Half way there!

Melissa and Me


yep, that's me! it seems by posting this
picture i am half way over my "photo fear"
this picture is not so much about all seeing
me, it is more for me, to get over my fear
and believe in me entirely!

i am a strong believer in my beliefs, i have
always stood by what i say, or write, i am
outspoken, yet understanding, and try
not be judgmental

i always tell people to write what they feel
believe in yourself, as if you believe in you
then all will believe the same, if i say this
than i must do for myself as well

photos of myself have never been my
favorite, i guess its the idea of me looking
back at me, and saying "yep thats me"
its like reality, staring right at you

my family knows this "photo fear" i have,
they live it all the time, when family
photos are taken, they always know i try to
go in the back and put everyone in front of me

so my nephew put me to the test, he
situated me with melissa (his girlfriend)
and asked her to get real close, when i felt
her besides me, my heart grew and i smiled
and knew that it would be ok!

he saw the picture thru the camera and
said "perfect" he was so right, what amazes
me the most is my nephew at the age of 25
gets me! totally understands me! and carries
me thru!

so there you have it!

me in my backyard, reality!

almost there, yes i am :O)

special thank you too
♥♥Vincent and Melissa♥♥
much love always!

First!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ibebold said...

Carol.. I used to hate having my picture taken... (well since I have gained so much weight)
I look HUGE in pictures.. Oh yeah.. I am Big...
But then i have looked back in my photo albums and it is all my hubby with the pets.. I don't have one picture of me with my Furbabies.. but tons of him.. I decided I need to be remembered too...
So now I will pose for pictures...

ibebold said...

That is a beautiful picture... you need to pose for more.... we want to see your beautiful smilimg face ...and those beautiful Blue eyes!!!!

scirish said...

Mornin IBB

I too have a picture phobia...I rarely look like myself in them...I have no idea why...just not photogenic I guess. It's not all in my mind either, others have commented on it as well.

Carol..I think you look wonderful in that pic and I agree with IBB..more and NO sunglasses!!

ibebold said...

Morning Scirish!!!!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I think in order to take a good picture you have to like yourself. If you hate yourself (as I do) it will show in the picture.

Regarding yesterday's topic. All future breakfasts or other menus provided by me will be subject to a fuel tax as well as a service charge fee.

Have a good day.

Congrats IBB on 1st.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

IBB got first!!! Way to fly in there!

Great picture Carol! You both look so healthy and happy!

Yeah the picture thing is a hard one for me too! I hate having my picture taken. It is not that I think I am ugly but I think I just look dumb and I really hate it since my weight gain.

I will do the picture thing at family reunions and what not, but is just makes me so uncomfortable. I start sweating and worry at my clothes. Tugging and pulling them into place like I am going to hide that extra weight! NOT

I tell myself I am what I am but that little voice says you could be better. Yikes I would just like to beat the hell out of that voice! LOL

I often wonder what other people see when they look at my pictures. Do they see what I see or is it a totally different person that is perceived in their viewing. Hmmm If a tree falls in the forest does anyone hear it?

Shirley: Is that surcharge based on Canada prices or US Dollars?? LMAO

Zona: 99 bottles of beer on the wall....

Scrishy: I guess we have a photo phobia!

Did I see in area 51 that George has dropped his girlfriend?? Man I am almost blinded by the happy grins I see across America! ROFLMA

Whoretina: Get your tongue and hands off my boyfriend!!! I have first dibs!

Waving at everyone!

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Yay Carol, I'm so proud of you!

I'm not a big fan of having my pic taken either, so I understand how you feel.

IBB congrats on being first this morning.

Hi Scirish and Shirley.

Shirley I am willing to pay extra for the yummy food you provide :)

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning - I have Tango walking on 3 legs and shaking so she is worse than yesterday. I will be back when I get my 'baby' seen to.

Jus2xdream said...

Well Carol, ever since you gave me the link, I check out your blog now and then. I happened to look today and saw our pic, so I just had to sign up and leave a commment!!
I must say I was shocked when I saw you posted a pic of yourself, because yes, I know how you feel about that. But just know you are soooo gorgeous...I always thought so and you always will be. And I agress with scirish- you need to show one without the glasses- you have the most awesome eyes I've ever seen! Love u lots~

scirish said...

lynndeeeeeee! I have also wondered about other peoples perceptions. I know I tend to focus on the bits I don't like rather than my appearance as a whole....now excuse me while I go put some make-up on............

iteach said...

Carol you are beautiful!

MEK in AZ said...

THIRTEEN!!!

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - TRIPLE LOVE the pic of you - Thanks for overcoming your fear for us!! You are beautiful..

I LOVE having my picture taken - I LOVE taking pictures and did I say that I LOVE having my picture taken!! LOL - I might not always like the outcome, but you can never have enough pictures..

My family gets SICK of me and my camera - but there are SO many events in life that have gone undocumented - that I don't want to miss anymore!!

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

I woke up as Miss Cranky Pants - my Lilly, threw up on me in the middle of the night and I never did get back to sleep !!! Today is the monthly card clinic and I have a massive headache!!

MEK Ewwwww you need a new alarm clock! Hit the ibuprofen!

scrish: Makeup??? I only wear it on special occasions now. Tho I have many colorful paper sacks! LMAO

IBB: Helloooo photo phobia! LOL I beg to differ there is a pic of me in a Santa suit! hehehe

MEK in AZ said...

Iteach - at this card clinic - they set up six tables - each has a different card - I won't know WHAT we will be making until I get there.. But they supply everything to make the cards (except your tape).

Heck, it gets me out of the house!!
LOL

MEK in AZ said...

IBB - I usually don't post these since I don't "design" them - but if they are fun cards, I will for you!! Heck, I just found last months cards in the little bag upstairs...

When you arrive - they hand you a little brown paper bag with six baggies - each has the paper and all embellishments needed for the card.........

but I think I already said that!!

LOL

man - do I have a massive headache!!

Lynn - it was the middle of the night - AND - on my brand new DRY CLEAN ONLY comforter cover thing for our new bed!!!!!!!! YUCK!!!!

Ha!

Melissa stopped by! Hi Melis!

Thank you, Thank you,

You are beautiful! Thanks for taking the pic w/me and hugging me close...Love ya!

She is jus2xdream, I did not tell her I would be blogging about our pic today, and there she is!

night.owls.sb said...

Mek:
Thanks for welcoming her! I apprecate it....

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn d:
Thanks to you two :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Ibb:
Congrats on First!

I feel the same, I always think I look pretty big in a pic, that is one the reasons I shy away from the camera!

However we are what we are! So I am half way there :O)

night.owls.sb said...

scrish:
Next one, no sunglasses! I am taking baby steps!

night.owls.sb said...

Ebj:
Thank You :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Shirley:
I would gladly pay you a surcharge, however I would need extra food!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

iteach:
You are out of school? So good to see comments from you during the day!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

I am going back to work!

Melissa aka jus2xdream:
Thank you ever so much! And Vincent too♥♥ :O)

Tinkatia said...

I have to wait until 9:30 for the Vet to arrive. Thanks Iteach for expressing concern for Tango. These two doggies are so precious to me. I don't even like to think of the fact that Tango is almost eleven and may not have that many more years left. I will wait and hope it is nothing.

Mek - I am like you. I like to be in as many family pictures as everyone else. We are a big
"picture taking" family. Even the little ones know that when the camera is pointed at you, you smile. My youngest at almost is year is already doing that. I like to be in some pictures. Otherwise it looks like there was a party but I wasn't there. My sister and I used to laugh at the fact that when we looked back at old pictures where we didn't think we looked so great we are amazed at how young we looked or how good we looked. My youngest daughter hated her grad picture. I couldn't convince her she looked beautiful in it. Now she looks at it and says "Hey I looked pretty good in that picture didn't I?". So maybe that's an idea. Take the pictures, put them away for a year and then get them out. You might be amazed at how good you looked.
Vet just called. Must run.

iteach said...

Yes, Carol school is out! I'm starting to feel better, so I can start enjoying it.

Good morning Owls!

Just came back from a morning walk..and it's a little chilly today. I'm hoping for the sun to come out and here's hoping today is a warm (but not too warm, Arizona gals!!!) sunny day for all the Owls!

And there's a ray of sunshine to begin the day with...a picture of Carol and jus2xDream(welcome to the nest!!!)...two beautiful smiling faces!

Tinka...thinking about you and Tango. Keep us posted!

Hope the ailing Owls feel much better today! Big hugs to you!

kahonugrl said...

Carol:

Not only are the eyes blue, but you have a great smile as well. This musta been Memorial Day huh?

Tink: Hoping Tango is ok.

Jus2: Welcome to the Nest!

Off to work, have a great day everyone~

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

Carol....That is an absolutely beautiful picture! You have a beautiful smile. Please share it with us, and the world, more often!

I am like you. I hate having my picture taken. MEK wanted pics when I was visiting her, and so I just goofed off a lot. Horrible horrible pics that I hate, but they are hers. Some of our pics are good, mostly of her! I on the other hand deleted all the pics of me I hated. It's all about control with me. I want to have the option of using the delete button. When someone else uses their camera you don't get to delete their pics. So just about all of my pics on myspace are self portraits. Then I can delete them when I want. I'm getting better about letting people take my pic but I always feel all ooogie in my tummy when it's happening.

I just need to get over it.

Want2Sleep said...

Hi Gang !

Tink, I hope things go well, good luck, I am thinking about you and your fur baby.

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

Want2Sleep said...

My-Bad!!!

ibebold said...

Welcome to the nest Just2xDream!!

Most in here call me IBB...

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

I know Want. Most of us do. Except thos 2 freaks Tinka and MEK!!!! LOL!

I'm trying to get better at letting people take my pic, but I just hate it so much. Sometimes I'm surpised though and think, Hey I don't look so bad in that one!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

ok really...have to go....bbl!!!

Want2Sleep said...

Hi Ibb, how's your back?

ibebold said...

Tinka: Let us know when you get back k?

goldie said...

Swooping in (will try not to poop on anyones head)and flapping a wing!

Wrote a long post this AM and was foaded. The nerve!

Talk to you all later....have a wonderful day.....

ibebold said...

Waving a wing right back at ya goldie!!!

Tinkatia said...

Thank you to those who expressed concern for Tango. I am too tired to list the names but I have them in my head. The Vet doesn't know what is wrong with her leg but was concerned when she heard a serious heart murmur. Tango's heart was beating 220 beats a minute. She was given relaxants for today and tomorrow they will x-ray her foot and her heart. I am very concerned about her. She will be eleven in August. I will write about her after the xrays.

Jus2xdream said...

Thanks for all welcoming me...I'll be stopping by again soon! See ya later, Carol :)

Zona said...

Good Morning!!

CPGEM8: I understand exactly how you feel, I hate to have my picture taken. I hate to even think about having my picture taken. After my mom passed away, and I realized how few photos we had of her in her later years, I promised myself to try and get in the picture more often. As you said, babysteps.

The picture you posted is wonderful and your kindness and happiness shine right through along with your beauty. Thank you for posting it. Melissa is beautiful too.

iteach said...

Melissa- I hope you stop by again!!! :)

grandma moses said...

Big waves to ibb (congrats on first!), scirish, shirley (you are beautiful to feed us so well), lynn d (love hearing about the generous work you do), eastbayj, tinkatia (praying for Tango's little heart and foot), just2xdream (welcome and happy you came today), iteach, mek, vig, kgirl, barb in wa, want, and goldie!!

iteach said...

Shirley-What do you have for all of us owls that have bad colds?

iteach said...

Hi grandma! Have a good day.

grandma moses said...

Carol, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful picture!! Thanks for creating this place! I wanted to have a separate comment just for you!

iteach said...

I'm exhausted, I'm going to go curl up in bed with my three year old. See you later this afternoon.

Zona said...

CONGRATS IBB on FIRST!

LYNND: Bad song...baaaaad song...;)

TINKA: Big {{HUGS}} to you and Tango..I will be thinking about you all day, and praying for you both.

MEK: Yes, you do love to take pictures!! LOL I remember trying to negotiate with you back at the Lonestar Steakhouse with BEAR!

SCIRISH: No make-up in AZ..it melts right off in the heat!!

GOLDIE: Knowing my luck, if your owl flew by and pooped on my head, that's just when MEK would swoop in to snap a picture!! ;)

VIG: "It's a little chilly today..."??? Why I oughta....;)

WELCOME JUS2XDREAM!!

SHIRLEY: Please smile! :)

BARB/WA: I loved the pictures of you that MEK took!

ITEACH: So glad you are feeling better.

Just2Xdream
I agree that Carol has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I seen it on her Myspace and thought Wow!! I wish I had beautiful eyes that "popped" like that. The photo is picture perfect. Next time show off those gorgeous eyes!
LynnD
I love your pic in the Santa's helper suit. It is adorable. You are a lovely person inside and out.I mean who else could be so kind hearted...You were Santa's helper!!!
Hi Grandma Moses!
The first time I met you I figured with that name that I was chatting with an elderly lady. Then one night I went to chat and there was GM with a webcam. Long brown hair and a big beautiful smile.LOL.
Shirley
Surcgarge away! We need to be fed. We are starving.:0)
Tinkatia
I hope your doggie gets better soon. I know your fur babies mean the world to you. I can very much relate to what you are going through. Prayers!

Anonymous said...

Tinka...thinking of you today and sending many prayers and good thoughts to you and Tango!

Zona...sending a little chilly (or chili...vegetarian of course!) your way!

Lynn D said...

Tinka: I am hoping all will be well with Tango! Update us as soon as you can.

Well I am half way through the downstairs dog hair patrol! Crap I could build about 4 more dogs with the DNA I am vacuuming up right now!

Anyone have suggestions for a dog that has really bad B. O. Bathing does not help! She is the smelliest dog I have ever had. Changed her diet no help. The vet says it is just her! She does have weird fur almost oily at times.

Is their a product out their I may not know about?? I hope Amicus pops in maybe she can suggest something.

Lovey and Dianne I hope you two are feeling better!!!

Zona: 97 bottles of beer on the wall...

Ok back to vacuuming madness!

MEK in AZ said...

Howdy..
Miss Cranky Pants is back!!! LOL I still have my headache!!

Barb in WA - I was going to tell the world that you fought tooth and nail about having your picture taken while you were here!! It was like pulling teeth!!! THank you for endulging me!!

Zona - YOU TOO - sweetie -

Tinka - I totally agree with you - the pictures are for REMEMBERING and if you aren't in the pic - it's like you were not there!!

Howdy to everyone!!

Off to grab some lunch - I did drive by DQ and NOT stop!!!

MEK in AZ said...

75 is alive!!!

grandma moses said...

Hi zona and dreama!!
lynn d, it sounds horrible. I don't have an answer but I do hope that Amicus does! Did the vet rule out medical problems? I am sure he did but just had to ask.

Glynis said...

Carol~ When I saw your photo, I saw a pretty lady with a beautiful smile and someone who looked like she would be my friend. Then I found out it was YOU! I wish we lived closer... but I am so happy to call you my friend.

I totally GET your feeling about being in front of the camera. We all need to get over ourselves and let our family have photo memories of us though. It's important.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. I am ready for the weekend!

kahonugrl said...

Lynn:

Had a friend that had a chow, a breed infamous for being smelly especially here in Hawaii where it is always warm.

As long as you know that there are no medical reasons (A bad tooth, Impacted anal glands, Diet, etc....) this is a mixture that helped him. I couldn't remember the ration but found it online.

An Oatmeal based pet shampoo is easy on the skin and coat if you bathe often.....

Amicus do you concur?



Smelly Dog - Vinegar Rinse for Smelly Dog Syndrome


* Bathe dog well in a good dog shampoo
* Rinse thoroughly, get all the soap out
* Mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar to a gallon of water, wet the dog well with this potion and leave on for 10 minutes.
* Rinse dog well.
* This last step is optional: Use a good pet hair conditioner of the type you leave in the coat and towel dry the dog.

Both you and Melissa are gorgeous~ Thank you for taking that step~

I don't care if someone takes my picture....until I see it! But you know what? That's what they see....so I guess that's okay! We are crackwhores anyway!!! :) (oops! Does Melissa know that?) :D

Tina~in_ut said...

Jodi said...

Just jumping in to say Hi before I have to tuck all the kids in bed!!!

TINA & TURTLE - Hoot Hoot!!!

Amicus said...

Good Evening Owls!

Carol: That's a great pic of you and Melissa! Congrats on the baby-step!

Jus2xdream: Welcome to the nest!

Tinka: You and Tango are in my thoughts and prayers. {{Hugs}}

Jodi: That Les Mis song I put on MySpace is in memory of my Cosette. I lost her two years ago this month, and I still miss her with all my heart.

Lynn: The odor and oily coat can be symptoms of a skin problem so I recommend getting a second opinion from a board certified dermatologist. Unfortunately, it's been my experience that general practice vets aren't the best at diagnosing skin and coat conditions. If you have a vet school nearby, that's where I would go.

Turtle: Oatmeal shampoo is used to treat dry skin and coat, because it's a natural humectant. Using it on an oily coat can worsen the skin condition since there's already a problem with excess moisture. The vinegar rinse works well on skin problems like yeast infections, but without seeing the skin and coat, I'm hesitant to recommend it. Topical treatments like these have specific purposes so a correct diagnosis needs to be made first.

Waving HI to everyone! Have a great night!

kahonugrl said...

Amicus:

That is why I prefaced it with checking for any conditions.

I was not clear in my earlier e-mail about using the Oatmeal Shampoo on a dry coat/skin, so thank you for clarifying that.

This is why I tagged you on my post, to catch my mistakes.

Tina~in_ut said...

kgrl~ mistakes? I thought you were perfect! :D

hi amycussho and hodi~

MEK in AZ said...

OMG - this is SO sad, cuz it made me think of cpgem's blog about laughter!!

Harry Korman died today!!

MEK in AZ said...

OOPS -

HARVEY!!!!!!!! crap!!

what a time to have a typo

Lynn D said...

Hey Gang!

Thank you Kgirl and Amicus!

She has always smelled this way and the people we got her from said she is part chow and dalmation. I did not believe them but I am thinking chow may be it!

I will do some more research! She does not seem to have any skin conditions that I can tell it looks pretty healthy!

Tina: I have many lovely paper sacks! You can borrow one anytime! LOL

MEK: I saw that about Harvey Korman. Made me very sad! I did not here what he passed away from tho. Great Talking to you!

Ok off to check email and then getting ready for the season ender of lost!

Everyone have a great evening!

goldie said...

Just wanted to say goodnite- actually, did I ever say hello?
Been a crazy day.

I promise to take pics of Jodi if she pierces her pasties on!! Bring the camera Jodi- we will be using yours.....

I forgot to answer your question

Yes, the pic was taken on Memorial Day at our BBQ in our backyard!

night.owls.sb said...

Oh no, Harvey Korman passed!

And I just posted that video, not to long ago.

What a funny man he was :(

Amicus said...

Turtle: What I typed in my earlier post is basically the same spiel I give my clients. Topical treatments only provide a temporary solution, like a band-aid covering up the underlying problem. Until the actual cause is accurately diagnosed, the symptoms will continue to return. Unfortunately, a lot of clients aren't willing to spend the money on specialists and tests so providing temporary relief is the best I can do for their dogs.

Mo: Doing a happy dance for you! Congratulations!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Want2Sleep said...

Hey, I'm not sleeping.

Want2Sleep said...

kahonugrl said...

Weenie!!!!!!!!!!11

Doin the Turtle Hula for you~

CONGRATZ~

kahonugrl said...

hello Want!

night.owls.sb said...

want:
should you not be sleeping?

Want2Sleep said...

Hey Turtle,

Shorty didn't decorate the car for Memorial DAy.

Want2Sleep said...

Well, you're probably right Carol..

Thundering here now.

kahonugrl said...

Oooh..... she is slipping

Maybe she is saving for an all out July 4th decoration?

Want2Sleep said...

She said the car was too dirty, I said you have a 17 year old, use him! (to wash the car)

kahonugrl said...

hello!!! or the daughter that can't seem to wash the spoons

Want2Sleep said...

Well, it's hard to keep up when you only have 2.

JoeyfromSC said...

Congrats on first IBB!:)

Checking in before bed..It's been a weird day! More on that in a minute...

CAROL!!! LOVING your pic!!!!! You should take more..you're so beautiful!!

I hate pics of myself too, but I'm fat! lol

Okay, why in the world would ANYONE steal a trashcan with wheels, from the curb!?!?! LOL

It boggles my mind and had me so upset...I was ready to hunt people down! lol

I just found it very odd...Y'all have a great Friday!!

JoeyfromSC said...

160 LOL

Want2Sleep said...

Go get em Josephine !

Maureen said...

CAROL...you are beautiful. And I just knew it, even before I saw your picture.

MELISSA...thanks for giving CAROL the strength she needed to do that. VINCENT...thank you too! And MELISSA, welcome to the nest! I want to give you a little insight...it is the highest compliment if someone ever calls you a crackwhore! We all strive to become one! And...if you can get on the naughty mat, then you really arrived!!!!!!!!!

SHIRLEY...So good to see you! And I will gladly mortgage my house to pay your surcharge! You totally deserve it. AND...don't hate yourself...we LOVE you!

OK...the scoop in a nutshell...I was offered a perm position today. It isn't the one that I really wanted, but it is a perm. spot just the same. I will start in the new area (same building) on June 8th, but they are making it post-dated to May 28th so my health insurance will kick in on June 1st.! It is only $2 an hour more, so I need to stay at the hell hole at night! But...when I walked in the hell hole, the owner pulled me asisde and told me 2 things...1. I am the only one there that has a clue and gives a shit, so he wants me to train the new people he hired. and 2. when I get my paycheck tomorrow, it will be reflecting the RAISE he gave me! Woo HOO!! Maybe now, I will be able to break even each month!!

I said yesterday, what a difference a year made in my life...and not in a good way. And now I say what a difference a day made.

THANK YOU ALL for your support and loving words and thought. I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!

So much for my writing anything in a nutshell!!!

{{{{hugs}}}}

Want2Sleep said...

Want2Sleep said...

kahonugrl said...

Hmmm what should be her penalty?

The naughty mat is her usual playground so that just won't do.
