Adirondacks in August and Dc in June, I did not really exist (on photo) for the past year. I wound up not even making a Christmas card because the only pictures I had of myself I was wearing paddling gear or sweating my ass off and it was less then flattering. I actually had ZERO photos of myself, my husband and my niece (who lives with us) together. CRAZY! I mean, lets face it...Im 28 (ok, Im 29)...I have no kids for anyone to take pictures of (which it seems is the major trend in people my age, but alas, kids are not really in my life plan), I didnt graduate from anything, didnt get married (been there, done that), or do anything "MAJOR" this year and people dont really want to look at endless pictures of my dogs ( although I would, becuase they are REALLY cute dogs).....
Anywho, I then decided that it would be great if I tried to take a "photo a day" and post it on a blog (for pretty much no one to read) so I at least had a record that I existed in 2011.
Combined with this, its New Years and time for resolutions. Lets face it, making my traditional "Im going to lose weight" resolution just frankly is a crock of shit and is not going to really [ever] happen, at least not to the extent I delude myself with each year . However, I have noticed ( and my husband and various other friends/family/enemies have pointed out)that I tend to be a bit of a pessimist.....ok, I dont "tend"...I AM a pessimist. As a matter of fact,I previously had a blog and noticed that MOST of my blogs turned out to be complaint sessions. I have decided THIS year, that my resolution will be to TRY to be more optimistic. Now I am not saying that I will always be cheerful and happy and Susie-sunshine and shit about everything...however, I WILL try to find SOME optimism in things and I figure one of the better ways to do this would be through pictures...so VOILA!
So here is my first photo - this is ME trying out out new sleeping bag pads...yes, I realize that I am boring but my husband boght me this AWESOME sleeping back last year called a Big Agnus bag and it is a top-rates sleeping bag taht I can use in up to zero-degree weather...not that I plan on camping in ZERO degree weather, but it can get chilly in the FAll. This bag is especially awesome b/c MY version is a "womans" bag and is specially designed to fit women. Anyway, we just bought the sleeping air mattress pad at EMS today and decided to set up "camp" in our family room. It was quite warm and cozy and I didnt want to get out of it!
From what I've seen on HBO, you substitute latex for the sleeping bag and what you've got is a fetish.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've made my stereotypical Jess Ardis comment, I will tell you becoming an optimist feels a lot better than always being angry at the world. My fb updates may not always reflect this, but I've been making the journey myself for sometime now, and it's such a better way to live. Just be persistent!
not quite the picture for the 2011 Holiday Card, but it's a start ;)
