Oh dear.

I don't want to admit it, but it may be time for a makeover. My mom and sister have been threatening me for years to send me to Clinton and Stacey on "What Not To Wear," but I really just like being comfortable and don't want to do anything out of my comfort zone when it comes to clothes and hair. I truly hope that I am a good enough and nice enough person that people will be able to look past my frumpiness. Besides, I am perfectly content with my persona, Frumpette, as long as she (and I) stay away from mirrors and cameras.

I know I could lose a little weight and that my hair is in need of something new, but do I really look this bad on an ordinary day? Here are photos that my mom and sister have posted recently on the internet for all to see. Is this the best it gets? I am scared (because I am scary).

Evidence #1:

See that cute boy in the front? Who is hat scary thing in the back? No, I don't mean Ross's knees.


Evidence #2:
Is this the best my sister could find for my birthday post? I didn't even know who this was at first? This frightens me more than the first one. It just looks like a big hairball with some sort of gray jumpsuit on.
Evidence #3:
So, I know my mom really likes this picture because it shows her 3 chilluns. She said some very nice things in this post about us, but come on . . . my rear end is not really that big is it? And, I know I probably have a double chin, but a quadruple chin. Aaaahhhhhh.


Any suggestions?

Time for a new post.

It's no longer Easter. It's time for a new post.
  • I found out last week that I DO have a job at Murray High School next year. Phew! At the moment, I will be teaching Algebra B, Algebra 2, and Credit Recovery (although that is still sort of subject to change). But, what will not change is that there is enough math sectionsto keep me there regardless of whether the teacher I replaced for 1 year comes back or not.
  • James spent his last clinical day for the semester at the IMC today. He only has one week of class left and then finals. Plus, he has no school this summer. Yeah!!
  • We are going on a "Cousing Camp" to Washington, DC in June. There are 14 of us going for 4 days. We are way excited!!
  • I had a painful Stake Primary meeting last night that went on for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Ug! It was not fun. I know that I should support my stake leaders and I do. If they asked me to do something, I'd do it, but come on . . . a 2 hour + meeting? Give me a break.
  • Willie threw the "put" today. He said he did well, but I kind of missed it. I was there, but when I thought they were just practicing, I guess he was really throwing. Oops. Sorry Willie! I will pay more attention next time.
  • Piano/Guitar recital coming up soon. Everyone gets 2 more lessons before it comes. I hope they keep practicing and are all ready! I have 3 kindergartners at the moment who have never done anything like this before. I think we're all a little worried, but I'm sure it will go ok.
  • 31 days of school left!!!
