Jenni, I'm not a blog tease.  I'm a busy woman.  Summer vacations are very demading, you know.  Sheesh.  BESIDES, I've just been waiting for a worthy reason to blog, and you, my dear, have provided me with one.  A meme!  A PHOTO meme!  It doesn't get any better than this, folks!

1.  Share the worst photo of yourself you have, preferrably a recent one.

The possibilities here are endless.  I am forever making silly faces anytime someone points a camera in my general direction.  Lots of these pictures have already been posted online.  Here are some examples:




I can't forget this one:



Oh, and this one:

 

But we all know the picture you really want to see.  It's the worst picture ever taken of me.  And I know I said that I would never show it to anyone, but that was before some wounds had healed, and now they have.  Besides, it's important for you to know that if you're going to be friends with me, you will, at some point in our relationship, see me crying.  And I don't mean quiet, ladylike, dab-your-eyes-with-a-hanky crying.  No, no.  I'm talking about the full-on, cathardic, wailing-like-a-baby, snot-running-into-your-mouth type of crying that only happens when a well-built dam in you breaks under the force of an emotional earthquake that would blow the Richter scale out of the water.  It's the risk (one of many) you take when you chose to be my close friend.  

But anyway...the picture:  

1.  I was drunker than I had ever been in this picture.  I threw up about 15 seconds after I opened one eye to take it.
2.  I had been crying for a good 30 minutes by this time.
3.  Yes, Tara always looks that good.
4.  The guy is Scott - the buyer of the drinks that got me so drunk to begin with.  He and Jake (riding in the front seat) had just finished serenading me with "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"...they didn't sound anything like the Righteous Brothers, and it was an incredibly inappropriate song choice, but the sentiment was nice.

2.  Share a current photo of yourself when you've just woken up.  Walk into the bathroom and just take it, under the harsh bathroom lights.

This is as good as you're going to get because I don't really want to wait until tomorrow to take another one:



It's right after I got out of the shower, which is exactly how I look when I've just woken up - just with wet hair.

3.  Share the nicest photo you have of yourself.  Again, preferrably a current one.  

My favorite recent picture is this one of Jenni and me:



We haven't had a decent picture of the two of us in I don't know how long, so when she came to my party last weekend with THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAIR EVER, I knew it was the perfect time to get our perfect picture. :)

This one isn't so bad either:



That's my nephew, Julian.  My brother took this when we were eating at Texas Roadhouse, and it's my favorite picture of us.  I just love how happy he looks in this picture.  

I don't actually have any pictures of me looking NICE, like in a dress or anything because I'm not cool enough to go to any kind of event that requires dressing up.  Sooomedaaay...

4.  Special category -- whatever you'd like!!
