Last week I had a lovely case of pinkeye.It lasted all week. One. Whole. Week. The kids and I were stuck at home because I was trying to not spread my icky eye germs around. Here is what I looked like:

Except I didn't bother wearing that much makeup.
If you think about it, though, Natalie Portman and I DO have a lot in common. (And it's not just our stunning beauty, but you're really sweet to say that!) For example, Natalie graduated from Harvard University and I graduated from the school people go to when they are rejected from Harvard. She is an Academy Award winning actress and in third grade I won the spelling bee! She is engaged to a talented choreographer, Benjamin Millepied, and almost every weekend my husband choreographs a trip to Waffle House and Home Depot with the kids. As Zac Posen's muse, Natalie often wears his gorgeous gowns and I, too, can rock my Zac Posen for Target sundress, if I do say so myself. See? I told you! Uncanny, isn't it?
PS. If you ever get pinkeye, I'd advise you to steer clear of any preschools- let's just say the staff wasn't happy to see me coming. It was like I'd waltzed through the door after escaping from a leper colony and, infected with the flu, planted kisses on everyone in sight. Apparently, they don't take kindly to highly infectious diseases in schools. Hmph. I bet that's where I got it in the first place.
