MissChris: You don't have to study what you know is wrong to defend yourself against it. Stick with what you know is right. You don't see Coca-Cola putting out ads that inform people that Wal-Mart's "Great Value" brand of soda is a cheap knock-off... they just advertise their own (frankly superior) product. Stick with what works. It's always the best defense against what doesn't work. ;)

I will never understand why you girls wear those things. The silliest thing we guys have to put up with is a tie, and that only provides a decent handle for a choke-hold. Heels make it dangerous to walk and they deform the feet.

Yow! Hate when that happens. I used to do stuff like that to myself in highschool. I'd wear these nonsensical shoes to walk to and from and around all day...stupid. But...cute shoes...sometimes that makes up for the blisters. Well, not NOW, for me...now, I just wear flip flops all the time. Or boots. And fuzzy socks (not with the flip flops...).

ANYWAY...you have my sympathy.
 
So...I made the pancakes I was talking about earlier.

They actually didn't end up being a disaster! They were pretty good. I definitely had to add sugar (I added around a tablespoon. Probably should have done honey). I also added cinnamon and some mini chocolate chips. The texture was nice, it tasted like an actual pancake overall. Except they don't give you that after-feeling of bloatedness and the carb crash. That bit of protein just really helps. It's also really satisfying, and you don't need a whole lot of syrup.
 
Just saw a picture of a pair of 8' heels. Why would women wear one of them? Don't they know that it would wreck their feet and hips?
 
This morning was the best.....sadie baby and I are spending the day together....with everyone
at work and school.....it looks like rain...so we lost out on going to the beach........
but that didnt stop us....lets just say I lost in the water fight for the hose........
Sadie runs fast and when she puts that baby finger in the hose she realized it goes
further and she hits the target better...so now im soaked shes soaked.......and im laughing so
hard.....she is something.....I dont think Im ready for her to turn two.....I will have to go back
to school just to keep up with her........thats my baby.....
 
So...there's something that's been on my mind. Some of you guys know I have another sister. I'm the baby of my family. My older sister, not the engaged one, decided to become a youth leader at the youth group that I do praise and worship at. I really don't know how I feel about it, because the youth group was MY thing. It just seems to always happen. I find something or someplace and one of my sisters decide, "Hey, I want to do that, too!" And it's just...I don't know. Sometimes you need those few hours around people besides your family. Sometimes you want to be unique in something that you do. And it just seems like I can never truly find it. Maybe that's another reason why I should go to Minnesota...so I can figure things out while getting my degree. I love my family, I do. But I just really need that separation. That thing that makes me different from my sisters. I'm always getting how alike we act, how we all look alike, sound alike...how we all do this and all can do that. It's not, "Well, I do this, but she does that, and she does something else. Nothing we do is so-called better than or superior to the other. It's simply what makes us unique."

I dunno. Does it sound selfish? The youth group is in need of youth leaders...I was just hoping that I could just keep it a me-thing. When my oldest sister quit, I kind of felt relieved because it was, "Now it's something I just do, and I love it most of the time."
 
Evie-

It's not selfish at all to want something different/separate from your family. It's part of growing up, that feeling like you want to set out on your own and have something that's just yours, something you don't have to share with your siblings.

I've got a handful of sisters myself, and though we didn't all grow up together, there's still always been some of that irritation at being constantly compared to or having to share things with one or the other of them.

So no, you shouldn't feel bad or selfish for wanting something to do that they aren't part of. You're right, everyone needs a getaway, yes, even from family members we love. It helps keep the peace.
 
Just got back from power yoga class.
Managed to jump from the Bakasana (Crow Pose)
into the Uttihita Chaturanga Dandasana (High Plank Pose).
I feel proud! :)
