Just How Boring

I wanted to do an Instalife post to sum up all the things I have been doing. But then I realize just how boring my life is without Adam. Do I sound like a broken record talking about Adam being gone? Well. Sorry. Because my record is broken. Because I do the same thing every day when he is gone. One Tree Hill. Unless I am going to Idaho for a wedding. But that is about as unique as it gets people. So here is a smaller version of Instalife to sum up my last few weeks.

feeling fiesty in my animal print // found my keys and my Jesus - autocorrect win // my bestie and me

leaving Idaho skies for smog // HI ADAM! // Adam eating crawfish

my besite and her hubs with Adam at LSU // sleepover with the pup // rhinestoned and 5 inches

So basically it goes me dressing in clothing to go to work. Leaving work for a trip to Idaho. Spending time in with friends and family. Adam on the road. Me on the road. Sending text photos back and forth. Sleepover with my puppy to keep my company. And then I bought some ridiculously AWESOME shoes to make up for not having anyone to share a bed with for about 10 days. Sweet. What have you been up to? What do you do when you are home alone? And.... what do you think of my new shoes?

Love,

Just Another Pretty Face.

One of my favorite things to do is make people feel really awkward. And a few summers ago my answer to everyone's whys and hows about me was, "Well. It is because I am so pretty." And then it turned into a long running joke about how I am more than just a pretty face. And I still have one friend that refers to me as pretty face. That is story one of this post.

Story two. I do pageants. In case you didn't know that. And because of that people assume I am picture perfect always. Adam had a photo shoot for baseball the other day and the guys said, "Did Deidre train you last night?" Come on people. Pageant girls use Photoshop for head shots. Sorry if you thought we didn't. But we do. But his baseball team always refers to my pageant life, which is funny and I secretly (not so secretly anymore) love it.

And now to the last story about Adam. I mean, I have always thought Adam was a good looking man. Clearly. Otherwise I wouldn't have made a fool of myself at that football game way back when. But over the last month or so I have had many friends express their opinion of Adam's looks. From one girl saying, "Is your husband here? I haven't met him... but he is so hot!" to another saying, "Adam is so handsome and just a great guy."

But I am here to tell you all this pretty face talk is incorrect.

This is what we normally look like.

My family knew that we were a match made in heaven when they saw the amount of funny faces Adam makes. They thought I would never meet someone as out of control as me. And boy were they wrong. I will at least smile 25% of the time. For Adam, it is closer to 3.6%. So I am here today to teach you the art of the funny face. 

Start with the eyes. Make them big. 

Or one squinty. Or crossed.

Next the nose. Basically you have two options. 

Flare it or suck it in.

Next the lips... any shape that isn't a smile will do.

Add the chin or an awkward hand position.

Put it all together and you are SET!

That is actually the most hideous funny face I have ever seen. I am so glad I could put it together for you. Need some more funny face inspiration? Here are some of my favorites... 

And then one normal for good measure. 

Well. Hopefully I didn't frighten you TOO much. Do you like to make funny faces? What is your go to? Or are you a smiler?

Love,
