am I a total B (biaaaatch!) because I do NOT believe every baby is cute? am I producing rotten karma? if I have any kids, will I continually be lied to about how cute they are (but really are not?!). gasp!
well, let's be real. I am part Polish. Yup, Pollock alert! and proud! Anyway, everyone who's worth a damn knows that Polish kids are always the cutest. Maybe it's their pumpkin heads? big eyes? all-around awesomeness? whatever the answer is, I have much confidence that if I have kids (emphasis on "if" there), it/they will be very cute to unbelievably cute on the cuteness scale. anyway, whenever i have to talk to a parent of one of the uncute babies i frequently spy (so what, I a have high standards maybe!), i feel like they are waiting for a compliment on how cute their awkward looking baby is...so I just say, "oh he has such a silly laugh!" or "awwwe, she has so much personality already!" and i try to give a mediocre compliment while sidestepping the whole "awww, your baby is so so cute!" lie. i just cannot help myself! My parents raised me to be honest. and i know every parent out there wants to hear how amazing their offspring is, so i consider my compliments a compromise.
i bring this unusual topic up because i have been seeing these really not-so-cute baby pictures all over Facebook as of late, and when i read comments like, "OMG, Meg, your daughter is a DOLL!" and then i look at the pic of said "doll," i am like, whaaaa? are my eyes broken? or are people just taking crazy pills? these kids might be cute one day, or even quite handsome/beautiful, but that day is not today. nor was it last week and guess what? probably won't be this Easter, either. oh well. one of my favorite quotes is "fake it till you make it!" and it's encouraged me quite a bit through my life (no, i am not ashamed to admit that), so i can't rag on others who are striving to fake it till they make it, either.
am I a bad person? or just have a different approach to some subjects...i think it's the latter. besides...why would parents care what I have to say? i'm not the authority. (but i DO have the cutest niece ever.)
so i think yesterday i semi-promised new pics. well, i haven't done much in my life lately (like, in the last 24 hours) that's been very photo worthy, so the best i can do is throw in a few randoms form the last month. don't worry, i will save the creepiest for last.
yessss, Chipotle for dinner last night! what a treat!
this was one of a series of photos I took
while in Fort Myers that proved
I was waiting on James
to get his bum out the door.
PROOF! I was ready before him!!
At our hotel TIki Bar one night with my parents...
really fun bar and night!
as promised....
creepiest picture saved for the end!
this is at HOT PLATE, a fun and funky eatery just east of our house. We popped in here for breakfast after church a couple weekends ago and had a fun time taking in all the crazy vintage artwork on display...on display in every nook and cranny of the small joint! it was cool, food was great (bacon pancake? YES please!) and it was a fun time! would def recommend and return.
hooray for wednesday! it is almost the almost-weekend phase of the week!
