Throwback Thursday.

Throwing way, way, way back.

Hmm… I think I used to have eye lashes! I know I used to have eyebrows. Come to think of it, I had a lot more hair back then too!

Hmph.

Now I have a lot more weight.

You win a bagel, you lose a bagel.

I don’t think I’ll be cracking open the senior yearbook again. It almost fell apart in the commission of this Instagram.

More August jewels…

This one’s in shades of blue. Labradorite, London blue topaz, aquamarine, chalcedony, with an occasional garnet.

The Old Girl thinks of my thigh as a pillow.

Which isn’t a bad thing when there’s a chill in the air.

Instagrammers call Thursday “Throwback Thursday.” You are supposed to post some sort of photo from back in the day. Here is mine:

That’s me on the far right frowning. My mother used to do this all the time: line us all up for a photo, then whack me on the top of the head. (Full disclosure: I might have been acting up and deserved a sound thumping.) Now that I look at this photo, my darling little-est sister (at the time) was giddy, much like she always is, and my middle sister was a combination of clueless and otherwise absorbed elsewhere. Much like she is now.

My mother used to dress us like triplets. I did not like it much.

And you thought YOUR mother was a piece of work.

Filter: None. After all, it’s Throwback Thursday.

Next year, I’m going to Instagram a year’s worth of Michigan weather. That’s because the sky has been gray the last 30 out of 32 days.

In the meantime, we will contemplate me in gray.

At work. It’s a chaotic day.

My calendar says “If I wanted to hear from you, you’d be on my playlist.”

Um, yeeee-aahhh… My feelings exactly.

March 3

Busy cleaning. (That cat hair was getting thick.)

Busy working. (No rest for the boss.)

Later? Busy writing. (Not enough hours in a day.)

If I had enough hours, I would make more jewelry.

Do you know how hard it is to take a self-portrait while looking over your shoulder?

Let’s just say you’d have to be a contortionist to get a decent shot.

Yes, it’s Sunday. Yes, I’m at work. Yes, it’s cold in here.

Any other questions? I thought not.

Still on Michigan Time. I’m up at 3 a.m., so I have hours to wait before the conference.

So, I’m editing before I head downstairs.
