Tom and I got dressed up and went out for a date night last night at Tony’s Oyster Bar. We looked so good I made him take a picture of us, lol. We used the self timer on my camera so I figure it counts as a self portrait.
Tonight I was going through my pictures and saw a few I’d taken with friends over the years, so I thought I’d include them in my SPT post.
Kelly and I about 3 years ago

Happy Thursday everyone.
I snapped a quick picture on my lunch break, today was kind of crazy and rough but I survived. I think the only thing that kept me from losing my mind at work was the fact that I’m off for a WHOLE WEEK next week. Thank Goodness! I’ll be in Raleigh for most of that time taking a much needed break from reality.
I thought I’d throw in a pic of my new favorite necklace, I got it last month at Target. It’s simple and delicate, I love jewelry like this.
Went over to Jackie’s for a girl’s night in. We watched movies and gave ourselves pedicures.
Red toenail polish is always my favorite.
We watched Couples Retreat, it had some funny parts, overall an ok movie. It was fun getting together and hanging out with just girls, I hadn’t done that in a while.
Yay, I’m finally getting better at this! Here are some self portraits that don’t suck:
Wow my hair is getting long…
With the Hello Kitty coin bank my Dad just sent me.
While I still won’t call myself a photographer, I think my photography skills are getting a little better. My house has terrible lighting unless it’s during the day and then the natural light is pretty nice, so I decided to take these during my lunch break.

So I caught a cold today, I’m not too happy about that. I’ve been taking vitamins till they’re coming out of my ears and blowing my nose all day. I had to put on extra makeup for these pics to cover the redness, ha ha.

Dad sent me another “care package” with this ceramic Hello Kitty coin bank, a black satin mantilla from spain, and some other goodies. The mantilla is like a shawl with fringe, this one has beautiful golden roses embroidered on it. It’s so pretty, I can’t wait to wear it.
I found a poncho I knit a few years ago in the back of my closet. I remember liking to knit this because it went so fast but the yarn is so soft it sheds like crazy. Which is why it was in the back of the closet.
As you can tell I kind of suck at self portraits but that’s why I need to keep working at it. I also have a hard time finding good lighting in my house, it drives me crazy. Oh well, I’m no photographer that’s for sure ha ha. Hopefully there will be some improvement with them over time as my self portrait skills improve.
Sitting in the lobby at work
Today was pretty rough at work, I had the meanest most difficult customers I’d had in a while.
I’ve been working in a call center for about 5 and half years now, I know how to calm people down and let the nasty comments roll right off my back. But a few times a year you get a REALLY bad one. Then your day just goes downhill from there.
I was so glad to clock out at the end of the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I started a group on Vox a while back called Self Portrait Thursday based on the Flickr group of the same name. At first I posted pretty regularly but then I kind of dropped off. So I thought I’d start posting a self portrait here on Thursdays. Here’s the first one, not too exciting but I was actually between bites of spaghetti, lol.
