I was really giddy when I got the invitation because it had been soooooo long since I went out. I&#8217;m not the girl who likes going out every week or even every month, but every now and then, a girl just wants to dress up and go out. So I did not care that it was a 50th birthday, and I did not care who would be there. I just wanted to get doll&#8217;d up and go out. And because it had been so long since I went out, it had also been so long since I took pictures. I know Mikki&#8217;s mom was the celebrant, but Mikki looked so gorgeous! Sorry, I don&#8217;t have a picture of her. I was busy taking pictures of myself.<\/p>\n<p>My 6 years of being anonymous has really done a number on me because now I almost don&#8217;t know how to post pictures of myself online. And this crazy because of how much I actually love taking pictures of myself. I&#8217;m vain. I LOVE looking at myself. I drive with my overhead mirror down because I enjoying admiring myself, even while driving. Anyway, I&#8217;ll try to let my blog match my enthusiasm for my own self. What manner of love shall we call this?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9052\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Weekend-Recount-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9052\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9052\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Weekend-Recount-2.jpg\" alt=\"Right before we left the house\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Weekend-Recount-2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Weekend-Recount-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Right before we left the house<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9051\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Weekend-Recount-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9051\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9051\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Weekend-Recount-9.jpg\" alt=\"He just had to copy me.

Believe it or not, but this is the first time in my life that I have ever bought and used a red lipstick. I always thought that a red lipstick would not look good on me, so I just never tried. Wonder where I got that idea. So on Friday, Igwe and I had gone to the mall, and while I was there, I remembered that I had decided to try a red lipstick. I&#8217;ll put up a separate post about my new lippy. Looovvveee!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been so busy talking about myself that I didn&#8217;t even talk about the party. Well, it was fun. Lots to eat and drink. Now, have I told you how much I love myself? Ha!
