Self Portrait Tuesday

I just got home from my Book Binding class. It has been a long day. I didn't make it to the shower. If I had not had to leave for class, I would have oatmeal and yogurt rubbed into my shoulder. What little make-up is on my face is from church yesterday... but I have never really taken a self portrait, except modeling my book club shirt. So, what the heck! The challenge was issued and this is my response: I wear glasses to see far away, which means rarely. But they were still on from my drive home. I hate my smile because my gums show, but I love my teeth- all straight with no braces! If I like a dentist or not depends a lot on if he says I have nice teeth :) Silver hoops are the most common pair of earrings I wear. Pony tail is pretty much standard, even though I hate the shape of my face when my hair is pulled back. Kelly calls my eyes aspen. I call them mud. The thing I should have done sooner in life- wax my eyebrows! I love when someone else shapes them!

I love seeing your glasses too. Even though I have seen pictures of you before, this one seems to be you. I love your straight teeth, did your kids inherit them? Your smile is genuine, I love it!

I often associate you with your glasses so it's fun that you're wearing them in your self-portrait.

I don't think I knew that you never had braces! Not fair. You have a great smile and your eyes are NOT mud color!

I love your smile and agree with Amy- I can't remember seeing a picture where you are not smiling! Love the orange shirt.

I love your teeth and your smile as well. And mud? You are crazy, girl. I think more like chocolate! (but aspen is good too) I love your glasses!

I love your self portrait! And I've always been jealous of your teeth. After braces twice, I still don't have teeth as straight as yours. I think your glasses are so cute! Just out of curiosity, are you wearing your awesome orange shoes to go with that cute orange shirt?

What a fun pic! Love glasses. I view my glasses as a real part of me and I always notice glasses. Great smile, too.

So, I see you response, but what was the challenge? You are so cute. I love seeing pictures of you. P.S. My gums show too... I think it's a genetic inheritance.
