Life Lessons: Self Portraits

I was going through the photos on my phone and was reminded of a little life lesson I learned recently, and decided to share it. :)

A few weeks ago, I had a doctor appointment to have a little procedure done. I got to the office, checked in and sat down to wait for my turn. It wasn't an unreasonable length of time before they called me back. I did the whole thing: blood pressure, height, weight, pee in a cup, draw blood, ya know ... the works. Then I was escorted into the procedure room and instructed to disrobe as the doctor would be with me shortly. No problem there. I've done this a hundred times, and at this point I literally have no shame. I'd sit there naked if they told me to. lol.

Well, about an hour after sitting in that freezing cold room dressed only in a sheet that was strategically put together with Velcro I got bored. I had already stalked all my people on facebook, text chatted, played all my Words with Friends games... then I get a text from my husband:

J: how's it going?

Me: still haven't seen the doctor yet, just sitting here. bored, naked and cold. :)

J: really? Hmm... send me a picture.

Me: lol, ok!

 

 

So I start trying to pose for this sure-to-be-amazing nude portrait to send to my husband. (Don't judge me... :) I know most of you have done this!!) I was mid-striking a pose with my "bringing sexy back" look on my face and camera in hand... then the door to my room opens! In walk my doctor and the nurse.

Oops! I started laughing immediately while making my way back to the proverbial chair. My doctor, a very funny lady I love starts laughing, but she is used to me and all my silliness. The poor nurse on the other hand, a lady in her early 60s, kinda panics. She turned back around to walk out then realized she was suppose to go in and kinda does this bob and weave maneuver inside the doorway before walking in and looking up to the ceiling. lol.

Life Lesson: When at the doctor's office don't wait an hour before taking naked pictures of yourself, or you'll have an audience.
