Selfie


I lost a bet recently and to pay up,
 a new selfie on my blog was requested.



Selfies are kinda hard to take, aren't they?
You have to hold the camera across from your face,
hold steady and smile pleasantly at nothing.
In my case, I had a cat tickling my legs and making me laugh!



So, we'll blame Smokey for the giggling.
OK, I've paid my dues!  
Back to our regularly scheduled programming. ha.

      Yippee for you! It's been a while since you were first!
      I think your prize for being first is to do a new selfie! haha.

    2. HelenJune 25, 2014 at 10:57 PM

      I do remember! Think I told you once I had braces, the metal kind, for almost three years when I was in my 20s ... so worth all the agony. Mid-way thru, they pulled off all the metal, pulled four teeth and began over! That was in addition to my wisdom teeth coming out! Almost 73 and my teeth are still hanging in there! Yours will too.

    3. Betsy BrockJune 25, 2014 at 11:06 PM

      I remember that you had braces as an adult, but not the wisdom teeth and starting over! Ugh! But it is worth all the pain and money...I don't regret mine one bit and I know you don't either. I'm so glad I did it!

      Well, thanks Miss Dishy! You're so sweet. :) I did get it cut again the same way...which I don't usually do! But it's a little longer the second time around. I like it better, I think...and I have to be able to pull it up.

    I just love both selfies and very well done.
    What a lovely smile. Thanks Smokey for initiating the giggle
