Self Portrait Sunday: Pretty Day, Pretty Me!Posted by Alli on April 20, 2008
I’m so silly. My husband has commandeered my camera for a work project, so I took today’s SPS picture with my camera phone. I think it is pretty decent. I tried several times to not squint and not look dumb. Maybe I succeeded, I don’t know. Play along by putting your pretty, pretty face up [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: Tattoos look good on mePosted by Alli on March 30, 2008
This picture isn’t technically a self portrait, but it is of me. And in the spirit of getting in front of the camera more, I think it is fine to post. Cass will correct me if I’m wrong. Our family’s A Game experience was much better than expected. We enjoyed gorgeous weather for most of [...]
Natural, Soft, and maybe StrongerPosted by Alli on March 24, 2008
I received a sample of a new shampoo and conditioner on the market: Naked Naturals. I have a love affair with my hair, and care significantly about the products I use on my hair, but I am not set in my ways. When it is time for me to replace shampoo or conditioner I can [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: Mickey and MePosted by Alli on March 9, 2008
This isn’t a self portrait (obviously) but it is a picture I wanted to share from my Orlando trip. The quintessential picture with Mickey! When our group (Courtney, Trevor, and me!) arrived in Mickey’s Toontown Fair there were two houses- Minnie’s and Mickey’s. You could tour them and take pictures, which I thought would be [...]
I need a presentPosted by Alli on February 12, 2008
Last Friday Damon and I took some time in the evening to look at the stars through his dad’s telescope. We found Mars and I marveled at how clear the stars were. While we had our necks craned backwards I felt something creepy crawly slither down my back. I reached into my shirt, pulled something [...]
Weightloss Wednesday: Keep stroking my egoPosted by Alli on November 14, 2007
I don’t have a scale picture today (but the scale read 213, if you care to know). But I have to share one of the most unexpected and greatest things that happened this week and how it will be carrying me through the next phase of my weightloss. I went to Las Vegas and I [...]
Self Portrait Sunday (on Monday): before and afterPosted by Alli on November 5, 2007
I’m a day late, sorry. I took one picture on Saturday. It was after my shower, right before leaving to get my hair cut and my eyebrows waxed. Ok. And to get my upper lip waxed. It was the first time to get lip service. Ahem. The second picture I took this evening before I [...]
Pure PearlsPosted by Alli on November 1, 2007
If you met me, I would hope you would think I was a very simple person. I don’t dress up a lot (but I like to look nice) and I don’t do “fancy” when it comes to makeup and jewelry. What I have are staples. When I dress up I choose between a few necklaces [...]
Listen to your mom and zip up your bootsPosted by Alli on October 23, 2007
Last week I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new boots. Yesterday the box in a big blue bag landed on my porch and I couldn’t wait to open it. Well, maybe I did wait. It was about three hours until I finally opened it… there was so much going on. But once I [...]
