Hate, hate, hate.<\/p>\n<p>When I was asked for a picture for my book cover, I wanted to find an old picture&#8211;from when I was about five.  Instead I decided to cowgirl up and take some friends out into the woods with me to see what we could come up with.  I hoped for something funny, or if not that, freakishly Southern.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I hated all of the pictures because I always hate all pictures of me.  However, I did force myself to pick out these three as possibilities.

It&#8217;s me sitting in front of the gate that blocks the road to the family vacation home.  I suspect the gate was erected specifically to keep me out.  There&#8217;s nice stuff down there&#8230;a Yahtzee game, some canned beans, a couple a tiki torches.  I don&#8217;t think my brothers wanted me getting into any of that.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there are some tiny pine trees growing inside the bbq grill.  If I&#8217;d had a cookout, I could have ruined everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I might mention first that I hate having my picture<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-about-me"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
