Here are a few random things about my sister she forgot to mention:
1. She hates thong underwear but every once in a while will buy it and then declare again how she hates it.
2. She had an imaginary friend named "Sandra" (pronounced "Sondraw") whom she blamed for every thing she did wrong.
3. Sondraw had a very weird, high pitched voice that made our parents laugh. I was jealous that I hadn't thought of creating a funny friend to pin the blame on when I got caught. She was a lot smarter than me which brings us to....
4. She has a genius IQ. No kidding. I have to tell you because she never will.
5. She has gorgeous hair. Always has. Probably always will.
6. She is game for anything.

10. Her lemon squares are to-die -for.
11. ditto her chocolate chip cookies.
12. She's a pool shark and will wipe up the floor with you if given a chance.
13. Speaking of pools, she can spend hours in one without ever getting her hair wet. It's a gift.
14. She loves french country interiors.
15. She forced me to make her living room curtains and I never complained.
16. She looks beautiful in any shade of blue.
17. Her car in college was called "The Pumpkin".

19. She tried to teach me how to knit but gave up when I didn't want to make a laundry bag,oops, I mean stocking.
20. She is kind, loyal and an incredible sister/mother/wife and the best thing my parents ever brought home.
