I'm So Great They Made 2 of Me!

Got Twins?

So I was going to post first thing this morning because I know my sister, the queen of posting on her blog more regularly than anyone, would once again try and steal the show....
you know what? That is my birthday present to you! I am giving you the joy of being better than me, but just this once...j/k...kind of ;)

But really now, you get the top-dog on this one. There is no way I have the skills to put every song on my playlist to a happy birthday song..oh, wait... I don't even have a playlist. To change my background to happy birthday, To add several pictures of the 2 of us, (do you have any ones where I look decent?), and especially remember all those cool things... I hate my lack of memory.

So instead of working against you.. I figured I would join you, after I clear up the fact that you pushed me out of the womb, it wasn't I who pushed my way out... after all you hogged it the entire 9 months, what was stopping you from enjoying the leg room after I was out of there? LOL.

We stole the show a lot. Here are a few of my favorite memories:

*We would mix our funny socks up and you would wear one of mine and I yours so they looked even funnier.

*We walked down the hall in Jr High School wearing dads pants, one body in each pant leg, people looked at us like we were nuts, but we had a blast.

*When you tried to chop your thumb off in shop class, I was in Science and my thumb was killing me and I didn't know why until later when I discovered what happened to you.

*We were called the 'dude twins' because we have a slightly deeper toned voice.

*We would jump across beds to the other, jumping back and forth sometimes throwing our pillows at each other, and once exhausted we would stay up late in bed talking to each other... Sometimes we would hear dads deep voice say "go to sleep".

And since you were so gracious on sharing my wonderful moments I thought I would add to those as well:

*When we would fight as we got older, I would hit you and then run with you running after me to hit me back and then turn and run like lightening until I caught up to you to pull your hair... this would go for only a few minutes and shortly we would be back in the same room and fine around each other.

*We typically dated the best friend of each others boyfriends (well usually me after you..so I guess a thank you for the boyfriend)

*We used to play with matchbox cars too (I'm not too proud to admit that)

But the best thing about my sister and being a twin is:

*You always have a friend the first day of school.

*There is always someone who understands me, even when we are a gazillion miles apart

*We compliment each other in every way

*We have the awesome automatic bragging rights of having a twin sister, and a bond that no one would understand unless they themselves are a twin.

My sister is humble, sweet, spiritual, awesome at spontaneous humor, knows how to get a good buy, creative, and a darn good writer.

Happy Birthday!
I love you and think you are the best! I hope your day was great today and know that I am thinking about you and miss you!

here's the secret: While I am a little Obsessed with Blogging, I am not sure I deserve the title of queen. However if this is meant as a compliment. I accept.:)
But what I really wanted to say was that I wanted to make it special and memorable. I was not trying to beat you or try to steal the show but because I do post so much, I needed it to stick out.

I actually wrote the post a week ago and then spent the weekend putting 15 different Birthday Songs together and looking through tons of backgrounds to find the right one. I sorted through many spider covered boxes in the basement to get just the right pictures (decent wasn't what I was looking for)
The funny part is that I knew you would finish this for me. I am so glad you did. I could not have done this without your genius writing skills or quick wit sarcasm.

You complete me...

Sappy I know - but seriously you are the best compliment to me, we are like mustard and ketchup, peanut butter and Jelly, wan tans and fried rice, chocolate and calories..

Gazillion miles or not - there is no dispute I have the best twin out of all the other twins. (big plus that you even look like me, sorta)
