Just a Fluff Post

Oh, what a week. I’m sipping my third cup of coffee this morning. Hubby dearest forgot to prep the coffee pot last night for his early morning, so I have the whole pot to myself. It’s not gourmet coffee, but it’s a good cup of coffee. Just as Hubby like to buy his summer sausage in bulk, he also likes to buy our coffee in bulk.

My bloggy friend Paloma hosts Coffee Friday, so if you like coffee, visit her blog for some coffee treats!

The Coffee Shop

I’m looking at a disaster of a living room, knowing that if I pick up all the toys and vacuum I’ll feel soooo much better. But first, a blog post. If you’re looking for a blog post with substance, you won’t find it here.

It seems like it’s been a busy week. We had a new roof put on our house on Wednesday. I was so pleased when they finished in a day! But what a noisy day it was. I had to escape to the library for the afternoon. At least both Lily and Emmy were at school. I kept Lily home on Tuesday because she was sick, so I was worried that we would be home bound during the roof installation. Fortunately, Lily felt fine on Wednesday, and since she is a second grader, she wanted to go back to school. Emmy, on the other hand, said she had a fever and needed to stay home. She didn’t, on both counts.

And OH! Trying to keep up with all my social media accounts has been a challenge. I have always wanted to try this BlogFrog Community snippet on my blog, so I’m trying it out today. (see below) One of my conversations is about Facebook Friday. If you have a Facebook Page, be sure to leave your page’s link to get some more likes/comments today!

Background of a Profile Pic (literally)

If I didn’t have a profile picture, that wouldn’t bother me a bit. You know what I mean, don’t you? Showing a picture of myself online where the whole world can see my flaws…a little scary, isn’t it?

However, I think it’s nice to put a face with a name. If I like to see how you all look, it’s not fair if I don’t show you what I look like!

I first started using a profile picture when I joined Facebook. My favorite profile picture was one my cousin took of Emmy and me when she was a baby.

Emmy and me, 2008

Babies grow up, however, and so I needed a new profile picture for Facebook. Plus, I had joined the world of blogging. All of a sudden I needed a profile picture for Blogger. And then for Twitter and Gravatar. And Google+ and Pinterest and Blogfrog….

Since I seem to be the picture taker in the family, most of my profile pictures have been ones I take of myself. There was the profile picture that was actually of my profile, which my brother said, “Take it down! It doesn’t look like you!” There’s the one I took with my webcam, which my husband declared was “freaky.” Too bad if you want to see them…I’m not going to show them to you.

The latest profile picture I used was one that Lily took, which I thought was pretty good. But just last week I got new glasses, so the quest to have a new profile picture began once again. Here’s one picture I took of myself. It’s my studious look.

Do I look like a librarian or a teacher?

 

And here’s what was going on behind me as I took this self-portrait.

 

Behind my calm demeanor…

I haven’t actually changed any profile pictures yet. The thought itself is exhausting!
