Thanks, all, for the nice words. I don't think there is any safer place to post a picture than this forum.
There's nothing but esteeming building going on around here!!
It's funny, but I must be looking younger now, or something. I've been getting carded recently (don't worry folks, just buying weekend beers for the hubby, not getting anything for myself
), and that hasn't happened for a LONG time. But now that I'm on the other side of 30, I'll take all the carding I can get.
We can do it, Di! We're on our way! I have resigned myself (after looking at old high school pictures) to always having those chipmunk cheeks when I smile, but at least they're not making me look ridiculously fat, like they did at mom's wedding. The aunt and unc won't know what to do with themselves. Of course, this is that "weird diet thing," so their approval may come grudgingly . . .
