It's a Royal CELEBRITY CORNER!

May has been such a busy month for me (and we still have, what, 8 days to go?). Birthdays (including my own), graduations, one BIG ward luau (more on that later), hot weather then cold weather, mega-workouts then total body crashes, and the list goes on. So busy, that I've had several blog posts I've wanted to put on here, but I've lacked the time, muscle power, mental capacity to put anything up. So today is my catch-up day. Yep that's right. I'm catching up on two blog-worthy notions that have floated around in my head the last month:

1. Royals
2. Another Celebrity Corner

And guess what? They go hand-on-hand for this blog post.

Since Will and Kate tied the know last month (which I by chance watched at 2 a.m. AZ time on YOUTUBE...totally not planned), I've been thinking about the royal family. Specifically, I've been thinking about the ones I like, the ones I'd like to look like, and the ones that I'd like to forget. All this thinking got me to thinking that some of them actually look like some people I know. And this was perfect, you know, because I've been needing another Celebrity Corner victim...

So today, ladies and gents, I'll spotlight one of those look-a-likes for you.

Exhibit A: The beautiful, gracious Princess Diana




Exhibit B: The equally beautiful, BFF Teddy Armstrong




See the resemblance??

Let's take a closer inspection. Here's their commonalities:

Short, blonde hair? CHECK
Tall and thin? CHECK
Lovely angled face? CHECK
Athletic? Double CHECK
Exceptional mother? CHECK

And now here's some more pics.



(I found it extra ironic that both of them have a blonde and red head boy. Actually Teddy has two blondies, but still I like to think it's ironic...)







Great mommy...





And here's the family shots. Although, I do have to say that Teddy's husband isn't a royal frog/jerk...so maybe there ARE some differences....



And here we are at the stake Halloween bash last fall. T as a disco queen (only 17!) and me as Hermione Granger.



Here's a shout out to one of my bestest friends on the planet! Thanks Teddy for being there for me. You've always got a special place in my heart. You're royalty in my eyes, for sure.
