Hijacked. The time has come to repay a certain someone for a certain "favor" she paid me a little while back....

This is Becky - the big sister (older, wiser) of your friend Katie. This is my stolen opportunity for me to tell you so many of the wonderful things that I am lucky enough to know about her. For example:

Did you know that there is actual video footage of Katie urinating on our family's back patio?

Katie and a team of friends once performed choreographed dances to christian R&B songs (oxymoron) - on stage.

Katie was a member of her high school swimteam.

Did you know that Katie frequently calls her big sister from remote locations asking the question, "Are you near a computer?" - using me as her own personal Onstar system?

Katie had a very nasty habit of tattling on her older siblings when we were younger. Most of my punishments came about as a result of her being an undercover operative for our parents.


However, rather than ratting Katie out on the most embarassing moments and details (I've held the best ones back), I'll take this opportunity to tell you what a cool person Katie is. Of course, you should already know this, being that you're fammiliar enough with her to be reading her blog. But, just in case, let me just reiterate...

I am often in awe of my little sister. She's incredibly brave - moving across the country to take a new job, find a new place to live, and meet an entirely new group of friends and acquaintances. She's a people magnet - people who take the time to get to know her really like her. (Some days I'm a little mystified by that...) She's got an outstanding sense of humor, a glowing personality, and stunning good looks (I got robbed). She's not much of a housekeeper, but then neither am I. She cooks better than I do, and she puts up with a lot of crap from my brother and me, so she's obviously got some level of patience and understanding. There's nothing more fun than razzing my sister, and she's a willing participant. Most of the time.

I've had a great time hanging out with Katie these last few days, and this time has made it very clear in my mind that I'm ready for her to come home. So, those of you who are included in her new group of SOCAL friends...don't get too attached, because I want her back.
