Found a super cute Website: My Parents Were Awesome. People submit pictures of their parents back during their parents’ heyday. The pictures are great. There’s a timelessness about many of the pictures… yeah, there’s a lot of 60’s and 70’s silliness going on but the people could so easily be popped out and plopped into right now. And there’s a wonderful amount of smiles and happiness that I just enjoy seeing.
I remember when I was about 15, we found some old pictures of my parents. My dad had a goatee and my mom was reclining on a leopard print pillow looking gorgeous. If I had these pics, I’d submit them. But Lisa lost them. Dangit.
Most of the guys look like porn stars and extras from the movie Deliverance, and the girls look like deer frozen by car headlights.
Are you having a bad day?

I wonder if my kids will ever post my pictures there?
It’s the holiday season, and I’m not in a holiday mood.
Sorry.
And to top that off, I saw the movie ‘2012’ last night
and those freaking Mayans knew way back in da day that Danny Glover would be President (yes, Virginia, there is actually something worse than “Barack Hussein Obama”) when the earth’s crust shifts and only a select few of us are placed on arks the size of Oprah Winfrey’s butt. Oh, and the main character’s son is named Noah. I’m not sure which element of this movie is the most distressing. Hence my less-than-sugary mood.
