My apologies for disappearing for three hundred years. While working is wonderful and provides much needed funds it does not always provide ample blogging time.
On Sunday we went to the in-laws for a memorial day BBQ. My nephews, Sam (6) and Davis (4) were there. They somehow managed to get a 2 litter bottle of 7up open and drank almost the entire thing before anybody noticed. Needless to say they were completely bonkers for the whole night. Sam was jumping on the couch shouting "cash is king! cash is king!" and laughing hysterically While Davis just kind of sat down. He was not jumping so much as he was pretty much cross-eyed and loopy. It was as if he was really stoned.
These boys will always be very near and dear to my heart as they both learned to say F**k by the age of two. Judge if you will, but hearing a tiny little voice drop an f-bomb is one of the funniest things I have ever experienced.
After the nephews had sugar crashed and were sleeping on the couch. We sat around the table talking. It was typical boring grown up talk about the usual stuff, mortgages, summer vacations (Hawaii for us Whoop! Whoop!), school fund raisers, plans for fathers day and that the world is ending in 2012 so don't buy Christmas gifts.
Wait what was that last part?
Oh right, according to my mother in law in 2012 we are all gonna die so save your money. No need to buy a tree or gifts, the planets are colliding and it's all ending. Armageddon will finally arrive. It's not a rumor. It's true!
She said it all calmly and very matter of fact. Like "I would love a glass of wine"
I am up to speed on the theories of 12/12/12. And dropped my two cents that it's a "theory" that yes the myan calander ends on that date but that there is no proof that all plants will collide and the world will end. I also said that it is most likely on par with the whole Y2K panic. She disagreed, said she saw the whole special on the discovery chanel and that wheather I like it or not the world is ending.
Hence the title of the post.

I always love the stories you come away with from the in-laws. Awesome. Just put the money you're saving not buying them presents away in an emergency booze and painkiller fund so y'all can end things in STYLE, should the Armageddon occur fo' real.
Oh, well, at least I won't have to endure a 50th birthday then.
I became fascinated with this awhile ago and I found a lot of stuff about it being a "new phase" for humanity. The world as we know it may end - meaning there may be a new phase of human enlightenment. I like this theory better that colliding planets, so I'm sticking with it. :) And honestly, I feel like the world is on a somewhat positive trajectory, figuring out how we should treat each other and our planet, and realizing what really matters in life. I'm crossing my fingers that 2012 will be the beginning of pure awesomeness.
Tracy--
WORD. I'll just go to COSTCO and drain their supply of xanax and patrone silver. Sounds like a good combo.
Linda--
Hahaha, That's funny :)
Mel--
I agree with you. It's usually not whatever people are fearing it is. But sadly, most people are very very dumb and will run around screaming that the end is near. Eventhough it isnt. I am with you on crossing fingers. I really hope it is an amazing turn around too.
