camera shy

Have you noticed that I rarely show myself around here? I'm not much for being in front of the camera. I shy away when I see a picture of myself. For the record, I don't like the way my voice sounds on tape either. Hhhmmm. I'm going to sorta try to move past this. That was half hearted, wasn't it?!

The thing is, when I surf this cyber world and read all my favorite blogs, I very much like seeing the smiling face behind the words. It puts a real person with the name.

So here you go.

Hi.



It's me.

Do you love the garage? It was dry and hot late this afternoon. It felt good to run on the treadmill in the cool basement for a change. The bangs are new. I was walking by the mirror the other day and saw some scissors and voila...a new look. The thing about bangs is that you want them to grow out almost instantly after you cut them. I know this to be true, but cut them anyway.





This song rocked the end of the run today. When you're ready to quit and walk away, a good song can change everything. I've always loved this one. And I'm loving this easy click and listen grooveshark widget....look for more music in the future!

  1. Ivey! You're too cute. I also love seeing my favorite bloggers, but am camera shy myself. I've been trying to post the occasional picture of myself and just hit 'publish' and let it go, instead of cringing. haha

    Love the bangs. LOVE THAT SONG. I do bangs every few years when I'm restless. You hit the nail on the head. As soon as I cut them, the cute, retro image that I was holding in my mind's eye evaporates and the reality of my third grade hairdo is reflected back at me. Then I spend 2 years growing them back out and by then I forget and think, this time, bangs will look cute on me. WTF?

    But YOU, my friend, look great with bangs. Really sassy and super cute. Also, I love, love, love that song.

  2. I forgot to say, I also like your necklace and your shirt is really cool. Did you embroider it yourself?

  3. Thanks, Kim! I didn't embroider the shirt, but it's such a simple design it would probably be easy! I've had it forever....9 yrs? It came from my sisters store. A friend made the necklace for me, it's labradorite, and goes with everything! LOL on the bangs, I'm dealing, but feel like a phoney in them for some reason. In a few months I can cut in long layers and go for a farrah fawcett-ish look. that's the plan at least. please remind me several times between now and then...NOT TO DO IT MYSELF!

  7. You are too cute!!!! Way to go for conquering camera shy. That's a tough one for me too! And that song by Cake rocks! When I did work out, music was such a must! Thanks for the grooveshark link, I will check it out :).

    I also have to thank you for your sweet words of support today. I started out with a short swim and some strengthening on the bosu ball this afternoon. I think to start I'll just be doing something to get my body moving a little more everyday:). It's scary how quickly I've lost what took years to gain. Thanks again and cheers!!
