Bad Hair Day
Last Sunday morning I was washing my face and getting ready to take a shower when Doug came in the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and said, “Hey! Our hair looks a lot alike!”
Not a statement a woman wants to hear from her husband early in the morning, especially since I got a short haircut for the summer that I wasn’t entirely pleased with. Anyway, he convinced me to find some humor in it, not touch my bedhead, and go outside for a couple of self-portraits with the camera.
They say couples start to look alike as they age. I’m just hoping I don’t grow any facial hair to prove that theory.

OH my. Reminds me of the time I was moaning about how fat I was getting. "I just don't get it. I mean, you eat the same amount I do and I'm not gaining any weight," so says my 220 pound husband.

Funny, but just yesterday I was thinking that living in a culture where women wear head scarves might not be so bad. You'd never have to worry about a bad hair day!

True … to both statements. I've had to ban Doug from serving me food, and I would gladly wear a head scarf many a day.

Now you gotta share a picture of your haircut. Hint – it can't be worse than mine!

Hahaha! Just letting you know my boyfriend is thinking I’m seriously loony, because I suddenly started laughing like a crazy person when I read this post. Definitely made my day. I love Doug’s model pose in the last photo.

Doug has dreamy blue eyes, but if he’s going to compete with you, he needs to figure out where to part his hair. Sometimes my husband and I realize we’re wearing the same shirt. We need to quit shopping at Target. My parents often dress alike and it’s scary. When they went through Phoenix, people thought they both worked for the mall cleaning crew.
Ha! Ha! That’s hilarious. By the way, you made Doug’s week with your comment! Janelle

You’re both adorable. That’s the only way you resemble Doug!
There’s a theory that people choose a partner who already resembles them. I’m always staring at couples to see whether it’s true. (I’m sure they think I’m wacky, which would be true…) I’ve found many who looked like male and female versions of each other, even the young ones, while others seemed to choose someone who looked as different from them as possible. A celebrity couple that look a lot like each other are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Just look at their individual features. No wonder Tom was jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch saying he loved Katie. He was saying he’d finally found someone as beautiful as himself.
Thanks Catherine! You’re pretty adorable yourself.
