SPC::Blue

I’ve been forgetting Self Portrait Challenge, but it’s another good excuse to keep taking pictures. Theme of the month: BLUE. I’m cheating here because I think this is more of a blue green. Which I like more anyway. So there. Damon took this picture of me through the scope on my brother-in-law’s paintball rifle. No, silly, he’s not pointing the gun at me! My kids had already disassembled the viewfinder from the gun. I was not harmed while taking this picture.

Damon looks pretty cute, but I can’t use his picture because that wouldn’t be a self portrait. Besides, I’m prettier.

We have, since the first day of this month, been a sick house. With the congregation of Mozilla’s worldwide posse upon the shores of San Francisco Bay, there came upon us a force so evil and full of froth that it disabled, at last count, eight employees of Damon’s staff and half of Ford’s kindergarten class, for its part. When I had blamed New Zealand for the wretched influenza, there came evidence in the form of a carbon copy paper in Ford’s backpack, on Wednesday of this week: Your child may have come into contact with one or more of the following contagious illnesses: Streptococcus A and Chickenpox. Whether the bug came from overseas or Cupertino, at this point I don’t care. My birthday came and went as far as Thursday was concerned, and here we are on Saturday night, watching old movies, still in bed for the most part: I have managed to stay uncontaminated so far, but now that I have typed this, I am watching my chronograph tick until I sneeze.
