The fashionista's twin

Nothing exciting to report on the home front.  I braved the elements (elements being mass shoppers at mall) yesterday and got a battery for the guitar tuner.  Maybe I should call it the instrument tuner since I will be using it to tune my mandolin.  I also couldn't tell myself, "NO" when it came to this really cute coat that was on sale.  I'm addicted to coats.  I want them in every color to go with every outfit. But this coat was spectacular; kind of like a baby doll coat mixed with a pea coat with tulle on the bottom...AND in my favorite color (black)!  I can't seem to make myself wear bright colors.  It is not in my genetic make up.  My twin sister must have got all of the color genes.  I drift towards browns, tans, hunter green, navy, rust, cream, gray, burgundy, black...etc...  My sister can pull off the cute colors, yellow, kelly green, pink, red, purple, blah blah blah... We are identical, but she has the innate confidence and poise to pull vibrant colors off.  I like to blend into the surroundings.  (No camo though, can't pull that one off either.)  Kris is the fashionista and I am the fashionista's twin. 
Having a twin is the best thing in the world! (Mom probably didn't think so in the whole having us moment but still...) I have had a playmate and best friend every moment of my life.  Some kids say they were lonely as a child, I never was.  My twin and I could entertain ourselves no matter where we were or what we were doing.  Then we got a little sister and woohoo! That was fun! We dressed her up and did her hair and she hated us at the time.  She was our baby! Five year olds dig playin' house and we had a real life baby to play with!  How cool were we!?! Haha...Kels has been a blast!  Her coolness factor has steadily climbed and she has surpassed me.  I couldn't be more proud!  Anyway, growing up with buddies didn't prepare me for being alone.  Mom joked the other day with one of those sayings, "You came into this world alone...blah blah blah" well then she laughed and said,"well I guess you didn't..." I am still dealing with the fact that our lives are taking us in different directions and it IS normal not to see your sisters for weeks at a time.  Eh, oh well...moving on...

Last night I sat down, completely dedicated to making some presents, and about 10 minutes in, I feel odd.  So I decide to go lay down.  About 10 minutes after that I proceed to get sick.  Terrible! I turn into this completely different life form when I'm sick.  I call my mom asking what to do (mom = nurse), when I know that there is nothing to do, except prepare for the next round.   Blah, so an hour later, I peel myself off the floor and trudge to bed (packing trash can just in case).  I sleep remarkably well and wake up feeling okay.  I'm thinking it was the food I ate.  The restaurant shall remain nameless, but I will not visit them again, at least not for a while.

Tonight on the agenda, I will be going to support some local musicians. Country is their forte, and since said musicians asked opinions on song selections, mine had better be in the set list.  ;)

I also need to muster up the energy to do some cleaning.  The house is going into a downward spiral from my lack of dedication in cleaning it.  Alas, just got a phone call and the cleaning will have to wait.  Gran wants a perm in her hair and who am I to refuse my gran!?! (The cleaning wasn't that appealing anyway)

Happy Wednesday, Blogging Buddies!
