Do you remember school picture day? That awkward day in which you are dressed up, usually in what your mother thinks is the best outfit you own. You tried to pull your hair into some semblance of order. Maybe mom even let you dab on a little mascara, blush and lip gloss. All this prep and then you take a seat against a standard tye-dye looking backdrop and get one chance to smile before the next student is taking your place.

Yeah, I didn’t miss that at all! But last week was picture day at school and let me tell you it is no better as a teacher. Ok, well maybe it is slightly better since my hair cooperates most days and I know how to successfully apply my own makeup. But the cheesy smile, the tacky backdrop, the awkward seating on top of a box, yeah… it’s all still the same. And it is still the one-picture wonder. You get one chance to smile your best, tilt your head just right, and not blink. It’s almost like the DMV.

This year I figured I would try to do a little manipulating of my own by wearing the cobalt top. It’s a color that usually brings out my eyes and makes me not look pasty white. I figured that was a better option than a classic black top, which was my first thought that morning.

Hmmm… Maybe now my dad can replace my Senior Year picture that sits in his office with my new school picture. HA!
