Celebrity Freak Out

I adore movies. I relate to movies. My family is constantly quoting movies. Imagine my surprise when I looked in the mirror and realized that I reminded myself of a movie character. Imagine my horror when I realized that I could be type cast as the mother from "While You Were Sleeping." You know, the one who says "These mashed potatoes are so creamy." I had the soft under chin, plumpish shape and despite being the age that Sandra Bullock was in that movie I had a decidedly matronly air.

AURGHHHH! My computer is telling me that Aurghhhh is not a word. It has lived long enough in this house that it should realize that it, in fact, is an enormously useful word. So much for artificial intelligence. Anyway I don't want to look like the quirky bit-character in my own life. I want to look like the star. I want to feel like the star and I want to BE the star. No, I don't expect that I'll have Stacy Keebler legs or Jennifer Aniston hair and there is no way the universe is going to revolve around me (I live with three little beings who think the world revolves around them ... and it does.) But I know the feeling and the look I want to have.

And no, watching more blind auditions from The Voice is not going to give that to me. Time to start living.
