I've gotten Meryl in the celebrity look alike game, and it's off putting as an early 20something, but as I settle into this side of the slope toward the big 3-0, I'm embracing it.
I can't embed the clip, but check her out winning her oscar for Sophie's Choice back in the day.
I mean she's frumpy but fabulous. And so confident yet warm. C'mon - there are worse celebs to be compared to.
This Fall I was embodying Renee Zellweger AS Bridget Jones. And this past weekend I watched that movie for the first time in ten years or so...

- "This can't be just shagging - a minibreak means true love" - the pitfall of expectations going into every weekend in the country with a special manfriend
- BJ's crying in the tub is the exact reason I don't take baths
- Colin First's kick move in the Hugh Grant fight is the nail in my coffin of undying love for him
