Portraits of a Prairie Chick

My friend Chris posted this self portrait challenge a few days ago on her private blog. Her series of photos brought such a grin to my face, that I promised I would do it when I got my memory card back (long story, I've been walking around sans camera for over a week now if you've been wondering why the shortage of fresh photos). Well... you are about to get your fill. for life. of pictures from me. of pictures of me. This is quite uncharacteristic of me but I have to admit it was CRAZY FUN. Seriously... I double dog dare you to do the self portrait challenge. You don't have to caption the pictures, I just couldn't resist giving voice to my facial expressions... I devote the following to Prairie Guy, who puts up with and loves me and all my expressions. He's the best.
What?Whatever.

eek

Ack

are you serious?you can't be serious...

you're pulling my leg... you're serious.

I don't know....

I'm a little skeptical...

so let me get this straight....

you're telling me...

You know where liars go?

I can't believe you just said that! ho are you in trouble!

wait a minute, wait a minute

What did you just say?

ooooohhhh... this is getting ugly

oh *I* started it did I?

I did not say that!
You are incorrigable!

okay, now you're making me mad.

Huh?

I'm the one who has problems?

oh... that's just cruel.

I don't like where this conversation is headed.alright... you asked for it.

you take that back right now.before I totally lose it


What. are you for real?

you are a real piece of work, ya know?

You are the only person who can make me go from this....

to this.and that's why you are the perfect man for me.

and I of course am perfect for you too.

Oh - and I love 'you're pulling my leg' and 'you asked for it'. I can picture pguy cracking up over these... or shaking his head, one of the two.

Dawn @ simply transparent said...

NO I won't be doing this one as I don't have that many faces!..FUNNY!

And I'm thinking your lips are your favorite? very full lipstick wearable and liner lucky you!

Thanks for your prayerful concern about the weighty issue of legalized abortion. What will God do when a nation calls evil good? I know what we can do: cry out for mercy and a move of the Holy Spirit!

Loved the photos! Lots of fun and a great way to meet you on a new level! ;)

Berry Girl said...

hohohohhahaho - that's so fun!

"you are incorrigible" and "I don't like where this is going" have to be my favorites.

And I agree - I've always loved your beautiful lips and eyes :)

NanaNor's said...

Absolutely loved this-loved all your expressions. It was so good to see your face and the quotes that went with it. You have a beautiful, yes I said beautiful, countenance. Thank you for making me giggle this morning.
Hugs and giggles to you today.

Funny . . . VERY funny . . . and so TRUE! : D

[Is this my first visit here? I'm not sure, but it certainly won't be my last. Ha ha ha . . . ]

Linda said...

That was really fun. I kept thinking that now you will know exactly how you look when you've dealing with the kids :-)
I'm not brave enough to do this one.

Linda said...

LOL!!! Truly funny!! Love the captions!!!

Mac an Rothaich said...

Well, I don't know where I found the guts... not just to post them but to actually sit there and take them, heh heh.... but it was terribly fun. Try it. Come on, just a few... they don't even have to be funny face ones.

Oh and the comments about my eyes and lips and what-not? Get out. I was SHOCKED to hear people think I have nice lips. For the record, I have a major lip complex, my upper lip is what cultured people (that's you Laura) would call a Sweetheart's lip. Less cultured people, that's my redneck heritage, refer to it as a "chicken lip". Not that they singled me out and told me I had one, but it's common in my family and that's what it is jokingly referred to as.

I know what's my LEAST favourite feature... my chin from that down below looking up angle... whoah... ick. Lipo candidate. Come on, if I can do this, anyone can do it. Show us your mug.

Tricia said...

You just crack me up! You are probably tons of fun to hang out with!

Blessings!

Unknown said...

>>You are probably tons of fun to hang out with!<<

Not really... I am actually pretty introspective and not terribly flamboyant. I'm no wall flower, but I'm definitely not the life of the party, either *wink*.

Katrina said...

This is GREAT! I like all the captions you put with it.

It's nice to finally see a face (or should I say many faces...lol) to go with the name... you are so pretty!

What fun... Hmmm... I wonder if I should try this... Ummm, maybe not...I don't know if I dare! :o)

Heidi said...

So nice to *see* you! You know where liars go is my personal favorite. :) I'll have to see what I come up with in the next couple days, LOL. I don't know if I have that many expressions. :)

You're beautiful.

Anonymous said...

Oh, that was fun!

I went through you post first, and then, there was something I wanted to check on, so I scrolled back up. . . and noticed that whole "flip-book" thing. ..

So, I started at the top again and scrolled down. It's like a mini-movie. I got the whole "conversation". Very cool.

I would imagine your husband loves playin' with ya just to see those expressions, on your beautiful face.

Della said...

Okay...that was a gas! I needed a chuckle today as if life with children isn't just laugh til you cry anyhow! My favorite? Well, I'll just ask...Prairie Chick, where do liars go??????? Great stuff!
