thank you mother.

Well, tonight I am writing a bit of a different blog than I usually post. Soon, and by soon I mean soon, this blog will take on a new purpose and I will be writing about very different things. I will fill you in at a later time. For now, what is important is that I have a problem... a genetic problem...

me and my sweet mama

I inherited many beautiful things from both of my parents. Just to name a few.. my curly hair [that is always easy to fix], my dimples [from my daddy], and my teeth [which were originally ridiculously crooked but now look great thanks to 6 years of braces]. Mostly, I am rather content with my gene pool and the cards I got dealt. However, there is one thing I contracted from my sweet mother that I could probably have done without. I've been told it was passed from her mother, and pretty much runs in the female family line. Many of you are aware of this defect that we share... I like to call it: The Late Gene. 

What is The Late Gene you ask? It is an intricate part of my DNA that inherently causes me to be fashionably late everywhere I go, and in everything I do. If I'm going to the movies, I'm missing the first 2 previews at least. If I'm eating with a friend, I'll be leaving the house at the time I'm supposed to be at the restaurant. If I'm going to church, I'll be slipping in the back row as the music starts. If I'm getting up at 9, I'll be up at 9:10. If I'm going to bed by 2, I'll be up until 2:15. Really people, its like a disease. It's unstoppable. So, the next time you want me somewhere, you better tell me 10 minutes earlier than you tell everyone else. Its bad, I know. But hey, what you see is what you get! Its a good thing that time doesn't really matter in Haiti... or "Waity", as some like to call it! haha.

Anyway.... basically, thank you Mom for this sweet defect you infected me with. Love youuuuuu.
