Reaganland

A favorite place to visit.

Now and then, and all the time, a special little someone in our house goes to another place. I find myself saying "Reagan, what are you doing? Get your homework done!" or "Reagan, I just told you 3 times to go and do .........." Only to hear in response "Oh, sorry mom, I was visiting Reagan Land again."

You see, Reagan Land is a VERY complex place and takes a lot of time to maintain. So many things and so many places all crammed inside one little head. There are a lot of streets...Diamond Street, Ocean Street, Lava Street........and there are people in our family that live at each street. Mickinley lives on Diamond Street in a diamond house and Reagan is just across the way. Erik lives on Tie Street in a normal house of course. There's a mayor of Reagan Land, who happens to be ....... Reagan.

So, any time you'd like to visit - You only need ask a few questions and you will quickly find yourself with plenty of descriptive details, to the point you can imagine yourself there. We visit most days.

At Veronica's Request

So, I went through our pictures. Every single one that I have on my computer, and I couldn't find a normal picture of myself. There are some that I'm far away (which is good) and a few in which I'm making a weird face (just to deter the picture taker), but no normal pictures of me all by myself. Maybe this is because I'm rarely by myself these days? Even when I am alone I keep myself company.

So tonight, I broke down, grabbed the camera and the best photographer in the family (which happens to be Reagan), and got this picture just for you. So there you have it. I'm even smiling! Like I'm having fun or something.

I WAS smiling...........until I downloaded this picture onto my blog and started over analyzing it. That smile disappeared fast! I'm getting old! When did I get all those wrinkles in my forehead (or as Elle calls it - "headboard")? Or resurfacing teenage acne for that matter? When did I get that mole? And I realize it's very late and my make-up was put on WAY back at the beginning of this tiring day, but when did I get big bags and wrinkles under my eyes? YOU must have seen it coming. THAT'S why you wanted a picture! Oh YA! THAT'S why I couldn't find one!
