My Glow

Many of you asked after viewing my pictures, "Kasie, how did you become so glowingly pale?  Is that something you work hard at or did your sister photoshop the blinding whiteness into your skin."  Okay, so none of you asked it because you're all too nice.  But I know at least half of you (who am I kidding, all of you) were thinking it.  So I will answer that question.  

Yes.  I work very hard at being  pasty.  Reclusiveness is a skill that takes a lot of creative excuses to maintain.  For example, today my husband was taking the kids on a walk and he asked, "Kasie, did you want to come with us?"  

Now, I knew I had a lot of editing to do and what better time to edit than when all four kids and husband are out of the house (a rare occurrence) so I breathed in through my teeth (which added dramatic tension) and said, "Sorry, honey, the swine flu is going around.  Don't want to catch it."

  2. Lol. Four kids AND a husband out of the house? You gotta do what you gotta do.

  3. Better safe than sorry, right?

    Better yet, better editing than watching the kids ; )

    Also, your hair is ADORABLE.

  4. Any excuse is a good excuse to get an hour alone. Great makeover by the way.

  5. You and I have the same translucent white glow. Shun the sun! At least we can avoid skin cancer. I just see it as taking good care of my body. :)

  7. Hey, when your sun-bronzed friends are all wrinkled like prunes, you'll still look 18!

  8. Can't mess with that Swine Flu. Getting exercise and fresh air is a sure way to get it. I'd have done the same thing.

  9. Heather, I knew that assumption would occur. I hooked you. :) But no, no "announcements" here ever again (shouldn't speak too soon, huh?) we're officially done.

    Cindy, I know, right? I had to.

    Kiersten, editing is my least favorite thing to do in the writing process, but way better than facing the sun (or the swine flu).

    Patti, yes, I have to think of more excuses in case there is another opportunity.

  10. Lois, so true. Now there's a good excuse. :)

    Jenn, I know, I hate to exploit the flu like that, but I'm very selfish. :) As long as I don't get punished by truly getting it.

    Linda, I didn't even think about that added benefit of becoming a hermit. So true. Too bad no one will see my young skin because by that time I will have figured out a way to NEVER leave the house.

    Tricia, I knew I could count on you to agree with me. I think fresh air and exercise is a way to contract a lot of illnesses. I avoid them at all costs. :)

  11. LOL, good for you, pulling the ol' flu card! (I didn't think you were pasty at all...but then, I'm whiter than Casper.)

  12. Lol!! My excuse is allergies when my husband wants to go for a walk:)

  13. I'm a big fan of being pasty, too. Plus, my husband is half-Peruvian, and I will never catch up with him in hue, so my pastiness really sets me apart in our marriage. And I really think Bella Swan made pastiness cool.
