Tuesday's Tribute: Happy Birthday, Haboobs and Hotness


Join the Tuesday Tribute fun over at Angie's 7 Clown Circus!

My Tuesday Tribute is dedicated to my little sister who is...ahem...42 years old today! Yes, Oooo, I just plastered your old age all over my blog!

Happy Birthday, you old hag! Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!

We've been the best of friends since she was born....(well, I actually kinda' thought she was gross, but she grew on me when I figured out I could mind control her....)



She's always there for me rain or shine....


She always makes goofy faces and poses in every family photo...that still hasn't changed...it's even been genetically passed down to her son....I would love to post one or a dozen, but she has threatened to kill me...Since she used to pin me to the ground and spit on me, just use your imagination here to visualize goofy photos of her...please....for my safety....I've been spit free for several years now and would like to remain that way....

She used to beat the crap out of me, but I still love her even if she did play with the freaky Sunshine Family of hippies....and Snuffleupagus.....and even if I wanted to steal her Bionic Woman Doll...(and I got even when she lipped off to me while I was driving at age 16....she wouldn't shut up so I busted her in the lip....then I ran like hell to hide when we got home! lol!)


She's exceptionally creative....she designed her own wedding dress! She's a talented artist as well!




She always laughs at my stories and is the only person on the planet that understands how hilarious it is to me to hear the word "haboob".....(here's a photo of a haboob (pron. "ha-boob") hitting Phoenix a few years ago....Yes, I have been in a haboob....it's a huge wall of sand traveling very fast...think Scorpion King...)


She hates the words "breath" and "moles"....yeah, Oooo, I thought you'd like that...consider it a special birthday gift....Here....enjoy.....


She's a fabulous Aunt and the best sister in the Universe! We miss you, Aunt Oooo and wish we could celebrate your happy day with you!!!!! Tell Dad to make sure he screws up your red cake as a special treat from me.....

xoxo
Your Smarter, More Fabulous Older Sister...

p.s. the hotness in the title refers to the flames ignited by the huge number of candles on the old hag's cake...I can feel them all the way from NY to AZ!

Haboob always makes me laugh! If several sand storms come your way does that mean you are being attacked by haboobies?

Happy Birthday to your sister!

Written as only a sister could do. Remember what the kids say, "It takes one to know one!". LOL You two must really be a pair, but doesn't it tick you off that she will always be younger than you??!! I'm the older sister and DARN!, that's the way it will remain. Regardless of how much of a hard time I give her she can always get me by reminding me I'm the oldest!...Happy Birthday to your Sister!!

I signed on as Follower, so I'll be back!

Haboob? Snort.

I had the Sunshine Family. My sister had the Happy Family. The Sunshine Family's best friends of color. We even had their hippy dippy camper trucks. :o)

Happy birthday to the old hag! Cackle.

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
