"Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Writing Well"
I just noticed that “In Three Words” is defunct … and I miss it. I miss trying to caption a picture in just three words. It’s a great exercise in being concise.
So … I thought I’d take the original idea and expand it a bit. I hope the owner doesn’t mind too much. Wanna play? 🙂
Give this picture a caption in four words.

I’m nearly unconscious in this picture.
This is me, on my honeymoon and on the romantic and beautiful island of Cozumel Mexico. We had stopped to take a break and I had to sit down because I was feeling faint and quite nauseous.
Notice what I’m wearing. A heavy-cotton button-up blouse, snug jean shorts and shoes and socks.
In 90 degree weather.
On a tropical island.
Where the humidity was so thick it was hard to catch your breath.
Hence the reason I nearly passed out. I had a serious case of heat stroke.
I overdressed for our tropical trip. I had no idea, no freaking idea, that it would be that hot.
But I was naive and inexperienced. I had never been out of Missouri, let alone the country, so I honestly had no clue what to pack – obviously.
I was miserable the entire time we were there. Simply because I was too stupid to pack the right clothes.
Heck, I’d have been better off running around naked.
Kevin would have liked that.
I might have caused blindness in the natives, though.
When we went back to visit Cozumel this past June, I was prepared. I wore light-weight stretchy shorts (notice the jean shorts I’m wearing in this picture AREN’T the stretchy kind? Stupid girl), spaghetti-strap shirts and flip flops.
I didn’t look as “put together”, but I didn’t care. I could breathe. And I kept cool.
I’m older now, being comfortable trumps being cute. 🙂
