It's in the gene pool

                                                                           
Oh I like swimming, well not really. I like floating around on a floaty in the pool, and folks, where there's a pool, there's my sister. You see, my sister and I should have been twins. I actually believe it was in the plan for us to be born as twins but my sister is a planner and go getter and truthfully, she didn't want to wait. Yeah, she entered this world two years before our actual scheduled date. I know why she did this, she wanted everything to be perfect for my arrival, and it was. We were both born in Japan where our father was stationed and my big sister was there waiting for me, paving the road.

Everything about us is the same and if it's not, then we make up where the other falls short, thus causing us to be perfect companions. When it comes to food, our taste buds are identical. When it comes to adventure and travel we jell as if we are one. She's the mover and shaker, I'm more laid back. The parents have a hard time deciphering our voices, we sound that much alike.

She and I can spend hours talking on the phone. She's with me when I'm doing just about anything. I'll put the phone on speaker and talk away. Some of our best conversations are while I'm driving down the road.

One time I was driving to a girls night out dinner while talking with my sister, I believe our conversation started before I left the house.  Anyway, I was in the zone and we were deep in conversation. Then, out of the blue I remembered I needed to call someone after dinner and I started to panic because I thought I had left my phone at home.

I kept telling my sister how bummed I was because I needed to make that call. She was very sympathetic and asked me if I could borrow one of the girls phone once I got to the restaurant. We must have spent the last five minutes talking about how I could make my important call without my cell phone.

Then it finally dawned on me that the very phone I was missing was attached to my ear while I talked to my sister about not having my phone.  We both got a good laugh, and yes I am blonde but my sister is not. Which goes to show you that we are really twins at heart because had she waited for me, she would be sporting the same blonde hair.

Ok one more story. When my sister signed up for facebook she noticed how everyone was ending their comments with LOL. She thought it was odd but followed suit thinking it must be a facebook thing. Finally she asked me, no doubt during one of our long phone conversations, why everyone ends their comments with the Lots Of Love abbreviation LOL.

Imagine the LOL we got out of that!
