Celebrity Look Alike?

Oct 20, 2011

So obviously I've been pretty bummed lately about my employment situation and feeling like a negative Nancy.  I'm trying to snap out of it and a week after the fact I'm finally starting to look forward to the future. 

In an effort to cheer myself up, I met with an old friend yesterday for a drink (yes, I had a glass of wine).  As we were sitting there, these two cute old guys got up and left the bar.  They stood briefly outside the door, appeared to be talking about something important, and then one of them came back into the bar and headed right towards me.  He tapped me on the shoulder and gestured to his friend who was standing in the doorway.  "We just wanted to let you know that you look like that Barrymore girl.  You know, the one from the movies."  I blushed, thanked him and he said "Yeah, we just wanted you to know that.  You look just like her!"  So I thanked him again and him and his friend once again went on their ways.  It was so cute.

Back in my skinnier days, I got the Drew Barrymore thing all the time.  People would come up to me and say it and I'd just blush and laugh.  I have never seen it, but I've had enough strangers (including my husband before we met) say it that I guess there must be some truth to it.  If only I was that skinny and cute!  Sadly, it's been years since I've heard that, though.  The last fifty pounds I put on moved me out of "occasional human celebrity look alike" to "hungry, hungry, hippo look alike".  But ladies and gentlemen...I've got it back!  Woohoo!
