Picture This: Come As You Are

Alright, who has been invited to the Come As You Are Blog Party?? I haven't. But guess what? I don't mind being a party crasher. HA! So, I'm jumping right in here in this cool meme. Amanda said I could and she got tagged by Nell. Anyway, if party crashing isn't pushy enough, I'm inviting all of you too. I'm generous that way. Do you think the meme gods will be upset with me? Whatever.

So, here's the deal, to join the fun, you must take a photo of yourself RIGHT NOW. And then tag 4 friends. Or 400 friends, your choice. Then write a little something about the photo (like um, why you look like you do in it). No, it's not an apology thing, because just as the title suggests, it's a "come as you are" kind of thing. I love the idea because it strips everything away and gives us some insight into each others *real* lives. Or at least it shows how totally crappy we can look when we're not prepared to have our photos taken. Either way. So, here's me. Right now.

I'm just finishing up this post, and needing to be out the door to pick up my 4th grader from school and my 3 year old from Grandma's house in about 5 minutes. I used the camera closest to me and that happened to be my fancy one (besides the memory card is full in my point and shoot). The lens on the camera is a compact macro fixed 50mm lens. In case anyone cares. I think Melissa asked recently. Anyway, I cut my own hair a few days ago and not sure what to make of it. I do sporadic things like that because I can. It's only hair. Big deal. Oh, and I'm usually more blonde. But, I dyed my hair a few weeks before I cut it. I told you I was like that. I have no make up on which I guess isn't big news since I rarely wear it anyway. And, well, that's I all I've really got to say about it. Just me, as I am. Reeeeally reeeeally close. Thank you macro lens.

Now, it's YOUR turn. And pleeeeeeeeeease leave a comment with your link when you do it and in a week or so, I vow to post a list of everyone who participates. I want to see you as you are. I really do! It's only fair.

Jump in the Pool
