Lisa,
I just started reading your blog. I alway knew you had talent but this blog is great. I was looking the black sheep post and had to laugh. I guess I am a hybrid. I get up early(5:00am) but go to bed late(midnight). I don’t want to live outside the county but love to travel. I am a pretty good Catholic, and prolife, and would adopt. Let’s not even talk about vehicles as mine is always dirty. My house will never be as clean as my mother’s and I love spicy food and of course anything with chocolate. The last time I stopped at your mom’s she had homemade chocolate chip cookies for my kids(something they only get at my house around Christmas) I’ve become more disciplined out of necessity, 2 kids, a husband, and a full time job. I am a Target junkie and I listen to everything from 92.3 to 107.7. I never did learn to shut up so here’s my mantra: The world’s a big place and my theory has always been that there’s room for everybody with a good heart. I don’t care what type of God you worship, or if you worship, or how you vote, or what you wear, as long as care about others and leave the world a better place than you found it,then you can never be a black sheep.

Lisa, while this post might identify your family, some things are different. As your soon to be sister-in-law, your brother lived this type of life before I came along. Since then I have totally changed his eating habits, in fact, the only thing healthy in our pantry are the orange Hi-C drink boxes I drink to give me Vitamin C. We get up early only because we both start work at either 7/7:30 and he has a 45 min. drive, otherwise we are in bed sleeping until the dog barks to go outside. As far as the traveling goes, I am working on it. Its a work in progress and plus we are a little short on the dough since we are planning a wedding, building a house, and I decided to go work on my Master’s, as soon as we play those intial bills, vacation here we come. In fact, we both need a vacation so far away from this place it crazy. And if you walked into our new place, I would first require you help me carry more boxes upstairs so that I can work on my tower of boxes to unpack, then you could see the piles of clothes that need to be washed, as well as, the dishes. So while some things may hold true, we are not the norm. But I will say that your brother’s faith is very important to him and it’s something I admire him for. See ya soon!
Your future sister-in-law

I am almost exactly like my dad, but the opposite of all my siblings. We all have fun together and I honestly think that is because of our differences.

I’m a rebel too right down to stupid things like letting my kids play outside barefoot. We got spanked if we did that as kids.

I think I just heard the whole county gasp. There will probably be a write up in the County Lines section.

You’re not alone! I often feel like the freak of my family when it comes to some things. My Dad is a staunch Catholic so I like to tease him about my belief in reincarnation. It’s funny to see him get all upset and flustered. LOL

As we’ve discussed before, I can completely identify with you on this one. And, aside from the one about the sweets in the home (I never keep anything that will make me gain more than a pound if I down all of it at once), the same could be said of my family and me.
