Abstraction of myself

I am having some difficulty getting into the groove of the media challenge. One of the things this collection of mostly words and some pictures achieves is an abstraction of myself. I like me in the abstract much more than in the flesh. Notice to all you young people in the challenge: Getting old is hard. I simply don't want to see the elasticity of my skin go the way of a much-use paper bag.


My children—and by that I mean one particular child who shall remain nameless although SHE is the YOUNGEST in the family—are constantly (not quite an exaggeration) harassing me about my vanity. It's a sin, that is for certain (the vanity not the harassing) especially when you define sin as turning away from God AND if you believe God is love, which I do. 


What am I going to do about this? I'm working on it. In the meantime, here is a self portrait on the wild carpet of a Las Vegas hotel. I'm a woman on the move!

    Don't even worry about it. You're only, like, 17 days behind everyone else. It's ok to cheat. That's what I do. Just blog about nothing. People eat that stuff up.

    I do like this picture, though. It really looks like you're on the move, so it works on several levels.

    I really like the idea of representing myself with abstraction. Will have to think about that. Or maybe I should just do something without thinking, streaming from my active unconscious?

    Either way, I like your photo

    I like the photo, too.

    Good job. Every participant in the blogging challenge is a winner. Don't tell Dan.
