Look Alike?


Has anyone ever noticed that Craig looks alot like the lead singer of Rascal Flatts, Gary Lavox? I know people have said this to him before, but he doesn't want to look it up because he's not a big fan of country. That's the understatement of the year, perhaps. Anyway, he definately looks like him! I can't get the photos side by side, but Craig's the one on the left, if you're confused. Very obviously, the hair has a lot to do with it.

Who do you look like, anyone famous? People tell me I look like the girl that was Ally McBeal, Calista Flockhart, but I don't see that one at all. (Isn't she dating the very much older Harrison Ford?) When I was working for Three Five Systems, one of the guys there signed me up to be the president of her fan club. I wonder what ever happened with that? - if there are presidential duties somewhere that I'm not fulfilling? Maybe, this is definately one of the oddest postings we've done, but Mallory is the one who saw Rascal Flatts on TV and said, Hey - That guy looks like Craig!

We resolve...

I try not to make any resolutions, as I usually break them within the first month or so. And this year I find myself with a lot of 'tasks', not really resolutions, ie. get a job! plan the wedding? Not including those, these are the things that will guide us through the year.
  • Stop swallowing my gum. You might think this would be a Mal or Nick thing, but its one for me. Its getting really bad (up to 3 pcs a day!) and I don't even know why I do it? My mouth starts to water and down it goes. The kids like to remind me that it will stay there for 44 years if I continue. What to say? Children are very good at 'policing' their parents in the hopes of catching them doing the very things we've previously told them not to do.
  • Keep rooms clean and organize the house. This one is Nick's. He is a very good little organizer, but he is only 8. Stuff gets put away, but maybe not in the place you'd usually expect to find it necessarily or he will throw it away. He has promised Mallory and I that he will not 'file' anything away of ours without telling us.
  • Not surprisingly, Mallory couldn't think of anything, but I came up with 2 for her.
  1. Community service. There is a school for homeless kids that has a clothing room Mallory might work at. My hope is to let her see kids that don't have it as good as she thinks she doesn't.
  2. No more pet sitting from school, I'm afraid. More on the biggest bullfrog I've ever seen in the next post maybe.
