The Sweetie finally succumbed and joined Facebook. I have been too frightened of the whole thing and have resisted. This of course didn’t stop me from pouncing on mutual friends’ Facebook pages and checking out their profiles and photo albums. Imagine my horror to discover the absolute worst photo I have ever seen of myself posted for all to see. I do not take a good picture under the best of circumstances. I always manage to have photos circulating of myself with my mouth contorted or my eyes half closed. I freeze the minute a camera is pulled out and have never figured out my best side or angle. I am used to seeing bad pictures of myself. I expect it even. Nothing, however, prepared me for this monstrosity. The Sweetie gasped when he saw it. “Don’t look at it!” he shouted in horror, but it was too late. Hideous.

Hideous as well that it was posted. There is no way that the postee could have looked at this photo and thought for a second that it was remotely flattering or necessary to post it.

Luckily mean girls can be negated by sweet ones. My lovely friend and culinary goddess from The Sweet Kitchen brought me a cheesecake the other day. Just because. Just because. It was perfection and was devoured in no time. All except one piece, which I gobbled to push down the bile from the hideous photo posting incident.

Mean girl verses sweet girl with cheesecake? No contest. Sweet girls win and my little universe is tasty again.
