Family money trees

It's tough to be depressed during the summer months.
With things like raspberry bushes, camping/cottages, street festivals, AND ONLINE RING SHOPPING!!!
I don't know how this became a new hobby of mine - but I think it may have something to do with not being so in love w/ my body, do I'm concentrating on an area that will remain pretty constant through these weirdo weight fluctuations I've been experiencing.
ringoblog.com - you make working in a basement sans windows a bit more bearable during the beautiful summer months.
While we're on the whole topic of "body issues" (interspersed, of course, with gorgeous, expensive distractions) - do you ever wish that you'd gained a particular attribute from either your mom or dad, that you just weren't naturally blessed with?
I was granted with my mom's nose and smile(THANKS!), and my father's sausage fingers (notsomuchofathanks!)
Going into a cheap thrills (re: Forever 21, H&M, etc.) store with fingers that resemble Kielbasa means that my eyes divert towards the bags, shoes, and hosiery.
Fair enough - BUT THINK OF ALL THE CHEAP JEWELLERY THAT COULD BE TURNING MY FINGERS GREEN!! It's cute enough to play along with that side effect!

If I'd had it my way, I'd have:
- my mom's blue eyes, and unexplainable gorgeous hands
- my dad's skin tone (sup Georgia peach?!), as well as his general attitude towards life

Such is life! SUMMER IS GRAND! Get out, and enjoy it, chumps!

I'll give you a toonie for the lion's mouth door knocker one!

Those are hype. I, too, like the lion. How much will you hate me if I tell you that I got exactly what I would want from each parent. My sisters got my mom's personality and my dad's family's looks . . . I got the opposite and am just fine with that! And I ended up being tall in a family of squats.
