Family


My sister Teresa, she's funny. She is definitely HA HA funny and she is funny as in hmmmm, that's wierd. Okay, that picture that I took of myself on my laptop, she hates it. She wants me to take off all pictures that I take of myself on the computer, because it gives her the creeps. She said that I look strange just staring at the computer like that. Seriously.

That knitted babe that I made. Teresa HATES it. Not because of the craftsmanship mind you!! Oh no, it's because the doll gives her, you got it, the creeps. She has had issues with dolls since she was very young. She says that the dolls are "looking at her". I know, wierd. I have hidden dolls under clothes or blankets for her (we shared a room together growing up) so she wouldn't WAKE me in the middle of the night to tell me about the dolls looking at her. Yet, when she saw that the dolls were covered up, she would have a breakdown and tell me to uncover them so that they can breathe. I swear to God we came from the same family. I know, hard to believe.

She would leave a light on in our room and tell me to "look at her" while she falls asleep. WTF and you know what, I looked at her. It was easier that way.

The funny thing is that she is not wierd. Okay, she is my sister and I have lived with her neurosis for quite a long time, so yeah, I would think that it is normal.

The best part is that she is HILARIOUS. Hilarious, I tell ya! She makes me laugh for like nothing at all. She always makes me laugh so hard that I have to make her stop or I'll "pee my pants"!! Sometimes I just watch her interacting with other people and I can see the expression on her face and I can't stop laughing, because I know exactly what she is thinking.

I hope that you have someone in your life like my sister. I can always rent her out!! On her 40th birthday party we made her corsages with bows and candy and all. She loved it. She wore them and she put on a crown and when we sang happy birthday to her, she had to stand on a chair and dance. I think she's perfect.

So here's to Teresa and to anyone who has a "Teresa" in their life!

PS: In the picture she's the second on the left with my Mom to her right and my Mom's friends on the ends.

Until next time: Knit-Laugh-Enjoy!

I've got a whole fam damily like Teresa and wouldn't have it any other way. Funny story! Maybe you could help her over her phobia by having her take a computer pic with that knitted doll, together like pals. Love those Ninja mitts,I could probably use those at work or home. My hands are always like ice. Stay warm and have a wonderful day!
