On Sunday G-man posted several demotivational pictures of himself. They made me laugh and I asked where the site was that allowed him to do that. He told me but then went one step further by sending me some more of his own handiwork in email. It cracked me up so I offer his efforts as this week's Slice of Lime.
Remember this little number I threw together as a last minute Halloween costume? Yeah, ok, so that was just a costume. Today I present you the real deal courtesy all those slides I scanned at Mom's last weekend.
Here I am in all my hideous, touristy geekdom during my first trip to Trinidad in 1989.
Seriously, could those sunglasses possibly be any bigger? We're not even going to mention the blouse. Someone get this girl some tie dye, stat!
In case you're curious, those things I am holding are a fruit called chennette. Groovy little things. You crack the skin open with your teeth and pop out a seed nearly as big as the skin but which is covered by a slimy film of fruit. Suck the pit clean and spit the it in the street. It all sounds kinda gross but the things are yummy with a faintly grape-ish taste to them.
Remember me mentioning running out in the middle of the night with Diana to get snacks and loosing the photographic evidence of our adventure. Well, here's a little hint. Just add a blearier look and bigger bags under the eyes and ill fitting sweatpants with really horrible slip on shoes. All so Diana could have cheese curls and I could have a giant bowl of Reese's Puffs.
Yesterday was supposed to be crazy hair day for staff and attendees of VBS. I never got that memo. I could have done some really craziness as evidenced by past dos.
The Cousin Itt look.
The "how to deal with head lice when no one will pick your head for you " look. Only time in the last 28 years I've had short hair. Crazy in it's own way.
The "you are seriously working on my last nerve and making me wanna tear my hair out by the roots" look.
Or what I finally settled on. This is what I call the "I found out 5 minutes ago and I have 50 crafts to prep after starting my day with an argument" look. Good enough? Well, it's gonna have to be.
