Big Sister....Little Sister

This is my sister and I

(Christmas circa 1977)

As you can see, we were

pretty much stuck to each other

(and always looking for a photo op.)

As we grew older

our interests have grown and changed as

we discovered that we did not have to wear

the same clothes and have matching hairstyles.

(who came up with that whole "twins have to match" thing anyway?)

My sister is definitely my other half.

As I am somewhat creative, she is crazy creative.

She is an amazing artist

(I can barely write yet alone draw)

and she has this incredible eye for style.

I've been asking

(hounding is more like it)

my sister to start her own blog

and share her talent with the rest of ya'll

out here in blogland.

Well, today she finally caved in.

SOOOOO

without further adieu......

I present my little sister,

my other embryo.....

Six Divided by Two.

She's already posted three posts in one day

as she is insane

(or hopped up on Starbucks...i dunno.)

Please stop by and show her some bloggy love.

I think ya'll will like her...alot.

I'm kinda partial....since we shared a womb and all.

She will definitely have you laughing.

P.S. ....

If she's not using her best manners let me know.....

(cuz I'm gonna tell Mama.)

"7 Things You Never Knew and Probably Never Even Considered Wanting To Know" about me.

1. I started going gray when I was 17.

       I faithfully color my little gray patch.

2. In January I will be a survivor.

It will be five years since I was diagnosed

with ovarian cancer and I had a hysterectomy.

I've gained considerable weight and have hot flashes

but I'm alive.

3. I met my husband at a wedding rehearsal dinner.

I had swore that I would never come back to this town

and now I live here.

God has a sense of humor.

4. I have four children.

Alex, 17

Daviss, 11,

Taylor,8

and Tori, 7.

5. I secretly long to live in San Francisco again.

It's just not that great to raise kids.

I want an apartment, a mini cooper and my dog...that's it.

6. I love the beach.

It's so peaceful to me.

(even though our water is icky brown)

7. I hate to do laundry.

It's like the plague.

It keeps coming back....eeech.
