This morning I looked over my to-do list for the week to plan out my daily schedule. My eyes scanned over list, mentally putting things in order as I went along. I was nearing the end of the list when one caught my eye and I paused. Actually, like shuttered. I groaned, too, though I’m not sure if it was out loud or in my head. This week I need to get a new passport.
It’s not because the process for getting a new passport is drawn out and confusing. It’s not because of the hefty fee they make you pay. It’s not even because I’ll be losing the stamps from my trip to Italy in college and my honeymoon in St. Lucia. It’s because of the PICTURE.
The nasty fluorescent lighting. The horrible, pixel-y camera. The unflattering angle. The awkward smile. (Are you even supposed to smile anymore?) I always end up either looking like I’m 5 or looking like I’m ill. And don’t even get me started on driver’s license photos. All I’m saying is, wouldn’t you think they’d want ID photos to be really good? Wouldn’t they want to look at it and see an ACTUAL representation of the person and not some discolored and distorted photo? CAN I GET AN AMEN?! (Clearly this is a sensitive subject for me.)
Although, maybe it’s a good thing. My last passport picture is so horrible it couldn’t possibly get worse. (Knock on wood.) I have a new chance to try and remember to tilt me head little, keep my chin down, make my eyes bright, give a cute smile… (If you’re supposed to smile. Still haven’t figured that one out.)
Oh the dreaded passport photo.
(If you thought I was going to show you the awful photo you must be outta yo mind! Haha.)
And I don’t want to forget… Thank you so much to everyone who gave me some new songs to run to!!! I definitely added a few of those to my playlist :) You guys rock. Unfortunately, though, only one can win, and thanks to random.org the winner of the iTunes giftcard is Kevin Markowitz!!!!! Congrats Kevin!! Hopefully this will help you add some new songs to your workout playlist :) Happy Monday folks!
