As I was reading Court's post & adding a comment to it, I made a reference, as I do often to you gals to "sister" (ie. keep on posting sister.....I hear you loud & clear sister, etc, etc.) Well, as I started thinking about Sisterhood, I recalled a time many years ago when Court & I were living together on Draper Ave. that we had a "sister fund". For some reason, whenever we went places, people always asked us if we were sisters. Not that we could see any resemblance, but we figured our sweet personalities and energy perhaps led others to believe we were sisters. So we would put $1 in a jar & then when it added up we cashed in on it & enjoyed being "sisters" (not that I recall exactly how the money was spent but I am guessing dinner, a spa day or something fun like that-is it bad that I forget that part?). At any rate, the point I am trying to make is that growing up I always wished I had a sister. I loved my brothers of course (and still do) but I always wondered what it would be like to have the bond that sisters share. My 2 cousins who also had no sisters became like sisters to me as I was growing up & still are to this day. But I must add that Court, Liz & Shelby-you have shown that we can have this "sisterhood" bond without the genetics to back us. It also occurred to me that Court is the only one of us that acutally has sisters-interesting that it never occurred to me before. So, in a nutshell-Long Live the Sisterhood. Glad you gals are in my life.
PS. The move went well but I am antsy now & am really wanting everything to be done now! I must be patient I know. I have big plans for the weekend-painting painting painting so I can get those new hardwood floors ASAP. Yeeha. Perhaps I should post some picts of the new place-if only I can locate my camera.....

Miss,
So glad that the move went well - been thinking about you a lot! I've held off on calling since I know you're super busy! Oh, and thanks for your comment and reinforcement about taking the big plunge into the world of blogging. Ooops...forgot about the rules! I have Liz to blame for that. Just kidding. But we better get them in stone or I'm liable to break another one. :)
Love that I'm part of The Sisterhood...your friendships mean the world to me :)
Adding onto what Liz said...
Miss, you are right! You absolutely can have that sisterly bond without the genetic makeup.
I miss those days of the sister fund. Remember, we used to put $2 in when people thought we were TWINS? What fun memories!
Court
I totally forgot about the twins part of the sister fund-how funny was that? Speaking of funny....remember when you "demonstrated" your self defense to that guy out in front of Plum Crazy in PB? For those of you that have never heard that one-ask Court to share. She literally took this guy straight down to the sidewalk because he challenged her. I never laughed so hard in my life- (not to mention I got stuck talking to "Lee", the cute boy's friend (who was not so cute) while Court was doing her thing.
I simply wouldn't have survived the last year+ without you all. I really think of all the women in my life as family now. Thanks.
Shelby,
What the heck are you doing up at 3:39AM? Go to sleep and dream of your Sisters!
