My last few posts have been sorta sweet and remarkably snark-free, and lemme tell ya, it’s about to damn near kill me.
If I’m not mean or nasty on a regular basis, I start to get depressed. So, for purely selfish reasons, I present…Gratitude on Monday.
Dear Universe, or God, or Mother Nature, or whomever it is that we answer to:
Thank you for teaching me, so early on, what was and what was not an appropriate source of protein, vitamins and minerals.
Thank you for a source of clean drinking water.
Thank you for teaching me, at the tender age of 7, the importance of Clearasil. I got the message, so why did you make me endure that mid-nose monstrosity for six whole months? A six-month zit is a bit excessive, don’t you think?
Thank you for pants. Apparently, I didn’t see their benefit right away, but I am now firmly on the “pants are good” side of the spectrum.
Thank you for my razor sharp fashion sense. I don’t understand why Project Runway keeps turning my application down?
Thank you for this hangover. Without it, I would still be drinking Rumpleminze.
And finally, thank you for sending concrete, definitive proof that I was not meant to be a redhead. I was hoping to channel Dana Scully, but alas, I look like some bizarre Molly Ringwald/Lara Flynn Boyle hybrid. Even my husband was skeebed. I’ll stick with the generic blonde…promise.
Sincerely,
TKW

Love the snarky! No need to be grateful on Mondays.
I enjoyed the photos too.
That was Great!
You are too much! I tried to be a red head too. Want to know what happens to people with REALLY dark hair who try to go red? It turns coppertop Duracell orange. For real. And that was after a high school incident with Sun-In. I will let you finish laughing….
As for the fahion sense, I have some screaming evidence of the late 80’s early 90’s…Not cool, I assure you.
**fashion**
You are rockin the tucked in turtleneck look! =) I was right there with you and with permed hair to boot.
Perhaps you won’t believe me when I tell you that you look fantastic in all of these pictures, regardless of zits, hangovers, and/or high-waisted 80s jeans!
Awesome awesome awesome. You have no shame and I love it. Clean drinking water. ick.
You are a liar. You keep telling me (and everyone else) about how ugly you are. LIAR.
On a brighter note, I enjoy your snarky self. Please do not cave into the whole grateful lie.
: )
This is too funny!
The hangover picture is priceless!!! Don;t you love people who walk around snapping pics of you when you feel like you’re about to die?
I love all the pictures! This is the kind of stuff I am grateful for, too. My sister has a blog carnival called “Small Treasures Tuesday” and I always link up things like “my middle finger is a treasure”.
So this was such a fun post! I love seeing old photographs from people’s childhoods and adolescence…these were great. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face…I certainly need it!
You are too frickin funny. How did you not get a camel toe situation with those pants????
Since it is my job to comment six years after everyone else, I will pop in here and say I share your allergy to sweet, sunshiney posts. I, too, get twitchy after a few silver-lining-ish observations.
But even I don’t reveal how awful I looked in high school. Kudos. Fearless + honest = kickass.
I think I know why bullies picked on you – you’re so damn pretty and they were all jealous! Seriously girl – you look good with red hair too and ever so cute – even with a zit! :) xxx
I used to be recommended this web site through my cousin. I am no longer sure whether this post is written through him as nobody else realize such specific approximately my trouble. You’re amazing! Thank you!
