HI guys ! What a nice Wednesday ! I got lots of pix to show you today and was so excited to get this up - well except for the last part, but anyway - here goes .....
This is one of my purchases from Monday.... now, I know what your thinking ... I have not now - nor have I ever really carried a purse, but I thought this was super cute. I found it at the Limited Too while Brittany was browsing .... and I actually like it - it is pink ! Wow, can you believe it ? It is super small - perfect - maybe WHY I like it so !
Next are my new shoes, I LOVE new shoes. Not just ANY shoes - tennis shoes. I buy one new pair a year - to kinda treat myself - and they are always tennis shoes. I am not much into shoes for myself because I can never think things are good on me, plus I only have two feet and don't wanna waste money. But I always find the cutest things for my girls ! ANyway - these are mine ....
Well, ya'll know I cannot leave the mall without buying atleast something for one of my kids.... lol... I just had to show these ... they are for Gracie of course and I got them at Gymboree for about 35 dollars FOR BOTH !!!! I was super excited ! They are soooo cute!
Can you tell I like to accessorize ? I can only imagine if I looked good enough what damage I could do. ..lol. Ya' know ya' gotta have the shoes and slippers, hats, sweaters... all the goods ! :O) LOL ! This one is my fave ----- Look at those Pandy bears !!!!!
I love the stuff girls are wearing today, wish I was younger !
Next we have Cameron showing off a puzzle that he got at Toys R Us... they had a sale buy two - get one free, and this is actually a toy he has played with for more than 15 minutes at one time. The puzzles make noises when you lift up the pieces, like moo or oink !
OKay now for the HALLOWEEN part of the blog..... I don't mean to scare you - but this is me..... stop screaming in horror ! It took me a long time to get the nerve up to do this, I HATE, HATE, HATE the way I look. I have those dark cirlcels that do not go away, my hair sucks, it is way too thin and sometimes falls out, my nose is stupid.... I could go on for hours... but here are a few to show and scare you. It is probably the only time you'll ever see any of me for a long time ! Notice - I don't wear any make-up, I don't know how to apply it without looking like a drag queen - so what you see here is the all natural look ... not so good is it ?
OMG ... SCARY ! :o( I look like I might murder someone !
OK - now that I've scarred you for life .. lol .. you can stop scratching the eyes out of your head !
OMG, THESE ARE SO NASTY ! I'm sorry - I must not see what some see - this is just yuk, yuk, yuk. but if you all like to be horrified - here is more ... as good as a scary movie, so I hear !
OMG ----- THIS is what I wish I could look like !
I WOULD PAYYYYYYYYYYY anything too look like this !!!
Stacy Kiebler !
MY PICTURES ARENT SHOWING ---WTH? LEMME SEE IF I CAN FIX IT !
ReplyDeleteThey are showing now!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some goodies! I see you have already started your transformation, starting with a purse! I cant wait to see what you do next!! :)
That outfit for Gracie is SO cute...i luv the slippers!!!!!!!!
I dont see the puzzle picture is that what you were talking about?
oooooooh now that i have read the rest of the blog (haha I HAVE to stop doing that!) I see the pics are not working!
Let me know when you fix them..i really want to see!!!! GOOD for you for trying to stick one up..and hey dont be so hard on yourself..we arent super models here!!
OKAY ---WHOOOPEEE THEY ARE UP NOW !!!! I GOT IT TO WORK WOOO WOOO !
ReplyDeletewow that panda's are ADORABLE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be really honest here because I think you would want me to be!
I honestly think you are really pretty!
Are you kidding me? You have nothing to be down about!! I love the color of your hair and your lips are perfect!
Do you have allergies? The circles that you are talking about happens to my husband alot and he has really bad allergies.
btw I rarely wear make up! Lip gloss because i have chapped lips ALL the time it feels like. I do wear eye shadow everyday but its a neutral brown and it does make my eyes pop some..
I know you were leery about showing us but I am really glad you did!
I LOVE YOUR PICS (HONESTLY)
How frikken cute are those outfits you got Gracie!! I love them!! Nice tennies for you too. I'm with you, I only buy myself shoes once in a great while...and they are usually sandals.
ReplyDeleteI never wear make up...well, only when I'm "dressing up", which is NOT very often. Its just such a waste of time for me since I'm home all day every day.
Thanks Trish ! I was leery, but cause I thought ya'lld run screaming "Oh the horror" .. lol !
ReplyDeleteYa I do have bad allergies, and I was told it could be caused by my alloimmunocombocytopenia (low platelettes) as well, but I have no idea, I just hate it.
I wish my hair looked like Mel's Hair.... but it don't it never has and never will, it is sooo super thin it does NOTHING ! It has been falling out by the handfulls lately too, I don't know if it is hormones or thyroid, I have to go see the doc again.
WooHoo on the shoes! I don't buy myself shoes very often and usually cheap ones. I love Gracies outfits, You'll need to take pictures of her in them. You don't look scary, but I do have a request, Take a picture of you smiling. I think you would look twenty times better smiling!!! You look like your mad or not happy. I just wear lipstick and powder foundation. It's not hard to put on the powder foundation either. So please smile and retake!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteOMG --- WHAT ? you want me to smile ???? AAAAAAACKKKK ! That means I'd have to show my UGLY teeth..... I never - EVER smile. SERIOUSLY. I don't know if I can do that, I will have to think on it.
ReplyDeleteYou are way to hard on yourself!! You just need to realize that you are a good person, and beautiful inside, and it will shine to the outside. And SMILE! I have damn crooked teeth, but I don't care--if I am happy, the world will know it!
ReplyDeleteno --- my teeth aren't just crooked - some arent there .... not front ones, I had braces - but when they pulled them off they were asses and ripped all the enamel off my teeth causing them to rot ... I just had a bottom one crumble last night even, it hurts.
ReplyDeleteOH you don't have to smile with your teeth showing? No teeth smile!! You can do it!! Yes you can!!
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOH - K - JUST THIS ONCE - JUST FOR YOU - GIVE ME A FEW MINS AND ILL POST IT.
ReplyDeleteTHERE !
ReplyDeleteHMMMMMPH.
Oh see it totally changes the way you look! Smile more!! I think you look great!! I think you great in both smiles my friend! Thanks for doing that for me! Keep smiling!! Hugs to you!!!
ReplyDeleteOH I also have to say it makes your eyes spirkle too when you smile!! So always smile!!! People will wonder too if you do! LOL Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat are you TALKING about?! You look GREAT when you smile!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYa Sheri They'll wonder why that UGKY LADY is smiling when she SHOULD be getting Plstic surgery HA HA HA HA ...OK, JK. :o)
ReplyDeleteAll I'm gonna comment on is you look GREAT when you are smiling!
ReplyDeleteOh you are not an ugly lady!!! I agree you look great when you are smiling! Just keep smiling!!! Thanks for doing that for me! Hugs
ReplyDeleteoh my! We do look alike don't we? Or we did when I was a lot skinnier! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou've got gorgeous eyes!
and I love the sparkle in your eyes in that second smile picture! The first one looks like you were in serious pain! LOL Which, I'm sure you were! that's a huge step you took!
Seriously, I am SO proud of you for doing this! Honestly!
And btw, since we do look a bit alike (even you say that), then I'm going to start taking personal offense when you start talking crap about yourself and how ugly you are! So THERE! Think twice next time!!!!
Thank you Windi ... :O) LOL @ the last comment - that's not fair ! he he he !
ReplyDeleteNah...you wouldn't want to look like her...just think of all the upkeep it takes! Diet, exercise...screw that..I'm too lazy to look like that EVER.
ReplyDeleteThose panda's are SOOO frikkin cute!
ReplyDeleteYou do look great when you smile oh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteThose baby outfits are adorable..awww I miss buying that stuff! You look so much better when you smile! Hey we all wish we looked like blondie there..well I'd wanna be a brunette or auburn! I just got a new pair of tennis shoes too...Avia's.
ReplyDeleteI honestly like your pictures especially the last two because you are smiling. I hate any photo I am in as well but I think we are our own worst critic aren't we. I also understand what you mean about your teeth. When I was pregnant for my son I had really bad problems with my teeth and a couple of them broke. I am TERRIFIED of the dentist but thats a whole other story lol.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Pam. We are our own worse enemies and critiques. I look awful on the outside, mostly from weight gain, and I hate my picture taken always. But I know I am a good person and I'm beautiful on the inside, so I don't let it bother me too much.
ReplyDeleteomg...I can't believe u finally did it! yay!! Now I finally get a better idea of who I'm talking to all the time..lol. I agree w/everyone...u have a great smile!! Loved looking at all your pix! That purse is really cute and the shoes. Pink is my fav. color. And those outfits for Gracie r just adorable...I love the little matching shoes that go w/em'. Cute Cute Cute!! My Hubby is taking a day off tomorrow, so a long weekend here. May not be back on till Mon. so in case I don't talk to u till then...have a nice weeknd. We're suppossed to get a little snow here tonight and tomorrow..yay! I don't remember if I told u or not but it did actually snow here Tues. most of the day. It was really pretty! Didn't really stick much but it was nice to watch. I think I'm coming down w/a cold..GRRR! ...I've been so proud of myself...I have gone all Winter without getting sick...and my Husband got a cold the 1st of the week I think...and I was doing fine ...Lysoled everything in sight..LOL...and then last night I woke up w/a sore throat...ughhhh!...so far I feel fine except for that...no other symptoms ..YET!! But ya know what a sore throat usually leads too! So I'm really hoping I don't get a full blown cold. I hate being sick! Well now that I've fussed!..lol I guess I'll go. Thanks for posting the pic.s!!! Proud of ya! ttyl!!! Lots of Hugs, Tammy!
ReplyDeleteAwww, love all the things you bought, they are just adorable. The purse however, way to small for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteAs for your pictures, I'm with everyone else, SMILE!!! Even if it's a closed mouth smile, that's better than a frown. I'm not one that likes pictures of myself either and I hardly ever wear makeup, other than eyeliner. I don't worry about what anyone else thinks of my looks, my attitude is I'm a good person on the inside and that's all that matters to me. :o) Your a beautiful lady and you need to look in the mirror and tell yourself that.
As for looknig like blondie up there! LOL, maybe when we were younger but I don't think there are many women our ages that look like that anymore. That's not realistic to even think that. So go practice smiling for pictures and get one your happy with and lets see it on your profile pic. :o)
Retail therapy = my favorite !!
ReplyDeleteI saw an adorable pair of pink tennis shoes the other day...at FLEET FARM of all places! I used to not like pink, but it has grown on me.
You are too hard on yourself. You are NOT some deformed monster! Your nose is not stupid, I don't see anything wrong with it. Thin hair can be easily remedied by a cut that works with your hair type. You don't have to go anywhere fancy, Great Clips or Fantastic Sam's do a fine job for me. Just go in, tell them what you don't like, and let them do whatever they want on your hair, I think you'll feel like a new woman. I feel SO good after getting my hair done. I can't really see that your hair is thin though! Circles under the eyes - lots of women have that. Which is why lots of cosmetic companies make concealer for it.
But, the fastest make over in the world, is a big smile! Look at the difference in your smiling pic, and your non smiling pics! It makes a world of difference!
Well honestly if I had to choose, I like th non smiling ones of me better, even though I hate them all. i HATE my smile - hate hate hate it, my teeth have thier own story and you can't see it in the pics, but I'd bebetter off with dentures - ha ha - might have to get them soon - my teeth won't stop falling apart on me. GAHHHH- people who have smiles that light thier whole face are so lucky - mine just isn't that way.
ReplyDeleteI really appriciate everything that you all have been saying, but as I looked at those picturs of myself this morning, I just don't see it, I just don't see what I feel inside..... it is just like that "reflection" song by Christina Aguliara ..... that is exactly how I feel. I want to be on the extreme makeover show or something so that someone can bring out my beauty. I know I might be ok inside - sure we all have problems - who don't - I could go on for days of all the crap I think or feel - but what good does it do ? But on the outside I just would like to see what it is you all say you are seeing ---- I just don't. When I look in the mirror ( ha ha yea right I try to avoid it) I see a very gruesome sight, not at all who I think would look back at me, I see someone so over weight - all I can think of is how can I be this fat, I am about 165 or so now and this is fat to me - it is awful - I should stop eating - I don't need to go to restaurants, why does the food have to taste good so that I don't care... I need a taste bud ectomy - so I can't taste the yummy stuff and then won't eat it. I am the fattest person in my family (ugh - could be cuz I am also the only one who don't use drugs) but not my point.
I dunno I just feel like I have glasses on and if I took them off the person that I see is NOT the person that I see now.
I know I am too hard on myself, I will stop being so negative - but it is just going to take a long time to not feel this way. Maybe the plastic surgery I'd like would help or just losing like 60 pounds. When I look in the mirror I want to be somewhat happy with what I see looking back at me, not horrified, not finding every fault. Don't know if that will ever go away.
Ok, I am not depressed today - so I will stop this before i do get depressed or something. lol. Just truth - it is the way I feel - thought I'd share it.
small steps girlie, small steps! It took a long time for you to feel this way about yourself, and it'll take a while to stop feeling it...so go slow!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Matt saw the pictures and he says how we look the same is in the nose! :)~ Other than that, he didn't see a resemblance, but he was surprised when I told him you thought you were really ugly. He said you weren't ugly at all, and that you should smile more! :)
