wherein I get dressed up and apply makeup(!)

A couple of my friends and even a few blog acquaintances have posted recently with pics of them wearing (gasp!) makeup and real outfits. They each mention that they feel so much more capable and womanly when fully dressed. Which reminded me that I used to do that (and feel that) once in awhile too, way back when. So this past Sunday when I happened to have a few minutes more than usual, I used them to get a bit more dolled up than normal. Felt weird, I'm not going to deny it. Since when do I have naturally curly hair, you ask? Since I quit using regular shampoo methods and started "plopping" for awhile after every shower, that's when. We're not going to mention the eye wrinkles, mm-kay? thanks.
Of course, I couldn't help but turn the camera back on the photographers (both took pics of me, only one made the cut) in their finery. Boy #3 wasn't available for the photo op as he was still eating breakfast. Or messing with the cat. Or something. I don't really remember. But last Sunday he looked like this (don't worry, he had different pants on for church that actually fit and matched):
