Day #12 and #13

It tells me I'm supposed to add my favorite quote or phrase- there are so many! Let's see if I can just share two:
1. I may be losing my grip on reality, but I'm still in control of my hair! - Amanda Price, Lost in Austen
2. God understands our prayers, even when we cannot find the words to say them. - some wood block at Hobby Lobby ;)

My next topic is to be about my siblings. I'm supposed to talk about them. I talk about them all the time! But maybe I'll give you an example of what nerds we are together and you'll understand. A week or so ago, it was bitter cold here. "Chicago cold" is what Meg called it. So I was holed up in my house for the evening and it was about 6 at night. I was eating my comfort dinner of cereal and toast and just settling in to watch Michael Pollan on Oprah when my phone rings. I answered "Hola!" (typical in my family, even though we aren't the slightest bit Hispanic or Latin.) It was Meg. "I'M JUST CALLING TO MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR TONTON ARE IN! YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT BACK BEFORE THE SHIELD IS DOWN! YOU'LL FREEZE OUT THERE!" To which I promptly choked on my toast from laughing so hard. One of the funniest phone calls ever! If you don't know what I'm referring to, then you'd never understand my siblings. After we quoted a few more lines and hung up, I called Emi to tell her. She giggled. I just told my dad and Herc last night.... more giggling and quoting. That pretty much sums up my siblings, right there.
