Thirty-ninth president, 1977–1981
When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. He also could not do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, rippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.

I guess this sort of counts as a self?
Oh well. Here's two favorite pictures of me when I was little, as well as this cool old Polaroid camera I bought a few years ago.
I've been wanting a pair of moccassin boots for a while now. I was scouring the internet for a cheap pair but I couldn't find anything under 50. I ended up getting a pair from Nordstrom with a gift card I had. I'm in love with them!

Kimberly: "Bastante coisa?? Mimia Lana, você não aprendeu NA-DA que eu te ensinei nos últimos meses??"
Mimia: "Exemplo...??"
Kimberly: "A bolsa tudo bem, foi pra vovó... Mas a tia Poly mandou muuuito mais coisa, cade aquilo tudo??"
Mimia: "Deve tar guardado, né... Pra El..."
Kimberly: "NÃO-FALA-ESSE-NOME!!"
Mimia: "Pra... 'ela', então!!"
Kimberly: "Hunf... Já vai chegar arrumando encrenca!!"
