I love you guys, reading my dribble. I don’t even give you my best stuff as far as writing goes, you get my truth and still I get likes and loving comments. I started this blog and never anticipated it meaning much. The saying, “You get out of it what you put into it,” I haven’t put my heart into it most months but I do put my heart into what y’all are writing on your blogs and I just want you to know that I really appreciate your posts and knowledge.

I wrote a big ole thing and it got lost because I have an old laptop that isn’t updated. Dang it.
Fuck it. I am going to buy a new computer soon.
In the meantime, just putting a face to the words. All the women in my family (Aunts, cousins, nieces) have been paid and pursued for their modeling/ good looks careers and I have been the ugly duck…. over here smoking cigarettes and not shaving my legs and flipping the bird.

I think you’re beautiful. It’s so good to put a face to the words and I do commend you for doing that. I post pics of myself all the time now, but it wasn’t always that way (for many reasons), and now I just say, fuckit, this is who I am.
I think it takes courage to post a photo though, especially if you’ve written somewhat anonymously. ❤

Oh wow! You busted your anonymity, go you. You’re gorgeous and it’s so good to be able to put your face to your words. Diligent leg shaving is overrated, fuck it 😀 My last post was my 100th too.

I didn’t tell anyone my name or all the details, so it’s not that much of a bust. Yes, on the leg shaving is overrated. .. and the eyebrow plucking- actually that I can’t help because I can’t see close up anymore. Well, at one point we had the same Day 1.
I am going to try to produce some better stuff from here on out.
