Another TRIBUTE

But this one is a happy one!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST GIRLFRIEND LESA!!!!

OK, I started this playlist earlier this month. I could add to it FOREVER because we have been through so much together, it is our anthem together. I know there are obvious ones I have missed. These songs all speak for themselves, really. But I am going to highlight a couple of memories I have of them anyway.

BUT first, before I do that, I want everyone to know how much I adore my sister. IT hasn't always been so, but now I know our relationship is for a reason. You see, back in the day, we NEVER got along. Or atleast not for very long, maybe an hour or two. We fought over everything. I wont go into the embarrassing details of how picky she was about EVERYTHING, since it is her birthday - i shall hold my tongue. Anywhoo. So now I have a Lesa and a Michelle in my own house. I am much better equipped with the patience to deal with my own two meat heads, since I grew up in a similar situation as they are. So I thank her for all she taught me on how to deal with picky girly girls. :)

So, here are my memories to share with her.
#1 - awwwwe peaches! yes, attack of the killer bimbos is still fresh on my mind!

#2- Jake Ryan. need I say more? no.

#3- 'My addinoids' - again, no further explanation is needed.

#4- 'so, how did he say it? like this? or like this?'

#5- 'LINER!'

#6- Sears department store - I still laugh when I think of that night.

#7- Drawing dot to dots on your legs on the way home from cali, and then you getting in trouble for sweating the pattern off on trevas seats.

#8- hopelessly devoted to youuuuuuuuuuu or Xanadu - whichever or both!

#9- JO from Tuscon.

#10- gum. frozen blueberries. double meat, double cheese, with a medium rootbeer, the picture of mom with a popsicle, clove gum, black licorice, coffee nips, spaghetti every weeknight for a month, bbq chicken on sundays, pita bread sandwiches in powell, watermelon, little ceasers pizza with banana peppers.

So, i hope you know how much I love and adore ya. seriously. I love talking to you on the phone, I love seeing you even more. You still owe me a trip down here... whenever you are ready. I am so happy knowing such a beautiful, wonderful person who has turned out to be a terrific mother, and wife. You inspire me in so many ways. I wish I were more like you. so strong in everything. full of determination, full of passion, full of it. Jk. but really. you are so much fun to be with. I love it. enjoy your playlist, and you must atleast listen to EACH song, but you dont have to listen to the whole thing. Some of them you might not remember from the title alone. So give it a go, and have a wonderful birthday.

Listened to the play list the whole time that I cleaned the office and did laundry and I loved it soooo much, the memories those songs represent are priceless. Thanks for such a thoughtful tribute. Troop and Lost Boys soundtrack were a forgotten for too long:)
