TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER
- She has 5 kids: ages 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. They are all blond little sweeties and she is an AMAZING mommy.
- She can do EVERYTHING. She's definitely my Mom's daughter (even though we tell her she is adopted...or worse things, like that she is Dan's daughter - don't ask).
- She's an English teacher- disgustingly smart. She said something at Christmas as part of a normal conversation with her kids to the tune of "it's a predicate nominative with the subjective clause preceding the penultimate plural consonant digraphs in the intrasitive conjective pronoun" or something like that.
- She makes THE BEST cookie bars and coffee cake - and she makes them for me anytime I visit. And she sends them to me after I have babies, which makes me want to have more babies.
- Her kitchen is like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle: everything has its specific place in the master picture. If you turn the baking soda just a little too far to the right, nothing works. She has 16 of everything - green beans, bread, bran flakes, you name it. And they are all stacked perfectly - just like you would see in a magazine. It's slightly obsessive-compulsive, but totally amazing. Organization is an understatement, for sure.
- She lost her wedding ring once at a grocery store and the person that found it thought it wasn't real because it was SO TINY. Her fingers are like size 2, which I, sausage-link-fingers, am jealous of.
- She had "mono" during her wedding and honeymoon.
- She was stalked obsessively by a dorky kid from Illinois all through high school and college and she took pity on him and married him....and made him cool.
- Growing up, we shared a bed and she would let me sleep EVERY NIGHT with my arm under her pillow.
- She's a great Mom, Daughter, Sister and Friend.

Awww, how sweet! I hope my girls get along as well as you two when they're older.
And, seriously... I want to be her. She sounds amazing.
You totally make me smile! And maybe giggle some too! Your sister sounds as amazing as my older sister--especially since they spoil us! On a serious note, I need her blueprints for an organized, well-stocked kitchen. Seriously! Maybe she should start a blog so you could bug her!
It is very interesting for me to read this post. Thanks for it. I like such topics and anything connected to them. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
