emtnester: Happy 50th Birthday to the Best Sister in the World

My sister's birthday is today and here I sit thousands of miles away wishing her Happy Birthday in the form of a blog post. Life is funny that way. Mind you, I am not complaining as we have figured out how to be together a lot more, selling clothing from the Worth Collection. Still, I miss seeing her adorable smile and the way she crinkles up her nose when she disapproves of something. I make her do this hysterical expression just for the fun of it; I say, "hey June, should we cook Brussels sprouts tonight?", and her face goes into contortions.....

Of course, she always has the last laugh as she will always be younger than me. She's a lot of things better than me: she's nicer than me, she's thinner than me, she drives a boat better than me, she's more organized than me.....the list goes on and on. But we mesh perfectly together, the yin and yang of perfect sisterhood!

And we balance each other out well. We listen and learn from each other. I think our marriages are stronger because we can call each other up, bitch and moan for hours over the phone until we are sick of the topic. This saves our perspective husbands from going through this process and makes for a more pleasant life.

We will be celebrating her birthday later this summer when we vacation together and that will be very fun. My family has something really fun planned but I cannot share it with you as she might read this post...................I'll be sure to take pictures...............

I cannot imagine life without my wonderful sister. It would be dreary and boring. She brings joy to my life everyday. So, I hope she has a delightful day....this 50th Birthday of hers. I hope she can relax and do something wonderful for her as most of her waking moments are usually spent doing for others.

(The next glass of wine is on me!) CHEERS!
