I got to talk to my sister, Courtney, today for a long, long time. Courney lived with me for 8-10months in San Diego before she moved to her fabulous life in LA. It was so much fun living with her and I miss her (and my other sister and brother) a lot. It is weird sometimes that the 4 of us are each in a different time zone...crazy, modern world.
Anyway, there were several times during our conversation that I started cracking up and just had to write down what she said. I never knew she was such a wise philosopher and a hilarious comedian. OK, maybe I knew she was a comedian (see some other blog where I mention the Mr. Peanut walk). So here are a few nuggets of wisdom from her to me:
"I'm your sister and I won't screw you over. And even if I did, you'd have to like me anyway."
"I'm having a quarter-life crisis and you're having a mid-life crisis". (Please note that I'm not quite 3 years older than this girl who will turn 27 in 2 days!)
"You don't want to be unhappy for the rest of your life because that would just suck."
"In this time of deep stress and despair, do what you need to. If everyone is focused on you, they won't be paying any attention to what I'm doing."
Ok, so I think these are funny. They were probably funnier in context, but they make me smile as I copy them off my little notepaper.
P.S. I looked back over the blogs and realized that the blog that references the Mr. Peanut walk did not tell the original Mr. Peanut walk story. The basic story was that sometime when I was still living in San Diego and Courtney was in LA, we went on a hike somewhere in the LA area and Courtney and I started walking like Mr. Peanut. Imagine leaning way back when you walk and taking big, exaggerated, strutting steps. We were cracking up during our Mr. Peanut hike and well afterwards for what felt like hours and hours.
