I'm an amateur photographer and a bit of an art lover myself (but only stuff that I can understand; "conceptual art" that seems to be art because "an artist" [meaning someone who's been to art school] says so leaves me cold). In this case, I think what appeals is the fact that you're a pure silouette against the sea and sky. “I love having my picture taken”, and it shows through, in a good way.

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:03:41 +0000 http://reinventingsandyb.com/?p=1285#comment-1087 I tolerate people telling me about the same issues they have over and over and do nothing to help or improve the situation. AND I give the same advice over and over and we get in this ridiculous cycle. Extremely slow restaurant staff as well as extremely bad service at stores, I say nothing, and act perfectly nice. Though I hate it. Another is people walking really slowly in a confined hallway or aisle. I just walk slowly behind them, totally annoyed. After I tolerate these things and others I come home and complain about them, though don't change them, wait, what was the first thing I listed?

When it comes to myself, though, I'm more likely to let it pass. I'll feel annoyance then pity for the Rude One. I mean, really, they're the ones going through the day with the poor attitude - not me. What a waste of energy! :) I can absolutely put a rude person on the spot when I’m protecting or defending someone else. When it comes to myself, though, I’m more likely to let it pass.

Truth be told, I love having my picture taken, you know, being the subject of someone's artistic vision, I guess you could say. Problem is, I'm a bit shy at times (wouldn't guess it, right? I know.)

One of the first authors to be introduced into my life at a young ago. Polly, all the way. AS for the image, absolutely! And thank you for asking. I hope you enjoy it - my husband is my very best paparazzi. I absolutely love Lucy Maude! One of the first authors to be introduced into my life at a young ago. Polly, all the way.

Ditto on the stand-in-the-doorway bit. As we troll the city for open houses, I see it more and more - it never fails to trip over some louse standing in the doorway lacing up his shoes. I swear, next time, I'm throwing elbows. Doesn’t it feel great to just, you know, list it?
