Christmas Card Picture Attempts
December 9, 2008
That one (above) was my favorite, but it was too blurry…
These were taken when we went to the Nutcracker, which Amelia LOVED!!
If you’ve received a Christmas card from us, then you know that none of those was the winner!
The last one of the 3 of you is really good. Why didn’t you use that one???
Ben & Amelia look good, but I didn’t like it of me. The double chin is more obvious, I’m not really smiling and I look about 45 years old. Sorry to be vain, but when you go up 3-4 sizes in a year, that will happen! So forgive me for choosing one where I look good! Ben looks better in the one we went with too, you have to admit!
You went UP in sizes?? I’m going to guess that’s b/c of the meds you’re on…
i think you look beautiful anyway.
And, I LOVE our Christmas card from you!!!!
Well I think you look fine! I like the one you sent too though!!!
Thanks for not noticing! Yes, I’ve gained about 45 pounds on the steroids, partly because people gain weight on steroids, and partly because, since I’m on them, I can eat things other than rice…so I do!! I was a size 6 this time last year, and now I’m a 12. I don’t mind being a 12–that’s what I was in high school, and Ben says he likes me at this weight the best of any size higher or lower that I’ve been at…but I’m wondering how many more pounds are going to creep on with these drugs!! Everyone says when you go off steroids, the weight just falls right off, but I don’t quite believe it…I am trying hard to get off them though, and not because of the weight gain…I’ve been on them over a year now and it’s just not safe long-term. Anyhow…I’m glad you all like the pictures, and that’s why I put the others up–in case you like a different one better, you can see them all this way!
