Me, the Author of This Here Blog 9/12-12 month project

Oops, it is September 29th and I have yet  to post a picture of myself this month. 

One of my goals this year is to post a picture of myself at least once a month on my blog for the entire year.  I am not in pictures very often because I am usually the one behind the camera.  And in some weird, twisted way I always look at pictures and wonder if it would be one shown at the funeral of the person in the photo.  So yes, I hope some of these may be funeral-worthy. And, I hope to overcome my dislike of every single picture ever taken of me and stop being so critical of who I am.  Because I know that in ten years I will think I looked great back then and wish I had appreciated it while I could.

I helped out with the books one Saturday this month in Jakob’s dugout.  While we were in rain delay (We went all summer without a drop of rain and then it had to rain during the second game of the fall season.  Go figure.) I made Chris go stand in the drizzle and take a picture of me doing such an important job.  I want to make sure my kids remember how much I sacrificed for them.  *cough cough* (Also please take note of the Liz Logelin shirt I was wearing.  This was the day I ran the 5K in honor of her life.)

That is a GREAT picture! Beautiful smile!

It IS a great picture - you look happy and beautiful, and there is nothing better than that.

I love this goal, and I need to try to do this myself. Like you, I'm never in pictures and I always hate the ones that I'm in. I'm much too critical of myself. Henceforth, I am adopting this goal for myself as well.

Cute! And until you said that you made Chris go and take it, I thought it was completely candid.

Great picture! You look so official! And I love that you're wearing your LL 5K shirt! Because YOU RAN A 5K! Woohoo!
