I miss my sister when...*

• it’s either of our birthdays (“cause I’m the birthday girl!”);
• I watch Say Yes to the Dress and want someone to agree with me that some woman should say no;
• I see a sign anywhere with the word “self” in it;
• Oliver does anything cute;
• I’m singing loudly in the car along with a song I don’t really know the words to;
• I listen to Bert and Ernie’s Singalong;
• I see bougainvillea (or think I do, since I still don’t know what it looks like);
• I’m having a good hair day;
• I want someone to go shopping with, or out to eat with, or to the movies with;
• Lucy does anything cute;
• I eat really good French toast or order hot chocolate when everyone else is getting coffee;
• I buy a gift that I want to give right away, even though the occasion is still weeks away;
• I buy oats;
• I watch Perfect Strangers or The Facts of Life (“I just love saying ‘Tootie.’”)
• My father does anything funny;
• I watch You’ve Got Mail, or watch on television any movie I have on DVD;
• I hear “Mele Kalikimaka" or almost any Christmas music, especially if it’s out of season;
• I’m having my picture taken and try and position my head so as to minimize the appearance of my “gobbler”;
• I see women’s gymnastics on television;
• I go to get the mail.

Only 3 ½ weeks until she visits!
