I am obsessed. Obsessed. Honestly, has this blog world been revolving for years now while I was, what? oh, yeah, drowning in newborn twins and preschoolers? There are so many woman out there with these amazing, inspiring things to say and share. I have no intentions, or time for that matter, to try and compete with any of the lot, and yet I’m not too proud to steal some of their ideas. They are touting them as “challenges” after all and I’m up for the challenge. Are you?
Here it goes. Self portrait. You. No prep work or make up. NONE. Lots of these have been first thing in the morning before the polishing begins. You must check out Melody’s blog, Slurping Life to see her Truthiness shot. She is my new girlfriend, she just doesn’t know it yet. From there, the piggybacking is endless. (and a really great time suck)
Above is my Truthiness shot. I took it with the iSight camera on my Mac Book while looking at Truthiness shots, so it couldn’t be more unposed or thought out. Figured I should snap something while I was too tired to care. The bags under my eyes are truth. The glazed over look from sitting in front of this computer, peeking in to your lives. Truth. Do you think there are other things I should be doing right now? I’m resting my feet on a full laundry basket after all. Truth: Not a great housewife.
Oh, and while we’re at it, Debi asked us 3 things we wish we could change about our pasts.
1. Why did I buy that extra sheet of Christmas stamps. Seriously, you can’t really pay bills with the Madonna and and baby Jesus and you can’t just throw them away. And they really look tacky next to that Native American Headdress 2 cent stamp.
2. Never should have looked at that cute, 20 year old swimsuit model in the online J. Crew catalog and thought that my mom-of-four body would look anywhere close to the same in said swimsuit.
3. Painted my toenails this yucky color pink, because I’m way too lazy too remove it and way to broke for a pedicure.
Phew. It feels so good to get that off my chest.
I showed you mine, now you show me yours. Go!
Girlfriend – you are a brave woman – I have started about 3 blogs and totally get cold feet after the first couple of posts… Am I crazy? I will send you some links sometime – I know a couple blogs you might like (although you probably already read them…) Anyway, where does the name snake come from?

oh… and about truthiness, Here are my truths…
I have been sleeping so little and surfing so much that the bags under my eyes are glowing purple.
I cannot take a picture right now because the mess behind me (and in my whole house frankly) is so big it will dwarf my tiny little head.
I ate a whole row of samoas as my bedtime snack after my board meeting – that goes right along with my swimsuit workout plan…
JK, this is why I love you :). Okay I will try to get onto this this afternoon. I always feel obliged to keep up with your challenges 🙂
Ok, so I will see if I can do this one…. you know how much I hate taking pictures of myself. (but, I guess since I never wear makeup anyway, it’s not a far stretch from my normal “ugliness” LOL) Maybe I’ll do a first thing in the morning funky hair shot…LOL
Miss you and your truthiness!!!! ~Bre
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! you are th best!
okay, I’ve done mine and it’s not pretty LOL
Love that you did this, I had heard about it on another blog, but I’m not brave enough (yet?) to do one myself! I especially love your “confessions” though 🙂
WOMAN!!! Why didn’t you tell me? I love what you write and your list on this post…it is so me, really. I had no idea anyone else on the planet had the exact same thoughts about stamps of all things!
P.S. Your kids and you are adorable.
