Hello.

I make no secrets that I am a shameless copy cat to that of a higher power. See: http://barefootconservative.blogspot.com/. It's only fitting that I copy the conservative. We've played this cat and mouse games for years. I turned her onto penguin pajamas with little feetsies so we don't slip, and she taught me how to stain my teeth green and get her mom's eyes to bulge out of her head. It was just meant to be. Besides teaching each other things, we share some valuable similarities that bond us for life. Here are some examples:

1. We like to be barefoot (ok, if you haven't picked up on that one, close my blog, don't waste my time.)
2. We can proudly trip over any flat surface.
3. We think you are all idiots.
4. We can laugh at ourselves.
5. However, we laugh at you more.


That being said, don't judge us. We are the 2 sweetest, nicest girls you know, and if you try to tell me you don't qualify in that list of 5 things, you are all a bunch of liars because we are all human.

So while all my blogs won't consist of explaining why she and I are the best, and the best of friends, I do feel it is an appropriate time to share a story or two from our past. How to pick from so many?

Back when we weren't as wise as we are now, we lived on the same block in the same town. (oh those were the days) and she feared someone was coming into their backyard at night. So we decided to set up markers. We ran fishing line around the perimeter, to see if it would break in the night. Well, we were on the side of the house attaching the line.... and happened to be under the bathroom window which was open. We heard the bathroom door close. We froze. I looked at her, she looked at me... a smile already curling on our lips. You see, we were trapped. I can't remember what was there, but had we moved, we would have been made, and undoubtedly tortured by her brother who was most likely the culprit in the bathroom. So we hugged the wall, and sure enough, her family member began their duties, and in that moment where you have to shut up, we could just not contain ourselves and we laughed so hard I was sure I peed a little.

My next story proves a point that no one is safe around us, including.. well, us. Our family had moved a few miles away at this point and I invited my dear friend over for a movie. Now, my bubble friend in her very safe bubble world had pretty much only seen G rated movies at this point. Scream had just come out on video and was THE movie at this time. So, I peer pressured her into watching it with me and my sister (also a known trouble maker.) Gina hid behind a pillow, we screamed when the mask popped out, it was all great fun. Well, my evil sister had called her evil brother to let her know what we watched, and her parents were not to know. Well, since her family is ginormous, it only fit that they have this huge van. So alas, Mother Conservative pulled up in the 15 seater... my dear friend scowled as she passed me, unhappy to be so scared out of her wits. The next part that happened... I SO WISH I witnessed it first hand, but unfortunately, heard about it in the after math. She sat in the first bench in the back, undoubtedly lying about what we watched, completely unaware that the said evil brother was hidden under the seats (I'm telling you.. HUGE van) and just at the right moment of silence he grabbed her ankles and she screamed bloody murder. Oh man just picturing her face I'm sitting here chuckling to myself. There will be more stories of her evil brother, and our evil tendencies.

These poor innocent girls never had a chance.
