There are so many things I want to tell you about.
But I can’t.
For many reasons, but mostly because there are too many wordsI can’t find the right wordsit’s not mine to sharedo you read all the things that are crossed outthere are kids starving in AfricaI could tell you but then I’d have to kill youthat’s what she saidCABS ARE HEREsharing is caringI might be really crazy, in fact I’m going to go to a mental ward now I don’t know.
So I’m going to make up a story instead.
All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
There once was a piece of bubble gum.
It was pretty pink and had just the right amount of goo on the inside.
To say it was perfect would be an understatement.
And then it got chewed up. And spit out. Onto the sidewalk.
And then someone stepped on it and it stuck to their shoe. They saw the gum (now full of dirt, gravel, hair, and the common cold) on their shoe and uttered a curse as they attempted to scrape it off on the cement step next to them.
And the bubble gum who had once been sweet and just the right amount of gooey wondered why the person had gotten so mad, they were the one who stepped on me…the gum said to itself.
As previously mentioned, I went to visit my sister last week. I didn’t write a long post about it, it was just the thing that happens when sisters who are best friends are together. For those of you who don’t have this in your own lives (sorry, we are not currently accepting applications for additional siblings) this is pretty much what it was…
I was given the amazing opportunity to go visit my sister Jessica in Newark, NJ. Since I haven’t seen her since last summer, I jumped at the chance, even though it was a short trip of 4 days. Here are the pictures that tell the story of my travel…
This is the view from my window on the plane before leaving MN.
Picture of the sunset above the clouds.
View from sister's apartment. She said it wasn't a very good one. I guess I impress easy.
This is the bakery that Cake Boss owns. I don't watch it, but again, easily impressed. The people on the right side are waiitng outside in line in the freezing weather for a cupcake, at least I'm not that bad. My sister was so embarrassed as I snapped this picture...I was one of THOSE people.
This is the knitting store my sister took me to. I fainted from happiness and then I spent all our retirement money. Sorry Josh.
One picture that doesn't do justice to my sister's classroom that is decked out from floor to ceiling to celebrate learning and exceptional work. It would be impossible to take a picture that expressed the amazing teacher my sister is and the incredible learning environment she created for her students.
This is the view from my window on the plane before leaving NJ. It was just as cold as MN.
I love this picture, it makes me think the clouds are edible (and taste like cotton candy). Also said "hey" to my grandpa.
I took pictures on the plane in hopes of giving Finn a small idea about what it is like to fly. He's very excited for his turn.
This was taken quickly as all electronic devices were supposed to be turned off. Obviously the person making that rule didn't have 3-year-old.
I love the shape the roads make.
Back in MN...pretty...you can't even tell it's freezing boogers cold.
We even make pollution look pretty. I was happy to be home.
I was happy to be back with my boys. Mostly I included this picture because I thought Sprite's Keeper (go read her blog now, so funny!!) would like to see the mess of our house. I should be so embarrassed. I clean once a year whether the house needs it or not!
There are some people in this world that make us better just by being in it, make us strive for better for ourselves and others. If we’re really blessed, we get to meet this person to soak in their wisdom. I am lucky beyond reason because this person is my sister.
My life continues to run me around in circles, but fear not because this makes me laugh, even when I just think about it I wish I could read it again because I swear it gets funnier!! Maybe someday in the next 10 years I can get back to writing and commenting…but not today (again).
