Couldn't do it

Honestly could not do it.  There is nothing that turns on the depression like the idea of going back to school.  Learn a new job not a big deal.  Hands on training I love it.  But homework yuck.  Class yucky...you get the idea.  You always were better at going to school than me.  Also people usually use nicknames so that when other's read the blog they aren't divulging too much personal information.  You really need to watch more of the Disney channel so you can catch Phinus and Ferb talking of internet saftey information!

Homework sucks!

Mac and Cheese

I can't believe it has finally been started!  "Come talk to me I'm pooping!"  I realize that it is not what we had talked about at first but, this is awesome.  I, the younger one, but not shorter, am not as up on the technology as my sister and this is my first ever blog posting.  How exciting!!
 So where to start . . . .
First, my sister never explained where the title came from.  When we were growing up, we had some of the best talks while one of us was going to the bathroom.  I know, it is kind of disgusting, but if you consider that where we grew up it is no surprise.  My sister and I grew up on an island with no place for a septic tank, therefore we had outhouses and very few were 1 holers.  They were always 2 or even 4 holers.  So instead of waiting outside for the other person to finish, you would just go at the same time . . . again, it sounds gross, but when you gotta go you gotta go, so why not go together.  Your family anyways, right?  
So anywho, that is where the name came from.  

Now, as far as my current living/working status.  I live in Duluth with my boyfriend in a nice little old house (and not the "cool" old, but the outright "falling apart" old).  I have two dogs, mastiffs (one of my sisters ponies is smaller than my dogs) , and a Grumman in the front yard.  I work in the hotel industry.  I am the last child out of 5 that is not married or with kids, not bitter :)  (but I dote on my nephew like no other).   

I am at home cooking my famous Kraft Mac and Cheese and getting ready to start my homework.  I am taking an extra curricular seminar for work and for the first time in 6 years I have homework.  Not the easiest habit to get back into, but at least it's interesting.
(I hate to brag, but I make a pretty mean Mac and Cheese)


I could sit here and write for an hour or two, but . . .like I said, I got me some homework. 

The First

Since I am the oldest and I always wanted to publish a book called Come Talk To Me I'm Pooping, I will be making the first entry to the blog.  My hope is that this will be a conversation between my younger sister and myself.  We are leading fairly different lives as many sister's do.  You travel different paths to get through and end up seeing different sites on the way.  We don't always understand why the other one would want to travel on that trail but what can you do other than love them and hope they have a good trip.  Also I wanted a place where I could just through out thoughts that I have.  My sister is hilarious and I am hoping that she will through in her random thoughts as well. 

So to give you an idea of where I am on the trip.  I am in my mid thirties, just married to the father of my 4 year old boy, I have a 10 year old step daughter and and 24 year old step son.  We live in the country and have a couple of horses, a pony, and a dog.  I like to think I am a gardener and my husband is more and more wanting to embrace his inner farmer.  Like really couldn't be better at the moment.  Other than the stress of the economy.  Lettuce is twice what is was a year ago.  When I saw that it is a not wonder people are having a hard time making it these days.
