My daughter drew a picture of me at school yesterday.
N: Mama, I even included your red hair!
This is pretty much the awesomest picture ever of me, but am I sporting a lip ring? A cigarillo?
At least I finally have an avatar of myself that didn’t take 74 photographs to like. Who ISN’T going to recognize me?
SEE? I just need that lip ring.
I also learned at a back-to-school night that 6 to 12 year olds become more interested in organizing their inner worlds than their outer worlds. Our home is screwed because my kids would already rather go to bed than clean up their toys, and between the people who most often compliment my hair and my personal housekeeping skills, I’m no more than 7 years old myself.
Maybe we can sell Avatars By N to afford some weekly help around here.

What does that mean inner world and outer world? What’s an example of each?
P.S. I already complimented on fb but that is an excellent drawing!
So organizing your outer world is like laying everything out neatly before using it. Organizing your inner world is trying to figure out where your belong in the world or more practically: how my desk is a mess but could tell you where I need to be at 11 today without looking at my calendar.
Lovely portrait.
Kent drew a portrait of me around that age in which I was legs and a head. I guess he noticed I’m tall.
That is awesome! You have some voluptuous eyelashes.
Both my inner and outer worlds are a mess. Your imitation of your daughter’s picture, however, made everything align somehow into a cosmic laugh.
And I realized I forgot to hook my giveaway up with your website and it’s over tomorrow. Sorry! My mom is here and this is the first chance I’ve had all week to look at other blogs.
Love it! What an awesome picture! I would definitely frame that!
Best avatar ever!
Just bring a little chair to the mall and she can be an avatar version of a caricature artist
At least she gave you eyes and a fang.
Mine looked like a boob.
A circle with a dot.
Ooh, it totally is a fang. IT’S EVEN AWESOMER
PS. I need bigger boobs to have those register as draw-able.
She’s got you pegged!
I would totally buy an avatar by N. Tell her to take 10 pounds off and make me pretty.
