Happy Birthday Sophie!

Yesterday one Sophie Muriel Siebach (Peeps for short) turned the big 1-9.  In honor of this event, I feel it necessary to post 19 reasons why I heart my 'lil sis.

1.  I get to live vicariously through her as she lives out all of my dreams like going to Georgetown and visiting Yankee Stadium.  (No bitterness here.)

2.  Thanks to excellent grooming by her older siblings, she got a fantastically witty and fiery sense of humor.

3.  I've never seen anyone juggle so many different responsibilities with such grace and poise, despite the occasional nervous breakdown.

4.  She loves to cuddle.  She says it's because she's gifted.  I say it's because she strange.

5.  She hearts our Scottish terrier (Towser) as much or more than I do.   We are his greatest fans and plan to accessorize him when we both get home for Christmas.  Think tweed jacket, spectacles, and snow boots. Perhaps a scarf.

6.  She makes really embarrassing comments that usually involve anatomy of some sort. 

7.  She is a peacemaker.  All she really wants is for everyone to get along.

8.  I can make fun of her for having the nickname "Little Miss Perfect."

9.  She smart in every school subject, including Chemistry.

10.  She has a killer fashion sense.  I envy her for it.

11.  The G-string (and no it's not what you're thinking).

12.  She has friends named Naner and Ray ray.

13. She is definitely the most socially capable and --dare I say-- "normal" one in the family.  Again, I envy her.

14.  She is becoming more and more adventurous in her culinary exploits.

15.  She continues to endure my endless torture about anything and everything pertaining to her.

16.  She always gives people the benefit of the doubt.

17.  She is musically talented, even though she doesn't think so.

18.  She constantly strives to do the right thing.   

19.  I am grateful that after a tumultuous childhood relationship, I can call her one of my best friends.  I heart you, Peeps!  Happy Birthday!
