Oh! That's Me!

Well, I figured it was about time... Some of you bloggers have posted little pics of yourselves, which kinda helps us identify with each of you a little better. So there's me--over on the left of this wordiness stuff. I look a little smarky, smerky, smirky, smoky, smurky something so I guess I can't run and hide any more. Good, bad, or ugly--the truth is the truth. I have wrinkles around my eyes--and other places--that verify I'm as old as I am. (Probably from all that smirking, before anyone else points that out.)

But, I have to admit, I kinda like seeing what others look like, so fair is only fair. I'm me and only LOOK like other people. (For over 40 years people have told me "You look just like . . ." Either that, or people begin talking with me as if I were that "Somebody Else.") But this (or at least that) is ME.

CHANGE OF TOPIC.

My daughter acquired, rescued, two very cute little kittens last week from an animal shelter. Or, was it the week before. I forget. Anyway, they are VERY cute, if I haven't mentioned that already. I wish I'd had the camera a couple of times when they were being exceptionally cute, but didn't, so today I've tried to rectify that situation.

Not being professional at photography really gets in the way, you know? Not to mention that kittens (starved for your 100% attention) tend to get in the way, too. In the way of being able to take pictures of their little cuteness. They, the kittens, think it's very important to run up your legs, run up your body to stare in your eyes, eye to eye, and mew the tiniest, softest, most heart-rending mews to keep you from snapping their cute little pictures. (I've not counted, but I'm thinking I may have nearly used up my "cute" quota for the day.) Maybe not.

I'll have to sort through the photos and try to edit out my feet, legs and other body parts not pertinent to cute kitten pictures and see what I can post in the near future.

Well, you certainly don't look like a grandmother of three.

Thanx. Apparently sepia tone softens the age lines, huh? But then, Debby, you don't look as old as you said you were, either!

People say that. It always surprises me a little. I don't feel my age. Maybe that's it...

See, that just makes me nervous, as I have more wrinkles and only one child!!

Pencil Writer said...

Now, Jeanie! You can't really see all the wrinkles I have. I tell you, that sepia tone thing, it does wonders. And I think (spell that KNOW) the four kidslets created more wrinkles than the three grandkidlets ever began to. Now if I can just do like my grandmother did and look as good at 90 as I do now! I tell you, that woman didn't change once she hit 60! I don't know how she did it, either. But her face looked darned near the same 30 years later, and she lived to the age of 96!
