I Tend to Like a 5 o' clock Shadow. Just Not When it's On Me.
So I decided with the exactly 62.8 minutes of totally uninterrupted no-child bliss I would tackle the extremely important and life altering task of changing my blog profile picture.
I mean, it's pretty and all, but since having another baby, living with my in-laws for a year, moving twice, and enjoying a week long "chocolate for breakfast" phase, I'm just way more gorgeous.
Heh.
And therefore, I decided that I must spend my precious childless alone time attempting to take another picture of myself.
Who needs clean underwear in this house? I must update my blog!
Plus, I want people to giggle at my picture, and not stare longingly at me like I'm a really hot model or something.
Right.
Except I didn't do my hair. Or my make-up. Or, as the picture I decided to use clearly emphasized, wax my man-stache.
Thankfully, Katie has effectively rigged my blog so I can only change the template when the moon is in the 7th hour and Jupiter and Mars are in perfect alignment.
Otherwise, you would have been greeted with this beauty the next time you clicked through to my blog.

And feel free to tell me if you see my man-stache shadow. I'm a big girl. And apparently, a hairy one. I can take it.
nice eyes

You have that I just rolled out of bed and I need my coffee look. I don't have a stache, but I do get those pesky long black hairs on my chin. The are very noticeable and I have to pluck them between waxings....Grr...I'm gonna be too sexy when I'm old I can just see it now! =P

Believe me - my personal grooming (and I'm not talking about facial hair) is so neglected I could make a 70s porn star look like she had a landing strip.

Last night at a Valentine's dinner we were playing a game. The sunday school group was passing out money for various reasons to people to use in a white elephant gift auction.
One of the reasons to be awarded money was if you have a mustache. My husband raised his hand and when they got to our table told them I needed to be awarded also. The thing is he was joking but just that morning I had noticed that it was time to wax again. Needless to say I did some man'stache grooming after the kids went to bed last night.

My 'stache is better than yours! nyah nyah... I guess that's not somethin' to brag about, huh? Except for here in Missishitty...

Kudos to you for posting a pic sans makeup. Of course if I looked that good without makeup, I'd do it, too! You're beautiful!

Sorry, no matter how much you tried to look scruffy, you're still a very attractive woman. I hope you're not too disappointed.

Nice haircut!
I could totally make you look like a model in Photoshop in five minutes, tops, using that shot. Whereas, with me, it would take like 30 minutes. And my face would still look lopsided.

Well, it's one of the secrets of your 30's no one talks about....older = hairier. I'm plucking hair from places no woman should.
That said - you still look good. :)

I like the short hair, by the way.

I was sure this was going to be another Brazilian post.
I'm not sure if I'm entirely disappointed though.

nice try. you're still cute.

Oh, Cheryl's comment stole the moment. Too funny.
Love your haircut. And I bet in black and white, you can't see any shadow whatsoever.
Posted by: Fairly Odd Mother | February 10, 2008 at 09:27 PM
Hee and laughing hard at Cheryl's comment. Heck, you'd run screaming if you saw how I looked right now.
Oh and I created these template obstacles to prevent such postings. I kid, I kid!

The hair on my mustache isn't nearly as bad as the hair on my balls.
Oh dear, I guess I should see someone about those too.
Posted by: Michelle | February 10, 2008 at 09:06 PM
The trick is, no flash. You can hardly see it anyway, hehe. Mine is worse, but you will never have proof.

P.S. loving the hairdo, though, for reals.

Ok, I only screamed in fear a teeeeensy bit. Then I snorted cuz you look an awful lot like I do RIGHT NOW.
Posted by: tracey | February 10, 2008 at 07:00 PM
How is it you look younger in the new photo? What magic do you possess?!
I will, say, that you have a lovely 'stache. Almost as nice as mine, if I do say.

Still gorgeous, sorry.
