Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 16

There are no curtains on my window... cuz I'm lazy :P Here's my reflection!

My fingers hurt from bending wire... AND I need more wire. Lol. Busy me!

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 15

I forgot to post my self-portrait yesterday. Sorrrrry!!!

So. Its been about 5 weeks since I was laid off.

The picture on the left is the week before I was laid off and the picture on the right is from today. I'm very tired. I just opened my severance check and it is so not what I was expecting. So much so I just want to go down to Borders and give them a piece of my mind but what can I do? Taxes... I only worked there for 2 years... blah blah blah.

So. Just like the week I posted the picture on the left, I'm going to post 5 things about myself:

1) My hair is easily detangled. One of the perks of thin hair.
2) I love things that fit in my pocket (like... mini tea sets! though, I don't have one right now... I used to... when I was a wee lass). I wish more girl pants had pockets in them.
3) My feet are almost never cold. I'm very warm most of the time... (I'm told its cuz I'm fluffy :))
4) I could probably eat spaghetti every night for dinner... at least for a week before I got sick of it.
5) I type with purpose. And, at the max, 90 WPM.

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 14

My allergy medicine makes me feel funny. I got non-drowsy to AVOID this funny feeling. O_o

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 13

Sleepy Sunday.

Took this picture at 6:30AM. Why? Because that's when I woke up and thought "Hey, I should do that self-portrait blog thing that I said I'd do every week on Sundays..." Then I fell back asleep. Because I was sleepy. Duh. :P

Earring post to come... as soon as I get home (I'm currently at Corner Bakery).

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 12

Tired and grumpy. Humph.

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 9

My friend posted a picture on Facebook of Marilyn Monroe in a bathing suit. And you know what? She was not a twig. That made me smile.

I certainly am not a twig. I'm closer to a tree trunk than a twig. But I want to believe that I'm beautiful. My boyfriend says I am. My mom says that there is no such thing as an ugly person (physically, she means... my mom made that point clear- there ARE ugly spirited people). My dad, though he does say that I'm fat, says that I'm pretty. Why is it so hard for me to see it?

I am going to love myself a little bit more. I think that I can be pretty. I don't wear make-up but I think I can still be pretty without it.

I'm going to close with five things about myself that I think are beautiful:
1) My smile
2) I think I have a cute nose (that is obviously Filipino...hehehe)
3) um... my ears are... shaped... like... ears? Lol.
4) I have deep brown eyes. I like my eyes.
5) My hands. I know you can't see them, but they're pretty small. Not slender, but small. They match me. I'm small but not slender...

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 8

Before I start, I just want to say, I can't believe how much I miss the internet when it's not available at my house... A remodel of sorts is going on in the living room and the internet has been down at my place since LAST WEEK! I thought my cousins had given it up for Lent without telling me!!! Lol.

Ok. Now. On to my late picture. I was told, when I yawn, I look like a panda. So. Here is my best "yawn face." And there is Beckett... one of my Valentine's Day presents.

Me? Panda?... Maaaaybe.... Haha.

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 6

I missed last week. I took a picture but just didn't have the will to blog about it.

This is the picture I took. I'd been crying quite a bit and you can just make out the bruise I apparently gave myself on the bridge of my nose from squeezing my face while I cried. It was an interesting week and has continued on into this past week. A lot of unwanted drama and hurtful words exchanged. I will end with this. My life is my life. No matter how much I want to do for others, if I do not and am not able to take care of myself, I cannot help anyone. I wish other people could see that.

Who is "Ahtee?"- Week 1

I read somewhere some bloggers did a project that lasted the whole year--- post a new self-portrait every week for 52 weeks. I am going to attempt it. I thought it would be fun and interesting to see if there's a change (that's me on the left there... hello).

5 Random Things about Me
1) I have very thin hair that I am very self concious about. I bleached my hair to death in high school and now am left with hair that my mother likes to comment on- "Are you going bald?"

2) See my eyebrows? They're triangles. And I like 'em. I used to wax and tweeze but only because people made fun of my eyebrows... but I think now they're kinda unique. A little bushy, but eh.

3) I'm told my laugh is a good one. But sometimes, people look at me funny when I laugh... because I laugh loud.

4) I can't remember a time when I didn't have bags under my eyes. I work hard. I stay up late. And it seems I'm always lacking sleep. Oh, I love sleep, but I rarely get the recommended 8 hours of sleep a night.

5) My hair in this picture (and most pictures) looks black. But in the sun, its brown. A pretty light brown compared to the black in the picture. But that's only on a sunny day. I wonder why that is.
