SELF-PORTRAITS..............How BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have decided that my pet peeve is having to take a picture of myself where my arms show that I am, in fact, the one taking the picture!!! I am not sure why, but it annoys the MESS out of me! When James and I went to Vegas, it was just the two of us for the most part and we had to take all of our own pictures. You may wonder why we did not just ask someone to take the picture for us! Well, James does not like to ask people to do that and he would not let me ask people to do it, because he did not want to be a bother to other "TOURIST......I mean VACATIONERS". So most of our pictures are of us holding the camera up for ourselves (trying not to let out arms be seen, but come on they are so close up that you know we took them ourselves), or taking pictures of each other. That is not fun cause we went on the trip together so I wanted to be in pictures together. So anyways we were out one day and we were taking each other's picture in front of a random hotel in Vegas and the sweetest little old man came up and asked if we wanted him to take our picture together (hallelujah)!!!!!!!!! Yes we wanted him to! I wanted him to join us on the trip and take all of our pictures together, but alas.........he did not! He told us that he and his wife used to travel a lot and had pictures of pretty much just each other by themselves and he always said that if he saw people doing that he would offer to take their picture together so later in life when they looked back on their travels, they would remember their times "TOGETHER" What a sweet little man! The last picture is the one he took. All the others are SELF-PORTRAITS.........I know, I know, I HATE THEM TOO (self-portraits that is, not these pictures)!!!!!!!!!!
