In celebration of a fabulous weekend, I felt it important to give you one more Top Ten list - and the very best one of them, I think. This one is a recap of the most memorable happenings this weekend.
10. The dreaded flat tire. Full bellies, full car, full trunk - hey! let's whip some shitties... and promptly get a flat tire. This one makes the list for the sheer inconvenience and randomness of it. And that we were in Big Lake and got it resolved with out too much hassle helps.
9. Shopping successes and folies. I was soooooo excited to go shopping. Monday was honestly the day that I anticipated for the most reasons. Time alone with you, new clothes, MAC make-up... Okay folly number 1. The FRIGGIN SNOW!!!! I mean WTF, 2 hours to get to the airport, really? Success 1. IKEA. I mean, when is Ikea not a success? But I think we all felt like we won in Ikea, even Stephen, which means I really won, because we WILL be back. Success 2. MAC Make-up, and bonus, I underspent and got everything I wanted! Folly 2. Don Pablos. Hi, welcome to Don Pablos, now please leave. Atleast the Ranch was good. :) Folly 3. Van Maur, what a let down - acrylic clothes that made me look like a stylish whale. Success 3. Express! At least we found a few good pieces!
8. Mega snow fallage. It wouldn't be Minnesota without it, and really, having as much as we did gave you a first hand look at what life here is like. The challenges of wet pantcuffs, icky roads leading to long commutes, but once you are safe and snuggly at home, a winter wonderland.
7. Watching you and Brett snowmobile. Watching you suit up, seeing the giddiness in your eyes, it was like watching a video of me the first time I suited up. Then watching you find your snowmobile groove and gain confidence, I felt like a proud twinkie!
6. The Saints Super Bowl win. Ok, so as far as Super Bowl parties go, it was neither rowdy nor raucous, but the comeback the Saints pulled off made this Super Bowl one of the best ever.
5. Winning $100 playing pull tabs. What's better than a night out at the bar? A FREE night out at the bar!!! We spent $80 but who cares! We came home with $20 extra in our pocket!
4. Playing Skipbo, drinking beers, and hanging out. Let's face it, life is about the little things and that first night was pure bliss. I had my twin, her boyfriend, and my husband and the whole weekend lay in front of us. Sigh.
Okay, so really the next two are equal in my mind, therefore we have no number 3 and two number 2s. First I gravitated towards the funny and then toward the sentimental, and I realized they both perfectly express why number 1 is number 1. You'll have to wait a few more seconds until you find that out.
2. Monday night, sitting in front of the fire. When is life really any better than when I have you all to myself and my husband is contently hanging out by himself? Monday night could only have been made better if it had not been your last night here and we could have stayed up way later. Truly, it was a moment of peace for me - when all my emotions quiet except for the happiness that gushes from every pore. I love going deep with you Katie, because we do it so fluidly and without restraint. Our depth can ebb and flow like the sea, one minute light and shallow and the next like a tidal wave. I feel safe when I am with you and I truly am me when I am around you.
2. As the Evening Turns - the Big Lake Soap Opera. Enough of the tear jerker stuff. Tootsie's was awesome. And you truly made it awesome-ER by catching the entire saga in pictures. Just so we always have it... Two chicks meet up at the bar, and oh my the second looks rough and a little wasted. The other is yound and attractive and the connection between them seems a little funny. The older blonde is obviously on the prowl, and to work up here sex appeal, she quickly downs a couple drinks. Ah, one man has caught her eye (and clearly, she must be drunk). Oh wait, and he must be also. The young girl looks on with passive concern. But the evening turns quickly at Tootsie and before anyone could have guessed it, our eye-crossed lovers are bumping and grinding - literally - against the bar. The lesbian bartenders step in. Only two chicks makeout against this bar. The blonde woman puts her tits away, at least until the bartenders walk away. Soon the drunken couple is back at it, and now the friend looks very concerned. Our lovers head for the dance floor and begin copulating vertically. Then it hits us, the older blonde and the younger brunette look remarkably similar... mother and daughter. And then the friend's concern suddenly makes sense. At this point the evening starts to get a little fuzzy for me, but I remember someone coping a feel on the daughter and her having a friend come stand with her. Then the lesbian looking fiance of the male lover shows up but is also hooking up with someone else. Damn, this shit is just wierd. Can you fill me in on the rest?
1. The very first moment I saw you, and every other moment I looked at you too. All of these moments, but especially my two Top 2, explain why this has to be the number 1 moment for me. I look forward to every moment I get to spend with you because something wonderful always ensues. Thank you for being the VERY best twin in the whole wide world. I love you soooooooo much!
