Well, I finally did it...I put up an actual picture of myself for my profile pic. I've always felt a little leary of doing that, one because I don't really know WHO is looking at my blog , but also because there aren't a lot of pictures of me that I like well enough to put on public display, KWIM? Yesterday my 14yo son urged me to change my profile picture on Myspace. He took a few different ones of me, but this is the one I like the best. It was FREEZING outside (well, by Southeast Texas standards anyway LOL) and he was goofing around and making me laugh. But I am not crazy about my teeth, so of course, I didn't want a big toothy grin, so he kept having to take the picture over again. This is the original that my profile pic came from:  I really like the composition of this original pic better than the cropped version I used for the profile pic (which had to be chopped up to fit HSB profile pic standards -- 150x300 NOT 300x150, learned the hard way). LOL I am really trying my best not to laugh out loud at my son's antics. I think the resulting smile is kind of nice. The cold northern wind was blowing my hair and our beautiful pond is in the background, I am looking straight at the camera, not off to the side at some distraction and I'm not squinting or blinking. WOW! Will wonders ever cease?! LOL It all seemed to work because for once someone captured a picture of me that I don't just absolutely HATE. LOL Usually, I am busy doing something, like digging in the cluttered fridge, and someone will say, "Hey, Mom!" and when I look they'll snap the pic and fall to the floor in a fit of hysterical laughter -- how funny *she says sarcastically*....I've got a few of those around...someday maybe I'll hunt them up and post them...maybe as a slideshow...maybe...  |
