The Real Me

A lot of bloggers/tweeters have been posting photos or videos of themselves sans makeup, waking up in the morning or with oreos in their teeth. It’s part of POTSC’s Real Me campaign.  I’m like, “Yeah, like I’m going to do that.”

And I actually was going to.

But, oh, this is good…

I thought I’d go one step further.

I’m showing you the inside of my van.  [gasp].

And I’m going to take a video right now before I chicken out or clean up.

That’s worse than me without makeup, I promise.

As of right now imma gonna tell you what I have in there: two leftover cupcakes from yesterday’s class party, an unused carseat, an empty juice box, Hope’s riding chaps, lip gloss, my purse, a coat, a scarf, some crocs for the kids, tons of books,and so many other things.

So. Many. Other. Things.

So that’s it. You have me, without the clean up I do before someone rides in my car, before the clean up I do before I drive to the car wash. You have the van that I live in most of the day in all it’s goldfishy-glory.

The real me. Without airbrush, without a dustbuster.

In the spirit of authenticity and genuineness, here I am.

What do you “clean up” for others?

If you’ve done a “real me” photo, leave the link in your comment. I’d love to see it!

  1. we live in our car. i start to get “stressed” if it gets too messy. we do a “take all your stuff in the house or it will get thrown out” day every other day or so and i vacuum it out every week or so. i am always amazed at what treasures i do find in there – crazy.

    thanks for sharing … definitely brought a smile to my face and made me laugh.

    LOL That looks just like MY van! It’s so nice to know someone else’s van looks that bad. Seriously, I have a big grin on my face right now. Too funny. Thanks for showing us!
