A Smile

Hi all!

It's a late evening post but better late than never. I wasn't able to have the normal fun with makeup that I normally do each morning  as I had to be at work early and put in almost a 12 hour day - a strong work ethic I have!

So, in lieu of that, I thought I'd post a shot my husband Andy took of me about 6 months back. What I love is that it shows how I normally am and that is smiling! That's me about 85% of the time so I thought it would be fun to share since all of my photos are so serious!

Have a great night!

Hi all!

I've been lagging behind a bit. I apologize. I had some cortisone injections in my back on Wednesday (long history of back issues even an artificial disk!) so I've managed okay up until then but that day and yesterday were a bit of a bugger.

So, this pretty simple look is from Tuesday.
