Babycarrot sister and I are heading slightly South tomorrow morning, to peruse all that is (good and green and granola and) Portland, before lacing our respective running shoes for Race for the Cure on Sunday.
This is my fourth trip to Portland in five months, and I’m insanely excited to show my sister around the town, [...]

A few days ago I stopped by The ‘Bucks, to see baby carrot sister, and to order something cold and blended. She took a break, and we took a jaunt on over to Le Union of Le Credit, so she could deposit her most recent paycheck. Since I was there for morale support, myself not [...]

My baby carrot sister accompanied me to a 6th grade girls fast pitch softball game yesterday evening. We were there to watch Kellsy and Whitney, two of the girls I counseled last week at camp, who play for a team called Crash. More specifically we were there to watch Crash beat a team called The [...]

I love her so much that when she calls me this afternoon during the most restful sleep I’ve been able to procure for days (despite all attempts to sufficiently plum tucker myself out and go to bed so early), and wakes me up (and simultaneously reminds my head that Hey!

Today my sister and her Young Life team are organizing and manning their first annual yard sale.
My mom at one point being quite the avid partisan of The Yard Sale, I have been to my fair share of the grass laden consumer events. When I was younger, I remember being completely enamored with the subtle [...]

On Mondays and Wednesdays my sister and I get to spend some quality time together as we wait for our respective next classes to commence. Today is not Monday, but it is, if you noticed, Wednesday. Thus, being released from my previous class a bit earlier than she, I found myself waiting for my baby [...]

I’m loving how I can, on day five of the quarter, already tell that this quarter is going to be superb, simply due to the fact that I have the opportunity to sit with my babycarrot sister for an hour daily, while we are both resting in between our clumps of classes, and peering at [...]

Making me feel better:
You telling me that you’ve been wearing the same shirt I bought you for Christmas since the day I last saw you until today, and thus, a total of eight days now, not because you are poor or have no other clothes to wear, but just because you like the shirt that [...]

My little sister, Theresa, although fiesty and not lacking a healthy element of spunk, is quite small for her age. Ok, so in all actuality she is just small in general, she being twenty years old, and most likely done in the growth department. Throughout the week she works consistently and closely with junior highers [...]
