I almost never post pictures of myself here. I’m usually behind the camera and there aren’t many photo taking opportunities, but Saturday found Awana and I at an outdoor Fiber Event. I thought the natural light would be great for taking pictures and Awana was willing to take some shots.
I wore my favorite yellow linen tunic – the one that makes me look thinner than I really am. I was very careful with breakfast so as not to slobber all over myself.
We arrived at the venue unsoiled. And then IT happened. We were putting up the pop-up for the first time and I managed to whack myself square in the mouth with the top of the upright while trying to make it “snap easily into place.”
Awana says I cried a little, but I have no memory of that part. I do remember feeling carefully with my tongue and being grateful I hadn’t broken a tooth. Fuck! My lips started swelling on the spot and I hoped that I wouldn’t end up looking like a loser in a boxing match.
Favorite shirt? Check. New prescription shades? Check. Big ol’ fat lip? Also check.
Sigh. The shades are cool, though, right?
Where did all those gray hairs come from? What about the “anti-glare coating” these glasses are supposed to have?
Gaaaahhhhhhh!!!
I did get hit on by a lesbian, so it must not have looked that bad…

Anti-glare is a huge joke, but I love the shades!
Sorry for the injury! You have great hair and eyes though!

Thank you 🙂 I really thought the anti-glare would photograph better. Soooo disappointed!

Why thank you 🙂 I had to laugh because something like this always happens. I take a horrible picture, despite my best intentions. Sigh. Guess I should try more selfies…

Thanks Willy! The lip is mostly back to normal today – maybe I should take some more selfies 🙂

I think you carry the wrong equipment 🙂

I think the anti-glare is supposed to work from the other direction…to protect your eyes. I think…

Shouldn’t it work both ways? What a disappointment…
