The apple DOES fall far from the tree!

I have been staying at my parents house for about a week now because I was afraid of being snowed in at my house and missing Christmas.
The older I get the more I see that I am like my mother. That is a scary thing! (no offense mom) Since "living" here this past week I have observed some interesting facts about my mother that I hadn't really seen before and these qualities are not ones that I take after. In fact, we are the complete opposite on! My mother cannot leave the house without some kind of make-up on and have cute clothes on. Even if we are going out bundled in the snow to do some quick shopping she has to look in the mirror and freshen up! :) This bugs me because I could care less and throw on a hat, sweats and a jacket to hide the fact that I am not wearing a bra! Sorry if that's TMI!!! The other thing that I have noticed is that when someone comes to the door and she is wearing her PJ's she will run upstairs open the window and yell at whoever it is to say "just a minute." She will then hurry to throw something more decent on and may even throw a towel on her head if she feels inspired to. This cracks me up! I love my mother and I am giving her a hard time. I am sure I will be exactly like her when I get older! She is beautiful and I am glad she is the way she is. Maybe I should take some notes from her in the meantime so I can get a date. jk! Those who knew me in college can attest that dating and "impressing" others wasnt my strongest subject. :)
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

It's funny that the people we try most to be different than, we are the most alike! I know that there are things that my sister does that bug me, but I do it too! :)

Hope you had a great Christmas! By the way, I loved the dress you wore to church yesterday.
