Webcam outtakes 4
This is not a real post. I’m at a family reunion in Kansas City today, trying my very best not to sweat off my spray tan while sitting by the pool and eating far too many hot dogs.
I know….it’s a rough life.
I’ll be back on Monday with tales of the half-dozen things I did to embarrass myself in front of Scott’s family. Here’s hoping none of those stories involve the bright pink tutu I decided to pack, or our last-minute decision to bring Jolie with us, despite our strong suspicions that she’s highly allergic to the state of Missouri.

I often use my computer’s web cam to shoot photo and video. The other night, as I was going through the past twelve months of photos, I realized there were some real…um...gems in there.
I’ll probably regret posting these photos later…but right now, my biggest worry is whether or not jumping in the pool will totally rinse off my spray tan.

Sure…Scott COULD have surprised me with flowers while I was working late. Luckily, he knew I’d appreciate a pickle from Jimmy John’s much more.

I tried really hard to look “gangsta” here…but I had just finished Turbo Kick and was downright exhausted. I probably just needed some gin and juice to perk me up.
I think I was congratulating myself on successfully eating an entire bowl of spaghetti without silverware. During a conference call. (Totally kidding. But it would be kind of disgustingly awesome…right?)

I think I was debating whether or not my hair looked acceptable enough to be seen by my coworkers during a video conference at work. Sadly, my conclusion was “Good enough for me!”.

It’s so easy to look smug when you haven’t yet realized your husband is in the kitchen, unearthing all of the receipts from Nordstrom you hid in the trash can.

At my office in Seattle. I arrived at work and suddenly realized that I had shown up to a professional environment wearing a large, dead, animal. This photo was taken in a panic, as an attempt to assure myself I didn’t look like a cavewoman.

Katrina, you are an absolute gem. Even when you are on vacay at family reunion you “fake post.” I’m very worried about your spray tan and the amount of hotdogs you are consuming. And make sure Jolie doesn’t get overheated! My Yorkie, Napoleon, almost died yesterday of heat stroke!
We had a pool party and it was 109 degrees. Napoleon loves a pool party so he was out jumping in and out of the pool on and off our lounge rafts for about an hour. Suddenly he started stumbling and walking sideways like he was a little drunky. He was seriously gonna pass out and die. I grabbed him and brought him in to the tub and doused him with cold water until he came around. A half hour later he was waiting at his dinner bowl like nothing happened. THANK GOD!
BTDubs, who needs friends when you have gorgeous Shellac nails?!

Sandy, that is so scary about Napoleon!!! I’m glad he was okay! It was 107 degrees in Kansas City this weekend, and the same thing probably would have happened to Jolie if I hadn’t read your comment! After hearing what happened to Napoleon I kept splashing her with pool water all day to keep her cool, and it seemed to be okay. I’m so glad your little guy is okay — scary stuff!!

Sometimes I search my phone (which would be SOOOO much easier if Apple let me make tags for my photos then I could search categories or key words later — a project for Gen Z, I think) for self-portraits. Yesterday’s #PhotoOfTheDayJuly — my Instagram fetish — was self-portrait. I managed to only find one self-portrait in 2700 photos on my phone…. wind-blown haired up mug shot when we landed in Kauai (wind-blown hair because that’s totally sexy right? and mug shot because my arms are so short that any self-portrait is up close and personal).
Of all your photos, I like the foil fingers best

Everyone is allergic to Missouri. I never had allergies before moving here, and now I fear my head will explode (literally) if I don’t take meds every day. Also, my asmar (LOTF FTW) sucks here.
