I think I’ll remember my own LIFE

Ok…ok.  Stop your bitching.  I’m posting already.  Gah!  (Or…as my favorite blog person says…Stabby Stab!). 

Anyways, todays post is another cheese fest.  J and L were being mean to me today (as usual) but then decided my topic should be all about reasons I love them.  (blah blah bullshit blah).  However, I really don’t feel like dividing this into two separate posts…so…here we go…twice the love in half the space.  Or something like that.

L

• She bought a big tube of gumballs and left them unattended in her bedroom.  Yumm…(mumble mumble no gum here mumble).  Best gumballs ever.
• She braided my hair for me when she had time (and didn’t yell at me for crying…or try to give me a face lift at the same time).  What can I say?  I have a VERY sensitive scalp (actually…I sometimes feel like crying even now while getting my hair done). 
• She doesn’t mind feet and offers to give me pedicures (for free!).
• She tries to make me beautiful by trying to pluck my eyebrows (I don’t let her…but I know she cares).
• She pretty much ignored me growing up (which was good…I already had one older sister being mean to me)
• When I was in high school she lived at home (I think she was in law school?  I don’t remember) and I hung out with her more.  We went to the bookstore and the mall together all the time.  She was awesome.
• She always used to pay for me in high school and college (even when she had no money of her own).
• Whenever I had problems in college she was the first person I called for advice
• She stood up for me to my mom about basketball. 
• She thought J was torturing me when I knelt on the needle and came downstairs ready to kill her
• She saved the letters I wrote her when she was in college (maybe not ALL of them…but I know of at least one that was hysterical…that she shared with me a year ago). 
• She can’t do math to save her life.  And we won’t mention the dubious science knowledge either (I’ll always laugh at the balloon incident).
• She was fun to go running with
• She tied me to a chair with a jumprope when I was a kid.
• She’s a very fun, caring person that I know will always be willing to help me if she can and she is just amazing. 

J

• Big Baby/Little Baby.  Yeah…that’s really all I need to say about that one.
• She used to play Barbies with me all the time when I was younger.  But she always got to be Ellen…and I was always Dana.  She convinced me that Dana was a big loser and everyone liked Ellen better.  I FINALLY beat her to claiming Ellen one day…and she told me that Ellen was no longer cool and everyone now liked Dana.   
• She wrote me a really nice and sweet letter for confirmation.  I still have it.
• She posts comments on my blog!  I LOVE getting comments haha.
• She’s really fun to go on trips with.  We usually like the same type places so I don’t feel bored or anxious going to different places with her.
• She helped L tie to me to the chair.
• She was there when I knelt on the needle and tried to make me feel better and held my hand in the emergency room.
• She told me she liked hanging out with L more than me b/c they were closer in age.  (which is bullshit since we are all 4 years apart…but whatevers :-P)
• She’s fun to go running with (even though she hates it).
• She hated basketball as much as I did
• She likes the socks I make her and wears them proudly.
• She NEVER has tried to pluck my eyebrows.  However, she has done make-up for me when I was younger, and she used to try and get my hair to curl (it never did).  She also managed to get all my hair tangled up in a round brush…and then thought we would have to cut it all off to get it out. 
• She bought me fun alcoholic gifts when I was in college. 
• She’s a great beer-pong partner.
• She’s really smart and is good at math.  She ALSO knows that 13 x 13 = 13 squared = 169.
• She’s a really fun, caring person that I know will always be willing to help me if she can and she is just amazing

Both of my sisters are awesome and I’m very lucky to have them in my life.  I always hear all these stories about people that hate their siblings and I just can’t understand that.  I have two of the best sisters in the world and I consider them two of my best friends.  I can’t imagine what life would be like without them.
