Just Ten Things

1. When I let myself be photographed on Christmas morning

in 1995 in my gown, there was no internet.

There is no set date as to when the internet started. 

2. Everybody needs a mentor. 

I love mine. 

3. It is incredible how we look up to people and learn 

from them even when we don't mean

to...

they're ways grab hold of you're mind

and personality. 

(sorry Mrs. Lawson! I just had to do that ;)

4. However hard you try to remember 

certain things...they slip away,

which is why video and photos

are so precious 12 1/2 years 

later. 

5. Don't believe anyone who tells you

you can't do something. 

Shake it off and set your goals 

higher than you did the first time. 

Those people are not dreamers like you.

6. Every once in awhile it is good to wear

something totally unlike you.

I just started wearing black this past year. 

My mind was closed to it but I was 

wrong and now I love it. 

7. You can view certain things in your

day as work

or as pleasure. 

Choosing pleasure makes the day more fun

and it goes faster. 

8. Baby boys in our family used

to come one at a time, however

regularly. 

9. The best relationships

might involve 

differences in age and/or

race. 

10. Ten.

Ten pounds is probably what I'd gain if I ate 

this. 

By now you might have figured out that I 

dropped my camera this week and bent

the daylights out of my five-hundred dollar

lens. 

Why on earth did I buy a five-hundred dollar

lens and not use a camera case? 

Until I get my lens replaced,

we, no I, will be using random old

photos on my blog or 

taking something from Pinterest.

Don't tell me you haven't been there.

I've seen you!

 That was you in the blond wig, right?
