So this morning a co-worker asked me if I was like the mother from Harper Valley PTA. I had to laugh because, you know what? I kinda am. A lot of you won’t remember the song because you weren’t even embryos then. But believe me I remember the song & the movie. Here ya go:
I remember this video like it was yesterday. We won’t talk about how ‘yesterday’ was 24 years go.
So last week’s Facebook game was ‘Doppleganger’ week. Everyone was posting new profile pictures of celebrities they’ve been told they look like.
Um. The only celebrity I’ve ever been told I resemble is Queen Latifiah. And as much as I adore her…both of us being strong women of larger stature does not automatically mean we look alike. Now we might carry ourselves in the same way–but looks? Nope.
I really don’t have a celebrity doppleganger (and me wanting to be Stifler’s mom does not count). So I asked around and I got a few different answers, so I’ll let you decide. Do I resemble any of these folks below or someone else entirely?
Janeane Garofalo: I like Janeane and am not opposed to her being my doppleganger, but I think it’s more attitude than looks that people see.
Toni Collette: I am amenable to this comparison.
And my favorite….Jessica Rabbit: (I wish)
So what do you think? Any of these work? Who do you think is my doppleganger?
The snow finally came Friday. But not until it was dark. We had at least 4 hours of nonstop sleet prior to the fluffy stuff, so when the snow finally did start falling, it had at least an inch of solid ice to stick to.
We had to get creative with our sledding because we don’t get much snow here, so we don’t have sleds.
so we used boxes
I was a snow bunny for a day
and my oldest was too cool for pics…as usual. He tried to hide, but I caught him a time or two.
so we’ve had our winter storm and now I’m ready for spring.
Oh and can you believe it’s February 1st? Where the heck did January go!!!!
I needed a pick-me-up so I found me some Beavis and Butthead and laughed my ass off. Yes, I’m mature like that.
So for your enjoyment, because I know you’re as mature as I am, I give you, B&B:
No Laughing uuuuuuuh Burritos?
Rico Suave….
I feel better…don’t you?
I’ll be the cute one hanging out with a group of hotties, drinking beer and winning money*.
*I’m trying the power of positive thinking. I’ll let you know how that works out of me…
Because it’s OPENING DAY AT OAKLAWN!
Me and my girls are gonna go see the ponies run, like we do every year on opening day. Pictures to follow next week. I can’t wait!
if you wann read about previous trips, and see pics of me with Hot Springs’ very own version of Huggy Bear, click the “oaklawn” label at the bottom of this post and enjoy!
I’m not usually a big Reba fan, but I really dig this song.
Happy Friday folks. Have a great weekend. Consider me gone…until Monday!
The other band that will be there is Daughtry! I am so stoked about seeing them live. Actually, the year Chris Daughtry didn’t win American Idol is the year I stopped watching that show. Here’s the video for LIFE AFTER YOU
Now, if I could just figure out what I’m going to wear. I know I’ll be cute…just how cute?
Big plans this weekend? Last minute shopping, baking, partying?
The bad news is, I didn’t win Powerball last night.
The good news is, nobody else did either.
I don’t play the lottery every week, but I do play on occasion. I have a specific set of numbers I play each time and then I’ll do a quick pick or two.
I love to play lottery math and figure out how I’m going to divide out the money. It’s the only kinda math I’m really good at.
Because I also spend an enormous amount of time daydreaming about the beach, I devote much of my lottery winnings on a beach house. Now my dream home would be the house from the Thomas Crown Affair (if Pierce Brosnan came with the house, that would just be a bonus.) Of course, THAT house is on a private island somewhere…even if I win the Powerball, my guess is, it won’t be enough for a private island.
So, I’ll settle for Florida. 🙂
Maybe I’ll win the lottery for Christmas. Then I could really exercise my mind and do lottery math for real!
Do you play the lottery? Do you have specific numbers you always play or do you just Quick Pick?
I’ve been invited to speak to the Bryant Hornet Reading Club this morning. I’m totally stoked! I hear some of my former teachers may make an appearance. Not sure if I’m ready to face that music yet.
I mean, I was a good girl despite the fact that I spent several weeks of my senior year in D-hall. I wasn’t being bad, I was just misunderstood.
I swear.
Hmmm, maybe I should’ve prepared something to talk about in advance.
Ooops.
Oh well, good thing I’m a talker. No telling what I might decide to discuss today!
