I'm not attempting to mimic that spot at all here, but I had to share something just silly. Yesterday I asked Ted to forward me all the pictures of me that showed a) how beautiful I am, and b) just how charismatic I can be. I had to include two of them for a little email I sent out today. I found an ad on craigslist that was making a casting call for female scientists who were smart, energetic, and charismatic. Hello!! Yoo-hoo!!! HEY, MORONS! I'M OVER HERE!!
So I did it. I sent in what they wanted. Hey, you never know, and I didn't want to watch some cool science show in the future with a dry hostess and think "I coulda done that WAY better". I have a problem with that most awful of phrases: I wish I would have...
I guffawed at the pictures Ted sent me. I had totally forgotten about most of them, and that's where the flashback comes in. This one cracked me up. Can you imagine opening up a resume email and seeing this?
I look like such a perv! Or that I just found the most interesting shell-shaped toilet in the world and I'm concentrating on using it. Which, of course, is also perverted.
Oh, and this was on our honeymoon. Ted and I had been married about 4 days. The boy knew what he was getting himself into, but it's things like this that make me wonder if he ever considered backing out while there was still time...

AAhhahahaha! I think you're a magnet for phallic photo opps. But PLEEEEASE tell me you didn't send that one out for your job application. [wince]
I seriously hope you get the job -- you'd be fabulous. They'd be fools not to hire you. No one would ever see science the same way again! (See above) :)
Hey -- I have a blogger friend who does Flashback Fridays too -- Twas Brillig?
First off...you can totally mimic flashback friday because a) you already hate me and b) I totally stole it from someone else.
Um, the picture, yea...Not sure which category Ted thought that was. I mean, you look totally beautiful in it. Or perhaps he thought it showed your charisma. Okay, you're just perverted.
But how much would I LOVE to see you as a host on a science show?! Seriously, I would.
That is a lovely, lovely picture. Haha! Giant seashell? Why, I must sit inside it and have my picture taken while gazing randomly in another direction! Makes perfect sense to me. :-)
who doesn't love the flashback friday? we should all steal dana's idea. and...how did we miss the shell toilet on our trip? i wanna picture like that!
BTW -- did you make that cake?
No, I didn't make the cake, but I can certainly appreciate the time and effort that whoever did it put in. It's cute, huh? I'm going to feature a different baked good every few weeks or so for sheer pleasure. Maybe one of these days it will be my creation... You'll just have to wait and see...
