Who dat?

Peet, Amanda

Have you ever been told that you look like a celebrity?

I personally haven’t, in person anyway. This this one guy that I’ve known online for about 10 years always said that I resembled the actress Amanda Peet. She’s not all that famous, and when I see her I think she’s absolutely gorgeous (does that mean I’m vain? Since I “look” like her?)! But she has a different facial structure than me — I think, in most of her photos and her eyes are nothing like mine. Or are they? I wish I had her thick luxurious thick head of hair. My hair only looks like that when it’s first blow dried and has split ends. McPoofy Galore. That, and she has huge chompers. Or needs a private placement memorandum.

A lot of people were on facebook, a few days ago posting their celebrity doppelganger. I decided to post a photo of Amanda Peet, as my profile photo. I think she fits the bill, pretty accurately. In fact, one of my cousins commented and said Amanda looks just like me with bangs. I’m flattered though. What do you all think? Especially the people who read this blog (and never comment) who know me in person. At least my cousin Holly agrees.

This is the picture that I used:

Maybe I should sport them? I haven’t had bangs since I grew them out in 7th grade. Shame the boyfriend hates all bangs, though and I know I’d get sick of them fairly quickly. There’s a reason I never cut them again. Right?

I’ve also been told I look a lot like my cousin (the one who told me I look like Amanda Peet). We all could be triplets that are all 15 years apart.

Shu-zam-oww!

Where is the time going?

Not that I’m thinking about even remotely getting pregnant right now. But the forums that I go to, and have grown relationships with Mom’s throughout the years I’ve been on the internet are incredible. So much so that I even considered booking a flight down to see one of my “internet friends” in California. I chickened out, obviously.

Anyway, it’s funny because I feel like I’m prepared to babysit anyone elses kid, but have one of my own. Know what I mean? I’m the most FUN babysitter ever – mainly because I let kids go wild for a bit then it’s quiet time. They think that’s pretty cool. However, toddlers on the other hand can scream their heads off wanting their parents back. You can read up on some Toddler Articles to see why they react this way, etc. Toddlers aren’t so fun to babysit, and I haven’t done that in about 10 years. In fact, I don’t think I’ve babysat a kid for 5 or 6 years.

Gym mis-haps

what-gives

[click to enlarge]

On days that I go to the gym, or have a gym session scheduled, I write it down on my desktop calendar at work. If I don’t attend the fitness class it gets whited out and forgotten and maybe a bit of guilt in there too. But what I don’t like is that when I view my class schedule online, that I HAVE attended it says that I was absent. What’s up with that? That’s not right and I know I attended on January 25, since it wasn’t whited out on my calendar.

It may be nit-picky of me, but I’m not one for a “no-show” and not cancel my spot online. We’re supposed to register online for classes, and if you’re not registered — you probably won’t get in, because the spots fill up fast. Or, if you can’t make it — you should cancel your classes. Which is what I always do.

Just a little thing that irks me. I want them to change it to “signed in” like all my other classes!

Check out today. I’m already absent and the class hasn’t even started.

Sad day.

I guess this is why I’ve been keeping track of my gym progress elsewhere since their site seems to be unreliable for correct information.
