12,776th day

What does one do the day after their birthday?

In my case, you spend it feeling awful from eating fried stuff and cake the night before, go back to bed until 11, get up and play online while waiting for the hubs to finish the first of two phone interviews for the day.  I am miserable.  After deciding it would be pajama day while the hubs and kids were at the club, I changed into a pair of pjs that would be more acceptable if someone comes to the door, which will happen at some point today. 

So, here I sit on the 12,776th day of my life on earth (a friend reminded me yesterday that I've been on earth for 35 years, I thought I'd break it down) in my pajamas playing on the laptop.  My friends know I'm an information junkie and I've had more than one person call me to ask something while starting the conversation with "Kerry, you know everything…" to which I usually reply "yes."  What I hear quite often is "how do you know that?" and "where did you find that?" if I send a link in an email or post something like the Kush on the old blog.  Sometimes the answer is Kirtsy.com.  Kirtsy is a site of recommended links of all kinds, categorized for your pleasure. 

Today I found something I thought you might enjoy from Kirtsy.  It's My Heritage's Celebrity Collage.  You can upload your photo and the face recognizing software shows you what celebrities you look like.  How fun is that?  I know you're dying to see mine — take a look.

I can't tell you how awesome it is to find out I resemble such great leaders of the African American community, but I have to say I'm surprised.  Condoleeza?  Okay, sure.  MLK?  I don't even have a mustache.  Beyonce?  I have to say no, I don't think so.  I'll take Shirley MacLaine, since I'm most like her character Ouiser in Steel Magnolias.  ScarJo?  I don't see that either.  How unflattering is this photo of me?  The hubs took it with my iPhone, horrible

So, I figured I should try the Celebrity Collage again, since it said "upload another photo."  Here's my second try. 

Okay, this pic looks more like me in my everyday life.  Took it with the webcam after getting my hair cut.  So, now they think I look like Drew Barrymore, Brit Brit, a Malaysian pop singer, perhaps the greatest boxer of all time, and Sally Field.  I'm more confused than ever. 

And after looking at a few photos of myself today, I'm convinced I need an eye lift.
