My sister-in-law is in town, or my sister-not-law as Aaron and I have yet to
wed, more on that later. I always wanted a sister, except when friends have
tried to borrow clothes, then I've been really happy that I don't have sisters
and that none of my brothers are cross dressers. Get your own clothes. These are
mine and I don't want someone thinking you had taste good enough to buy
something that is actually mine. I know, I'm horrible at sharing and I'm 33 so
that probably won't change.
At any rate, when it comes to
sister-not-laws, I hit the goldmine. This is shocking for two reasons: 1. I
have been a heinous capital B capital I capital TCH to many of my brother's
girlfriends. I thought for sure I had some bad karma coming my way, and 2. As
much as I love women and support women and want us all to be happy and do well
and stick together and take over the world, I have not had the best nor easiest
experience with women as a whole. I can count on one hand the women I trust
completely. We women folk are hard on each other and by far my most
painful heartaches have come from a girlfriend's betrayal. We cut the deepest.
So, imagine my surprise when I met his sisters, who by the way, make me feel
comfortable just by walking in the room as they, like me, are 6 foot and blond
(this is apparently not rare in the Midwest). They're beautiful, smart, terribly
witty, and they roam this planet with an unwavering moral compass that is
woefully askew in so many of the women I have met in my life. Like I said,
goldmine. This week I am getting drunk on sisterly love.
