my deepest wish that no kid walks away and thinks that of me.

Of course, there are the idiots too, but damn if they don't crack me up.  I love a good fool.

Day 21: A Self-Portrait

Uhhhgggg...

This one is hard.

I hate pictures of myself.

I always think, "Holy Shit is that me?"

My beautiful daughter has had a camera in her face since the beginning and she is so photogenic.  All I have to do is say "smile" and there it is, the perfect shot.

I love to take pictures of my husband.  I think he is gorgeous.  He is rugged and sexy and has the sweetest smile.

Did you see what I did here?  Did you forget I am supposed to be showing a picture of myself?

Damn.

Me?  Not so much.  I am the picture taker, and that means there are few pictures of me to choose from, thank goodness.  I have my favorites, but they are few and far between.  My drivers licence has the best photo of me, taken a few days before I married my sweetheart.  I will use it until I die.  My daughter has taken a picture or two of me that I really like and many years ago a local photographer used to take pictures of my sister and I to practice.

I love my soulful eyes...

Day 20: Something That Means A lot To Me

I definitely have a thing about pictures.  I torture myself sometimes and make myself decided what I would take in an emergency and what I would leave behind.  I see the "hoarder" in me when it comes to my little bits of paper.  Even though I have 1000's of photos saved to an external hard drive.  I can not make myself click delete on them, it just seems wrong.

Because I have lost someone so important to me I cling to the memories I have.  Pictures are a HUGE part of that.  I love to look at pictures, I love to take pictures, I love to make everyone else look at my pictures.

Every one of them is important to me ♥

Day 19: Myself, One Year Ago

Last year, according to this blog, I was counting my blessing on this day and realizing that while I may not have all I want I certainly have all I need...

I am grateful...

Day 18: What I Wore Today

Well, today was a big day in my usual, scruffy, unwashed  weekend routine.

I went to movie.

In the afternoon.

Outside, amongst the peoples.

Therefore, I was wearing real jeans (not yoga pants), a real bra (not a sports one) and shoes.

UNHEARD OF ON A SUNDAY!

I should have had someone take a picture....no one will ever believe it...
