UPSTATE IN GOD KNOWS WHERE

Notably, most people with blogs of themselves and their boyfriend/fiance/husband to be have the editorial sense to post flattering pictures of themselves. I am not alone on this. But, good editors also know NOT to post photos that are too ego centric either. I mean, no one wants to read some personal diary about a someone who is a tad too vain-glorious, right? Nobody likes a whistler. Nonetheless, this site, by it's nature is narcissistic, so the question becomes: how does one post gracefully? I think about this more than I should and can't help but wonder just what kinds of jackasses are up here talking about themselves?

Well as a kind of critical mea culpa, this site WAS and IS designed for my parents and family that I get to see far too little, so I feel it's OK to share the kinds of photos one might only see in the just back from Rite Aid with the white envelope, have a look kind of candor.

That said, the picture below wherein I am gazing [ever so prettily, I might add] is one of those pictures that others with big dumb blogs should think long and hard about posting. But post I will as this particular picture was taken after I'd had about three too many margaritas and was actually performing for the photographer, who if you look carefully, is finishing off the last of my cocktails. How do you like that, Mom? Dad? Yepper, I'm plumb loaded here and pretty as I may be, I can't hold my liquor.

This post goes out to all of you ironic sorts. Lovely flowers are even better when crushed by a boot. Godspeed Y'all.
