Self-portrait.

It's a sad state of affairs when a person is forced to take photos of oneself.  In the bathroom mirror.

It was either that or continue to look at the pathetic lone picture that's been circulating the various social media websites.  It wasn't even a recent photo.

D tried to help, bless his heart, but he just doesn't have the knack for portraits.  Granted, shooting into a mirror isn't the ideal set-up for a photo session, but at least I'm kind of in focus, don't appear 30 pounds heavier than I actually am, and my hair looks like it belongs on a human, not a poodle with heat stroke.


The shower curtain in the background makes me laugh.  It reminds me of the backdrops in grade school photos.  I don't even want to think about what grade I'd be in at this point. 30th???

Yes, I know how to smile.  I just can't pull it off in a photograph.  Sad, but true.
