Shallow, But True!

I must preface this post with the disappointing news that I seem to be going through a horribly shallow phase right now. It comes and goes - yesterday I stopped myself from critiquing the Golden Globe Awards. It seemed shallow in light of my friend's email from Zambia, where she is currently helping Africans deal with the AIDS crisis. I determined that I wasn't going to post anything unless it was going to be not shallow.

But today I realized that that's what this blog is for me though, somewhere to release shallow, sometimes snarky, comments about the world I live in. And I'm okay with that...I think. I know who I am and it's certainly not ALL shallowness inside...

...which is a great segue into what I'd like to point out today. I was looking at a picture of Mira Sorvino with her cute infant son (I forget why I was looking at this picture) when I noticed that her son and my son have the exact same booties! Which got me to thinking - Mira and I have appear to have more in common than just looks (you may remember that I was a 75% match to Ms. Sorvino using myheritage.com). First off, our names are fairly similar..I'm not going to give anything away, but anyone who knows my real first and maiden name might agree. We got married three weeks apart and we had babies almost one year to the day apart.

Now, there are a few key differences, such as she being 39, Italian and 5'10". Another difference is that she married a man 14 years younger than her, and oh yeah, she's a beautiful, Oscar-winning actress! However, out of all the idiotic actresses out there, I feel like her and I would be able to converse easily and find that we are very similar in our outlook. Unless we were talking in Mandarin, which she is fluent in...then our conversation might not flow so well. But hey, our babies have the same Robeez booties!
