Someday, I fully intend on getting a picture after I've showered, done my hair, put on some makeup, and am not wearing anything with elastic in it.
That day is not today, though.
Meticulous. Very, very meticulous.
(also, I really dig how it looks like the paper is coming out of my nose. I think it sets off that ginormous facial feature)
The Jude took the picture, but only because Joaquin promised him that he could have free access to the aforementioned coloring page, the better to study it and copy it exactly.
Good times. Good, good marker-y times, courtesy my mom and dad, who sent us a giant box filled with school supplies the other day. The kids have been in coloring pages heaven, what with a treasure trove of pristine crayons and markers at their disposal.
Next up: Snapshots.
So the other day, Ken made some suggestions about Snapshots that I like; I think I'm going to try one of them out this month.
Instead of assigning everyone a specific time (and feeling really horrible when Fate presents poor Bobbi with the redeye shift for the 3rd month in a row), this month we're going to try having everyone take a picture at the same time.
Let's say, oh, 4:00p.m E.S.T.
In other words, every person who wants to contribute should take a picture as close to 4:00p.m E.S.T. as possible.
I think it'll be interesting to see what we're all doing at the same time- which is why I'm specifying taking the shot during the Eastern Time Zone's 4pm. It'll be as close to freezing a particular moment and sharing it across space as time as possible.
For you visual people:
I'm looking forward to seeing the final result. I think it'll be an interesting modification.
I have set the alarm on my phone. Now let's hope I remember to turn the volume back up after mass on Sunday morning, so I actually hear the alarm.
ReplyDeleteBTW I love Ken's idea for the snapshots. I really look forward to everybody's pics.
Oooo! Me likey! That Ken is so smart.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteLove that picture, and great idea-- looking forward to participating in the new idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try and submit something with my new and fancy camera. But it will be from 5 a.m. Korea time. Should be exciting. There is usually some kind of ruckus around our house at that hour anyway.
ReplyDeleteI like the new idea....might also be helpful for me. :) Love the Embrace and you look fab w/out the makeup and shower!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Everyone should be awake!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, Donaldson. Count us in.
ReplyDeleteOk, good idea. I may just try it this time (if I remember) because I was afraid to sign up and have to get up at some ungodly hour ...or forget and be embarrassed. The latter may still occur.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, you look that radiant without a shower, doing your hair or makeup?? I'm sending you angry glances and eyerolls from MN...did you feel 'em? I don't look that awesome with a shower, my hair done AND makeup. I'm jealous. There, I admitted it. You are just too cute :)
ReplyDeleteSecond, since I was clearly caught in the middle of some IRL drama here and missed the Snapshots sign up, can I still join in?? I think it would be so fun to catch what everyone is doing 4-ish on Sunday!! Should be a hoot.
looking forward to the snapshots. You always look fabulous my dear!
ReplyDeleteEverything is changing! Snapshots is changing. Your blog is changing. That fisher cat up there is changing (his expression). I'm about to have a semi-meltdown. What happened to consulting me before you make any and all decisions? Geez. So rude.
ReplyDeletep.s. Okay, 4 p.m. it is. Hope I'm sober enough to remember. #partytime
First off, I DITTO what Sarah said about you looking so darn cute without showering or doing your hair or makeup. You are probably one of those annoying women that an also eat whatever they want and not gain any weight. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSecondly, thank you, thank you, thank you for not making me stay up/get up in the wee hours of the morning again. Regardless, I actually love the idea of getting a glimpse of what we are all doing at the same moment in time. Give Ken a beer for that one!
oops, sent you an email and somehow missed the 4 pm. part, now it's 6....ah well....try again the next time ;-)
ReplyDeletenow I see my problem....I linked straight to Snapshots and didn't finish this blog post...I need to work on focusing...
ReplyDeleteSent myself a reminder but it sounds like so much fun!!!! I really hope I don't forget!!
