It's all even......

So, as I was making French Toast this morning, I noticed something very odd when I got the eggs out of the fridge. It was this picture:


What is so odd? Well, first of all, I did not do this. No, my daughter, Krista did it. What's the big deal you ask? Well, it's not that big of a deal, but it made me smile. See, one day a few years ago one of my sisters was visiting. (Identity to be revealed later). Anyway, she was making something and she got the eggs out. I noticed that as she was done with them, she sort of rearranged them in the carton. She likes things even. Hence, the look in the picture. I immediately felt the need to make fun of her.

"Why did you do that????"
"Do what?"
"That thing you just did with the eggs. Making them all...all.."
"Even??"
"What's up with that?"
"Well, one time when I put eggs away they were all at the end and the carton and it was out of wack and I dropped them. So, this way the weight is evenly distributed throughout the carton."

I say, "Plus, it just looks more even and organized this way, doesn't it?" She sort of admitted it looked prettier.

SO, that gets me back to Krista...well, I had told Krista about currently un-named-Aunt telling me about how she arranges all of the eggs in the carton. Guess what, ever since then....this is about what the eggs look like. So, thank you, organized and big OCD older- sister for passing that little oddity right there to my daughter, the next generation.

So, have you guess which sister it is now? Well, I will give you another hint. This sister also does this:

What?? You don't notice the

Alphabetized

Spices.

You don't do this? Well according to my sister, all the cool kids are doing it!! So guess what....I do it too now. Oh wait, no, she did it to my spices when I wasn't looking and so now I feel the obligation to keep them alphabetized so I don't disappoint her. She may just show up at my house and check. She does things like that.

Well, as long as I am pointing out some of the "odd" things this sister does, I thought I might as well point out another thing she does.


Ssshhh...she counts the lines on the road. But then so do I. She likes it when things are EVEN. You may think I'm making fun of her, but I"m not. It's a loving make fun of. Face it, with the Cox girls, you are never safe.

So, here's your clue, people. What child in the birth order likes everything EVEN?? If you still don't have it by now, here is your final clue.....she buys furniture and dogs from the side of the road. Oh, and she also runs to the bathroom after dinner on Sunday, with a sick stomach AND the Sunday paper...you know, when people are doing the dishes.


Okay, now that that's over, on to my next subject. I love it when my family members show me about things that are going on in their lives. I love the everyday of things. I try to get sister #1 to blog but her response is, "I don't have anything to tell...I'm boring". My definition of boring?? No one is in the hospital or using their one phone call to get ahold of you. Wow, that was a ramble.....anyway....

So, I wanted to show you the cute Valentines door hanging I made. And holy smokes, I had NO pattern for this people. I thought of it all by myself. I'm so proud! Isn't it cute?? You don't think so...it's okay...lie.



As a final note, you all know how much I love scrapbooking and family history. But most of all, I LOVE the story. I love history in general. Historical fiction, big fat history books, old journals, etc. Guess what, there is a story in all of us. So, get ready for my challenge coming up soon. Here's a sneak peek of my topic:


Until next time....
