it's time to talk about it.

i have been meaning to blog about this for sometime. i don't know why i have put it off for so long. maybe it was just too hard to talk about. maybe the effects of it were just still so fresh and raw, that i just needed time. who knows. but i decided it is time to talk about it.

back in the day you may remember when i bought the most expensive bag i have ever bought in my entire life. i loved it. i loved the color. i loved the style. i loved the pattern on the inside. in fact this exact purse sparked my obsession with the color mustard yellow. (see my new blog colors? i have an obsessive personality) i assumed since i had impulsively shelled out more money than i could actually afford, that this purse would bring me all sorts of good luck and magical powers. i imagined all of the experiences and memories that we would share together. i was so happy.




but then it all changed.

i think the purse gods were punishing me. the first week that i bought the purse, we went out to eat at ruby river. and i was eating the sourdough bread they serve before the meal comes out. i love that stuff man. anyway, i love butter. so of course i was covering my bread in butter. and then something happened. i don't know exactly what.. my recollection of that night is a little hazy, but the biggest appendage on my hand (had to be my freaking thumb) managed to touch the purse and leave a huge greasy thumbprint right on the front of the purse. i swear. so i of course freaked out and spent the rest of the dinner trying to wipe of the smudge. i think i made it worse. but over time it somewhat faded and i got over it.

then another time i decided to go see a movie about a vampire and some pale chick and i got talked into buying a huge cup with a shirtless werewolf on it. umm.. sorry i couldn't just say no to that. so i buy it and i watch the movie and then the movie gets out. well the funny thing about this purse, is that i was so afraid i was going to ruin it that i put it inside of one of those recyclable stylish dollar bags. you know the thing you put your groceries in? well it was its protection. but it sucked at doing that job. you know why? because apparently it's not a good idea to go to the bathroom, hang up the bag, and put your big shirtless werewolf cup that is mostly full of diet coke inside of the bag. because the chances of it spilling all over the entire bag, plus your camera and phone are very likely. WTF was i thinking? i would like to blame it on the fact that the lid manufacturer needed to make a better, more secure lid. but whatever. who puts a cup in a bag? i came home and gave the cup to the dog to chew on because i was so mad.

so i get through this tragedy and i noticed that every time i wear jeans with this purse, it stains the back of the purse blue. and if i try really hard i can get the blue off. but it still looks stupid. and no matter how much leather protectant i put on it? it still stains blue. so i created the purse diaper to put on the back of the purse. and it worked wonders for the time being.




i now had protection from outside sources. but then i over looked something.

i have frizzy hair k? and sometimes most of the time i wake up late and don't have time to dry my wet hair so sometimes i might put my hair serum in my purse to put in my hair after it has dried so it is not so frizzy. i even put it in a plastic bag to protect it from leaking. well one day the lid magically opened and the bag zipper "just happened" to come undone. and the results were devastating. i must warn you. the picture below is disturbing.




and it managed to be on the top of the bag and the other side of the bag. this picture was taken after trying to clean and blow dry it for an hour. i was in tears. the funny thing about this was that i was almost out of serum. i don't get how this much serum happened to appear and get everywhere.

i seriously hate this bag. it has caused all sorts of drama in my life. it has caused me more anxiety that i anticipated. constantly having to cater to it and bringing other bags to put it in, creating purse diapers to protect it, spending hours cleaning off stains? it was not worth it. i am telling you now.. my $15 purses from target do the trick. if it gets stained? so what? it was $15. i have no problem putting it on the sticky movie theater floor. it doesn't require a purse diaper. what is the point of a cute yellow mustard purse if you can't even display it because it's hidden inside another protective bag? yeah. not worth it.

anyway, i hung it up in my closet and swore to never touch it again. well a month or so later i saw it hanging up and looked at it. the stains were almost completely gone! in fact, where the oil had touched? it looked better than the rest of the bag! so i thought i would give it another go around christmas time. heck, maybe i should cover the whole thing in hair serum??

well sean had me hold onto his candy cane junior mints at the movie. actually i don't remember him asking me to hold them. i think he just put them in the bag. and didn't secure the cardboard lid. because they spilled all over my bag and melted. so yeah. this bag and me? over. we are done. we BROKE up. so i am on the hunt for a new,cute, CHEAP bag. if you see of anything let me know.

anyway, i guess some good can come from bad. i am obsessed with mustard yellow. i think it's gone a little to far though. as you can see...











i got the butter dish, yellow plates, and recipe box at the antique store this saturday. i love them. i got the shelf at D.I. and painted it up and fixed it a little. unfortunately sean can't find a place in the house that he likes it so it is sitting on the top of our fridge. i made the mail box. okay i didn't make it but it was black before and i painted it and distressed it a little and wrote mail. anyway the moral of this story is that i love mustard yellow. and i hate expensive purses. and i am obsessive, impulsive, and all over the place. and i love sean. that is all.

snow white.

once upon a time i was talking with sean about stuff. somehow the conversation of snow white came up. sean was under the impression that the dwarves were snow whites children. because they all looked young? do they look young to you?

dopey is the only one without a beard! also he thought that there were 12 of them. not 7. and he was "99.9% sure" that doc was snow white's husband. this is the end of the story because i am pretty sure i was speechless after that.

maybe you had to be there? hence the new phrase on my header. and if that didn't make you laugh like it made me laugh, maybe you should head over to this blog. my new blog friend jamie is featuring one of my most embarassing stories on her blog for her time to laugh series!

thirty questions.

i have seen this 30 question things on a few blogs so i thought i would try it. here goes...

1. When is your "marriage" anniversary? "Engagement" anniversary?
March 13th, 2009. as for engagement? November.. oh crap. sean always quizzes me on this and i forget! i know i am awful. but if its any consolation, it was a random weekday..but i know it was right before thanksgiving.. i am gonna go with... Tuesday, November 25th 2008.


2. Where/how did you meet your spouse for the first time?
We actually met in high school, probably when we were about 16 or 17. but we were reacquainted when i started working at first colony mortgage in 2008.


3. How long have you known your spouse:
well if you are going off of when we first met, then 7 or 8 years. but we didn't really get to know each other until 2008.


4. How long did you date/court before you were engaged?
hahaha. i hate this question. i never EVER thought i would be one of those people, but it was about 2 months. maybe a little less. and i hate answering that question, but, i felt like we dated a lot longer because we were with each other 24/7. and as cheesy as it is... when you know you know. and my mom always says, "when you meet the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to begin right now."

5. Do you have any children:
No.. not yet.

6. Do you have any house pets:
yes. a crazy, insane, adorable yellow lab named moses. he is 8 months now.


7. What are some of your favorite activities together:
well, we like to do different things. i think he pretends he likes to watch movies with me and i pretend that i like to do outdoorsy things with him. but we both enjoy watching sports together, eating, and playing with our puppy.


8. Do you have a favorite vacation spot:
we love vegas. i don't care if that is trashy. we love it. we also like pebble beach and anywhere in wyoming.


9. Where was your first date?
haha. well on our first official alone date sean thought he was taking me to a Josh Groban concert. turned out to be john schmidt, but i thought it was better than josh groban would have been anyway. and also it was hilarious cuz he was like "tickets are way cheap!" and i was like "really? for josh groban? did you already get them?" and he said "no, we just get them at the door." i knew right then we probably weren't going to see josh groban. which was okay with me.

 we also went and ate at chili's and he could not stop watching the football game on tv. it was pretty funny. he felt bad about it. it's not like he was bored but it was a really good  game or something... also at the concert he was pretending to lead the music while we were sitting in the audience and i was so embarassed but i also could not stop laughing. i knew right then that this was something special.


10. When did you first kiss?
about 2 weeks after our first date.. maybe like 10 days? we went down to vegas with a bunch of friends and the 2nd night we were there we were just talking in one of the spare bedrooms. it was one of those deep conversations that had been going on for about 3 hours. i decided to "shun" him like dwight and jim do on the office for something that he said. he said "fine" and he rolled over to the other end of this huge king size bed. we laid there for like 10 minutes. neither of us budging. and finally he said "chloe, i don't want to be shunned anymore. i don't like it at all." so he rolled over next to me and kissed me.


11. Who said I Love you First?
well. this is up in the air. sean sort of tricked me into saying it. we were driving through the canyon one day and sean was talking in spanish and i started repeating all of the spanish that i knew. so i said "yo Quiero Taco bell." then i said "yo Queiro Sean." and he said, "Do you know what you just said?" and i said, "I want Sean?" and he said no, "technically you said I love Sean." i stood there frozen for a minute and he didn't say anything and it was kinda awkward. then i was like "well those taco bell commerical's are full of crap then."  and then it was silent again. then finally i was like "well, what if i do?" and he said something like " i'd be down with that." i don't know im sure it was more romantic but when we got out of the car he said, "hey. Sean loves Chloe." cue sappy love song.


12. Did you get married in a church?
No we got married in the Provo Temple.

13. Do you get flowers often?
Sean gets me flowers every once in a while! he knows the key to my heart is chocolate though. or candy. or a diet dr. pepper with extra ice to give it substance.


14. Where did you go on your honeymoon:
Vegas. but our first night we spent at the Zermatt in Midway.


15. How long did you know each other before you started dating?
well.. like i said earlier.. 6 or 7 years.. but really we didn't know each other that well back then. so i would say we pretty much started dating right when i started work at my job. he was flirting with me at the company luau and he stole my phone and put his number in there as "the man." that night he showed up at my softball game. i wasn't sure if he would even come because he had tons of homework. all the sudden i look out into the stands and he is talking with my parents who he had never met. okay he had met my mom earlier that day at the company luau. but still! i was impressed with his bravery.


16. What do you call each other most of the time?
he calls me chlo-bo. i call him pookie, and seanie.


17.Where do you each work or go to school?
we both work at first colony mortgage and sean goes to school at UVU studying business finance.


18. Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
probably sean being in school. he is soo busy and we hardly get to do anything fun together. its a blessing that we work for the same company, but i miss just hanging out with him at home and goofing off. this semester has been really hard on him. sometimes i miss those days of dating because school never seems like first priority when you are dating.. haha. but it's okay. school is very important and will be worth it.

19. Did you go to the same school?
I went to UVU as well back in the day.  we went to different high schools though.


20. Are you from the same home town?
Yes. we are both from Orem!


21. Who is smarter?
me. haha. totally kidding. i don't think i've ever seen anyone answer this and put themselves so i thought it would be funny. but sean for sure. however i had a higher GPA than him in high school and i think a higher ACT score. but sean is a much better college student than i was. i would say i did better in high school and he does way better in college. also, sean knows something about almost everything. cars, tools, loans, math, sports.. you name it he knows it.


22. Who is more sensitive?
me.

23.Where do you eat out most as a couple?
ruby river, red robin, texas roadhouse.

24. What attracted you about him/her first?
his smile. and not his fake one, just his genuine happy, laughing smile.  his eyes light up and i love it. also, he is so kind to everyone and always willing to help out. i love that about him.


25. Who is more social?
depends. sean is way good at public speaking and talkin with people that he doesn't know. i am not good at that at all. but i think i can be more social than him at parties and stuff.

26. Who is the neat-freak?
sean for sure. i am terrible. i have put off cleaning our closet since we moved in. its a walk-in closet, and its pretty big. but it was a mess. it drives sean crazy because he has everything sorted by color, fabric type, stripes and solids and whatnot. i have like 5 laundry baskets in there full of clean/dirty clothes. it's all mixed up. hey, i don't like to segregate k? also there is just stuff all over the floor. so anyway i guess i figured if i let it go long enough he would take care of it? guess it worked cuz i came home last saturday and he hung up EVERYTHING. it was awesome. i'm for sure trying that tactic out again.


28. Who hogs the bed?
definitely me. i grew up with a huge bed all to myself after my twin moved to her own room. i love sprawling out. poor sean.


29. Who wakes up earlier?
what is up with these questions? are you trying to make me look like the bad guy? okay it's sean. he wakes up like an hour earlier than me on days we have work at the same time. and then on weekends he wakes up about 6 hours earlier than me. which works out great because i wake up to a very clean house. maybe i am the smarter one?


30. What are HIS favorite things and HER favorite things?
i'm gonna have to go with just loving each other. and listening to what she has to say. haha  jk. (name that movie)

sean: sports, guitar, the mountains, pearl jam, meat and potatoes.
chloe: candy, chocolate, sleeping, new clothes, puppies, and going to movies. i LOVE going to see movies on opening night.

cell phone pictures as of late.

here are some random cell phone pics from the last little while...

texas road house. yumm! and yes, these pictures are awful quality. oh well.

1. mom and dad. 2. my bro sam and his fiance sarah. 3. sean and i. 4. my twin sis maddie and her boyfriend jeremy.

my baby neice addison. too cute for her own good.

the front of our house with grass! (the backyard is a lot bigger)

moe in his devilish diva costume.

he loved it.

me in the costume i wore to give out candy to the 2 trick or treaters that we got.

the first round of kids that came? adorable. or so i hear. when i heard the door bell ring for the 2nd and last time? i got the 15 year old kids who weren't dressed up and held their shirts out to put candy in. awesome. i miss halloween and how it used to be. i am sorry but this trunk or treat business really cramps my style.

a little about us.

i guess you could say that i have posted about babies a lot lately. and you would probably think that i am baby hungry. well who doesn't want a baby? they are like puppies. so cute. i wish i could just borrow one or something. my cousins next door brought their baby over the other night while we were watching the jazz game. little zack fell asleep on my lap and i felt so cool. we will forget about the fact that he cried for like 15 minute before that k?

i can't wait to be a mom someday. there i said it. however, that will definitely not be for a couple of years. i heard a lot of people say we wouldn't make it past a year. well guess what? its been 13 months so take that! i think we will get a dog first. and that probably won't be for a while too.

i have 2 dogs on nintendogs. that is a nintendo game where you take care of a dog. my mom got it for me not this christmas but the last. i told her all that i wanted was a puppy. so she got me one of those. she thinks she is funny :) i haven't checked on them in like 4 months.. do you think that is a sign that i shouldn't get a puppy? or a baby?

so it is raining/hailing here in utah right now. not sure what is going on with this weather. i actually like it though. it makes me want to go back to oregon. i love the rain.

what else is new with us? i mean like what is really going? i was reading back on my latest posts and with as much information that i share that is probably way too much, i don't talk much about what we are really generally up to in life. sure, you get all the embarrassing stories, and TMI posts, but i thought maybe i should fill you all in on a little bit more about sean and i. some times people will ask questions in the comments and i don't always get around to answering them. so here goes. and i am totally making this post up as i go because i am bored and sean is doing stupid homework and i should probably be cooking or cleaning or doing something productive but i think watching friends and blogging is more important than that. back me up.

lets see. well i'll just give you what i can think of off of the top of my head.

sean: 24 years old. mr. perfect. attractive. makes me laugh all the time. has 2 brothers and one sister. is obsessed with his barbecue. obsessed with golfing. currently attending UVU with a major in business finance. he sleeps on the right side of the bed. he snores. he likes to wake up super early and clean. he is weird. because he does that. i kind of like talking like this. with periods. not sure if it is a real way of writing but i don't even care. he is obsessed with big trucks and cars. he used to be a mechanic. he has brown eyes. sometimes with green in them. he is 5'11". has skinnier legs than me. no it's true. we measured. you know the part just above your ankle? yeah. mine is bigger. sean likes burgers. he loves a good steak. he hates tomatoes. the only vegetable i like. okay the only fresh vegetable i like. he doesn't care much for sweets. which leaves more for me. he is a terrible liar. but some how managed to surprise me on our anniversary when he flew me out to vegas to be with him. used to clog. don't tell him i told you. i am trying to track down some pictures. he speaks spanish. went on a mission for our church to Florida for 2 years. he thinks katie holmes is his favorite actress. notice i said he thinks. favorite tv show is the office. has never had braces. neither have i! very good with children. they melt his heart. you can see it in his face when he plays with them. loves camping. likes to do manly things. yet can't seem to stop wearing a moomoo. incredibly smart. almost died in a longboarding accident when he was 17. lived. met me. married me. probably wished that he wouldn't have lived.

chloe: this is weird. lets see. i am 23. twin. mom had two sets of twin 2 and under. i am obsessed with candy. and elephants. people would consider me very sensitive but i don't always love hearing that. i wanna be a tough girl. like if you mess with me i will mess you up. remember this story?  yeah, i am not good at acting tough. i have my associates degree, and a like to call it an almost bachelor degree in community health. you think employers will accept an almost degree? i have been to australia and fiji. i don't like fresh veggies except tomatoes. i absolutely hate cucumbers and sean loves them so we always trade when we go out to eat. waiters think it's cute. i call it convenient. i have dark brown hair. green brown eyes. 5'6". long feet. bigger legs than my husband. same size feet as him too. i love going to movies. love sleeping in. i hate cleaning. i hate doing chores. i love things to be clean though. i would probably hire a maid if i didn't spend all my money on candy and shiny things. i have had lots of surgeries on my feet. 3 on one foot and 1 on the other. broke the law when i was 5. have played softball since i was little. work at the same mortgage company as sean. i prepare loan documents. i am a terrible liar as well. this makes it interesting for sean and i. we are super, almost too honest with each other. i sleep on the left side of the bed. by the door. isn't it supposed to be the other way around? my favorite tv show is the office. and i have been loving HGTV lately. i like reading. currently reading "columbine". it is very interesting. i want a puppy. that is all.

and sean just came out asking if i should maybe cook dinner? i think i shouldn't. but i probably will.

i hope he likes chocolate chips cookies.

something you need to know about sean.

today i was perusing the facebook, and came across something that i had yet to see before. it was something about sean. i wasn't sure what to think about it. at first i couldn't be sure of what it was. i had to take a second look. i mean, we are married now. so i can't just break up with him or something. i mean i guess we could but i am too lazy to get divorced so that really is not an option.

let me rephrase that. when i said that i didn't know what to think about it? i know exactly what i thought about it.

it. was. awesome.

i immediately texted sean.

"sean. we need to talk."

not 2 seconds later the phone rings.

"chloe, what is going on? what's up??"

keep in mind he was in class. i think he could sense the urgency in my text.  not really sure how but it sounds dramatic enough so i will add that in for effect.

"let's just say i came across something that you have never told me about before. "

behold.... teenage sean!!

he's just chillin with fake N'SYNC.

so i finally told him what i saw and he said this,

"Don't ever text me something like that ever again! you scared me!"

"hmmm.. okay. well i should be the one who is mad because you have been keeping this awesomeness from me for so long. i feel like i don't even know you anymore."

then we got over it. and he said he couldn't confirm if it was him or not. a friend from jr. high had posted these pics and he said he had to see them before i had an answer. so i tagged him in the pics anyway because it had to be him.

then he got to work and this was our conversation:

Sean: upon further investigation i conclude that yes, the man in the brown jacket with the nicely combed hair is me

Chloé says: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

YES.

i love it.

i couldn't figure out if sean was trying to be N'SYNC's manager or groupie or what. but he claims he was "running for student council and he was trying to be David Letterman and had to film a video for the student body." he had this to say:
 
I was running for Student Body Secretary and so i did my video alone. I wore that jacket and combed my hair like that because my skit was like David Letterman's Top 10 List. So i did "Top 10 worse things you could do other than vote for Sean Ashby for Student Body Secretary." So i said things like "get to school and realize you forgot your pants." or  "Tripping on the stairs while saying hi to the hottest girl in school." and things like that. the number one reason of course was "voting for the other guy." Aparently it was a big hit and i got voted to be Student Body Secretary.
 
not sure if i buy that part. but i am so proud of him.  he got to chill with fake N'SYNC. N'SYNC was my first ever concert. and i was probably this same age. i was probably at the concert when sean had this picture taken. i also performed in a spice girls skit. possibly more than one time. don't judge. anyway, i feel like we were somewhat connected in a way because of all of this. it was meant to be.
 
and don't you just love his hair?
 
p.s. i hope that racheal doesn't mind that i borrowed these pictures. they were just too good to pass up!

oh facebook, you kill me.

my 9 year old cousin just joined this group on facebook..

or "became a fan" or whatever it is called. 

i thought it was pretty awesome. there are only 2 fans in

the group. i love how they spelled "except", and "our", but my

favorite part has to be the description...

not sure if i should be sad that 9 year olds are on

facebook... impressed that they created a group... or if i should just join the group. 

i hated 4th grade too! so yeah... let's stick it to the man! that'll show em!

(oh and by the way, if it's not on facebook, it's not official. no really, i saw

someone become a fan of that. so it must be legit.)

here are some of the things i have seen lately that you can 

"be a fan of" 

 only if you are cool enough though.

"i stay up late every night, and realize it's a bad idea every morning."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA is way more effective than lol."  

"well, that was awkward."

"why is everything so much scarier at night?"

"why does Goofy stand while Pluto remains on all fours? they are both dogs?"

if you aren't a fan of any of those... 

you could possible fit into one of these...

"'hey.' "hey." "you awake?" "no, i'm sleep texting.' "

"can you please stop being perfect so i can have a chance?"

"children should have NOOOOOO homework."

"don't ever break a pinky promise. that stuff is LEGIT."

"saying huh? then answering the question before they repeat it."

"when i was little i used to say "a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, ELEMENO P."

"air."

"breathing."

i think that some people see something that they become a fan of go by..

and start to worry that if so and so doesn't see that they are a fan of it

then they might make fun of them or not think they are interesting because

they didn't become a fan of "chewing gum because i forgot to brush my teeth!"

oh no! the very thought! i better become a fan.

just in case. 

i seriously keep my facebook because of the awesome entertainment on it.

you know that website.. failbooking?

i feel like i get that everyday, just by logging into my facebook.

here is another one from some cousins of mine..

i changed their names and pictures to protect their identity.

anyway, i saw this back in february and i don't know why

but i got the biggest kick out of it. you probably have to know

them, but they are sisters and are the cutest girls ever.

but i love me some family interaction on the facebook.

because let's face it. sean won't teach me how to play

farmville, my dad won't teach me how to play mafia wars.

(not that i want to learn anyway. but sometimes i feel left out.

but i don't want to do hard work for pretend..

 i don't even want to do it for real life)

so i just have to get my entertainment from other people's 

status updates.

in case you can't read this or are not following along.. 

one sister decided to "like" and comment on almost every

picture that the older sister posted. so the older one said,

"you don't have to comment on every picture 3 times. thanks."

the younger one said, "actually.... i do... :O"

the older one lashed back with, "i'll delete you again."

haha. oh facebook. the only place that you can instantly get rid of family members.

only to add them again and them threaten them with deletion when you feel like it.

sean the photographer.

when you are taking pictures with friends, or significant others, do you ever say or hear the words, "k, let's be cute in this one." or "let's do a sexy one." or how do you maybe say this after looking at the picture, "ughh. i look so ugly. let's take another one." or "why can't you just smile?" 

this whole picture taking thing is going to be the fall of our marriage. it's like the one thing that we just can't sync..we can't be on the same page about it. it's always him being goofy or me smiling. or the other way around. i have a million pictures of sean. not that i LOVE pictures of myself..but it would be nice for my kids to know that i existed back in the day. and not all the pictures of me were taken by myself. this is what happens when sean takes pictures of me and/or us.

oh, not even in this one.

oh, there i am. a little better..

well, at least he got my eyes..

men.

he told me to just combine those last 2 pictures to make it into one.

so then i started thinking. can you imagine a big group of guys being all, 

"hey guys, let's be serious in this one."

"k, now do a sexy pose."

"k, let's just do a cute one."

"blah, i look bad in that one. let's take it again."

no. i guess they don't think like that. so i gave up.

and we took the kinds of pictures that sean wanted to take.

and i am not proud of this picture.

sean said he could see us looking like this in 5 years..

wait..WHA??? 

 maybe we will be on the biggest loser someday after all..

with that outlook...sean.

who does this? and then puts it on their blog?

i guess we do...

i guess if it's the one thing we can't seem to be on the same page about..

then that is okay. could be worse right? 

why can't we all just have photographers who follow us around everywhere

we go and snap candid photos of us looking totally natural and happy like we don't 

even notice that they are there? (except we really do know because we hired them)

 and then they mail us the pictures after editing them all 

awesome and not charge us a dime? that would be pretty sweet. 

on a different note, tonight sean said to me while watching american idol,

"chloe, no one boos Ellen. no one talks back to her. not on my watch.

if i were a girl, i would totally go lesbian for Ellen."

instead of being concerned, i am incredibly proud. i have taught him well.

except, wait. what do you mean on your watch sean? are you her bodyguard now?

on a totally unrelated but actually very related note to this blog post...

i have proposed an idea to sean.

we see so many people post such adorable, cute pictures of themselves on their blogs.

i mean we all do it. why would we post anything that didn't look good.

*this post doesn't count k?*

the cute pics are great and all. 

but why are we afraid to post the ugly?

THOSE ARE THE BEST ONES.

 i think we all need to get over that fear. i think we should have 

"the ugliest face i could possibly make" picture contest.

do you think anyone would participate?

me and my sister and my cousins used to do this. 

we would spend HOURS just laughing and almost crying

over some of the hideous faces that we caught on camera.

of course we never showed anyone. 

but we should have.

laughing is good for the soul, right?

thoughts?
