mary = michelle?!

not too long ago, mom sent me a text asking if i'd seen the cover of newsweek yet. i hadn't. she asked me who i thought it looked like on the cover and i became super curious as to who could possibly be on the cover! so i promptly google newsweek's cover and found the picture below!

and OMG, if that isn't my mom, i don't know who might be!! we all make a bit of fun at mom for the way she sometimes will hold open her eyes in pictures. we call it 'that face' or 'fake smile' and it cracks us up. mom's always had trouble keeping her eyes open for the flash even as a kid there are tons of her with her eyes closed. she claims sensitivity to light. in any case, her antidote to shutting her eyes is to fake smile them and hold them wide open. but don't take it from me... check out the picture below and tell me what you think!!

i think my mom should die her hair dark. i think she'd look great and then she'd look even more like the cover of newsweek!!
