Where's Waldo...er, Becky?

In case you're wondering, girls' night was a really fun time (I stayed up waaaaay too late). So much fun, in fact, that we're getting together once again this evening! Actually, the real reason we are doing that is because the men have decided to have a get-together. This time, Janna will be coming over as well. Hopefully we can tone down the silliness for Janna's sake, because she is never silly...noooooo, not at all. Ahem.


Hi, how are you?

For the past, 0h I don't know, four years I have been on-and-off looking for a couple of my old roommates. They are twin sisters, so I figured if I found one I would find the other, right? Friendly advice (please note the sarcasm): Twins -- at least the ones I lived with -- get a huge kick out of the "well, if you've seen one, you've seen them both!" kind of remarks. Really, they took all the cajoling in stride. They are both quite hilarious, and that's really why I want to find them again -- just for a laugh or two. So anyway, after years of searching...and searching...I went to (DUH) my university site where I had recently updated my alumni info in order to (DUH) find old college friends. When I did a basic search using only their last name, I found them both, although just one had entered an email address. After getting over how ridiculously easy that had been and kicking myself for time wasted, I sent a brief catch-up letter to Becky and I am hope, hope, hoping that she writes back soon!

Was that Becky and Robin? They didn't even look that much alike! Tell them hi from me. :) I didn't know you roomed with one of them...

BTW, that's interesting to see what others think about grown up twins, seeing as I'm going to have some in the future...

Yeah, that was Becky and Robyn alright -- and I lived with BOTH of them! Let me tell you, those were some fun times. They got irritated with one another, like, every day, but later on (when they'd finished school) they found that they really enjoyed living together. Maybe school just made it harder. I love that I got to live with twins. Just another of those things I find fascinating. And I didn't think they looked anything alike either, but you wouldn't believe how many people couldn't tell them apart!

Oops, mispelled Robyn... :)

Its funny how many sets of twins I've met and known throughout my life and I never guessed I'd one day be parenting my own set...
