So I am trying to get a pix with my blog. I took this myself with my digital camera. Fitting I guess since I am the only one who sees this blog.
I like the picture okay. The bangs are a bit, I don't know what they are. Stringy I suppose.
But the face looks okay. I can tell that the shape of my face is a narrow oval. kind of long.
for so many years I've read magazines that tell you how to pick out glasses, pluck your eyebrows, wearing earrings, part your hair, all based on the shape of your face. And they've had examples, sketches and real life ones.
They have had tips on how to determine your face shape: look in a mirror and take soap and trace your face shape.
I never could get it figured out. But now, with the digial camera and taking my own close ups I can see the shape of my face.
It's not so bad. All these years, I've let the media, my peers and others tell me where I fell short. and not liking myself.
Sigh. Life is topsy turvey. Then, when I had a fairly smoking bod, I hated it, despised it, punished it, covered it up, abused it.
Today, about 25 pounds heavier than I was at my skinniest, I take care of my body. I exercise, I eat right, sorta of, and I am now flaunting the old bod. I wear tight shirts and pants. I wear short skirts and low cut blouses.
So what if there's a little overhang at the waistline? So what if there is broken capillary here or there or a wrinkled hand or age spots on the legs.
It's all I've got and it's served me well. It gave me my beautiful daughter. It gives me satisfying yoga classes. Hell, it even attacts the occasioanal guy. So I'm working on changing my attitude.
Today is the fourth of july. I'm off work, sitting here at home with nothing to do, nowhere to go. Mostly my own fault though,
And now it's 3 pm and I suddenly feel like i've run out of time. I need to call my dad and apologize to him and see if he wants to do something. if he does, i have run out of time, if he doesn't, then I've got some time. I just need to make a list of things and then go at them.
I think I'll save this blog and address it later. it's kindof weak and disjointed
