Good thread Shay! Funny that you started this-I have thought about starting one myself. When all I see is a screen name, I tend to put my own idea of a face with a name. Then when I see a pic of a person, I am so surprised at how wrong my vision was! For instance, I always pictured you with dark hair, dark eyes. Don't know why. And Nungesser....I saw pics of him, and said "that's Nungesser!" It is really neat to put real faces/names together. When I figure out how to post a pic of me and dh, I will!

Amysue...I thought the same thing "I wonder what they look like?" I always put a face to people too and think man I was totally off or I was right on when I see them.

I have blonde hair as you can see and hazel eyes.

I hope the directions I gave will help you to post a pic!

You two look great, but FINALLY we get to see the pugs that I have been hearing so much about!!!! Cute! I want to get a black pug too, but then the hair situation can't be controlled. Now I can just make sure I have cream colored bed linens and sofas. The hairs blend right in! If I get a black pug, we will be doomed to show the pug hairs to every guest that comes over. Now we can sort of hide them with our choice of colors!

Here I am with my little guy in Moscow on the second trip. Not many photos of me since then, as I always seem to be the one holding the camera! (Or is it just because I'm always too tired to pose?!) LOL
