Bonus Random Fact

****UPDATED 01/29/09****

The Princess is improving.

For all Chef Ramsay's Fans a new season of HELL'S KITCHEN is on tonight on Fox. My sister has no aspirations to cook but loves watching all his shows.



You know me as "A"

The Princess is bed ridden with a bad case of the flu. How did this come about? Simple, from failing to listen to me: her older and wiser sibling.

The weekend was one of our coldest. It was in the -30's C. People were cautioned to stay indoors and to only go out if it was crucial. Saturday morning the Princess was sneezing and her eyes were watery. I said to her, "stay home today." The princess said, "No. I have a party to attend tonight."

She spent 25 days partying in Mexico. Was that not enough? Apparently not so.

"You’re sick," I said.

After sneezing three times the Princess replied, "I know my body. If I was sick don't you think I would be the first person to know?"

Answer: Once again apparently not.

Her fever spiked quite high late this afternoon but she is going to be alright. I warned her over a hundred times not to go out on Saturday. She did not listen which brings me to a bonus random fact about her:

She never, never listens to me....or anyone.

I mentioned she is stubborn; trust me it is well worth repeating. When she was a child trying to reason with her was challenging and arduous. She would cross her pudgy arms and shake her head no. Not much has changed although she is no longer pudgy looking.

I know you are use to seeing recent pictures of my sister {BTW she's pretty cute in her photos isn't she?} Below is one of my favorite pictures of her. My sister was two years old. We all were spending the day at the beach. I took her into the water. She was splashing and having fun until I convinced her the shark monster was coming to get her. In the picture she is running and crying straight into our mother’s arms who took this shot before scooping her up while I was holding her still for the camera.


Not shown in the picture, Valentina. She was close by wreaking havoc.

"She never listens to anyone"....I sort of got that drift after reading her first blog over a year ago.

Mrs. Realife said...

LOL!! I love that story! A, you are a good sister :) Has she ever mentioned a blogger who thinks she may be your twin? Yeah... that's me -- I mean seriously, I would have used the word "cute" to describe her recent pics, too...

CP! GET BETTER!

A, it seems as if the Princess is having a slight wardrobe function.

In the end, that's what we men find so beguiling- women who wont listen to anyone.

How many years separate you and the Princess, A? Is she doing any better?

A-- Can you post the remaining random facts? Tell her to get well soon!

She is the baby in the family, we will leave it just at that. The Princess is recovering slowly and is improving.

Two questions A--

The Princess had the chicken pox in the spring. Why was she not vaccinated? I am not familiar with the school regulations (since you are a teacher cannot a child be sent home and not allowed to return until they are) Here in the good ole USA they will not permit a child to school unless they have had their shots.

What is your favorite recent picture of her?

She was home schooled.

Many parents choose not to immunize their child for appropriate medical reasons; religious and reasons of conscience. For these reasons our legislation cannot make vaccination compulsory.

That's a hard one. So many to choose.
