Pretty from far away.

Wyatt- "Mom you are pretty from far away, but then you get up close and there is all these bumps."

Me- "Wyatt that is the meanest thing to say! Never ever ever say that to a woman or a girl, you will hurt their feelings!" I start to cry. I guess if I am going to teach him a lesson in saying kind things to others-- this will help make it memorable. So I let 'em flow! I thought my skin was looking rather good lately. =(

Wyatt-"I am sorry. You are a pretty Mom. I think you are great." Then his tears start.

Pretty from far away......... my mind goes to the scene from the movie Clueless.

Tai: Do you think she's pretty?
Cher: No, she's a full-on Monet.
Tai: What's a Monet?
Cher: It's like a painting, see? From far away, it's OK, but up close, it's a big old mess. Let's ask a guy. Christian, what do you think of Amber?
Christian: Hagsville.
Cher: See?

I had to get someone to tell me it wasn't true. So, I called Lincoln. The one person on this earth that thinks I am a total hottie! I tell Lincoln the conversation I had with Wyatt, and my loving husband proceeds to laugh. Rude.

I think I am owed something. SOMETHING. A shopping spree. A new camera. A new house. His apology wasn't very convincing.

I'll change the subject that one is depressing.

I drove by a house.
I loved it.
The price was too good to be true.
It is a short sale.
I call my husband in Oregon. I tell him I want it.
We put an offer on the house.
We haven't even been inside it. =)
We will go see it this week.

I love to be crazy! I don't think our offer will be excepted, but still I love this whole crazy feeling. I will let you know what happens.

I just bought a print of the above image. I love it. It is very small, just the size of a notecard. I am going to frame it and hang it in my bathroom. =)
