a good thing.

me + my sis circa 2002


my sister lives 300 miles away.

which neither of us like one bit.

she and her darling boys are here this week enjoying the sunshine and some quality "cousin-time."

i don't know who's having more fun...us or the kids.

we've always said we wished we lived closer.

however, we've come to realize that living next door to each other could be problematic.

problematic indeed.

my online shopping problem would grow into something that would require an intervention.

a 50 lb weight gain would be inevitable as neither of us posses one shred of self-discipline.

ice-cold caffeinated beverage consumption would increase drastically.

crumb donuts would work their way back into my diet somehow.

our children would go unsupervised for lengthy periods of time.

instyle and real simple magazines would be read in great detail.

time spent playing at the park would increase significantly.

the gym membership would go completely unused.

all 500 dvr'd episodes of oprah would be watched.

housework would fall to the bottom of the list.

basically, nothing would get done.

we'd be fat, broke and lazy.

but we would be so darn happy.
