Musings

At 39

March 8, 2013

That time of year again…

I usually take an annual glammed up self portrait around my birthday.  A nice picture of me that I can frame up for the hubby and just for posterity’s sake.  I usually forget to print them, though.  This year I actual have several “self portraits” due to this blog, but I thought I would do it anyways.

I’m only about a month or so late on this…and these were taken about two months ago.  I am obviously a bit busy lately.

Work, work, work…plus I have been reading trashy romance novels into the wee hours of the morning when I get a chance to relax.  I just haven’t had the energy to do outfit shots lately.

I had dyed my hair the day before, so it is very fresh color.  It fades over a few washings and then kinda sticks to the light auburn color you usually see in my pictures.

I am wearing a $10-15 stretch velvet dress I bought at TJ Maxx about 15 years ago.

Make-up done by me.  Oh, how I love make-up.

I once had a guy friend come over, so I could do his makeup for Halloween.  He was dressed as a girl with big fake boobs and everything.  He got hit on at the bar that night by a guy who thought he was a girl.  I am that good. 😉

I gave my hubby a 5×7 of the two pictures below for his desk at work in his Valentine’s Day card.  The last one he had was about 7 or 8 years old, so it was time for a refresh.

Hopefully, I can get a few outfit pictures taken during the week again. Need to get to bed earlier, so I have a few minutes in the morning before rushing out the door.

Lately sleep has been winning!

  1. You look a model. You should model. You also don’t look anywhere near 39.

    I love your hair color. I know you use three boxes of color. My hair is thick and down to my shoulders now – should I do TWO boxes of color for more amaze-ball fiery red?
