Du Bist Eine Lame Ente



Which translates loosely from German as "My sister is my best friend ever."

She's in town, very briefly, for a writer's retreat and I have enjoyed every minute of the very frenetic visit while she has gotten prepped for her retreat. I got to see her for 3 hours while she and I went grocery shopping for the food for her retreat, we played Rock Band for an hour, went to bed, got up in the morning and made 3 failed chocolate cakes, a strawberry trifle, and a huge pot of Cranberry Beef beef. Then we drove to SLC while she had lunch with a friend, which I crashed, and dropped of some videos project for her husband. Then she left for her retreat. I get to pick her up in SLC tonight at some unGodly hour, bring her to my house to sleep, and then get up at 5:30am to drive her to the airport tomorrow. It sucks. Raise your hand if you think she should move back to Utah...

I vote she moves back to Utah.

I'd love it if my family would live close by to each other too.

Pretty sisters! That is a bummer that she can't stay for longer (like forever!)

Ever thought about Texas, I am sure Jennie would find you a sweet place to live just minutes from her ;) I miss living close to my family too. At least you had a few good hours with her.

I'm lucky that I get to live with my sister and that we get along better than polygamist wives.
